How are you prepping for Samurai/Redmage?

[Neela]

Surprised to see so many people getting gear that won't matter if you do POTD which will be the fastest way to level the two jobs.

im suprised that people will waste the chance to explore the potentials of truly new cls' by POTD grinding... sad really, really sad... : /

edit: just waiting for the first "How to rota" thread request ^^

I am:
- obviously theorizing glamours, because I'm not a monster

already did that as well x'D

especially for SAM... Sephiroth, Auron, Raiden, 2B/A2.... oh and for sure getting a fantasia becoming a Miqo again: Inuyasha cosplay <3

I guess you like spending forever from 50-60 lol

Some people are like that, much like preparing for either of these jobs when you have no idea if you're going to like it or not. From the way it seems is that you could easily have the gear needed for 50 if you just...play, spend that currency on level 50 gear. Me, I've realized there's no point in rushing. Worlds first, all that..means very little.

Still, I really want to see what these jobs are like. Currently I am not a giant fan of most of the DPS because of the way their rotations are, so I stick with Summoner. I guess we may have to wait until May to find out?

i'm getting gear because it's actually fun to do the dungeons (potd is nice but gets monotonous) and I have some friends to play with so I wont have to worry much about queues.

I've capped SMN and almost full ilv270. For lv 50 I'm full augmented ironworks and saving poetics to but ironworks RDM weapon, and stocking scripture to but shire weapon and augment it. Gonna get some squadron XP bônus and then Go to work lol

[Neela]

i have a static, fc and very active linkshells - but aside off this there is another reason:

for me this is a game not a sport - I like exploring and even failing on my own, learning by myself instead of reading guides in the first way and most important I wanna enjoy new updates instead of mindless boring grind because the grind will find you anyway sooner or later if you wanna max out/main a new cls. thats why ^^

but yeah have fun in potd if it's the way you enjoy the game : )

Main reason people will be doing Palace is because, and we do not know for 100% certainty but Queue times will most likely be worst then they are currently for dps.
So the current 1hr wait (even Expert roulette at times) may even be longer...
Heck yesterday was helping a friend who has returned to the game get his Sohm Al HM clear, we had 2 dps and a heal, waited over 20 mins for a tank.. so i guess players are not tanking as much either? Not sure

the current 1hr wait (even Expert roulette at times) may even be longer...

what datacenter is this? i'm on primal and i've never had to ever wait for 1 hour for any role, in any content at any point in the game o.o i mean, outside of maybe previous expansion 24 man content at the time nobody was running it at all. that's terrifying.

[Aquaslash]

I'm all set. I just farmed Creator Savage into oblivion and have the whole monk left side ready and 8 pages for the Katana. I've got most of the mats saved up to make and buy all of the primal weapons as well. I main DRG so the right side was taken care of forever ago

I'm willing to spend longer getting to 60 for the sake of my sanity. PotD is okay but I can only take 20-30 floors before I get bored as hell. Even fate/leve spam is more interesting to me. Plus I can do these things while queued for dungeons which will give me a better feel for the classes.

Plus I'm not really going out of my way to farm Ironworks, I'm just doing 50 roulette 5ish days a week and I've actually already got a full i120 striking set and most of the upgrade items (plus the items for the ironworks weapon) so finishing that and getting a casting set before SB should be a cinch.
