Worry about DPS when you actually wipe to hard enrage or a DPS check.

STR is not necessary to keep hate. It's only desired because excess VIT is useless.

Spirit of the OP is in the right place for the wrong reason.

There is literally no reason to use Lightspeed solely for Gravity.

If Dark Dance is unreliable, so is shield blocking. DRK is in a fine place.

Physical meta doesn't fix PLD. It will just highlight how unreliable Sheltron is in practice. Not to mention WAR will gain Raw Intuition and DRK will gain Dark Dance, Reprisal, and Low Blow procs....

No offense intended but you're taking a really ignorant view of how PLD and tanks in general work, both on their own and in relation to a healer's DPS. If it was as simple as popping cooldowns more...

The intent is stupid and contradictory to the raid meta. Which is what jobs are/shouldbe balanced around. Because they sure aren't tweaked just because of casual content.

You don't need 100% uptime. You described the exact situation that it actually matters to have it up for: tankbusters. Any other uptime is great but not required.

If "good discussion" equates to "having the same 2-3 discussions in 100 topics for 2 years", then yeah there is plenty of good discussion.

It doesn't really matter what the dev team intends. It matters what they allow because this is what sets the limit for how players shape the meta. And they have allowed STR or meldaccessory meta for...

I thought you would be comfortable with the concept of putting words in someone else's mouth.

Guy never said "never use Quelling". You seem to have heard it that way anyways though.

Hyperbole is a hell of a thing. I too like latching onto one word to prove my words have weight.

1) Hate generation has never been a tank problem.
2) DPS doing more DPS doesn't make healer/tank DPS less important.

Tankbusters don't even mess with tank DPS. You DPS just by doing your job in...

Because people who try and fail, try without understanding, or are just idiots in general are representative of all or even the majority.

Too much groupthink, parroting, and "I've never had a good...

Kid in a wheelchair isn't "competing" with Kenyans for a sprint.

We already have parsers, a "set rotation", and kick people from groups for doing dramatically (not 50) lower DPS (though the problem of doing worse DPS is usually rooted in bad play and awareness...

Signed.



A job that is perfectly fine and thrives in the current raid meta needs work. Ok.

Ifrit readies Eruption.
^ This is a weaponskill.

The gorgimera begins casting The Ram's Voice.
^ This is a spell.

Any "friends" capable of helping you get your stuff faster are going to have stuff they want made for themselves with their time-limited tomes.

Weekly caps hurt people with limited playtimes too. I don't know why people pretend it's a "punishment" for people who can play more.

Or you can wait another 2-4 weeks, get the 190 Alex body, and not waste your first tomes on a marginal upgrade.

Also "a little extra VIT" is basically nothing.

You are severely overestimating how much of a defensive boost the body will be.

4-man: competent people.
8-man: competent people.

Dream team for 8-man would be like WAR DRK SCH WHM* NIN DRG SMN MCH, which is my static's comp. High burst opener (Trick+Litany+Hypercharge)....

Parsers are a diagnosis tool. You don't need one to see a bad DPS, but it adds confirmation.

Generally the only people who will publicly complain about low DPS in DF, without taking factors into...

Morale does function in ilvl sync. It is giving you small amounts of a gear slot's uncapped secondary.
