  1. What they meant with not using the ice sticker is (not in your opener until you reach level 90) you get the ice sticker – press f1 and get the 3 combo stickers – use all 3 stickers and get another 3 combo sticker with the last stack

  2. Samurai is great fun β€” especially if you like big numbers. It is simple to play and it does tons of damage. Optimization can get dicey at the very top but honestly you can forget about optimizing everything outside your opener and still land top DPS more often than not.

  3. This was exactly how I felt when I was fist learning the GCD combos and learning which Iajustu I had to execute from the flank or rear, fun times. Cheers Psy, I hope you enjoy Samurai more

  4. As you level the jobs get more off-global intensive and it kicks up the rotations more! It's been cool watching you learn about the game! I say that melee is more fun, but that's for me xD

  5. Positionals sound way worse than they actually are and they do a ton of extra dmg, so they're well worth hitting.
    The gap in the target's ground circle is the rear and right where the solid line starts it's the flank, so you actually need to move only very slightly from side to side to hit the gap/rear or the line/flank – and you've alway got True North for when mechanics prevent you from hitting them.
    If you imagine the boss facing north, your ideal positioning to hit positionals is around south-east or south west.
    Btw, if the target has a full ground circle, positionals don't matter.
    No spoilers, but my fave samurai blade comes from the lvl 81 MSQ dungeon – looks like a purple lightsaber.
    Your opinion of jobs will probably change as you reach max lvl. They all get more complex, with more OGCDs.

  6. I remember when I unlocked Samurai shortly after leaving the free trial. I spent half hour on the training dummy arranging my skills to feel natural to click them in the correct order, and then I immediately benched it and decided to play Stormblood as a Scholar because I lacked a healer in my sleeve.

    I still don't have a melee DPS in my sleeve, but SAM (and the other melee DPS jobs) saw just enough light of the day to reach level 90 and be benched forever. There is something in the melee DPS gameplay that I simply do not enjoy. I still have not pinned down if its the lack of overall visibility (When I play tank, I don't have a big wing/tail in my face full time), or positionals (because if I focus on positional and forget about mechanics, and if I focus on mechanics I only hit positional by accident). Probably both.

    I hope you enjoy your melee.

  7. Just saw this, I think for the future jobs you try, you could look up the Wesk Alber job leveling guides for each job.
    He goes over every skill, at what level you get them and basic openers and at what levels they change.
    He typically adjusts the openers to not be optimal for your level, but to be as close to the max level opener as possible, so that you build the required muscle memory for max level early.
