How awesome is 2.1?Follow

Yeah, level 40 fishing leve was giving me about 30-40k now giving 68k.

Did you notice you can set your character to "Cutscene Skipping" now?

I'm going to set this first thing!

I'm going to run all the new dungeons and Crystal Tower and then set this until the next update.

I managed to squeeze in a couple of Duty Roulette... um... spins? as a Scholar this morning. A quick Ifrit Easy Mode fight and a Guildhest later, and I had some Philosophy and Myth Tomes and 2 <3s in less than 20 minutes without a hitch.

I find myself continually refreshing the page, hoping for more tidbits of information until I can leave work :P

I forgot to mention, it points out which role is currently in short supply for each Duty and offers extra rewards if you sign up as that role (not to mention you'll get in right away), which is very handy if you have the available class/job for it. Not surprisingly it's usually healer or tank.

750 gil will get you a roofing nail for your house though!

Same here. Way more interesting than writing out software test scenarios.

Man I totally wish it was! (Our release point is 2.7 so this is actually getting a little confusing for me.)

I'm a PC/Controller player.. so the changes that have been made to controller options, like that we can now Un-bind a few keys (Mainly L3, which is an auto-lock on, I don't know how many times thats almost killed me while trying to run away from a mob), plus adding a 3rd hotbar to our key combos so we wont need to always switch them (though I've gotten adept at that).

You can now right click an item in your inventory and "sort" and it very nicely autosorts all of your tabs, I swear it's more organized now than when I would manually do it.

Tomes for doing lower level dungeons.. I may be 50 WHM but we have 470 person FC.. with people at all levels of play so I do run lower dungeons quite often (I'm not an end-game player very often), so that personally will help me.

Kind of yes, by default, L2+R2 opens up the one side of hotbar 8 , and R2+L2 opens the other side of that bar. You can change which hotbar these are set to in your Character > Hotbar Settings > Cross > (under) Expanded Hold Controls.

Warrior got some needed boosts. But they're not the amazing DPS/tank monsters they're being made out to be. They deal the same amount of damage they did before. They got a slight buff in damage due to Unchained CD being lowered from 180s to 120s, but also received a slight nerf with Internal Release going from 20% crit to 10% crit.

Those are the only changes that affect WAR damage in this patch, aside from any changes to gear that may have occurred.

But WAR itself is now on par with PLD in terms of soaking damage. PLD needs some help now in making the class "interesting." It's effective, but simple. You Flash for aoe threat, with CoS when it's up, and you RoH combo the main target. Utilize cooldowns as needed to absorb damage/silence and toss in the odd stun. There's no choice though. You use RoH combo for everything. PLD needs a bit of help in the aoe threat department, so maybe tying Riot Blade into buffing CoS would be nice. Have CoS grant extra emnity when used after Riot Blade, as well as a boost to potency. Make it so the DoT portion also generates extra emnity after a combo.

Or not. But do *some*thing. PLD is effective but boring, and that's no good.

Yeah I plan on doing this after work today. At that rate, I'll have the rest of my Vanya gear by next week :)

I think I read you only get the big 200 tome bonus once a day though... is that right?
