So in theory, Swiftcast + Resurrection should go from taking 6 seconds to taking 0 seconds. Essentially, what Swiftcast does is it turns the first spell that follows it into an instant cast. There is a way to get around the long cast time of Resurrection – by using it in conjunction with another spell called ‘Swiftcast’. I knew this, and thought the fight was hopeless, but I was wrong. No, it is spamming AOEs all over the place, so the player who stands still for even 1 second is essentially dead. While this is all happening, however, the boss is not being polite and waiting while you cast your six second spell. Unfortunately, Resurrection takes over 6… six…seconds to cast, and you cannot move during that time or the spell will be interrupted – i.e.

The thing I did wrong was to forget about my ‘Resurrection’ spell.Īs its name suggestions, Resurrection allows a Summoner to revive a dead player during a battle. Now, in this situation, the thing I did right was to use my weak, Summoner healing spells to keep the tank alive. I don’t want to make this a self-justification rant, but I was not the reason the melee dps and the healer died at the first boss, leaving just me and the tank alive. The reason? A group of players I would not like to meet in real life. Yesterday, I tried to do the next dungeon in the storyline and came very close to quitting the game altogether. Unfortunately, the dungeons and trials I hate so much are a part of the storyline, and you can’t do one without the other.:( This content is attached to the storyline, and FFXIV is heavy on storyline so there’s a lot of it.Up to this point I would not be complaining.

I didn’t buy the expansion, however, because to actually play it, you have to finish all the old content first. This expansion was mooted to be as big and fantastic as a whole new game. To bring my non-gamer friends up to date, Square-Enix, the Japanese developer of FFXIV brought out an expansion in July I think. The pic below is of my character, Meeka, and the new minion she just earned from completing the Keeper of the Lake. Apologies, another gaming related post coming up.
