No sound or is it at my end?
I do thank you however for taking time and making these videos.
Wouldn't you know it Brayflox is actually my next Dungeon for storyline.
Though i now decided to switch to black mage so have about 6 more levels to go.
My PLD is level 40 but was mainly leveling to get the final Lightning Fate, lol

Hmm... there is audio on my end on the few pc's i tested it on after you said something, also no one else seemed to message me about audio issues.

I'm happy to make these videos and offer them up to the community members that could benefit from them. :)

Well if this forum had a rep point system i would send you some for sure :)

edit. checked video a few moments ago and audio is working :)

Glad it's working for you. :)

Hey Jon,

Im a main PLD with Ilvl 90 gear and exp through to turn 4 of coil.

I will try to post my set up but I started a thread for gamepad tips a while back that may be useful to newer players, Although I have no idea where it has gone.

Anyways a few tips

- always keep provoke and flash handy I would recommend somewhere on your right trigger bars.

- Have your major cool downs on the left trigger allong with anything that is generally off the GCD.

- on a second crossbar have longer cooldowns and procs like Sword oath and Shield oath, I keep these on a second x-bar on the left trigger along with my HG and LB so i dont accidently trigger them.

- On the second x-bar I usually put lesser CDs like foresight blood for blood fight or flight on the right trigger x,y,z etc.

I will post a screenshot at a later date

The most important tip is to stay consistent with your set up and memorize where your abilities are !

Thanks for the heads up! I'm choosing PLD as my job so I'm going to adapt to your settings and see how much they help. I only have sufficient tanking skills with the skills offered up to about 30 with the gladiator... which changes a little when you go PLD... thanks man... new videos up soon.
