FFXIV 6.0: Endwalker (December 7, 2021)

[Athas]

Probably still AV if you just want tomes and have BLU.

PVP is a good options too, Wings slightly better the Frontline since you have a 50% win chance instead of 33%.

[Prothescar]

yea BLU AV is the best and fastest way. Can clear in 2-4 mins depending on the quality of your group and realistically only 1 or 2 people need to be BLU.

[Corrderio]

I will look into that if I can. I got BLU to 50 but haven't done spell hunting yet.

So far been grinding Keeper of the Lake since the 3 Stormblood trials don't seem all that speedy to me.

[Kaisha]

Unrestricted + Level-sync still works.



I've gotten it down to around 8min, but a lot of time wasted on the last boss. A bit of a far cry from the 5min WPs of a couple years ago when you don't miss a beat on your execution + having the iLvl advantage on that.

[Yabby]

What is the point of doing these that people are seeking out? Just mounts?

[The Stig]

For me, it's to get the dog primarily so I don't need to join a farm group
Also to get the hair which I think is exclusive?
And to buy the missing card or pet that I might not have.

Damn I need to get back to it on Blue Mage.

[Prothescar]

That's only really worth it if you really don't wanna join a party. 2, 3, or 4 BLUs can cut the time down substantially. Think my record was just over 2 minutes with 4 BLUs.

[Corrderio]

Impressive. I need to farm BLU spells some time.

So with Endwalker being out for about 3 months now are there any good online guides for rotations/etc? Most I saw just have a "coming soon" message and have been dead since early February.

Thanks. Gunbreaker still seems to be a WIP which is what I was looking for since I feel my rotation pattern is shit.

Other than that though I went back to SMN over the weekend and the differences between 5.0 and 6.0 feel like night and day and in a good way. Might be jumping the gun a bit but this might be my new caster if it continues to go well.

[Vaspinne]

That was my sentiment as well about Smn. I can imagine pre-70 it being absolutely dreadful, but once the toolkit begins to fill out (especially when you get astral flow for Ifrit/Garuda/Titan), it just gets really fun

I don't know what you're expecting I guess? This game revolves around performing an opener, and then maintaining your resource until your next full re-opener, keeping your 60s on CD for when the next 2min window comes around to burst hard.



You shouldn't need much more beyond this.

[Corrderio]

Thanks. I need to practice a bit I guess. Their rotation is nowhere near as basic as PLD/WAR which is part of the problem.

[Yabby]

Keep in mind FFlogs >> xivanalysis does a great job of showing weaknesses. It doesn't tell you if everything is wrong, but it will give you a good amount of info to fix things.

[Corrderio]

That might help too. Besides trying to keep my rotation going GNB feels a bit frail when it comes to dungeon runs.

Frail in what way? I've not really had any issues.

[Corrderio]

I feel like I rely on CDs more than PLD/WAR. Might just be me getting burned out after tank grinding and shelving it for awhile after capping though.
