Guess I'll take this downtime to bitch about Mechanist a little bit. I really want to like this class. I love the idea and aesthetics of it, but there are some things that are really irking me about it. First of all, having RNG in your 123 combo is just about the most annoying thing in the world, and not just any RNG, it's an actual 50% coin toss so you can't make any assumptions, which means you ALWAYS have to be looking at your stupid bar. Yes obviously the ammunition system is there to make it 100%, I just wish it was always 100% and ammunition did something different. Speaking of ammunition, why the hell do all GCD actions use ammunition when only 2 actually do anything with it? Yes it increases the move's potency by 20, whoopdeedoo. Also, what the hell is up with all the 5% modifiers? That's such a troll thing to add, like yeah it's efficient to keep it up, but really? Is 10% too much to ask? That being said, I'm still gonna stick with it until 52 and try to see the big picture and how the gauss barrel affects things. Honestly the only thing that aggravates me is the rng in the 123, I can live with everything else. When I switch back to warrior, everything is just so clean.

don't use GCD actions on anything but the combo while you have ammo up. It's pretty simple.

I like just about everything else, and even changing the % to like 55 or 60 would go a long way to making me feel better about the class. I may get to 50 today on it and park it for a bit and play my WHM or NIN to 60 first, I dunno.

It's less evocative than the Fire I animation, since it's just your dude kind of shaking their hands in the air like they're fondling some air boobs. Also I had everything neatly packaged into my hotbars and all these new abilities I can't fit in oh god too many buttons.

I'm not excited about it, and largely what has me on blm is the momentum of holy poo poo the story is good. Leylines at least is pretty fun, and worth it, it's nice to have a powerful ability on a decent cooldown/uptime. I'm actually excited to push that than Raging Strikes which if it wasn't for trying to min/max I'd forget existed. I will say one thing, at least Enochian is a 60s cooldown 30s uptime without loving around with Blizzard IV so...it's easy enough to keep up.

You spend 51 levels getting used to playing one way, then you're suddenly expected to park in one spot like a caster? I haven't played around enough to join the "Yoship ruined bard forever" hate party just yet, but from what I have played, I just plain don't like the Minuet. It runs counter to everything I enjoy about bard.

The problem for me isn't so much the lack of mobility, its the fact that everything pre-52 is about sliding in off-gcd's between your attacks. With minuet you're still expected to do that, except now you can at best, fit a single o-GCD in without clipping your GCD. It's just a huge pain in the rear end, and not fun at all; not to mention the bugs and latency issues it brings in.

Considering how you could play all the professions on one character, is there any real benefit to running more dudes other than the admittedly very important reason of having different looks/race?

After playing with Gauss Barrel/Round a bit on MCH... It's neat, but I think ultimately I'm going to go level WAR or DRG now. Not just because of Gauss, but I hate having more abilities to use off-GCD than I do on-GCD. Getting off a full Wildfire combo feels amazing, but my eyes are burning a hole in my hotbars without Ammunition up, and I have to weave 6 (7 when I'd hit 58) buffs off GCD in between my normal attacks with Wildfire up to maximize damage. It's way more buttons to press and fast paced than other classes, but I think I prefer the long rotations with different 1-2-3 combos DRG and WAR have.

Gizmo Chicken posted:Haha he writes a big manifesto on DRK and doesn't know the name of the second move in the enmity combo. He's kinda right about a lot of it as far as I can see, though. I'm enjoying DRK and all but a lot of the abilities have WAR or PLD equivilants that are just flat-out better. Like, Shadow Wall is 30% damage reduction for 10 seconds in a 180 second cooldown. Compare that to Vengenace, which is 30% damage reduction for 15 seconds on a 120 second cooldown, plus free counterattacks. Reprisal is a counter that can only be used after parrying, and lowers enemy damage by 10% for 20 seconds, with a 30 second cooldown.Meanwhile, Storm's Path is a standard combo attack with no cooldown that lowers enemy damage by 10% and can be kept up all the time. I don't even know what Dark Passenger is supposed to be for, it's a conal attack on a 30 second cooldown with a hefty MP cost and...nothing else. No enmity bonus, just a 150 potency attack. I'm hoping it'll change at higher levels with more abilities, but for now it just seems kind of mediocre in a game where the other tank classes are really, really good.
