Hmm, only Level 6 but I can't say that I'm all that thrilled by the Thaumaturge. I'm weaker than a stack of wet leaves but the traditional MMO tradeoff is that I should be hitting like a sledgehammer, which I'm not. I'm guessing that there's a spell combo I haven't stumbled onto yet ?
As your spellpower improves you will feel much stronger. I've got 3 good friends all playing THM and they love it. Also, that specific class is the king of AoE. Once you get AoE Blizzard, the game will change significantly for you, in a good way.
I like to imagine that the "guy" that picked up the last copy at every single nearby gamestop this morning is really just one person collecting them all across the country.
Amdapor speed running is getting ridiculous now. Clear times are now as fast as 13 minutes. we pull the first boss the moment the tank dies, before the healer even resses him. We kill the second boss just as the adds spawn, after the second repel. We kill the last boss seconds after the second cataclysm.
Wiped for a few hours on Titan. A healer with lag issues was the primary issue, but our DPS was also hard pressed for the heart phase because we are letting a warrior come as DPS. It is going to take some pretty serious brute force attempts.
Spamming speed runs countless times in the first week the game is out does not seem like a good time.

I do not like tanking as a marauder.
I've got like, two threat abilities so far, and they both cost way too much TP.
Also, I've done the first two dungeons and gotten no loot. That's fun.
First dungeon I did I got no loot, second dungeon I got every piece. RNG man. My suggestion is to play them each 40 times, probably the loot distribution will even out
Every single piece of loot I've seen has been for casters. Every single one.

I've had some ridiculous luck on dungeon runs and some rather terrible luck.
My favorite so far was one run when I got a green chest piece, boots, and a shield. Only to be replaced in the second half of the dungeon with a pink chest piece, boots, and a shield. My party members were not as amused as I was. :P

How do I unlock the final tier of GC hunt log? I'm a Chief Flame Sergeant with Immortal Flames, and I'm not sure what I need to do to rank up again or unlock the final hunt log. The personnel guy tells me I need to prove myself to the commander, but the commander doesn't have a quest for me.

Huh, well how about that. Makes little sense to me since greens drop constantly and pinks are rarer (at least in my experience) and untradeable.
Very weird.

In my experience greens are rarer, but both pinks and greens are untradeable.
Greens are better but their stats are fixed, pinks are more generic but they have random stats

Greens are totally not untradeable as the AH (and the full set of Plundered caster gear my CNJ is currently wearing) will show. :P
But for me, which I guess I've been lucky? I always see green drops, very rarely do I see pinks.

Can you craft the Plundered set you get from Sastasha?
Cause if so then yes I guess.
edit- Looking over the FFXIVDB the only greens I really see that are untradeable are either level 50 or come from Grand Companies.

Savage blow or whatever it is (the combo skill from heavy swing that isn't maim) increases aggro. You use tomahawk to pull, overpower 3/4 times on the group, then put maim up and rotate through heavy swing-savage blow/fracture/overpower as you need. Its also worth leveling up gladiator for a bit since you need it for Warrior and you get flash, an MP based skill that increases threat for all enemies around you (it also works wonders in fates for tapping enemies, that way you get credit when they're killed even if they you do nothing else to them).
That said, I'm nearing lvl 30 and I'm having problems with Lancers pulling aggro from me. One of the last duty missions I tried there was a lancer who pulled aggro from me even while I was spamming overpower, flash, and savage blow. Don't really know whats going on there, I might just need to level up a bit.

I've been obsessing over trying to customize the HUD to my liking. After nearly an hour of shuffling around, this is my current layout:
I'm not 100% satisfied with it. The biggest hurdle is finding a place to put the Companion bar somewhere that doesn't feel like clutter. It would be great if the bar would disappear and reappear in accordance to when you have your Chocobo out.
In any case, I could use some ideas, so I'd like to see other people's HUD layouts.

Make certain that you alternate between blizzard (for mp gen) when low on mp and fire when you have a lot of mp. They give you a 10 second boost at the top of the screen above your health bar

Heavy Swing->Maim to keep up your 20% dmg done buff and
Heavy Swing->Skull Sunder is all you need to hold agro really.
Later you get more tools but for the first couple dungeons that's it. You can keep up fracture for the DoT too. Also pull with tomahawk as it's also increased enmity.
Marauder/Warrior holds agro not just from increased enmity skills but also the fact that you just deal a lot of personal damage.
Targeting minions: how do I do it? I've tried toggling multiple filtering options, and I set my normal filter(I have friends/enemies etc) to All, and I still can't. It'd be nice to heal carbuncles.

Doesn't it count as a party member?
I had hoped, but it doesn't seem to.
It isn't a party member, or it'd interfere with grouping. It does appear there though.
Every shield I have used still says "binding" and is at like 99%. My current shield has been in use for like 5 levels now, and it still isn't fully bound, but items I have gained afterwards already are.
I really didn't realize how many cut scenes there are in the beginning part of the game until I started skipping all the ones I've already watched on a new character. Which I think is to their credit.
Also I finally have a character on Sargatanas now =D
Folks, is there anyway to reset leve rewards short of finishing another leve? I really would like to keep up a string of diremite web rewards with cotton sash's.
First genuine hacker/exploiter seen today. Idiot was teleporting directly onto the tops of mining nodes. You know, on top of unclimbable walls. Reported, and suggested through a shout that everyone should do the same and all I got was a "lulwhat?" Humans.

I know the Behemoth FATE/raid is on a pretty long timer, like a couple days. Are there any pre-reqs to doing it? Do you HAVE to be 50 to participate?
What do I get from it? I know everyone wants to do it, but what is the reward?
