questions regarding playing normal content with 150 ms ping .

so i play the game from pakistan to european servers and i get ping around 120-135 ms ping .
i am only interested in doing normal dungeon and raid content on different jobs .i wont be doing extreme or further hard content .
my question is will i be okay playing any jobs in such content with such ping ? i dont plan on using any illegal third stuff so kindly dont suggest that

I play on US servers from UK with similar pings and have never had any issues. The only times it is noticeable are some raids and dungeon fights where enemy moves can sometimes clip you even when you're sure you moved out of the marked area in time. You get used to it and start to learn to move that little bit quicker, but aside from that it's totally playable. Not sure how it would be if you tried stuff like Savage/Extremes, but I tend to avoid that anyway.

thats perfect then as i am not planning doing savage /extremes either .cant be bothered .

This ping is fine. You can actually still clear all of the high-end raids just fine with this ping. (I actually disagree that hits clip you after moving out at this ping.)

It does affect weaving, which is where you press an Ability while a Spell or Weaponskill is on cooldown. These trigger the Global Cooldown (GCD), leaving time to press Abilities. The difficulty happens when trying to fit in 2 Abilities, because the ping delays this a lot. It's still possible at that ping, just annoying sometimes.

It won't affect you really on Conjurer / White Mage because it's not an ability-heavy job, but may a bit on others. It won't prevent you clearing anything though as I said.

However, you may notice it if you try to use Swiftcast immediately prior to Raise, where the game won't acknowledge the instant cast buff and spend ages casting. You can also notice the effects of ping more in PvP and Chocobo Racing, but a lot of people avoid these anyway.
