Having the thread OP still actively play the game is better than playing telephone about updates and hoping the old OP responds.

The Brand New Ring also makes switching jobs way less punishing/daunting, because you know you've got a big ol' XP bonus waiting for you. And considering that "you can play any/every job on the same character" is one of the big draws for new players compared to WoW...

True Ironman/solo is a challenge run I’ve been meaning to do with an alt at some point, (probably with a BLM) so godspeed on that. Dungeon drops will probably be your best source of new gear if you don’t decide to become an Omnicrafter.

The only reason Coils hasn't been made mandatory despite having just as much of a legitimate claim as Crystal Tower, if not moreso, is because then they'd have to actually redesign the raids to be beatable by normal casual players MSQing in their brand new ilvl90 job gear or doing roulette while drunk and stoned at 3 AM. What I'm saying is that if Squeenix expected people to do Coils legitimately, they'd be making it happen already.

Antivehicular posted:Yeah, while I wouldn't be surprised if 8-man trials end up on the Duty Support roadmap at some point, I don't think Alliance Raids ever will, especially since only the level 50 AR series is MSQ-required or even all that plot relevant. That said, it's a shame that we'll never get Duty Support voice lines trying to explain Crystal Tower raid mechanics. I just want to hear Nero trying to explain Cerberus in WoD and G'raha yelling some variation on "GET ON THE PADS YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS" in LotA.

The AIs not using AoE does mean that if you're tanking, and you try to make a big pull, you're gonna run out of CDs before the DPS plink the mobs to death one at a time.

I love tanking new dungeons, but to be fair I’d also been playing WoW off and on for years before I started XIV. If you wanna get comms and skip queue but don’t wanna have to worry about getting lost, join new dungeons as healer and ask about each boss’ gimmick before the fight starts. Usually someone will be happy to explain (or say “I don’t remember” which usually means “nothing worth worrying about”).

Ice Fist posted:Just did a run of the Great Gubal Library with two sprouts in the leveling roulette. They struggled with the mechanics, but we got through it after I explained how everything worked. Our BLM rage quit after a wipe on the last boss. We eventually got through it though and I was feeling super good about teaching the new guys the mechanics and getting through it in spite of 3-4 wipes. Or to put it another way, you Goofus-and-Gallant-ed with that BLM.

One time a sprout asked me how I could repay him for my kindness for giving him gear and advice and showing him the ropes and I told him I was paying it forward from someone who did it for me, and he should do the same. It was a bald-faced lie, I did it because he was a sprout who wasn’t free trial so I was thrilled that I could actually give him stuff. But I fully believe that the community is what makes XIV worth playing, and if he remembers me and does the same thing for someone else, that’s a win. This game legitimately gives me more hope for and faith in humanity than any other social hobby I’ve had in years.

RE: Getting comms, Sage is a 3-comm machine in dungeons because from like the mid-30s onward, you can keep everyone topped off with oGCDs on even the biggest pulls without ever slowing down your Special shoutout to Zoe+Ixochole, unlocked at Level 56, for an instant-cast, 0 MP, 600 potency, 15-yard AoE heal every 90 seconds. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Oct 6, 2022 |

As long as you're having fun, I guess! The ignoring of Gladiator/Paladin made me snicker, though. (To put it in a way that avoids spoilers: The Paladin job quests leave a bad taste in a lot of players' mouths, at a point in the story where switching to another tank job is both easy and fun.)

Qwertycoatl posted:In any case you'll do much better with a class you click with than one which you read on the internet has the biggest dps when played perfectly  Changing your 'main' job isn't completely trivial, you've gotta level it up and learn your new skills and combos, but it's definitely not the commitment it is in other MMOs like WoW where you have to pick one then stick with it and hope it stays good or else play the whole game over again. So even if you do want to play the top tier DPS job eventually, you don't have to play it right now. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Oct 11, 2022 |

Considering an alt where I play in true Ironman mode, refusing to equip anything I didn’t make myself, and spend the whole game in first person. Problem there, of course, is little questions like “do consumables count”, “can I use retainers” and “how do I handle trials”.

That being said, when you do have to use a GCD heal, use the best one you've got (probably Cure 2, maybe Cure 3 or Medica 2 if everyone took a hit) so you can get back to DPSing quicker.

From a mechanical perspective, Sage is interesting because they’re a shield healer without great crisis healing/triage options, but they also strongly reward even basic forethought. WHM is probably better for blind-running content if you’re worried about getting sucker punched by a mechanic, but once you know a dungeon, SGE really is Laser King. And there’s nothing to make you feel like the Big Dick Healer like throwing down a Eukrasian Diagnosis and a damage reduction and seeing a tankbuster deal 0 damage because your shield literally ate it all.

CodfishCartographer posted:Honestly once you get Taurochole, that and Druochole are pretty strong "someone needs healing now" buttons, and Ixochole + Pepsis works great for the whole party. I'm only at 80 so maybe this changes at the endgame, but it feels a bit weird calling sage a "shield healer" when it has tons of options to heal people and I rarely feel like I actually am putting out that many shields outside of (pan)haima.

So, TL;DR: Glamour dressers are ten year old spaghetti code that they're afraid to touch because it's made of glass and full of things people spent hundreds of hours collecting and/or bought with real money, and "why can't we have X" always basically comes down to "because we need to figure out how to make the whole system not collapse whenever we try to add X"?
