Previously on /xivg/ :

Oh god what have I done with my life

do we really need to have a deviantart fetish image in our op

Yeah, I hope SAM changes up melee DPS too.

WAR cannot, they just don't have the infinite resource pool for AoE, and can't sprint between pulls freely either.

They still do good damage though

>archer runs ahead and starts shooting at mobs

should I get the shire SMN book or BLM staff?

fits this place desu

>BRD triggers raid boss with foes

i256 DRG LF Static on Excalibur (or Primal once 3.5 hits)
I have Sophia Ex on farm, PST...

alex weapons are better for both, so w/e you play more

i260 PLD lf static on balmung
i have expert roulette on farm, pst

I really don't understand how you're supposed to solo PotD after floor 50 on any DPS class even though they say it's possible

Somebody has to fill me in on how you're supposed to survive bosses on BLM or Ninja

I like Mumu, but I'm too shy to do anything about it :c

Look at this shitter in his welfare gear.
I bet he's never even cleared Sophia Ex.

i256 MNK on Excalibur looking for waterfalls, food and a purpose. PST.

There aren't enough dungeon fail videos on youtube

I love seeing people fuck up with basic shit and end up dead

I miss you.

You're not supposed to, but you still can to a point.

I miss me, too

henlo

Mumu is an idiot

post handsome males
no catbois or popotoes pls

Well I mean there's a handful of people that have made it to like 130+ on certain DPS classes so there's gotta be something i'm missing

Monk seems more possible than the rest cause of traited second wind and mantra but that's it

more like hell no
lmao

Fuck off and die

Seriously is this bullshit what this general wants to be?

*airguitars erotically*
Widdly widdly widdly widdly widdly waaaah~!

shut up

this is the only purpose of the general
fuck off to /v/ and rot there

Mumu is cute!

gotem

How about no? This is ffxiv general, not internet homo boyfriend general

lf internet homo boyfriend

kill urself

sure bud that's what you think when you are obviously wrong rofl

Mumu is cute when they're like that!
What do they like? If I came back on Stormblood and maybe changed to something that caught their eye...

no u
seriously kill urself

>People think you're supposed to talk about the game here
How obtuse can you be to know that wasn't the case around here.

Why is /taunt so terrible on every catgirl besides mine?

...

This general needs a purge

I don't think I've ever actually used it

I take it back, that's pretty good.
You're missing out.

uwu..

As an actual player of the game, you have no idea how much I agree.

people actually use cringey names like that in public settings? holy fuck

It's supposed to be ironic!!

full circle man
never go full circle

>every ninja you encounter is shit

who am i supposed to ask for advice

am i edgy enough

When's the best time to make a char on Gilgamesh or Balmung?

Gilgamesh early morning. Balmung literally never, you're paying $18.

tank c@

when are machinists going to be nerfed?

1/10
pick a different face or at least try not to make the one you picked worse than it already is.

the only thing that isn't bad here is that you didn't pick an outright obnoxious skin-hair color combination, though it is still fairly bland.

name/server/marital status/sexual preference?

why are you posting about this here
who cares it's not xiv

4.0 probably
expect trick attack and hypercharge to be reduced to 5%

>trick attack getting nerfed to 5%
>leaves a 60s debuff after use preventing the use of another trick attack
>red mage is getting their own trick attack

you heard it here first folks

ZurvMan Ex will save this game.

...

This is exactly why I hate xivg discord.. This chat is pure, unadulterated, 100% stupidity. Nobody has a single unique, new thought, all spouting the latest meme after meme, that aren't even good. THIS is why I'm turning off chat and will just watch the professional gameplay. And I swear to god, if any of you copy and paste this, I'm deleting my account forever.

Not sure where the 5% number is coming besides your ass, but Trick Attack getting the Virus / Apocatastasis treatment seems like a given, even if another job doesn't get an equivalent ability.

Nothing will ever save Christmas again

does xivg even have a discord anymore

But last Christmas I gave you my heart, and you said that would save Christmas...

Sorry, I gave it away for a voucher

why nerf the most difficult class to learn

looks like a gay emo boy

difficulty shouldn't mean they should be objectively better in most situations compared to other classes

you shouldn't reward difficulty with 'better', you should reward difficulty with a unique playstyle or more flexibility

>a voucher
What the FUCK? Is that all I'm worth to you...?

whats difficult about mch

>muh encounter knowledge

every job requires this

goobers

If it makes you feel better, I bought some really nice scented candles

Uh, no. You absolutely should award difficulty with "better", you just shouldn't have it be a gap large enough to be too centralizing.

I'm literally crying right now... ;_;
I guess this year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special...

You mean DRK?

goombas

If you award difficulty or learning curve when it comes to classes with 'better' (i'm talking in simple terms, higher numbers, which is what mch has currently) you have a situation where it's only a factor of time before it becomes a problem. Like it is now. Whether or not anyone here thinks it is actually difficult to play mch you can't just have job selection boil down to 'how autistic you want it senpai'

Shut up Ippiki.

What's good /xiv/

Exactly how are MCH's numbers higher, though? Answer without posting fflogs links, please.

I bet when they do that they leave balance as is.

Everything is good. Just thinking how I am gonna eliminate that rotten fruitcat and take their place. Do you have plans for 3.5?

because it's out performing every other class by at least 100-1000 DPS

Not much. Could be worse, though.

What do you want someone to manually calculate its potential DPS for you?

Really hope Red Mage opens the door for some magic-heavy comps like BRD-RDM-BLM-SMN in Stormblood. I mean ideally balanced compositions are a little better than lopsided ones, but if all-physical is allowed to be meta a mostly-magical one should be too.

Has there been any word about whether the anime weapon step is coming in 3.5 or 3.55?
I figure it'll be 3.55, but I'd be happy to hear otherwise ;_;

Yeah that would be pretty cool. Watch them put magic damage immune adds or boss phases in the raid tier

rdm is gonna be a low dps dps

>Source: Your Ass

So what, are you saying it'll be the caster version of NIN?

awful

It's 3.5, it's on the mini site already and it doesn't have the 3.5x tag like diadem has

I really feel like I can push more spa out as mnk bit I'm not sure where. At 260 I can parse 2.4K for a long time on a dummy but I've ran into many mnk that can do my dps with lower gear...

Source: Logic.


It's going to be a half assed caster with melee moves make it mediocre at best.

Oh cool, thank you.
Now I don't feel so bad about not getting the shire halberd..

...

The videos clearly show that its pretty much a BLM but with leap moves. The people who think RDM will be weaving magic and melee fighting are delusional.

blue is best

WHO ARE YOU
Sorry to hear everything isn't alright. Keep your head up and I hope things works out.

>I-I don't like it so it's gonna be bad!!
I bet you were one of those newfags who thought RDM should be a melee job, or worse, a tank.
