Just. Communicate.

All of these issues are so easily avoided by simply talking to eachother. Do you start audibly crying when your health falls below 50%? Tell your healer that. Does telling...

A big suggestion I'd give you that I don't think I've seen here is to watch other WAR clears of E2S. Figure out what they're doing and replicate it. E2S is (mostly) a static fight and WAR doesn't...

I mean, the jump function still isn't a thing in XI and it works just fine (as it's designed around not needing to jump). I'm personally a fan of minimaps, but you could easily make the argument that...

Just popping in to say that Tanaka did nothing wrong and was scapegoated by SE because they didn't want to give him enough time to actually finish the game so they outsourced it to China and, in...

The only way to really prevent WF groups from day 1/2/3-ing it is to gear gate, which (if we recall back to Gordias) nobody likes.

One day they'll just rename Bard to Ranger and be done with it.

This is a problem with Qarn's design. If, like in Toto-Rak, it was required that you get the items to actually summon the boss then you wouldn't have this issue. Obviously people that just want to...

1. We already had Raw Intuition.

2. A GCD heal + short duration mitigation + damage ability isn't the same as an oGCD short duration mitigation CD.

3. We could spam IB under IR for an increased...

Essentially DNC is behind the other two but not enough for it to matter.

Don't like what they did with Delita considering the actual ending to FFT. Other than that though it wasn't half bad.

How anyone still, to this day, can object to a personal DPS parser is beyond me. You guys know a personal DPS parser only tells you YOUR DPS right? Even if we put that aside though and say they added...

That's a very funny joke and everything, but virtually every other MMO has higher fidelity textures, models, post-processing, etc. If you at least can't admit that this game is in severe, desperate...

I can see where you're coming from, and I do agree that it being tied to the BG forces you to only use it as a gap closer (outside of IR). I think the problem, however, is that it adds absolutely...

*looks at tanks in ShB*

*looks at this post*

This doesn't add up.

There's this other FF MMO you should check out called FFXI.

I mean yeah, it is, but if we're honest it's not like the other Beast Gauge abilities are full of flavor to begin with. You press Upheavel on CD, you press FC whenever you can, and you press Decimate...

The easy solution is honestly just taking it off the Beast Gauge entirely.

I mean, the only situation you'd use Path in is on bosses... and the only damage that matters on bosses is tank busters and cleaves, which you won't be able to heal with just a 4-5k heal. The healing...

The bigger problem is actually Path, which is functionally useless outside of giving you 10 extra gauge. Not exactly the most exciting combo, is it? At least with Eye you get a good boost to your...

Tanking is a lot easier than people like to imagine it is. From the outside looking in it can definitely seem stressful, but when you've tanked something once you can do it a thousand times over with...

Confused by this, surely Tomahawk -> Infuriate -> Eye Combo -> IC -> Infuriate -> IC -> IR -> etc. is the ideal opener? Though I agree that needing to set up Eye in the first place is a bit...

Using the Trust system will teach you a fair bit, though a lot of the difficulty in tanking can be dealing with other players and adjusting accordingly. I think it's certainly fine to start out using...

Genuinely I don't know what situation people are finding themselves in that they're overcapping to begin with. I get preserving stacks for a TA window or whatever, but using Onslaught @ 100 will buy...

I agree that not every situation is the same, there's definitely nuance to be taken into account (as you said, how much is being pulled and how new the tank/healer is are big factors to take into...

Have never understood the mentality of "you pull it, you tank it". Yes, it's less efficient for DPS to pull - congratulations, you've earned yourself a pat on the back. Is it really the end of the...
