Unintentional but...

Congratulations! Now make it glow!

MURDER MYSTERY! Count me in! Maybe as one of the sympathists or even as a possible suspect! I'd like to join your linkshell if I manage to contact you in-game.

Although the topic started about SCH stats, it's great that it turned into a discussion about SCH abilities. To add to some of the ideas: - The Adloquium shield is doubled when you crit heal. Say, for example, you heal with Adloquium for "1017!", you put a 2034 potency Adloquium shield on the target. That's quite a lot so investing in critical hit rate can be a good idea. The same holds true for succor. If someone gets hit with a "457!" heal from succor, that person also gets a 914 potency shield. Again, don't spam these spells since they have high mana costs. - Although, Lustrate can be a good emergency heal, don't save up stacks just for that spell. Use it when needed (don't overheal), otherwise use the stacks on something else like Sacred Soil (unless you're preparing for something big such as Ifrit's Hellfire or Titan's Geocrush/Tumult and you can't afford to have it on cooldown) or Energy Drain when Aetherflow is off cooldown. - Watch out for the Disease debuff! Use Leeches to cure it immediately. The same goes for paralyze. - Like what Flapjack mentioned, don't forget to make use of your other skills such as Rouse, Eye for an Eye, and Virus when needed. They help a lot. - Shadow Flare and Sacred Soil don't stack! - Swiftcast. It's very useful when you need that instant raise, instant summon, or two succors in quick succession (HM Titan's Tumult comes to mind). - Control your fairy. Place it near the tank or where it can reach the entire party during a boss fight and manually cast Embrace to maximize healing. - In my experience, I usually only have to keep shields up on the tank and melee DPS. Some fights during endgame are quite healing intensive and can really drain your mana so proper mana management is key. Keeping shields up on ranged DPS (who rarely gets hit) is counterproductive.

At work:

I have 2 SCHs (one in Tonberry and another in Balmung) and from my experience Aetherflow and the occasional Energy Drain are enough to maintain my MP pool. Always remember that your main heal is still Physick and not Adloquium. During long fights, make sure to cast Aetherflow as soon as it's up but use Energy Drain, Bane, Lustrate, or Sacred Soil first to use up the remaining stacks. About stats, it really depends on which one you want to focus on. I went full MND on mine and use Cleric Stance for fights that need the extra DPS. To be effective, you'll have to learn to switch Cleric Stance on/off for DPS or healing. Believe me, our DPS is pretty good with Cleric Stance on. In one AK run with a DRG friend who was parsing, the total damage for Demon Wall were as follows: DRG - 11k (LB not included in parse), SCH - 12k, ARC (not BRD) - 17k *whistles*. And for the entire dungeon: DRG - 65k, ARC - 78k, SCH - 140k (!). Gotta love Bane. Both the DRG and ARC had Relic+1 and DL gears while I only had a relic and AK gears. I rarely heal in AK; I just place Eos where it can reach the entire party and cast Rouse when needed. Oh, and if MND is capped for materia, go VIT.

I'm finally in Balmung! Any LS or FC still active?

I have two characters; I played one with English VOs and the current one in Japanese. The quality seems to be roughly the same for both but I'm leaning a bit on the Japanese side because the voices fit (in a stereotypical kind of way) the characters more than the English ones. The syncing is horrible on both sides, sadly.

Anime: Currently waiting for Valvrave Season 2. Not watching anything at the moment since a lot of the good ones just ended. Some of the recent ones I enjoyed were: Hataraku Maou-sama! (I really loved this one), Majestic Prince, Symphogear G, Sword Art Online, Suisei no Gargantia, Eureka Seven: AO, and Zetsuen no Tempest. Also watched the latest DBZ movie. Manga: I'm currently reading Magi (gosh, the last page of chapter 199 probably contains the biggest surprise in the whole manga), Naruto (it's about to end, I think), Bleach (really bored with this but it's the final arc so might as well finish it), Fairy Tail, Claymore, Rosario to Vampire II, HSD Kenichi, Zettai Karen Children, and Haikyu!!. My friends keep trying to get me into One Piece but I just...can't for some reason.

Uhh...Hi. I was torn between moving my main to Tonberry (so I can join my friends) or Balmung (for roleplaying) before official word about server transfers came out. Now that SE announced that they are not yet allowing Legacy characters to move to new servers, it looks like I will be joining Balmung after all. Now for the nitty-gritty: MMORPG Background Lots of old Korean and Japanese MMOs, Ragnarok Online, WoW, FFXI, Rift, Guild Wars (1 & 2), Phantasy Star Online (1 & 2), The Secret World, Neverwinter, Scarle-...*cough*, most of the MMOs by Aeria. RP Experience PnP D&D, PnP Lot5R, in-game roleplaying or forum roleplaying in various MMOs. Character ideas/info Hmm...lessee...how about a boisterous magic-class character who is pretty smart with complex stuff but has very little common sense, if any? Or a comely healer who, behind the charming smile and quiet demeanor, hides a dangerously violent temper? Then there's also an old perverted monk who hides a terrible past filled with loss of loved ones. I love flawed characters for some reason. How did you learn about the coalition? FFXIV Forums. Searched for "rapelay"...I mean, "roleplay." What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? Depends on the mood, probably. Most likely medium to heavy. Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) Just ask me anything. I'm Southeast Asian, currently working in the Middle East as a writer, editor, journalist (actually, I'm still wondering what my official title should be)...and I spend most of my time playing vidya. Not much to see here in Desert Hill.
