  1. The only thing I could recommend is doing a video on the various roulettes so people know what the benefits are and how to unlock some of the more esoteric ones. 😛

  2. "As a new just let the party know you're new and not comfortable doing big pulls yet…" [paraphrased]. Will always remember the healer in one of my first dungeons as a newbie tank after I shared that. They used Rescue on cool down to make me move through pull more groups faster… I stopped tanking for a long time after that.

  4. Best way to test how a job would be at higher level. Get Palace of the Dead up to level 51. That way no matter what level your alt character is it will be level 60 and have all your abilities of 60. Of course you need to be 30 to get your job crystal, so without it you would be a level 60 rogue instead of level 60 ninja.

  5. Hallafreakingluellia! DPS…so didn't know in first few dungeons that I was A. inviting aggro because hadn't figured out NOT to do AoE anywhere near the boss guy B. confusion over where to stand C. to check party chat for hints D. that team member who drops big hint couldn't spell so instead of looking for the TAIL I was mystified about where the NAIL was. Lol. Lol. ah well. Ahh.

  6. Uh, im a new player and picked black mage as my main job and what i've learned is, unless you're an old boomer black mage player who plays flawlessly you are frowned upon and other old players are quick to express their dislike and sighs. This never happened whenever i played other jobs like red mage gunbreaker summoner astro etc.

  7. what i hate about the free trial for FFXIV is you can't even send a tell to another person, that makes it hard for us, free trial people to communicate with other players. I know that there is global chat for us, but people dont really care about people who use global chat. if FFXIV could just add the feature to send a message to other people that would be super bad ass bomb boom shakalaka for us new peeps. So like asking for directions, or help from other players won't be hard.

  9. I appreciate the idea behind "use your stuns," but as a tank/heal main… I'd much prefer new dps players didn't.

    It's super frustrating when you can't use your stun to interrupt a boss because of the DR from a new player using it. It's also annoying when your positioning isn't working out the way you intended because someone stunned a mob. Once you have a feel of the game, and know when your stunning will be helpful/not annoying, feel free! But I'd much prefer people not use it until then.
