watching a 1 minute cooldown on your bar is totally different than watching a 15 second buff count down. in order to maximize dreadwyrm you want to use deathflare right as it expires, which is lame as hell
I think dreadwyrm stance looks stupid as hell. now you need 3 different keybinds just for ruin, which is a lame skill anyway, and you have to watch the duration of the stance to use the deathflare right before it ends. if there's one thing I despise it's watching a buff bar because now instead of watching the game you're looking at fucking buffs counting down. how fun.
My biggest problem with Summoner is being stupid enough to play with a controller. There are just too many goddamned buttons.

Perhaps at first, but once you figure out how many casts you can get in during that time you don't need to watch it, you just know when you'll cast Deathflare.

Figuring out the new dragoon rotation will be interesting...
Yeah I'm interested to find out how it all feels with Blood of the Dragon.
I've been doing some theorycrafting, but ultimately I don't have enough information. Key questions/comments:
Do Wheeling Thrust/Fang and Claw consume Enhanced WT/Sharper FaC? If not, your combos seem to go A-B-C-<BotD>-D-D-D-D-<Geirskogul>
Blood of the Dragon buffs your jumps, but you lose it if you use any weaponskill other than Chaos/Full thrust, so it's primary use seems to be the combo extender (even though the D skills don't actually have combo action)
Because BotD needs to happen right before Full Thrust to get Enhanced Wheeling Thrust, that means you've either got to choose between it and Life Surge or try to cram the two off-GCDs in one 2.5s space.
I don't get the point of Wheeling Thrust/Fang and Claw extending Blood of the Dragon, except...
Wait. You have to have BotD up when you use Chaos/Full Thrust. But it ends if you use any weaponskill other than Fang and Claw/Wheeling Thrust. That's super confusing.
Yeah, we're just going to have to play it and see how it actually works. There's not enough info.

I think the tooltip for Blood of the Dragon is just confusing
You don't lose BotD upon using a non Wheeling or Fang and Claw WS, you lose the "Enhanced Wheeling Thrust" and "Sharper Fang and Claw" effect upon using a different WS
Edit:Also I think you're going to want to weave them into your rotation even if you can get them active and just spam them because Chaos Thrust is still your strongest attack and you're going to want to keep Heavy Thrust active. I feel like rather than spam them, the goal will be to rotate them in just to keep BotD up.
OMG the FF melody is moving me! I WANT TO PLAY GAME!
What server should I play in?
We're on Sargatanas. Also, if you decide to get the game, lemme know before you pay for game time and I'll send you a Refer a Friend code, which'll net you a headpiece which gives you bonus xp up to level 25 on all your classes, some tokens for free teleports, and a fistbump emote.

Ran the benchmark finally. Maximum preset, 2560x1440, DirectX 11. Score was 7509 on an i7-4790K w/ GTX 980. I had a couple of spots during the 24 man bench where it would drop to ~35 FPS, which still looked fine because of G-Sync, but I'll probably tweak the graphics settings down a touch from the maximum preset to keep me closer to 40-45 in large group scenarios.
I just to let you all know that I watched Jurassic World to kill time until the servers come up - it was literally the funniest thing I've watched this year. I am now in the proper mindset for the new content.

Well, this is awesome. Suddenly lost power, except most of my neighbors have power. I can see one other house with flashlights out, but every other house has at least their outside lights on.

Talk about really bad luck
Did you blow a breaker or something?
Nope, was something wrong with the pole right outside my house. They just got finished getting it back on so whew, no more crisis!

Couldn't sleep last night, unrelated to waiting for servers to come up. Wondering if I should go to work today.
...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
So I've been looking to scratch an MMO itch and apparently this game is pretty good. Although I obviously shouldn't have picked expansion night to try and start a character :P . If anyone wants to do the RAF thing just send me a PM and I'm sure I'll be sending someone a tell to join the guild today or tomorrow.

Passed out at 9, woke up at 1 -- MST, so that's 8 and 12 for you lucky people not living in Unlimited Potato Works. Killing time with FFRK.
Here's fun: Amazon still hasn't let me have my code. They'll give it to me at 2 AM PST. Which means I'll get my code just in time for the Mogstation to shit itself from the load.

I preordered the CE on June 6th and still have not received a code.

but when i rush gathering, there will be an ENORMOUS reward, let me tell you
i was looking at my screenshots, and i realized i started playing on june 19th, 2014.
it's... my anniversary?
edit: i took like a 4 month hiatus over the winter, but still, it's a strange feeling.
I am beyond excited. I'm going to try and play some 3ds but I just keep checking to make sure it's not up early.
