Alisaie has been entertaining since she's been allowed to actually be part of the team. A chip on her shoulder in almost every conversation, she's funny.

Alisaie just gets funnier the more you progress the MSQ. It's great.

Make it so if two healers use rescue on the same target at the same time instead of going to either of them it just slingshots the target at the boss.

I think every job should have a complete kit at level 50 and it should just be potency upgrades after that

That would be boring imo. Make it like Monk where the kit feels complete at level 50, but there's still room to add on.

Like level 50 summoner would feel a lot better if Aether Trance made Ruin instacast.

It never ceases to amuse me how utterly necessary macros were in FFXI, and how utterly useless they are (in combat) in FFXIV.

Though to be fair that's because most FFXI macros involved changing multiple gear pieces around mid-combat to get the most out of specific skills, so everyone would be constantly blinking in and out while their character models updated.

I wish FFXIV macros had more utility in combat but I like the accessibility. Especially since it's still controller-friendly.

should call them wackros

Oh, they're all terrible. Hancock is legitimately the least trash person to show up (which, lmao), and iirc they might have cut him out of that questline when they made Ridorana less of a pain to unlock?

As someone who just completed the coils it quickly became one of my favorites. The music and atmosphere in the second coil alone is enough to elevate it past some of the other raids with their cool mechanics and dope vocal tracks.

So to reiterate the importance of RDM gauge balance if your balance is way off like say 19/82 and you use manafication it's won't give you the full 50 just enough to top off the gauge that's almost full while filling up the other the same amount and gently caress up your melee combo.

Granted this is a niche scenario that should almost surely never happen and I certainly did not just experience this firsthand.

only problem with summoner is it can feel slow and plodding up until you're almost done leveling to 90, but they do seed in the flashing lights and sounds over time.

It's not too bad when you get trance at around 60. Your Ruin 3s becoming instacast help speed things up a lot.

Also don't forget to resummon Carbuncle if you die!

There's no harm in holding a stack or two if you expect healing will be necessary somewhere in the next 20s, but if you're at risk of overcapping and/or you have some downtime with no dps to do, fire them off.

Kyrosiris posted:

Against a single target, Misery is effectively DPS neutral, because the GCDs you spend using lilies could be Glares instead, and Misery is the same potency as three Glares.

So, it's more of a "do you need these" question.

E: Also yeah, as Orcs said, you don't want to overcap on lilies.
