>Do you have numbers?
No, but testing was done when the new lb type was added. People were expecting it to be between melee and caster so were thrown off when it wasn't.

>I was always told the caster tradeoff was a larger aoe for less pot.

In comparison to the Melee lb. Caster has the longest cast in exchange for the crazy large AoEs.

Tanks (and healers) are being rebalanced. So that is unknown.

Warriors are getting a Gap closer, Dark Knights are getting a defensive buff that they can give others and Paladins look to be getting an AoE.

...

I like this outfit

I'll upgrade at some point.

...

Stop benchmark avatarfagging or get purged.

Any AMDfags running the benchmark?
Let me see how well your 290/390/Fury cards are doing for it at 4k.

Ahah, alright. I guess I'll level up DRK then I have it at 60 in all cases.

Which class has your favourite and least favourite AF? Which class has the coolest new ability?
>ninja because it looks ornate but still stealthy
>astrologian because it doesn't match at all
>warrior because charge
I really need a better GPU :<
I don't like how guys get a chest tattoo when the females just get a simple chestwrap, IMO just having a bare chest for guys would be better

Post your specs with the pics you fucking balls of shit

Which duty drops lala eb? I need something to farm before SB.

>benchmark struggles in spots
>get extremely high
I guess.

>70 second load time

Mine was 30 and it felt like I was slow

Kinda hyped

Here
Couldn't be bothered to move the benchmark to my ssd

I go to 10.2K with full screen from borderless window. I only gain an average of ~1-2 FPS in full screen over borderless window.

Its relative to the minimums not the maximums.

Anyone here using a 979? How good was your benchmark?

...

This cat looks oddly familiar.

Forgot specs.

...

Fuck off, we're posting benchmarks.

no

...

>9k
>with a 1060

Nigga check your pc. I am gettig 10k+ with a 970

Post modest lala ladies

You think we'll be able to get this as an emote?

Miqo'te are pretty generic, user.

Can you disable the graph in the benchmark? I want nice screens of catboys.

10379 max
51s loading
Looks like old hunk of junk is gonna hold up for now

Which catboys are easy targets for bullying???

>all those hot catboys in the trailer

You can try out the new hair in the character creator

If you cant clear a fight without a lb, you didnt deserve to clear, shitter

shit hairs desu dyke and thinking about going dyke

Can't benchmark right now, what are they?

>The AST AF3

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it looks like shit
Fuck

Please calm down.

where are you at user

...

Got any nudes?

Small rez cause i picked what my normal setup is when leveling having streams and whatnot playing in the backround.

how can you play at that res?

>1060 3GB

with specs

...

yeah but they get me banned
feel free to take your own

I can't benchmark just yet. Anyone notice any graphical improvements in the benchmark or is it the same as what we have now?

>afraid to post your face because people will know who you are

Left is cute as fuck
Right looks really weird

>know who i am
i don't even have an identity attached to me the lizard is just an alt i made

posted in a dying thread but I could still use some advice anons

What's wrong with that?

I dunno just how my eyes work or something. When i play fullscreen i feel like i cant see everything and i hate it.

the human eye can't even see more than 500

Based on his post I'd say by having it in that setup while leveling and watching streams and whatnot in the background

cool hairs

...

I'm glad that there a still devs who give a shit about optimization.

You're a slut now.

Post face....
at work now

Its not that you will regret it. Its that it will then open gateways to wanting to try other race/genders and then your wallet is lighter again and again.

After a while you dont even remember who you are anymore and wake up every morning in the bed of another person.

Care to elaborate?

see

hahahahha fucking pedo epperson kys

>purecat footsies

...

How do you get your character to do the benchmark?

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Benchmark
Tested on: 4/28/2017 11:59:37 AM
Score: 11755
Average Frame Rate: 85.956
Total Loading Time 20.432 sec

System
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.150525-0603)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5930K CPU @ 3.50GHz
16308.031MB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (VRAM 3958 MB)

Not bad for a machine that's almost two years old. Probably going to need to replace the video cards (insert 970 memes here) by the time 5.0 comes out, but everything else should be remain relevant for the foreseeable future.

My one complaint though: why does the whole world still run on 5.1 audio? 7.1 is pretty standard, even with on-board sound. And audio systems to support it are extremely cheap. Hell, I've been using a 9.1 channel audio system for years (and fortunately, the receiver is extremely good at up-converting).

What role you gonna be doing content first as in SB?
SCH here

it is possible to survive it without tank lb3 and echo

Depending on how fun the complete toolkits are, MNK, RDM or BLM

...

Going in as scholar then switching to RDM.

>he wasnt talking about that literal single time you spod.
He was talking about chrysalis

aaa AAA aaaa...
Sinful thoughts, cease!

Thanks!

I made a trial account on cactus. Made a cat boxer. Where does everyone hang out. When do I get to mash the potatoes?

>tfw still using a 660 ti
At least I'll be able to play the game kinda.

>40 dollars for a cake

CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP

Which midlander would you marry, xivg?

Elliot

Lockwood

I have a 660 ti. We'll be fine. Mostly.

Bard.

>First time doing the vault

>The healer refuses to Medica II for some reason
>Takes 5 times before he listens to reason and we beat it

I have never been so frustrated

/hug
Fuck that guy user

It's a midpop server so idleshire or limsa market

welcome to gilga's little tryhard brother server

SAM if WHM is a letdown

Most of the time I can't get healers to stop using Medica II so it was a bit of a shock

>gilga's little tryhard brother server
I thought that was ultros?

Primal server are a joke, they don't even count.

I really want to try SAM when it comes out but god damn will the queues be ridiculous.

Will we be able to POTD to level 70 to test our class fast or will it stay 60?

How many play on Famfrit?

>Not Aether datacenter amounting to anything

I am ready to be considered useless by the community at large.
