there is a very comprehensive list of ways to remove debuffs but you're labeled a troll if you don't agree with peoples shitty opinions.
1)vex/attune for land rate flooring
2)using divine caress (obviously does not apply to erase, but congration it lets you cast erase more without having to worry about an extra -na spell)
3)meds, if slow is really that important and you have multiple erasables on, just use a panancea
4)na spell->sacrifice to avoid ***like para/curse
5)giving your whm march/indi-haste/some form of capped magic haste so that their timers are actually good and erase spamming actually becomes a non-issue
6)your support also comes /whm (asides from COR since they actually do fairly decent damage.) BRD and GEO aren't doing shitall after they put up their buffs in a melee setup. if they don't come /whm and help with status removal then they are pretty lazy and/or bad
there really is nothing wrong with WHM. and if you don't want to use panaceas to remove slow and for some reason that extra 5 seconds of slow makes you lose, then maybe you were probably going to lose in the first place regardless
actually, this is my answer to it but you've got me blocked so you can't see it anyway. enjoy being bad :)

For those attempting to defend the troll here is his post where he stuck his boot into his mouth.
then don't be a potato and cast paralyna before sacrifice, this isn't a hard concept
Yes, you can cast Paralyna before Sacrifice. That's not the problem with Sac. The real problem is when you pick up multiple eraseables along with potent Slow.
hello pls panacea exists. either the whm or dd can use it, there is literally alternatives to everything.
damage taken/debuffs received isn't even the issues with DDs, it's dispels on songs/rolls and the acc requirements being way too high right now. vex, attune, wilt, and to a lesser extent barrier are all really powerful. yagrush WHM paired with divine caress and vex/attune almost never has to cast ***
My response
Quote: Those are really really REALLY expensive to make. 200K a stack on Asura, that's more expensive then food.
Each synth requires a Philosopher's Stone and makes 4 panaceas. One stack of Philosopher's Stone costs 240K and they are hard to get in large quantities, typically as singles in voidwatch chests and so forth. I keep a stack on me at all times for emergencies, but asking people to use them as a primary source of status removal is beyond stupid. Remedies and Holy waters are pretty cheap to get so those are understandable, but not Panaceas.
To which he again puts his foot into his mouth
Quote: Panacea are sold by the Curio Moogle for 20k each
He suggested spending even more money then what it would cost off the AH.
Upon which he retreats into juvenile behavior, the kind you see junior high kids do when they are rebelling against parents. He could of backed down and acknowledged his response was impracticable and kind of dumb, or even he worded it badly, but instead he doubled down on the juvenile behavior.
That is when I black listed him.

okay i don't know why this discussion/argument is still going on when it was dropped pages ago but ANYWAY. the response was within the context of multiple erasable debuffs being on. that doesn't really happen that often anyway unless your WHM and/or support are falling behind on erases in the first place. if you get impacted, are you really going to sit there and make your support erase you 7 times, or are you just gonna pop a panacea and make everyones lives easier? if you have slow on, but you also have dia/addle and a bunch of other junk debuffs on, are you going to sit there and hope your WHMs get it off, or are you going to just pop a panacea? if the fight is sufficiently hard enough where healing WOULD actually be an issue, then yes, you would drop 20k per panacea for the sake of the success of the fight. but you can continue to take it completely out of context and rage over literally nothing. thank you for putting me in my place

Are you so dense that you aren't able to comprehend that curio was suggested as a readily available and non-user dependent source of Panacea?
If you're having trouble spending 240k on a stack of Panacea I've got bad news for you, bud.

Holy ***have you not been reading the past few pages.
This is about using melee on high tier content and the problems present that prevents it. Multiple status ailment aoe spam is one of those and the troll's answer is to spam Panaceas.
Holy ***did you not see the comment I was replying to above mine, or the other contributions I've posted in this thread?
Pretty sure that I've touched upon the content you scream of, and the reason one should in fact carry appropriate meds.
I wouldn't be so rude to someone who, you know, AGREED with you, but I heard that that's the way they roll on Asura.

I'm confused... Is this conversation about winning an internet argument or winning T3+ fights in Reisenjima with DDs?
If it is the former, please carry on. Glad to see you've found something else to whine about than Bsts doing stuff.
If it is the later and you want to use DDs on high tier content and the main problem you are experiencing is multiple debuffs and panaceas will help you win, use panaceas.
It is better than losing, and in the time saved by winning, go farm the 300k you spent.

Don't know where 7 campaigns come from, I count 11. At the top it says they are held simultaneously. So for all we know it is just one week.

Ah, that wasn't on Pantafernando's quoted post, so missed it.

I do like the campaigns, but having the last few day off them has given me motivation to do things I would push down the list of 'best use of time' like completing missions, playing some solo WKR, Questing, Completing RoE objectives etc.
The CP campaign will be awesome; I was so close to finishing COR off last one but could'nt bring myself to do CP w/o the campaign and there's another job I really want to finish off aswell so CP for me.

Can't distinguish if the HQ items fall into the category of "personal items". My guess is no, and they are simply adding one more slot for pluton/beit/rift for items that go directly to you.
My question is, if HQ gear/weapons are not included in the personal drop category they mentioned above, why even include it in this post?

They could possibly be referring to cases and boxes.

The title of this thread is update notes AND discussion. If you don't want to read nor participate in discussions, either read update notes on the SE website or BG(they have a separate thread there)
But it is not ppls fault for participating discussions in this thread since this is what it's for.

Oboro Items (2016/2/8)
The items from the NPC “Oboro” which will be enhanced will include the following:
Priwen/Terpander/Dunna
The method for enhancement will be similar to that of Delve, where you turn in certain items to the NPC to increase the number of points on the item. There will not be multiple routes to enhance the items, but the stats added will be appropriate for each job, so we hope you look forward to it.
Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
