almost triple legend btw

What's your favorite Ultimate fight?

I seem to be an outlier in the community since most pref TEA but definitely

UCOB > TEA > UWU for me.

UCOB and UWU definitely suffer from unsync meme (no dps checks, quite easy recovery besides key mechanics) and being 70 but I still love UCOB trios -> Ads -> Golden the most.
TEA is really easy once you get Wormholes down and stop doing Doll/Nisi memes. UWU, puzzle mechanic aside, feels between a Savage and Ultimate.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

I haven't gone into ucob seriously until like a couple weeks ago so I like REALLY feel the cheese. It's still more engaging than uwu i think though, Nael phase is super fun

TEA > UCOB > UWU atm

uwu still does have like suppression and a couple of the ult attacks that were fun to figure out the movement.

first golden pull tonight. bluh.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

hit 80 about a month or two ago, finished MSQ shortly after that. /playtime when I hit 80 was 26 days lmao, absolutely nuts. currently shopping around for a static for endwalker prog, using this month before release to get thru as many savage edens as possible. probably won't touch ultimates until I find a static
shadowbringers as a whole was great but I think part of this was due to stormblood being merely alright. HW > ShB > SB > ARR imo
I don't think I've had this much fun healing in an mmo since rift, guaranteed I will continue to heal here until the servers finally shut down

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

Started playing a few days ago, already done with ARR pre-50 MSQ and well into the Seventh Astral Era postgame stuff. Definitely looking forward to HW as everyone I've asked seems to think it's the best story.

For once I managed to not roll a healer in an MMO and instead I am having a ton of fun tanking. Really enjoying the change of pace.

Crystal-Goblin server, character name is Edge Edgelord.
I have to say, seeing the NPCs call me Master Edgelord never gets old.

triple legend btw

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

nice delay, time to move pto
savage is unrealistic prolly so I'm just gonna study extreme strats and heal the hell outta some pugs

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

Endwalker.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

I might have liked it more than ShB's story but I'll have to sleep on it a few more days lol

Still gotta read all the sidequests, esp the chain quests.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

Queuewalker.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

me rn

finding my true calling as a floor spec melee dps

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

savage tomorrow, Proggies

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

finishing msq tonight, poroggies

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

This game is so fucking fun. Even the badly designed stuff is fun.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

Probably the best savage tier so far, it's incredible (P4S here we come)

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

Savage is fun so far

Msq was amazing

Endwalker is a 10/10 in my book so far

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

One of my goals in this game was to get every combat job to 80 before I lost my Road to 80 buff (and my sprout) and yesterday I finally did it!



Made it to post-ShB and took a quick two week detour in Bozja, made it with 5 days left on Road to 80.
Basically every job in this game is fun to play, I'm super impressed. On to the post-ShB MSQ trial tonight then Endwalker soon, I'm so excited!

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

good shit, technically you have every job to 80+ because once you unlock scholar, it'll be instantly level 80 with your summoner lol

Also pots really only needed if you're trying to do huge numbers, casual raiding especially after later weeks with gear don't need pots to clear thankfully.

Enjoy rest of msq tbh, it's still a hell of a ride to the end

Re: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
 

Yeah Scholar/Summoner is a weird case, I really enjoyed the leveling process as the new Summoner so I just never bothered to unlock Scholar but I know it's 80 too when I feel like doing another class quest chain.
New summoner is the most brain off combat job for sure, I love it. You shift into Maximum Overdrive for 15 seconds then go through all your different colored Legos and use all the charges of each, rinse and repeat. So simple compared to even Dancer, and the procs like Ruin III that you get last forever so you it's trivial to have them line up when you need burst.

Definitely thinking my main role is tank, I enjoy it so much and that's what I've been doing with my static as we work through the old raids (also why I mention pots, I've just been using them in synced Coils because it's a good habit to get into and fights like Nael are still kinda even real after all these years; obviously not necessary but why not have the option available). Warrior and Gunbreaker are my choices while tanking for sure, I love how many cooldowns they have access to at higher levels.
For melee dps I enjoy Samurai even though I'm not great at it. I have a terrible habit of hitting my 1 to start a combo then realizing Meikyo is off CD, so I either need to use Meikyo and accept I wasted a GCD, or delay my Meikyo as I finish the combo, both of which are terrible. Especially since one of my friends basically only plays Ninja and fucking up causes my Meikyo and Tsubame CDs to drift out of his trick attack window. On one hand none of the content I'm playing is hard enough that this wipes us or anything, on the other hand I feel like a moron every time I do it.
My ranged DPS would be Dancer if they didn't feel so terrible to play at the moment, so instead I've been enjoying Machinist too. All three magic dps are fun but we have so many people who want to main these jobs in my friend group that I've not bothered to compete with them for raid spots. Fun to play in content like Bozja though.
I've been a healer main in all other MMOs I've played and it's actually strange that I'm not vibing with healing in this game as much. So much of what you do feels like being a 2-button DPS class who just presses OGCDs between your casts. I really want to be forced to have to hardcast heals... maybe once I get into ShB/Endwalker savages and stuff I will enjoy healing more, but in dungeons and normal trials it's not what I'm looking for.

Overall this game is an absolute banger. Our old content raid static has started up again in earnest so I'm looking forward to being done with Coils and getting into Alexander.
