Super General Discussion 2.0 - Always offering a happy, fun time~!

Glad to see this thread again! :'3 Thank you, Mods!

I wonder if a Bard could answer me a question? Tried some HM runs last weekend (Ifrit is a piece of cake compared to Garuda) and once in a while we had a Bard with us but.. Are songs useless now? They never casted a song and I wonder why o.o?

During a Garuda run someone basically said to me: "Filthy AF."
That made me sad and angry the same time. I still remember how I got it and it felt great and now people tell you this :<

Song's are good when you get into longer or more intense fights (I had a Garuda where we killed 6 sets of sister pop~! omgosh!)
White mages benefit from mage song often because they have no MP regeneration ability (Breaking my immersion since I should be able to 'draw from nature' D
And when you are in a longer fight either grouped or solo you can get a TP boost by singing to yourself hehe

I have not played BRD often enough to think of other uses atm <3

I haven't played WHM in any serious manner in ARR at high levels yet, but doesn't Shroud of Saints grant a refresh effect? Is it just not very effective?

Also, Hi e'erybody! Haven't been to the forums in a long time, my free time has been a bit scattered lately. While I'm here I'll answer a couple of the questions floating around.

Biggest achievement?
Hmm... not sure. I was glad to finally get miner marathoned from 38 to 50 in one go with a full stack of 100 levequests. I'm not actually done with the MSQ yet, so I haven't even started the real end game content yet (I'm close though, at Cape Westwind!).

Fav spot in Eorzea?
All of it is beautiful, and so for me, this actually really comes down in large part to the music. I absolutely love the calming song of Raincatcher Gully, and pretty much all the Thanalan areas. Which brings me to a question I will pose to everyone else:

What's your favorite new zone music in ARR?

Castrum Centri music has to be my favorite.

I think it was very sweet of you and C'rysta to go looking for me. I felt loved. Also, a little jealous (I saw the way you were with one another!). In fact, I think I am much too short for this relationship. And I can't have kitties. But I'll adopt kitties. If you'd like me to.


*hug*



Let's go home. I think I saw a dragon over there with our names on it.

As Hiir said, you are never too short! *hugs Hesty and goes home with him*

Been busy building up my FC members for endgame, tried keeping this thread alive but the mods do not believe in the power of love. D:

The Praetorium. I love the piano bit.

To add to what others have already said...
Songs are situational. If you're spamming TP-expensive AOEs, then Paeon can be a handy boost. Likewise if your healers are starting to panic, you can give them a bit of relief with the Ballad.
The real trick with with songs is knowing when to stop singing. If you just let your MP deplete to zero, you've probably cut your damage output by more than you needed to.

Also, if you have black mages and summoners in your party, try playing Foe's Requiem when people are trying to go all out. That song doesn't cut your own damage output, plus boosts the damage output of the mages. Just remember to time it right.
eg: Titan's Heart.
