I don't really love Leylines either, but that's probably because I'm bad at using it effectively in a lot of fights (or just straight up forget about it after the first use).

You must be a crit mainthat's actually pretty accurate. i love high dps, and every time i have to step outside of the circle i feel the pain if they removed the cooldown and/or dps bonus i'd probably like it more. if it was just a teleportation circle that'd actually be pretty sweet --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

if i was a bit more serious about the game i'd study up and memorize exactly when and where i'm supposed to place ley lines in every fight and maybe it would be pretty satisfying to display that mastery... but my time & friend group in the game has been more casual than that
back when i played wow mage might have been my favorite class, but i always specifically opted out of their ley lines equivalent talent --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Everyone wipes at least once in Darkhold. I'm surprised you wiped there instead of in the big chamber right before the first boss though!
I mean it's always one of those two places, but more often the first. At least when you wipe in Aurum Vale next, it's going to be in the first room! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

So in my head canon for this game
Once my Paladin hit level 50, I started doing black mage on the side because I didn't want to over level a single class too much before hitting the expansions so I had a second class to soak up all the extra MSQ exp However this was all intended from the beginning as freaking with the dark arts is what corrupts her and leads her down the path to eventually becoming a Dark Knight as my main class --- ...

Aurum Vale only has it's reputation for that first room. As long as you don't get screwed there it's honestly an easy mode dungeon.
Well, and as long as everyone knows when to eat fruit, but that's just knowing the mechanic and has nothing to do with actual ability. Darkhold is waaaaay worse. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The second boss there used to not have AOE indicators (this was just the mechanic for how cyclopses worked) and would occasionally destroy newbie groups. Plus, while it's very little of an issue while synced down, people frequently run it undergeared which makes it MUCH worse for the tank and healer. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ...

I think the only other competitor is Copperbell Mines which has extremely obnoxious mechanics on top of being boring but at least it's trying something...? All 3 of the tutorial dungeons I have literally fallen asleep while running them, but I can give them a pass because they're tutorials.

Squadron stuff caps at 60 and exists almost purely to level up DPS jobs to 60 without queue times.

Leveling up the squadron members is time-gated since you have to do dispatch missions so yeah, might as well get started on that in advance.

Oh for sure, it 100% makes sense. From a pure numbers standpoint he's easily their #1 streamer. Streaming FFXIV wasn't even a noteable category be for him, really.
