The broken FFXIV Holy trinity

[xenowind]

Just done my 5th zeta, actually the balance is good, enjoying speed runs, else I can't farm so much like this. From my experience in duty finders, as a tank, if I see a ninja can do Kassatu->Doton, I will speed run not for myself, but for you. That's how a tank to show respect to good dps. As a healer, particularly whm, I can out dps most players on mobs, and keep everyone healthy, that's just normal, but sometimes there are peoples will say"wow, you are impressive, healer." And that's what makes me feel good. ) Through experience, it's getting easy to differentiate what job combinations and players' ilv can do what type of runs, but don't expect to meet old bird every time, they are rare in duty finder.

Yes, the game would be doing fine if they never nerfed that content. All they needed to do for Pharos Sirius was have it drop i70 gear and bam, reward for the challenge met (and even then, you just needed to have a good healer. First boss did require DPS to slow down and switch to adds). Amdapor Keep could keep its original loot pool of i60 stuff, which would mean Demon Wall could keep its bugs (the ONLY challenging part of the dungeon. Not the wall, but the bugs). Steps, I've finally gotten over the nerf (the issue was the players, though), but Thornmarch... that still rubs me the wrong way. Yeah, it was a part of the MSQ, but it also dropped i70 weapons. It was between Garuda and Titan HM when it came to challenge, so it fit.

SE need to cater to people who know how to use their brain. Not to those who expect others to carry them.

Healing is a bit over the top at of this moment. Not sure how the expansion gear reset will handle healing but since the second coils of bahamut healing has shifted from being the hardest job to argued the easiest job. The ability to quickly get people up after a round of aoe and burst healing has significantly gone up with gearflation. Overall healing potency seems a bit high since most healers hit I level 90+ over a year ago. It least healing is newbie friendly now and with 3 healers in the game they may start to disproportionately be more then 25% of the overall playerbase with the normal paradigm of 1 healer, 1 tank and 2 dps. Id say more along the line of 35%-40% of people will main healers since its now the easiest of the covered roles in ff 14 now. Tanks will still be a huge issue now and with complexity being cranked up a bit for dps its no wonder so many people are changing mains to a healer now.

You're suffering from being full i130(maybe level synced to i110) while doing old content.


Nothing needs to be changed, you're just stupidly over geared for the dungeon you're running.
If you CAN'T hold hate even if you're decked out, then sorry you're just derpy.
No, you're not skilled at all if you're complaining about something little like this.



also, this is FFXIV, not FFXI. Jeez.

I used to be against the idea of grabbing all the trash mobs, but now I just don't care. Trash is trash. Boss fights, though... those need to be a little more complex than just "tank and spank and maybe deal with a mechanic. Otherwise ignore mechanic" (remember when doors in Diabolos were required to be opened? Me neither).

Some of us like dungeons that take more than 15 minutes to clear.

When I left wow, I'd hoped I'd left that stain of a design behind.

Pull to boss, aoe. Repeat.

Can people stop bumping this so the devs can look at the posts that ACTUALLY matter.

But... But you just bumped it. Almost an hour after the last reply.

And now I'm bumping it, too!

AND IF SOMEONE ELSE POSTS IN RESPONSE TO ME, THEY'LL BE BUMPING IT TOO.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE MAN?

Honestly? I say wait until HW before talking about how facerollingly easy content is. Something tells me it won't be as easy in 3.0.

the whole dungeon design is poor imo. Other games offer more choices, also evading mobs, or triggering certain elements, so far in arr its TRASH TRASH TRASH, Boss, TRASH TRASHetc. boss....
that is many step backwards in terms of gamedesign to me. Lazy boring and with no replay value. so if they keep it like that, PLEASE DONT MAKE THE TRASH HARDER TO KILL. that would mean, longer ... boredeom.

Im all for more creativity in dungeons, more options that encourage also more single target dps and maybe more CC tactics.
Also i cannot see the AOE madness anymore. Literally every stupid mob is an aoe or cone spamming mob.... booooring.

Maybe more randomly generated areas/mobs and mob placements would help as well. it really baffles me that they only took the FFXI mobdesign (almost unchanged with a tad better graphic) but didnt copy the positive elements it had (i said positive elements, so don't start the typical ffxi rant please).
