Noob questions...

First, trying to decide what to do with my myth tomes. I could +1 my relic, or I could get my Cleric's Robe (or hat I suppose). What's the better bang for the buck?

Second, is there a recommended DPS parser? I'm leveling blm right now, and would like to avoid hitting like a limp noodle as much as possible. I've been reading through tips on priorities & rotations, but noting helps like actually seeing how much of a difference something makes. (FATES don't really help since they just encourage you to spam bliz2 in hopes of actually hitting something)

Third, any recommendations in terms of leveling priority? WHM is my only 50,BLM came next mostly because after hitting 26 for Swiftcast I figured what the hell. Is there anything that would be more useful, though?

In terms of usefulness I think Arcanist would also be next in line seeing as how you can only equip abilities from thm/acn. Eye for an Eye(34) and Virus(12) are two vitals skills to equip as a WHM in endgame content.

As far as DPS parsers I only know of two, FFXIVApp and FFXIV Logrep, as it stands I think parsers are a bit misleading as dot damage is never taken into consideration and if it is, it is estimated I believe, although I think there is a way to predict your DoT dmg which would be added on by the parsers but ehhh.. I haven't used logrep too much but supposedly its better.

With the exception of BRD, getting your Relic +1 first is pretty much the best upgrade you can do. The +3 damage may not sound like much, but it's worth about as much as +22 MND (not to mention you get the MND and VIT increases as well); you're not going to find that kind of improvement in any other slot.

Yeah, I'm 23 on my ACN, and am working on getting to 34, I just wasn't sure if it would be more useful to either have a bard or a tank than to have another healer/caster DPS.

I am by no means a blm expert, however having quelling from arc allows you to go full steam off the start without pulling hate. Which i think makes a difference since like mnk blm is about keeping your dmg modifier stat maxed at all times. Gl = fire/ice stacks

Thanks Xanthe, I'll plan to go with the +1 :)

What's different about BRD?

The difference is the damage increase going from relic to relic +1. Mages get +3 damage, tanks and melee dps get +2 damage, and bard gets +1 damage. That brings the effective increase in line with upgrading your body from iLvl70 to iLvl90, which is cheaper and also nets more VIT and defense.

Thanks for the replies! I have tooo many things to do, lol. I still need to get my ACN up, sounds like I need a few more levels on my ARC to get quelling strikes… and of course, actually get BLM to 50, as well as all the crafting, and more myth tomes… I shouldn't be bored for sure! =)

Oh, also I found a video that explains how I can not notice that it's pillar time on Garuda while I'm watching health bars ;)

One more noob question… ok, maybe two!

First, which would be more beneficial to the guild right now - WHM or SCH? I'm pretty sure I could get scholar up to 50 within a week, and most of my gear would transfer. I felt bad when I saw Aza going scholar so we wouldn't double WHM it, and therefore wasn't wearing the awesome shorts of … awesomeness.

Second, and what prompted the question, was what to spend myth tomes on first. I +1'd my WHM relic, and was thinking of getting the pants, as it seems like they have the next best stat upgrades per tome. Of course, if I switched to SCH they would be useless… So trying to figure it out.
