I am almost 100% sure that the leaked BRD tooltip is actually a 120s cd, and the 90s is just a typo/hasn't been updated since songs were moved to a two minute cycle.
They did say that songs are on a 45 second rotation or something though, which is weird?

They mentioned in the live letter than songs are 45 second duration and a 120 second CD, so, assuming the relative value of each song stays the same (aka AP still sucks), you would run a 45/45/30 song rotation instead of the current 30/30/20.
If the new buff was a two minute CD, which I suspect is the case, you would just use a weak one in the opener, then the full buff every two minutes. It would just be a tech step with downside (sucks on the first use of each fight). Hell, this is what you would do even if it was actually a 90 second CD, because gaining one extra use of a 4% buff over a 10 minute fight (cause you can't actually get the full 5% if you use it on cd) is strictly worse than having the full 5% every time, even before you consider buff/burst alignment with other jobs.
Anyways, this is why tooltip speculation at this point is stupid, because the tooltips are often straight up wrong in these media builds, it has been an issue literally every time.
Paradox is the name of the Fire/Ice spell. It deals unaspected damage, and provides an additional effect if you’re in Ice or Fire mode. In Ice, it has 0 MP cost and refreshes Umbral Ice. In Fire, it refreshes Astral Fire and has a chance to trigger Firestarter.
So… it seems to be a beefy Blizzard I in ice mode, and a beefy Fire I in Fire mode.
The interesting thing to me is that it can’t be assigned to a hot bar. Meaning it transforms from another skill. My guess is that whatever skill gives you the Paradox status also transforms your Blizzard I and Fire I Buttons for the duration.
Not super interesting, but it’s a nice concept to juice up the rotation.
Guys I got 3 recs in Doma Castle and I feel like I earned them! I was playing WHM and no one died, I made good use of my tiny shield spell and I even yanked someone out of an AoE when I thought they might not have gotten out in time. It was just such a smooth run.
yeah that's kind of a nuts reaction. even the ex version is a fairly relaxed fight. not something they really need to make more of but a fun gimmick I didn't mind grinding a bit for the mount
I enjoyed the fight. It was something different, but I was surprised how well the Monster Hunteresque combat worked in FFXIV.
What bothered you about the fight?
everything? turning off healing, the 3 'lives', the combat style, getting kicked around and stunned constantly because I don't like the combat style which makes me not want to learn a fight I don't like and only get put in it because people don't seem to understand they should be doing it unsynced in a farm party to get scales and even if I do learn it other people will die and you have to go through a too long cutscene and do the whole thing over again
I don't want to play monster hunter. and I don't appreciate having to play monster hunter in a game that is not monster hunter.
and like carbot before him, he says he's not jumping from full time wow content to full time ffxiv content, so much as he's using his recent distaste for wow as an opportunity to make more generalized stuff, starting with an ffxiv thing because that iron is currently hot and it's what he's been playing lately
I hit 80 and I'm assuming I'm only halfway through ShB since everything is 75-76ish. I really want to keep playing the story and not take a day or two off to grind an alt job up to 76, but damn, I feel like that would just be flushing a massive amount of xp down the crapper.
If you have any other jobs in the high 60s or low 70s I'd personally try to catch it up for that easy exp, but grinding up an alt job fuether than that does take a bit so I'd only bother if that sounds fun on its own and I could stand putting the MSQ on hold for a few days or a week.
Also if you do decide to level up another job I would suggest doing a job that gives you access to a different role quest than the one you already have. The 4 are tank, healer, physical dps, and caster dps.
I would highly recommend getting one of each role to 80 eventually anyways since there is some pretty good, and imo important, lore behind finishing all the role quests.
I finished heavensward and a little bit of the post-HW stuff but then I was already at lvl 70 and it seemed like I should level up another class to do msq stuff with for a while
red mage is really fun! I had tried it before and it didn't really click for me, but once I got used to it a little more you can really sling out some damage.
My only complaint is the goddamn giant handles on all the red mage swords look awful
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
For Endwalker they're going to add an extra set of Role Quests, so it'll now be Tank, Healer, Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, and Magical DPS - so if you want to beat those for the inevitable follow-up sidequests I guess I'd recommend getting one of each type of class to 80 before November.
But also, yeah, don't bother levelling alts to finish up the MSQ if they're not already close. The MSQ gives a fair amount of EXP, sure, but 71-80 is pretty fast anyhow through the methods unlocked at level 80 (mainly Bozja).

And will be slightly faster post expansion too.l for alt classes.
I don't really think Sage solves any of Scholar's problems other than "not having to worry about Pets", and like, if you are a scholar, part of the hook is that you are a pet class. You don't want to play the class without a pet, you want your pet to be good.

My point is that Sage’s toolkit bypasses a lot of the issues in SCH’a toolkit that are comparable.
Spoilers for tooltip leaks.
For example, the entire issue with Dissipation doesn’t exist, as the Sage equivalent is simply a 60s CD that grants you an Addersgall. Additionally, healing with Addersgall isn’t a DPS loss because they have no Energy Drain equivalent.
By all means, I think Scholar has issues Sage doesn't have. But also there's already a few clunky issues that can be seen in the Sage kit that I'm going to be very frustrated with too.
sage doesn't interest me at all but it seems that everyone I know plays sch right now so I'll probably end up on ast anyway even though I don't like the new seal stuff

it doesn't matter either way to me because trying to optimize healer dps is a truly miserable experience

actually it's "force the other healer to do all the healing while you see how high your GPM (that's "Glares per Minute") can get"
in my defense they were provoking the boss with multiple vuln stacks and it was really messing with my parsing
if they’re take damage they aren’t worthy of healing and if they’re don’t take damage they don’t need healing
game of the decade
