I've never done diadem 1 OR 2, since they both got such a bad reputation.

Went to diadem once, and only then because I was piggybacking off the DGKK gatherers.

I always forget about Raw Intuition somehow even though I have it in the same spot as a defensive CD as DRK :downs:

I think the problem here is that DRK is super stupid hard to get killed while playing and I'm just way more used to it.

Your average warrior player thinks that even looking at Defiance will cause them to turn to dust, like a vampire at sunrise.

I haven't seen someone actually use Inner Beast in months.

I use inner beast while playing in Defiance :ohdear:

E: And my brain never thinks of it as a defensive cooldown either, I'm probably bad at WAR

To clarify with the Gaze Stack, you should also look away even if you intend NOT to stack. the gaze effect extends about twice as far away as the ring is wide. The ring is only for the stack damage the targeted player is about to suffer and not an indicator of how far reaching its Terror gaze effect is. It's not a very good marker overall because of that. It's not so important for Ranged or Healers(honestly everyone should be on his rear end anyway until he absorbs Scathach since it's the safest place to be,) but it's super duper important for the Main Tank to realize this.

I stopped even trying to stack on that thing when playing healer in pub groups because it felt like more of a risk to be the only one and get myself killed than having to resurrect the tank

Yeah as a healer I just stay the gently caress away from everything and try to keep people alive. If I go in to the tank stack, half the group bolts right before it hits and I die. If I'm in the gaze stack, the target moves in front of me at the last second and I get hit. The rest of the group is choking on balls they're too lazy to dodge so I have to avoid them too.

Reiterpallasch posted:

-> be at 1 hp because Blindside starts at ~430k and the only thing that actually saved you was holmgang. Those healers were quite dumb because it's not the tanks fault it's the lack of stackers fault.

Meanwhile, as PLD I can take his two Blindsides in a row with 0 damage :smuggo:

Also Blindside follows normal enmity priorities, IE the highest person on the list is getting hit. The unique thing it does is that it doesn't get canceled by the target dying, meaning someone trying to waste Diabolos' time by forcing his cast to cancel is just killing someone else :v:

Can someone with good coordinates tell me WHERE in Ul'dah the Quest NPCs are? I wanna grab that, do the quest and get the hell out.

I only have excellent ideas
Revised Diadem was kind of nice if you liked selling a lot of cordials or if you could find a consistent market for certain gathering things. I was surprised at how quickly it became dead content because as a gatherer it was really convenient if extremely grindy. It was not at all very fun to do as a DoW or DoM class imo though.

The coordinates are listed in the patch notes. The RDM NPC is near the city exit gate near the marketboards, and the SAM trainer will be in the plaza outside the aetheryte room.

I'd pay real money on the mogstation (and level DRG past low 30s) if I could have one of the DRG AF from FFXI:



Then again apparently I'm a weirdo who hates overbusy and spikey armor.

Tone down the fins on the shoulderpads and dye that some kind of blue and that'd look decent.

Maybe a different helmet though.
