Well think about it this way, average out the potency of your attacks, that's your average potency every GCD, for a MCN it's a little more complicated due to procs but you can calculate it roughly like this: 1/2 of your shots should proc you should do 1 slug shot for every 2 split shots, same for Clean to slug so 4:2:1 averages 160 potency per regular attack Out of every 12 attacks we will do 1 hot shot and 1 lead shot so averages out to 184 potency average out of our GCD's Off global cool downs just divide potency by time so you get the potency/GCD Head Graze is 100 per 25 so 100/10 = 10/gcd Blank is 100 per 30 so 100/12 8.3/gcd Gauss round is 200 per 20 so 25/gcd Auto attacks average to about 83 potency a GCD ((They individual potency is based on weapon speed)) So without Gauss barrel we do 184+18.3+83 Potency per GCD for 283 potency per GCD Gauss barrel is then 184*1.2+18.3*1.2+25*1.2 = 220 +22 + 30 = 272 potency per GCD (assuming a flat 20% damage increase is a flat 20 potency increase, I assume it's more complicated than that but) This is assuming gauss barrel never makes you cancel a cast.

Adept Nightingale posted:I dunno. I don't use parsers or anything like that, but I do main bard. I hated Minuet pretty much the moment I got it, and continued to hate it until I hit 54 and got Empyrean, and now 56 has given me Iron Jaws (which refreshes both your dots simultaneously). Empyrean is... really, really satisfying, actually-- if you plan to use barrage along with it, a crit gives me about 3600 damage in one button press. I can only imagine how fun that's going to be at 60 in real gear. It only feels like you're doing more damage because you see big numbers. Losing autoattacks, delaying oGCDs, and any movement/los at all fucks over WM. Its only worth being in for aoe packs and for an opening salvo of barrage emp arrow, dots, and sidewinder. I've tested on a dummy and WM is only like a 20-30 dps increase when completely stationary.

I've been doing some thinking and I think the 2 biggest changes to Bard I'd want to see are a slight buff to WM damage (5% or so) and change WM to a proper off-GCD stance. As it is turning WM on and off is incredibly clunky and since the damage is such a small increase, it's not even worth turning back on after the first time you use it. Increase the damage plus add in a stance, and you'll get an even higher skill cap than now while making minuet a lot more interesting to use. I'm also interested to see if our 58 skill is going to useless or the most hilariously OP thing ever, but we'll find out about that come Alexander.

I'm probably gonna to change class once I hit 60. I'm not terribly fussed by the numbers or whatever, I just don't enjoy the BLM-lite style of play. I've always liked the highly mobile classes and BRD just isn't that anymore.

Knocked out the main scenario last night on WAR. I'm noticing they've included a lot more instances in fights where either the off tank is tanking or no one is, making it more useful to stance swap if you're not already stance dancing. That's all I've got. Last fight is amazing, easily the most Final Fantasy encounter in terms of the pure spectacle of it all, and I look forward to them introducing a Hard/EX version worth farming. e: Spoilered. Nothing story/mechanics stated, but just in case. Vitamean fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Couldn't really find a solid answer so maybe someone can help. For the Welcome Back campaign - I cancelled my sub on 4/21 and haven't logged since (and I believe the last time I logged in was in early April, but I have no clue how to check). Have had an account since launch day. If I resub and log in now, will I be able to get the silver tokens for i120 gear? I really want to get my item level up quickly so I can complete the rest of the main story. Alternatively, at this point, how quick can I blow through the rest of the story? I was locked out of the next quests due to an ilvl90 requirement and being that my main was DPS, queue times for the duty finder were awful a few months back.

People actually go to an inn to log out? Why? Kalenn Istarion posted:I didn't get my stuff yet - do you have to put in your main expansion code to get that stuff? I got my preorder bonuses this morning before putting in my code. You probably need the code for the CE items though. I'm really digging the story so far, the XP walls are pretty heavy if you're JUST trying to go through the MSQ, but it's not too bad (grinding out a level can take a while, side quests are kind of slow, but dungeon spam and roulettes are decent). At least the quest pacing is much much better than anything 2.X had. I'm at the lvl 54 wall now, having just completed the second dungeon. So far the 2 dungeons have been great and Ravana was awesome. Loving everything so far and it looks like I'm about to be a hodgepodge of gear again as the lvl 54 gear seems to be i130+ and I'm currently in full Ironworks.

I think if you're wearing an outfit which results in you getting mooned you've already gone well over the fetish threshold under your own power. On that note, it's kind of a bummer that the new jobs don't get AF gear, so it looks like you're mostly rocking the coliseum sets from 44-50. Not that the greater healer population needed an excuse to dress entirely in swimsuits and underpants, since that seems to be part of their code or something.

I get what they were going for with MCH and Ammunition, but they should've just made reload tie into bonus effects or more obvious damage increases rather than make your main combo work. Like, make ammo double the effect of hot shot, or make your main combo apply a dot or something else. GB and WM are both hosed, but that's almost an entirely different barrel of monkeys.

Apparently the Mac version is unusable to the point that people are attempting to get refunds. Perhaps this isn't surprising but pretty shameful if they're charging full price for it and the game doesn't run at all. Edit: And the game doesn't appear to run at all unless you change your OS X settings to allow apps to be run from anywhere since the app binary isn't from an identified developer. triple sulk fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Relic Quest 3.1 better involve flying and finding moogles hidden around the world that spawn once every seven hours for three minutes at a time to get Malachite Gems that you have to stick into an airship to get enough Aether to raise a stat by a point.

Stormgale posted:Auto attacks are potency 70 correct? Auto-attack potency is not a fixed number for each attack. It's actually 100 potency every 3 seconds, regardless of weapon speed. So the Hive Musketoon's auto-attacks are 100 * 2.64 / 3 = 88 potency.
