I hit 45 last night and got the final Mudra. Shit just got real.

Were you using the latest version of ACT? There was an issue with Ninja parsing and I think some things are still being worked on (like DOT calculation and tracking).

That aside, I hope no one is expecting Ninja to do equal or greater DPS than a Monk against a stationary target. As you said, Ninjas don't have many set rotations and a lot of their damage will be situational. Monk will probably always have the best sustained DPS in long encounters, but Ninja gets stronger burst damage and utility. The job is definitely complicated and there is a lot to remember, but it's just making me enjoy it even more. While I enjoy playing the other DPS jobs, none of them have engaged me as much as Ninja. I'm hooked!



Angary noooooooo

I'm quite happy about the complexity of the class.

Side not is there a way to see party TP? Right now my solution is macroing Invigorate to Goad and using them simultaneously when my own TP is low. Using that to extrapolate that probably my targets TP is also low.

Turn 12 atm, its the turn where the decent coil music starts at last, the one from the trailer video.

Also makes you watch opening cinematic with a different point of view.

Speaking for those of us who won't be to T12 for about 5 months can we not do this please.

Oh man, you haven't lived until you've seen the opening for T12.

Been a while since I've had a run with 3 completely new players who have never played an MMO in their life.

Kinda hard explaining agro to someone without knowledge of mmo vernacular.

 

[studyguy]

Did Ultros fight/Hilde quest.
Still best parts of the game. Hoping for that EX Greg battle eventually along with EX Ultros now. Also was 2.5 really the end of the Hildebrand questlines as YoshiP stated at the fanfest? We're moving on to his mother or something?

He didn't say it was the end of Hildebrand, he said it was the end of this story arc. And I believe the quote that was translated to English was "maybe he'll fly off again and land in Ishgard this time."

 

[Taruranto]

Ultros was much better than Greg, more fun and actually has rewards. Greg was a waste of resources.

 

[Cob32]

Should I be saving my leve allowance until I run out of quests to level up on?

Fun stuff. Hilde will save Eorzea again.

 

[dramatis]

Turn 10 down!

Look at Qhon trying to be innocent and cute


That said Nin Py, why didn't you just ask Scything to water your plants.

 

[Jayhawk]

Wound up shutting off auto-renewal; I have 16 days to get PLD to 50 and clear Shiva EX, but that's about it until 2.5.

Why you do this, Angary?! YOUR PLD NEEDS GEAR FROM SECOND COIL. LET'S FARM.

i was at school from 2pm Thurs to 9am this morning working in thesis stuff. totally forgot till I posted in this thread. luckily only the glazenut was poor

 

[studyguy]

So the Naruto class has two mistranslated skills?

 

[IMBored]

Don't forget they cap at 100. I think fates and dungeons are generally considered more efficient for leveling, leves more for crafting leveling.

Shadowstalker seems like quite a mistranslation if it has nothing to do with movement speed lol.

 

[retrogamer84]

I am thinking about tackling Qarn normal this weekend (lvl 36 Bard). Anything special I need to know about? Most of the discussion I found was from pre-nerf Qarn.

I'm confused on what they are talking about with the movement speed one. I got the trait and I could see a noticeable difference.

 

[scy]

You're seeing things, then. It never modifies movement speed.

Maybe if you believe enough

I totally agree, after switching from class to class it's considerably better as rogue.

But maybe it was just a starting attribute and the first time you get it you were thinking about something else haha.

 

[Sorian]

I move faster when I switch from BLM to rogue. I can say that for sure, not seeing things.

That's Fleet of Foot. Shadowstalker is the Movement speed one when in Stealth.

Oh ok that's why I felt like something was wrong when I was reading things. Everyone continue about their day.

Not sure if the Playstation blog interview with yoshi p has any new info, but it's the first I've heard of the free trial coming to ps3 and ps4.

It has some neat answers in it anyway.

 

[studyguy]

So at what point to we include NIN into the DRG pile?
I mean currently I have a bunch of NINs just eating AoEs and blowing up left and right.

I had a pro NIN in T5 today, he nearly wrestled the hate from the tank early on.

Probably around the time I max out

That's a good idea, I can see a lot of ps4 folks looking for a good rpg trying it out.

 

[Sorian]

All DRGs are garbage.

 

[Qvoth]

finally cleared t10~

 

[Tabris]

Was he overgeared to the tank?

All DRGs are garbage.

Now that my DRG is i110, next turn we have that's a 1 tank strat, you'll see how bad DRGs really are

 

[Tabris]

There's a nice trick in the Ultros battle that basically prevents you from wiping if you have a skilled enough player.

Why the vagueness? What is it?

I'd like to know because I keep on having to explain strat and mark myself so DPS know where to stack every trial roulette. Even then it takes them 1-2 wipes to get it. Makes trial roulette kinda useless now except for helping new players.

 

[EndcatOmega]

All DRGs are garbage.

That's insulting, rubbish can be recycled.

 

[studyguy]

Skilled enough player?

It requires 0 skill. You just have someone jump out shortly before Typhon does his giant AoE that causes a party to ring out. This way the person gets pre-stunned and it wears off. Then he jumps back in after Typhon's move and you keep going.

Hey moaradin:

At least DRG doesn't have a fist of fire type move that you can forget to put on :V

I play MNK like I play street fighter. Mash buttons as fast as possible and see what happens. I can't be thinking do I have fists of fire, or don't I?

I know you don't play with the keyboard master race, but my understanding for top monk DPS is you are supposed to headbutt your keyboard a few times then just kind of roll your face across all the keys once or twice.

Edit: This is also why moara doesn't wear a headset, it gets in the way.

Oh hey, I think I see the new ninja rotation in there.

 

[Tabris]

BTW, it was really scary googling for gifs of button mashing. I dunno why, but my entire screen was filled with my little pony.

And some really disturbing ones. I'm turning safe search back on.

 

[Jayhawk]

I don't see any locking-on the target in that mashing. You're missing a lot of autoattacks, causing your dps to suffer.

 

[Devilgunman]

Omg just beat Ramuh EX through DF last night lol My faith in DF has been restored. Here come Shiva!


On the other hand, Fenrir fight is such a let down, considering he's the last boss of the dungeon. Yeti fight is more fun :/

You can't DF Shiva EX
