I mean, you only get one item per trial so why would that take 16 hours?

There will be breaks in between obviously.
But so we can clear before the weekend. Ideally late Wed or thurs. Friday at the latest.
Also 16 hours isn't that bad. World race groups normally do closer to 20

I'm not talking about normal raids I'm doing savage prog. Also savage loot is locked to one instance a week but you can get more than one time per instance.

I actually vastly prefer it to most games combat. The hack and slash combat of most action mmo's isn't me. I like hotbars.

Oh nice good luck in prog. Whatre you playing? I'm probably going rpr was switching between that and sam but rpr is a bit stronger and easier to play in prog. Plus it has a free regen. And I like both so it's not like I'm compromising anything.

I've tried a bunch of mmos. But the tab targeting ones are always what sticks for me. Though I've played ffxiv more than any other mmo combined.

I have been playing OSRS as a side game lately though. Got fire cape and barrows gloves recently. It's a nice distraction when. I don't have much else.kinda want to go for inferno cape but that's a ways out.

That's pretty cool! I'm a CE raider in wow, currently trying to make the switch to ffxiv because I am beyond tired of daily chores and blizzard's bs.

Getting through the MSQ is perhaps the biggest chore of them all, though, lol. And the whole snapshotting raid mechanics thing is probably gonna take me way too long to figure out. Constantly taking damage from things 2 seconds after the animation disappears even though I'm halfway across the room by then. I just can never tell when I'm supposed to be out, in wow you just get out before the animation ends and you're good. I guess it's all just trial and error?

Anyways, FFXIV is better in literally every way though, and the devs don't seem interested in keeping me running on a hamster wheel like Blizz do. I'm pretty motivated to stick it out and hopefully I can find myself back progging on the hardest content in the game, only in one more focused on me having fun than pumping the daily active user metrics.

I use to play wow. In fact while waiting for EW I leveled a couple classes in wow to try it out again. But I never stuck with it. I did find the amount of dailies annoying though. I've always been interested in the raid scene of WOW after getting into FFXIV so congrats on the CE that's pretty cool.

Also for the vast majority if ffxiv mechanics they snapshot at castbar not animation. Because of this you can generally dodge them right as the cast bar ends then go back in and look like you're standing in the animation while not being hit. There are some mechanjca that don't have casters but those are not normally snapshot based mechanics.

FFXIV is fun though. The initial MSQ grind is rough especially if you're not as invested in the story, but I enjoy the endgame and think it's worth it. I actually watch cutscenes outside of savage patches. (Those I'll watch on a alt.) But even I got tired of the grind. Leveling my alt for alt splits took a entire day just to finish EW and that was skipping everything.

If you ever have any ff raid questions or class questions feel free to ask. Can dm me on here or whatever.

Godspeed on your raids, killer.

Im constantly tempted to give FF14 another shot. Ive tried a few times but never made it past ~30 or so.

How hard would it be to pick up tanking as a first timer? Or is it recommended to go dps first?

Yep.

I started playing a few months ago and I tank. It's not that hard, the game does a good job of easing you into getting the basics of stuff. Once you get to level 60 or so though you have a lot more skills so you need to start rotating through them effectively and you gotta learn how to tank properly to not die. The number 1 rule I've learned is if your healer is spending too much time healing you then you're not tanking properly. I just started Stormblood and I heard the difficulty in the game gets a big jump.

I watched on twitch earlier and was like "uhhhh I don't get what this fire ice lightning mechanic is but I know they have to do math to resolve the last part?" Though that was only like 35 minutes after the game was back up.

Generally speaking, as long as you move out of the orange before the cast finishes you are good, but certain mechs are delayed or will continue to do damage throughout the animation, rather than once the cast ends.
