Not FFXIV!
I tried a little Rift again now that it's f2p. It's still fairly solid, honestly. The soul tree system is still the best way of handling talents/skills I've ever seen.

Rift, eh? I was wondering about trying it too.
I activated a trial on my WoW account. Played a regular Cata dungeon on my 85 Prot Warrior using my phone as a hotspot. It actually ran great. About 70ms ping the whole time. Now if only I could learn to play with all the new abilities and such... :P I love the concept of tanks keeping themselves alive through their abilities (like Shield Block and such), but I'm so not used to it.
Nowadays I take my PC or my 360 to my buddy's place once or twice a week, and we play whatever. Usually Call of Duty or Dota2. I keep trying to talk him into trying WoW, but he has no interest. >_> He never played any PC game til I got him to try Dota2, and now he's addicted. Plays three or four games a day.

Brewmaster is the way to go for active tanking. It's hard as !@#$, I was practically sweating when I got the gold achievement for proving grounds (shut up I know I'm bad).

Really? I found Brewmasters really straightforward. The only thing that can be kind of tricky with them is deciding when to purify your stagger damage. Shuffle takes care of itself, and outside of that you've got a strong heal from Expel Harm and a very strong heal for soloing from Chi Wave.

Get this Monk filth out of my Cathedral!

Monks are true neutral. And true neutral is too close to chaotic evil. THEY MUST BE CLEANSED WITH THE LIGHT.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it:
Monks are a million times more fun to play than the current incarnation of paladins.

Pfft. This was a fire mage discussion group for like two months, once.

That's true. I think it was only like... blademeld that didn't have a fire mage alt out of the prominent paladin posters at the time. Of course, fire mages were the bees knees in ICC, but that's besides the point.

Yeah but I think that happened during Cata anyway.

Oh wow, maybe it was. I haven't played a mage since Wrath, so maybe that's why I was thinking it was earlier.

You play D3 HSR?
If you do make an EU toon add my battletag there than.
I'm dying in anticipation of RoS!
FFXIV Sucks and Rift is actually cool, I payed a @#$%load for getting 6months of gametime and the game at launch then I played for 2 weeks got to max level and got tired cause my GF still played wow.
The fire mage discussion started during cata, I remember coming back a while after I quit and seeing that filth. I turned at the doorstep.

I do play. Not so much anymore, though. Definitely looking forward to RoS to help get me back into it again. I'll add you though.
I'm RogueBurger#1323, if anyone wants to add me.
Edit: And now I'm reminded of how bad Diablo networking is. I'm getting a ping of 150 ms on the European servers: not ideal, but completely playable in any game with even remotely competent netcode. But not so in Diablo. It's completely unplayable for me. I guess I won't be spending any time leveling characters there afterall.

Carebear - I have to play with 300-400ms ping...
People talking about FFXIV - are you referring to the initial launch 3-4 years ago or the relaunch? I still laugh when I see their advertisements saying they've been around since 2009...

Actually I've never played. I'm just mainstream hating....... ;p
But I'm a hardcore FFVII fan so I won't acknowledge any predecessor.
Secretly I've been wanting to try it though.
P.s.
Are you referring to the rubberbanding HSR? I thought they fixed that?

FFXIV is actually really not that bad at all. I can't really speak to the endgame of it, but everything leading up to it is quite fun. The story is good, the world looks absolutely breathtaking, and the gameplay itself is engaging. The combat is a bit slow-paced for an MMO, but that's more to do with the fact that it was designed with console play in mind.
If you're interested in the FF universe at all, you can't really go wrong with picking it up and levelling a couple jobs to 50 to get some of that story in ;)

I will admit that I have been tempted by it.
However I don't feel like spending money on it and I barely have the time for it. So it probably won't happen in the near future.
I haven't even had the time to try challenge mode yet! oO
So before I get my hands on that wonderful moggear I ain't trying anything new.

BTW I'm healing when you do that.

Sort of, yeah. Every time I try to attack, the game apparently waits for the round trip of data before actually updating the game that the attack actually took place, at which point everything then snaps quickly to where it's supposed to be. Never had the problem on American servers.
