Work continues to be busy but my focus kinda tanked in the afternoon. I still got through all I had to get through but after a certain point I kept bouncing between laying on my bed and reminding myself that I had to like, actually finish my work. Spent the evening just with FFXIV again. Just did random bullshit for the most part, though I've now unlocked Heaven on High, the second Deep Dungeon. It's really just more PotD but with half the total floors and a high starting level. I'm going through it with dark knight right now, cause that and white mage are the only jobs I have at 61+. Going into HoH raw with DRK (I have not played the job in 2 years) was kinda rough but I remembered what to do pretty quickly. The main difficulty is just not having the QoL buffs that PotD has; you don't get the regen potions as drops, and aetherpool upgrades are much slower going. I did get a bunch of silver chests on the first 10 floors though, and a +3 too. The other main difficulty of course is having to train myself to not use my fucking mouse. Two of my ability slots are set to M4 and M5 and I gotta add at least alternative hotkeys to those slots (it's fine for ground-targeted stuff but I shouldn't really use it for anything else).
