Nah issue was with Bahamut-egi.
Its working now. Only issue I've heard about is 90k is you do a charging attack and do no damage (cuz the mob died)

more of a feature than a glitch if you ask me... !
Floor 90 boss doesn't play the fuck around.
e,e
FL80+ doesn't fuck around in general, especially the mob patrols. I don't know how much you're betting on chest RNG to keep you afloat with oh-shit pomanders/magicites from there-on.
Chest/floor RNG shouldn't be what decides the run in a PT. You can and should enter F80 with a full pomander set, and once you learn to always pull mobs out of rooms and to sac luring traps, the only truly threatening element is the mob patrols... which in HoH you can always avoid and controllably pull thanks to the addition of dead-end hallways between most rooms.
For something that was hyped up to be "70 floors of content comparable to POTD F150+" it sure couldn't be any farther from that mark, only F80-100 are similar and they still manage to be easier because of the aforementioned hallways letting you cheese patrols and pomanders being incredibly OP this time around. Overall I'd say this was a step down in every possible way except for the F90 boss, and the shorter climb.
Still pretty fun tho. I know they said all of HOH would be added in one patch (unlike POTD which was split between 2) but I hope this doesn't mean we have to wait two more years for more of this content.
I'm gonna be honest because I'm only at floor 71 and no doubt I'll promptly get my butt kicked from here on in but the fact that people have already gotten the mount from clearing 4 times just shows it's nothing like as hard as PotD. Kinda annoys me cos I loved the epicness of finally clearing Palace.
Also in the patch;
it's HAPPENING
Prepare for total disappointment and no synergy so it gets treated like sam and mnk.
I expect synergy on the level of NIN. Regardless of how XI's BLU ended up in the long game, it was meant to have limitless flexibility and support capability. I don't think they'd jam it into XIV as another powerhouse DPS like SAM
Nah MNK's stature as both a relative DPS powerhouse and their retooled brotherhood with their now quick recovery of 3 greased lightning stacks is making MNK viable again. Surprised to be seeing a lot of UwU comps that are DRG + MNK honestly.
My sadistical money is on Blue Mage actions being tired to the Logos system in 4.4 Eureka.
I'm curious as to how they're going to pull it off.
Learning monster abilities is core to the Blue Mage identity, but this is at odds with the XIV ability system.
Off the top of my head the only thing I can think of, is that slightly surprising announcement of the 4.4 expansion of role actions from 5 to 10 slots.
If they don't give BLU the normal role actions, and instead hijack that panel for monster abilities, that would give BLU 10 actions to make a build out of, which seems workable.
Blue Mage never was at odds with XIV's ability system considering they used a very similar system in XI exclusively for the job. It's at odds with their design decision where every job has to be braindead easy to get into otherwise it won't work.
watch it be an Eureka only thing since they already talked about the third installment having a new skill system that allows classes to use special skills beyond their roles for a short amount of time
dreams ruined, go home everyone
I'm 100% expecting XIV's implementation of Blue Mage to be akin to FFX's, aka using a skill on something grants you access to the ability from then on rather than having to get hit by it. It's the type of dumbing down of basic mechanics that Yoshida is so in tune with. As far as how the job will work, they can go either way...
A) A more limited set of spells/abilities just like every other job.
B) A larger pool of spells/abilities that can be set on a point/slot system like XI. There will certainly be no trait system like XI though, that would hurt all those smooth little brains out there.
Almost certainly going to be seeing option A because anything that breaks the mold doesn't fit Yoshida's vision. I'm sure I'll be totally fucking disappointed with XIV's implementation after spending so much time and energy on XI's, but it will probably end up being my main job regardless. The real question is, what role will it be? If they're really done adding tanks/healers (which is entirely fucking stupid for a number of reasons) then that settles it, but if not, Blue Mage can fit any role. Personally hoping for a damage-focused tank similar to Warrior myself, but that's extremely unlikely. Really anything besides healer would be great.
My guess if they go with it as a job I could see it becoming a tanking job. Before this I was firmly expecting an ancient Geomancer healer and a gunblade wielding Tank. I could see BLU being mixed with that Tank role with them gaining a resource for being hit that enables them to use monster abilities but then they'd need something that allow them to gain the same resource while being the OT.
