Yeah there's no class that's nonviable. Every class can clear anything. It's just some classes are more desirable than others.

If you want esoteric but vital support roles, FFXI is still kicking. Every party pretty much needs a corsair (role the dice for different magnitudes on buffs), bard (song buffs), and geomancer (buffs/debuffs specific stats by proximity) in the current meta. And while they might open skillchains, pull/debuff mobs, etc, their damage doesn't actually matter too much.

That's the only reason I ask

If you're coming from XI to XIV expecting it to be like XI, well, that was XIV 1.0 and it flopped so bad the entire game almost just died right then and there. The game director was recently asked if there were going to be 1.0 legacy servers and he died laughing at the question.

I play both pretty casually and they're both fun in their own ways. Neither is that comparable to the other, as both are products of different times.

Yeah I'm all capped and ready on poetics, mendacity and I still need to do like 1 dungeon run for Genesis. I know there's still a week to farm, but I'm gonna be busy all week, so better to do it now.

And yeah I think the Omega gear sets look fine. But for the highest set of raid weapons, they look a bit basic. Idk.

Actually, Creator weapons I didn't care for either.

I wish they had given out StB for free, at least for those of us who have it on one system already and want to play on another. I still need to level and gear Lyra on some things, and get her caught up on the story (she'd just beat the moon rabbit, iirc). I also need to finish capping Genesis on Aster, as I mentioned already.

I've done the level 73 dungeon. I can fly in one zone, and I'm fairly certain I'm getting close to unlocking flying in another.

I'm loving it so far! Dungeons feel weird. Some of my FC-mates are talking about things in like the 76-78 range, and I'm just like "spoilers much?".

I really am taking my sweet time with this lol

Edit: Oh also, there's a solo instance at level 72. I was stuck in a queue, looking at a black screen for well over an hour. >_> I appreciate the queues for solo instances, but fucking seriously Yoshi. I would have loved to use that time to grind FATEs or level a gatherer or something. Nope!

I'm at 77 now. The plot is getting VERY good.

Scholar changes feel horrible in dungeons but great in trials/raids. It's REALLY stupid that with 4+ enemies, your strategy is spam aoe for a few casts then sit there doing nothing because you can't sustain aoe spam. Doing absolutely nothing is not a fun playstyle, especially with how lengthy GCDs are in this game. There should always be a productive way to spend your GCD, but if Art of War will do 600+ potency, you're running low on mana, and you still have oGCDs to cover tank healing.... the most productive thing you can do is sit there and aoe once every 10 seconds. :/

Also, fairy AI is kind of dumb in that she will always heal the lowest HP party member... not lowest HP percentage party member. So during raidwide damage I I pop Whispering Dawn for, she will continue embracing them until all DPS are topped off, even if the rest of WD would have topped them off. Tank at 40% HP but some aoe tickle goes off? Fairy will be occupied for at least 10 seconds untickling them.

lmao Yeah I'm not a healer main, but all my FC-mates are telling me playing on SCH and AST is fucked. And queues times reflect that. I think for the first time in MMO history, the playerbase is a majority of tanks. And I will gladly take fast DPS queues. But I'm positive the devs will hear the outcry from healer players and do something. DRG was completely screwed at SB's launch, and they did fix it relatively quickly.

Also level 74, did the first trial last night. First pull tanks didn't aggro one of the adds for some fucking reason, and they just sat there while one of the adds killed everyone else. Second pull we failed the dps check at the second set of adds (yes, really XD they yelled at me to use the LB3 at that part afterward. I was like "well we have 3 ranged, and 3 adds, but sure why not I'll do it.") Third time we cleared. I think I was the only one to pick up on having to stand in the water for the split damage. >_>

Also Nu Mou! I wants a minion of one. Somebody said Clan Nutsy has a Nu Mou minion for 800 nuts? I hope that's true.

Oh and I got High Jump on DRG last night. The animation is seriously INSTANT. You're up and down in a blink of an eye. But, it has really weird animation lock on it. You can't do anything for a long while after you come back down. I think it's actually the same length as Jump, but you don't notice it as much on Jump because you're in the air longer. I'll get used to it. Or they'll reduce the animation lock, and maybe you can double weave with it then.

One of the three adds can't be tanked, I think. Maybe they just picked the wrong 2 to pick up.

Oh, weird. So kinda like Niddy I guess. But the other pulls didn't have that problem...

Also, I'm so glad that the final boss is still a complete mystery to me. All throughout Stormblood, provided you didn't use a level skip, you knew that you were going to fight Shinryu. I'm level 76, just did the level 75 dungeon. Emet-Selch spun a VERY interesting story. I don't doubt that some parts of his story are true, but he didn't go into enough detail about what Zodiark did that warranted the people to summon Hydaelyn. And I've always suspected for years that at some point we're going to fight Hydaelyn, and it seems that they're starting to set that up? We'll see where this goes.

Also... I don't THINK this is going to be the final boss, but I'm fairly certain one of the dungeon bosses will be Zorn and Thorn. I'm fairly certain that's who the two jester girls are in Eulmore. If I'm right or wrong please don't tell me.

Also, there was a story moment that I really wasn't a fan of. When Y'Shtola sacrificed herself to get the antidote, and she sent herself back to the lifestream, then 5 minutes later Emet-Selch brings her back from the lifestream. 1)She's already been brought back from the lifestream once already. And it just felt cheap that she got brought back so soon. 2)Were we not told that being exposed to the lifestream is basically a death sentence? So Y'Shtola was kind of already waiting to die from that, and now I guess she's going to die twice as fast, whenever the hell that's going to be? How many times is she going to die and come back? Idk, I was really liking the story so far, but that moment was just... blegh.

They'll keep doing it until Y'shtola stops making SE money. She is literally a hot commodity, and teasing her demise at least once per expansion is among the few things SE knows how to do.

Didn't get to progress nearly as much as I wanted to today because all day I had to keep telling people in my FC to stop fucking spoiling things. At one point somebody was like "okay I'm gonna complain about the first dungeon story because it's stupid" and I told them "don't say another word for the people that haven't seen it yet. yes, there are some people in the FC that aren't that far yet, please respect that". It fucking turned into World War 3. Feelings were hurt. People were kicked. The immediately after all that shit someone that has cleared the final boss started talking about end game stuff.

Needless to say, I'm in a sour mood after all of that.

At least I got through the level 77 dungeon!

It's the first expansion after A Realm Reborn. The inter-expansion story leading up to it is long and tedious. But if you can make it to Heavensward, you're in for a real treat. It's everyone's favorite expansion for a reason.
