Request for Utsusemi

[Xianghua]

I think this game is moving more toward the static camp as before. Here's why: Mages regain MP at a much faster rate when standing still; Movement will cancel casting; If you are in a Stronghold party without 50's to carry you, there is little need to roam as the respawn rate is so short; Mob concentration is very dense in many places; Many of the AoE Weaponskills are gone.

Exorcism Beans, Chakrams, Throwing Daggers.. all of those have a significantly less range to them compared to that of Archer and what I will assume will carry over into the Bowharp's range. Regarding Swiftsong, I imagine the sequence of pulling might go something like this: Utsusemi/Swiftsong > Buff group > Pull 4-5 mobs > Sleep > PLD Flash the group > PLD /ra 1 mob for the group > Group Defeats the mob > PLD pulls next /ra (Until group reduced to last) > Repeat.

As far as leashing, there are many spots where a group can stand and still pull from 2 or more immediate areas without having the mobs return. Just as in XI, there were key spots to camp in a group of target mobs - same here.

Thank you for not defaulting me as a troll and giving honest feedback to my suggestion.

You need to remember that right now XIV Exp revolves around AoE. Pulling mobs sleeping them is kinda pointless when you can just kill them all in less then a min. Any job can pull and you don't need shadows to do it. It will most likely still be better for tank to get on choco and aggro/run to camp. Pulling is really only needed in a game where you can only handle 1/2 mobs. Not in a game where you can handle an entire camp with ease.

First paragraph, last sentence. What do you get now when you have a slew of mobs to kill? - Every melee fighting his own mob and fights taking too long because they haven't realized that AoE Weaponskills don't play a key role in battle anymore; At least not through the grind levels.

How are you going to sleep them? With that black mage spell that is most likely level 50? Why do you need shadows when you can get to and from mobs to camp on choco without even losing stoneskin? Utsu will do nothing that can't already be done in game.

With sleep songs? Sleep arrows? AoE Sleep songs? AoE Sleep arrows? Your third question has already been answered, but I'll say it again: Too many times I've seen some random single party member jump on a Choco, ride headlong to a distant group of mobs and only bring back 1-3. This after some time had passed as they tried in vain to trigger sight aggro, only to get their Choco maimed and make it back far too slowly. This given that you're fighting mobs that do aggro.

We have no sleep songs/arrows? People being Idiots and not knowing how to pull isn't a valid reason for needing ustu.

I must have missed it - where is the list of Bard actions and why isn't sleep in it!? What I'm saying is, is a Chocobo is not really designed to pull monsters. Mostly because it can be maimed and slowed, further adding to the time it has taken for the person that would be pulling (Gladiator) who is absolutely the last person I would choose to pull for me, as he is bound to the current mob.

Stanislaw mentioned earlier that he loved meripo on BRD. You know why that is? Because he could pull non-stop and watch the EXP flow. It was mean, fast, and most of all controlled.

Yes i was brd on XI but it was a completely different style of leveling and battle. You don't need a choco to pull just like you don't need utsu to pull. It just makes it easier.

One thing to note if you have an puller then your party is alrdy failing cause staying together = more links and more exp having one person do solo pulling is just stupid anyway so this argument is pretty much moot.
