Thank you all for the feedback regarding the acquisition rate of red scrips. Among the various feedback we've been collecting regarding red scrips, we're also aware that players feel that the amount of red gatherers' and crafters' scrips earned is too low which leads to the amount of work to obtain them higher than it should be.
We're planning to make adjustments in next week's hotfix, so please hang in there a bit longer.

What does warrior tanking rotations look like at 50+? I'm assuming that multi-target is mostly just spamming Overpower/Flash until you've got a hold then using defensive cooldowns as necessary, how does single target play out? I'm doing something kinda like this in the low 30s:
HS-Maim-Fracture(-HS-SS-BB, repeat until when Maim nearly drops then reapply)
It looks like I'll need to fit in Storm's Path and Storm's Eye in a bit... does anything drop out of rotation to fit the new skills? Do the various Warrior abilities only usable while infuriated serve to break up the rotation? Right now I feel like all the combo moves make the rotations really rigid, since dropping a Heavy Swing will commit me for 3 GCDs once I can chain Maim into Path/Eye.
I'm the opposite in regards to Flash usage. I'd prefer using Flash over Overpower depending on the mob cluster positioning because I want to hold onto my TP and preserve my combo chains. AoE threat is generally only important at the start of pulls or when adds arrive. Once things stabilize, you generally don't need any more AoE threat since you can either rotate targets or everything else is dead so holding onto TP is desired because everything is powered off it. It all depends on the situation though. If I know I will need to pick up a lot of adds, I'll mix both. Overpower to set, combo state permitting; Flash to tag.
If you see the threat gauge on your target has the next person sitting at like 20% of your threat, you don't need to spend SS or BBs on it. Pick another target for the hit then swap back. Conserve your GCDs and your resources just out of habit. Unchained is worth a 43% increase in damage since it negates the damage penalty of Defiance. Berserk is a 50% increase in damage, so combining both is increasing your damage (and threat generation) by 2.14x compared to base levels. Berserk is good. Use it often and don't be afraid of the pacify. You still have Flash to pick up adds if needs be.
The Infuriate abilities (Inner Beast/Steel Cyclone) should be used as they come available unless you need to hold them for a special purpose (not likely outside leading edge 8 man content). It's a notional 23s between uses (8 GCDs to prep, one to execute) which is faster than any tank buster reuse timer and if there is one that's faster, there's probably a trick behind it or a tank swap mechanic.
Storm's Path/Eye are the finishers to the Maim chain. You generally get 2 BBs per Maim combo so it's a decision if you want more damage, or more mitigation. The BB chain will do more potency than any of the Maim combos, assuming Eye or another slashing resist debuff is up. And yes, the combo system does impose a lock in. That's why Flash is important. Being a non-weaponskill it will not break combos. And that's also why you need to consider if you want to hold off on hitting the next ability on GCD or wait a little bit, or even break it entirely because oh-crap-I-forgot-something-important.
Fracture is probably the first thing I'll drop if I need to drop something. Yeah, it has good potency per GCD, but the TP cost can bit draining and from memory the advantage in maintaining Fracture in terms of damage done is rather minor. That said, Fracture when you have lots of damage buffs running.
Thanks! I'm still a ways away from a lot of these skills, but this gives me a good picture of what WAR looks like at endgame. In particular it sounds like having something to do while infuriated will mean a lot... right now all I can do is just kind of stack wrath and sit on the bonus parry.
Holy crap. So I just ran the allag 60 dungeon. That must have been horrible with everyone in 145/148 gear.
You must have had a horrible group. The first one I ever did, as the tank, everyone was in around 148s and the only time we wiped, or even really had trouble, was the room with the chimera that bursts out of the tank.
It's harder then Neverreach, granted, but NR is a joke.
The only problem I've ever had with the 60 dungeons is that sometimes the dps seems to suck and the bosses take like 50% more waves to kill than they should. Never really came close to failing though.
I'm a bit confused about what can go into your inn's Armoire. It seems that the ilvl 50 job quest reward armor can go in there, but the ilvl 90 ones can't?

The way I remember is that class quest rewards, achievement rewards, and holiday quest rewards can. Items from any other source generally can't.
Now the expansion screwed that up somewhat, because the i90 stuff used to be a vendor item from tomes but was added to the class quest instead.
As a 56 AST (with full rest), what do you suppose would be the better option for xp: leveling dungeon roulette (and getting something like Halatali) or just queuing into Aery directly? It feels like I don't get nearly as much out of the leveling dungeon roulette as I used to and I'm not sure if it's my imagination.

Hmm, it depends on how adverse you are to repetition honestly. If you are fine spamming Aery I would just do that as it's most likely one of the faster ways (FATE spamming being a good alternative as well). Personally I like mixing it up while leveling so I do my daily roulettes, a bit of FATEs, some dungeons, etc. I've been doing this on DRK for my third job to 60 and it's been a pretty pleasant experience thus far. I'm just shy of lvl 56 right now and will probably make a decent push for 57 tonight to unlock access to the next dungeon.

Yeah, my thing is I have like 1-3 hours a night to play and would prefer to be somewhat efficient. Plus, playing an AST in sub 30 dungeons is about the most boring thing.

Ah yeah stick to Aery or FATEs then, either will be a very efficient use of your time vs EXP gains. A key thing to remember as well is that when you unlock access to the next dungeon you'll want to spam that for the entire level since you get EXP chain bonuses. This makes it incredibly awesome for leveling.

I'm seriously considering maining Astrologian now.
I suspect it was more because you look like the typical representation of Cao Cao
But yay! More people for the healer ranks!

Most patches have just a laundry list of random items that have been allowed to go in there, it'll just be a matter of time.

The templates are hyur, which is interesting. Wonder how they'll deal with the fact that miqote don't have ears in the same place.
No bet.
And no bets on submission of *insert pop culture character here* hairstyle.
Possibly, but it already exists in game for the Male Au Ra

You can't do Alex at all until you have ilevel 170.
reshading thing? Do you mean the dx11 version of the game? Or something else?
If 'something else' can you share download location and any other pertinent details?
It's not very practical in-game but it's great for screenshots. You can also turn on and off depth of field since it can get a bit of annoying.
Another screenshot:
Seriously, I never heard of that, but judging from that screenshot I want it badly.

Most switched to DK so be the special snowflake tank and Axe all the mans.
