Hello everyone! Zorn here again! I haven't been back for about a year, so most of you probably don't remember me. But for those who do, I used to play Eridan here.

BUT NOT TODAY.

I'm bringing with me Lord Haurchefant de Fortemps from Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward! For those who don't know who that is, he's an eccentric noble from a super religious city-state named Ishgard, which has been in a millennia long war with dragons, and also has been stuck in an eternal winter for like 5+ years now. While Ishgardians are known for their aloof, stand-offish, and often inhospitable natures, Haurchefant is very much the opposite.

He's a really nice, encouraging, and all around friendly guy! He's just a little weird and excitable, not to mention quick to shower praises onto people to the point of being a little uncomfortable. But overall he's a really great dude!

I'm looking forward to getting CR with everyone here, if any of you would like to read my app for Haurchefant, you can find it here, but if you don't want Heavensward spoilers then don't read it. IT'S FULL OF THEM.

ANYWAY, if you'd like to contact me out of the game feel free to add me on aim (Zornsable) or plurk [plurk.com profile] ZornSable!

oh man, another person on Balmung! Balmung's my main server, and I've got some alts over on Adamantoise.


My main's SMN(/BLM) and I got SMN to 60 first, it's just that... I had to spend like two weeks yelling at SE support, because my CE arrived without a registration code so I couldn't play after early access ended. AST is prrrrrrobably gonna be my next 60, so I can do law grinds w/out having to sit through dps queues DX

I didn't get into FFXIV until 2.0 but the people who got me into it had been playing since 1.0 so that's where I've been.


Yeah, it was a maaaajor pain, although I've been back on for a bit now, and have been scrabbling to catch up to plot and gear. I've got almost all my gear law or expert dungeons now though! So I'm getting somewhere. Also AST is hella fun, imo, but it hasn't got as much coverage for the "oh shit" moments. Essential Dignity is pretty good, but that's it so far (at lvl 50)

This is my first ffmmo, but I've been liking it a lot!

Yeah, they gave me a standard reg code and told me to contact them when my account was registered for that so it could be bumped to CE (which should be done now; I was talking to them about that earlier.) And yeah, I can... see why they might? Essential Dignity does more heals the lower the hp so I can see a lot of the draw there. Plus keeping on top of card buffs takes a lot of time - I've heard there's a lot less time to dps with AST especially post-50.

On the other hand one of the stances is basically "SCH without the pet", so maybe that could be a replacement? Although I do know AST barriers will replace SCH barriers and SCH barriers are for more so you'd probably want to swap stances in 8-mans if there's a SCH in.

Yeah, that's what I've heard.

...I got nothing then. But the swarm of people trying the new shiny should be mostly over by now.

Yeah, that threw me too - I mostly have SCH up because SMN and might as well - but I can understand why too? Like if a non-WAR tank has ~16k hp it'd start to get a littttttle op to heal for percentile damage.

Yeah, I heard about problems with the fairies not scaling either? But I've not been paying a whole lot of attention to SCH as a whole, since I'd rather WHM, partially I don't have to respec my point allocation for that. But either way, it definitely sounds frustrating if you'd been doing SCH more than I have been!

Yeah, I can understand that. Hopefully tweaks/adjustments will be forthcoming but we shall have to see what the future holds.
