What the heck is "greased lightning"?

[Super_Bee_Brian]

I'm excited to obtain the tornado kick skill. To perform tornado kick, I must attain greased lightning 3. I don't even know what greased lightning 1 is. What the heck is greased lightning and how do I attain it?

Thanks.

See Lightning gauge

Greased Lightning is accumulated by executing certain weapon skills and improves attack speed and damage dealt.

This guy has been trolling the forums all week pretending not to know even basic job functions. Last one he made was about how to Gladiator and didn't even have a tank unlocked.

It's a monk expletive, most often heard between pulls or in certain stages of boss fights.

(Seriously, though, what he said ^. It acts a lot like Ninja's huten, only it doesn't last as long. You gain it as you progress through your forms.)

“Greased Lightning” is a song from the musical, Grease. 8D

I’m joking~. In all seriousness, Greased Lightning are the stacks you get when you successfully perform combos on MNK. At level 60, you can earn up to 3 Greased Lightning stacks. The stacks used to show up on your Enhancements/Buffs bar, but now they have been incorporated into the Job Gauge UI.



When the lightning bolts light up, that means you have a stack of Greased Lightning. Your character also has a green effect that surrounds them, and it grows brighter as you get more stacks.

Your combos grant you Greased Lightning. Successfully finishing a combo with your third combo skill, be it with Demolish, Snap Punch, or Rockbreaker will give you a stack. You can also use Perfect Balance to use your third combo skill outside of a combo.

Wtf. My tank is my alt.

Bro, please, I'm not in the mood to be antagonized.

I have to give the OP kudos for getting so many people to fail for so much obvious trolling.

Good Lord this is De Ja Vu.

If you're legitimately not trolling, I have some quick advice for you.

Take about 25-30 minutes, and read all your tooltips for any jobs you wish to play. Read them, and understand them. Then, if that isn't sufficient, Google "XXX job guide FF14" and you'll get something for every job that at least teaches the basics.
