Thread: Ooh... new patch notes! ... Wait...

So, new patch time... Final Coil of Bahamut gets sent to the cesspool that is duty finder.

Cool, so can I now gear my character with Poetics stuff, to get my item level up...?

... No? Oh, okay...

... I haven't even beaten Raffelesia yet... Mainly for story...

C'mon, let me get all my ironworks gear!

Uh huh, you know if duty finder is such a cesspool for you the option remains not to use it. They haven't taken that away from you.
Though in my opinion, doing any coil on duty finder is like juggling grenades. It only takes one live one to ruin your whole day.

Still, options are options. Even if they're not good ones.

Well, go beat Rafflesia then. That should be perfectly doable nowadays. If you were stuck in t5 or t9 I'd understand the frustration because the mechanics of those two make them an endless pain if not everyone knows what they're doing, but t6 isn't so hard to learn. Have the group deciding what to do when the yellow stuff pops up above someone - if either only that person or everybody else moves behind Rafflesia - hit ESC or stop attacking and moving manually when Blighted Bouquet is being cast, and make sure to kill the Bulb if it spawns in the middle. After that it's just an easy DPS race while one tank gets the snails on him and the other tank holds Rafflesia and the DPS spank her.

I, for one, am very happy for this change and would actually prefer if new raids were put in DF from the very start, just without the echo. Finding a group is often enough a worse pain than trying to learn the fight, and while DF may give you bad people, it may also give you good ones. It sure beats sitting in PF for ages to get the same result.

They're complaining that Poetics wasn't uncapped, I guess?

I dunno why people keep expecting that to happen.

Yes you can gear your character with Poetics. Nothing has been stopping this from happening at all. Sure you have to do it slowly like everyone else, but it's still viable. Also, since Heavensward is still a few months out, there is plenty of time to do this.

Because it makes sense to have the possibility to BiS-equip all classes until Expansion comes. I'd like to have at least a 130 magitek weapon for all classes which is not possible right now.

I get why people want it, but why would they expect it? We've never had 2 unlocked currencies at the same time, even at the release of 2.0. Based on past history, I wouldn't expect Poetics to be unlocked until the expansion.
