FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

Sounds like Spearfishing.

Can you equip actions to the second and third bar with a macro?

[Telliani]

Bah... and here I was hoping it was some unknown thing that'll be added once they put in some content.
Grinding that last 3k hurt my head, time to clean the house.

Yeah, use /eaction 11-30 "command name"

11-20 is bar 2
21-30 is bar 3

(I could be wrong about the specific numbers, but generally it's like that).

Any way to equip abilities with macros?

[qpoiuwer]

I would imagine /action "Cure" "aaa bbb" would work, though I've never tested it.

Most macro inquiries were discussed here: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/972...-change-Macros

on thm i can buy these stat transfer things with guild marks, what exactly are they? sounds pretty useless since we can realocate the points.

I died during the Rank 15 Gridanian quest fight. It gave me an objective failed message in the chat log, but I still progressed through the story line. Is it supposed to be like that? What is my punishment for failing the objective?

Been trying to gather anyone for 6 level 30 guildleves around Limsa for a day now and absolutely nothing, what the hell is going on?

[Riposte]

Are any quests or leves especially challenging? Is it possible to up the difficulty without getting to the point where you are overwhelmed?

[Greedouw]

I assume there are no faction leves designed for us Miners, ya? Finally got over 100 faction points to start these leves, but can't run em =(

It can take a while to do a full stat reset. Don't remember the exact time it takes but it's a significant chunk, assuming you're sitting there at your computer for 24 hours straight or whatever it takes hitting reallocate on the hour every hour.

They seem to me more for people (Like myself) who want to cross-class regularly and wouldn't want to take forever and a day reallocating every single time they wanted to switch between magic or melee. So, instead you slap a few of those on when you switch classes and you get a minor boost in one direction or the other to make up for having the wrong stats.

And if you don't mind waiting that long, or randomly decide to drop a job forever, you use reallocate for that. I feel like they need to increase the stat allocation per ability to make them really useful (especially considering its stat point allocation, not raw stats, so if you were converting two 40+ stats, the +5 ability only gives you 2 actual decrease/increase).

Horn/Hand Faction is focused on all Disciples of the Land/Hand as there is no fighting involved. The only other actual quests involving Mining outside of Fieldcraft Leves will be Miner class quests.

SHIT... all those points into Azeyma's Shields =(

Has anyone gotten Battle Regimens to work properly? Every time I try it with some mates it only executes the first persons attack, despite everyone being in range and whatnote -- never tells the others to "go".

No punishment, just go back to the person who you talked to in order to restart the fight.

That's one of my biggest gripes with the game. Things are either way too easy, where you one-shot mobs, or things are way too hard, and you get one-shotted. There doesn't seem to be any logic behind how they designed these things.

[miokomioko]

Yes, the exponential difficulty curve is frustrating.

[Datonare]

Any tips on avoiding Binding Tendrils? Or do I just have to take it in the face? Tried side-stepping/running away to no avail, but maybe I was just too slow.
