Lastik did the first trial! (FF 14 spoilers)
2 years ago
So playing through Final Fantasy 14 MSQ, got to the part we face King Kupo and holy moly now do I understand why everyone says to turn down or disable other players visual effects! I couldn't see shit in front of me! I did check a vid before attempting it so I kinda knew what to do more or less (not that that fight is particularly complicated).
I was expecting for the queue to take longer since I needed that specific trial and I'm DPS, but it ended up being real fast (well 6 minutes, but I'm still from the paleolithic era of shouting LFG in a city main chat).
One thing I still haven't wrapped my head around are the glamours. In WoW once you have the item, you unlock the transmog for it even if you vendor it afterwards, same for GW2. Here we need to use specific items to store them and we have a limited space for them also?
I'm kinda at a loss on what to glamour or not (except for my dearly beloved fat chocobo head).
I also haven't sold much gear yet 'cause lower level classes need it (and again kinda afraid to lose out on potentially cool glamours), so I'm kinda getting inventory bloat.
Another question I have is regarding Blue, so you learn the skills from enemies because that's what a blue mage always did in FF (I'm looking at you Quistis Trepes, you literally had the skill Devour). Some of the enemies are dungeons only and Blue is a limited class? Wont that mean I can't join in the dungeon to learn the skill? Also I don't actually need to get hit by the skill yeh? The enemy just needs to use it and if it's defeated, there's a chance I'll learn it.
I'm really enjoying ARR and I've currently just finished the "A Realm Awoken" section. Looking forward to finishing the patches content so I can unlock Ishgard and a bunch of classes!
On that matter, what's yer favorite tank and healer, and why do you like them?
On the art department things are progressing (yes). The whole thing has a main scene and 3 vignettes, I got the main scene and one of the vignettes done, and am currently doing the flats for the 2nd vignette. I kinda wanna do something with Shikabane (aggretsuko) in the future, took a liking to the character.
That about it for the Lastik, stay cheeky y'all.

As for learning Dungeon specific ones, again, you kinda have to do the dungeons unsynced which waives job restrictions.
I'm progressing through the Maelstrom MSQ, just done delivering the refugees to the Revenant's Toll. Also played a bit with White Mage 'till lvl 35 when I unlocked Regen. That spell is such a game changer (and also I see now why folks advise to take caution when using it pre-pull lol)
Also! Re: Glamours, if you spend a prism to add them to your dresser you can then glam it for free by either using a preset plate you have like 20 slots to set up in any spot where you're rested, or individually apply out of the dresser as long as you're in an inn. The only glams you can't easily get later, you can usually store for free in the armoire.
And yeh, WM seems fun healing wise so far. I also have a lvl 38 scholar and while I enjoy the shields and fairy, shields don't stack with other shields (like say if you also happen to have a Sage in the party) and the whole aether gauge mechanic don't rub me the right way.
I asked about those because I don't have any tank class yet (okay I have a gladiator at 9, which is like nothing), and I do enjoy tanking as well, but on the other hand I have a couple classes at 52-54 and I do believe I unlock Gunbreaker and Dark Knight at 60? So I'm not sure if I shouldn't just do a push for it.
(and before you get a shiver down your spine, yes I do take tanking seriously, watched some good vids on warrior tanking and did practice it on the duty support dungeons. I know it goes beyond turning on tank stance and spam the 1-2-3 combo lol)
What make GB weaker as a tank?
