Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers |OT| First World Problems

None of it suits a Monk. That's why I've had the ARR af gear. I might replace it with the ShB af gear since it looks similar.
It doesn't suit Samurai either. I don't know who MNK/SAM gear is for because it's not for either of the two classes that can equip it. :|
They will add non-disciple of the land versions at some point. That's what they did for Stormblood. The gatherers got cool stuff and they later added "all classes" versions you could get in Eureka and they were very common drops so they became very cheap on the marketboards.
I was leveling sam before Shadowbringers release, and stopped at lvl 63 because I realized I couldn't find any glamour that would actually please me. :/
"Hey boss, we're trying to make armor for samurai but we already ran out of ideas for hakama pants and robes."
"uhhhhhhh...half-shirts and skirts?"
"For male characters too?"
"Fuck it."
Only good SAM glamour is the FFT one.
MNK has a couple of good ones, but if you aren't cosplaying Chun-li, why are you even playing Monk?
"What do you mean you're new to this? The content has been out for an hour!"

I need to try Coil so i'd be willing to group up for a fresh run if you want a tank
Back when ARR launched and I had three weeks off to do nothing but play it I also had overall good community experiences, however, I did have one awful PUG experience with some people that did nothing but troll my ability to tank the entire dungeon. I ended up dropping mid-way through and never did another PUG.
That experience is one reason I never actually finished the ARR story because by the time I got to the last dungeon it was hard to get a group together to run it from the old place's FC so I just never did it because I didn't want to do a PUG again.
It's also why I think I'm going to completely shy away from tanking when I restart. Hearing they may streamline the starting quest line with the 5.1 patch may make me wait though. I still have to finish DQXI anyway.
You gotta step up your sam glam game up. My samurai always look fresh in its myriad outfits. TIL i'm a fashion guru
why limit yourself to chun li ( especially considering Monk strait up has KOF moves and looking like chun given that would look weird. )
Not chun li , but I think i'm on some like action figure he man shit
Male healers have gotten used to wearing dresses more often than pants.
A friend recently showed my the Ala Mhigan Jacket of Striking which has some potential I guess. I'm kind of out of the loop when it comes to hunt ( and probably many other content ) since I came back to the game so there is probably a few other piece I don't know about which could be interesting.
But it's clearly not easy to find decent options compared to say, mage or tank who make me want to make like 10 different character.
But to be fair I'm hard to please, I think dancer is also hardly easy to glam except for a select few option that everyone jumped on day one. And that's with a female character, I can only guess it's worst for males.
Currently wearing this, even if I'm not convinced yet ( hands are pretty much sure to change ) :
edit : to be honest I would pretty much love to see glamour not limited by class limitation, imho it serve little to no purpose in pve, even more so given some of the all class gear we can already wear
The Ronkan chest piece for tank is really good looking and goes well with other stuff.
I've been playing for years (although I'm focusing more on tanking with SHB) and I finally had my 1st real tank fuck up. After a few wipes, I turned Titania around a second before the cleave and caught like 3 out of 8 people. I was embarrassed and apologized like 3 times and everyone was like, "no problem". I even still received 3 commendations.
I've been using this for my Samurai for a long time now:
I refer to it as my Jedi glamour with the use of earth tones and the glowy weapon.
Those are my only two glamours for MNK that I feel confident in wearing, one of them having nothing to do with MNK exclusive glam lol
Oh god, game changer. I didn't know this existed. Sanity restored. The new battle music is really not my thing.
It was a trial (innocence). Healer kept voting to abandon. Saying we are wasting his time.
Oh yeah, ppl can get quite annoying on new trials. Wiping on new trials should be expected.
I was lucky, I wiped on Titania once 9nly and no one said anything, just some advice and that's all.
Man, I really hated (Level 72-73)
what the pixies did with the area they live in. It made it all so ugly and difficult to move around. It's gotten so much better now that I'm past that point and the place looks much better. I can't wait to see how it looks after we push out the light..
Some people really struggle to comprehend that not everyone can play new content 18 hours a day to power straight to end game, there's still a lot of people only just reaching these fights
i don't remember, was there any general chat channel? town chats are dead silent despite bursting with peepz.
€: also servers seem to start shitting themselves (phoenix eu). getting really bad lag spikes now, thankfully i still managed to tank through the dungeon, but that was no fun at all with all that rubberbanding

I always ran new dungeons with Trusts the first time through. Combat isn't as fast or efficient as playing with real people(the AI does not really follow meta rotations, basically) but you can take the dungeons at your own pace which is a huge boon. The AI is really, really good at avoiding mechanics and it can actually teach you how to do the boss fights better than real people do.
one of the best monk gear is from the first crystal tower raid. I used that one for a long time.
The game doesn't have general area chats in the same way as WoW as whatever, you'll get people shouting nonsense occassionally (mostly in Limsa Lominsa) but that's about it
My take from a tanking perspective: the system is sufficient. DPS rarely aoes, and if they do it's accidental. Dungeon runs take about 10-15 minutes longer than it would with a human party, and pulling to the wall is not really feasible while leveling. Rarely will party members die from mechanics. In fact, they are usually clairvoyant and stand exactly where they need to long before there's any indication of it. As such, it's pretty easy to follow them to deal with mechanics even if it's your first time. Sometimes, based on the character, they will take a couple more risks than usual and possibly die. The character-based stuff is interesting in general. If you do die, it counts as a party death, but that will only happen if you fail mechanics quite a lot since healing is generally good (hint: shields are the best). Overall, I like it, but I'm not sure I'll invest a ton of time into it for secondary jobs.
God damn it, Alisaie. Her AI is very aggressive and loves to waste LB gauge.
Since we are talking glamours, I recently made myself a tank glamour. IT doesn't really fit gunbreaker tho, but will keep it for when I decide to level DRK and WAR:
If I ever play SAM, I'll probably glamour the Iroha outfit and never change from it.
I think you're seeing more healers now because they're still getting AIN bonuses pretty consistently. The whole "you're wasting my time" thing is pretty rare from a healer (unless you queue into AV or Thousand Maws, then we complain to SE.)
I did have someone badmouthing from the very beginning of the 73 dungeon and they dropped halfway through. With all the praise ShB is getting, you're probably seeing a lot of new players or even older ones who gave up along time ago.
Fun dungeon and it looks great even if I don't care for the denizens of Il Mheg that much.

I use the Trust system for my first runs to learn mechanics. It works, it's just going to be slower run. If you aren't in a hurry, you should be fine.
Out of curiosity, what did they say to you for being new? Usually, people are somewhat happy because it means a bonus.
man i love these dancing videos, because the dances are always ridiculously well animated
Anyone else getting severe lag spikes that last for up to 30 seconds on Phoenix EU? When i played earlier it was fine but i could feel how it got worse in the afternoon. Now its totally unplayable in dungeons. Monsters and party members are just standing around for 30 seconds with nothing happening. super frustrating.
i tested my connection - its fine (8 ping, 106 down, 32 up)

I usually check out Eorzea Collection when I need Glamour ideas. These are some of the ones they have for Dancer.
So I'm in the middle of 2.4 content with my warrior. The plan is to finish that content to Heavensword and then switch to Machinist and try it out. Are they any good? I don't hear to many people talking about them. Is there a way to skip to 50 on it or did they take that pay option away? I'm guessing grinding dungeons, fates, and blue + quests would be the fastest way if so?
Tried the trust system and it worked great but slower than having a party of players. Will use it for the next story dungeons.
The parties I have been in aren't happy if it's your first time doing a dungeon or trial and I met players leaving if the party was wiped out for the first time. I know they're bad apples and most of the players aren't like that, but I have been having a hard time with this.
For me it was Dark Knight, I used the Palace of the Dead with a friend to grind to 50. Completed the 100 floors in the process.
I use the Trust system for my first run now so I can take my time and watch cutscenes and not feel like I'm holding up the party. I use to watch a video guide before every dungeon to learn mechanics before going it but as normal as that was for XIV, it's not as fun. I'm sorry that you've been having some bad experiences and it's a shame that people are being so ugly. What data server are you on? I'm sure people here would be willing to help with any runs from time to time like helping you with your MSQ dungeons. A good FC also helps with these types of things as well.
