yeah The Levin is associated with purple in FFXIV so it may be that. I hope it is personally, but I guess we'll see!

They have said absolutely nothing about skill changes yet, as far as I'm aware.

They specifically said a few months back that thunder was getting consolidated into one spell with traits as you level replacing 2/3.

This needs to happen with Ruin 1 - 3 also.

Ruin 1-3 are very different spells, although they could probably get rid of Ruin 2 and make Ruin 1 instant. Broil could be merged with Ruin 1 as well.

The real offender is Stone 1-3.

(Or, better, just add a trait at the level you get Ruin 2 that makes Ruin 1 instant)

It's one less button?

You can't consolidate Ruin 3 with the others without ruining SMN's current MP management dynamic, but nobody would miss Ruin 2 if they just made Ruin 1 become instant with a trait.

I meant why not just make Ruin 1 instant like in the post which was quoted? Why do we need a trait at level X instead of just making it a part of their kit?

They should screw the slow effect and trait all of them too.

e: on a semi-related note, they should replace the sound effects for stone 2 and 3. 2 sounds like it has so much more weight behind it.

I mean, you could do it that way, but I personally like the feeling of gaining new abilities and tools as I level up. Plus starting with Ruin 1 as a cast trains you to assume most GCD skills are cast rather than instant, which is true for ACN/SMN, and then it feels like a reward when you get to a high enough level that it becomes instant. (I can see an argument that this should be earlier than level 38, but IMO it should at least be after you get the whole Bio/Bio II/Miasma set.)

Dead weight, just like this post.



Playing on PS4 it's at least very obvious the moment you gain aggro since the controller's speaker lets out a loud rear end Schwing noise. Although it's the same noise that's made whenever a limit break bar is filled as well so it kinda doesn't work out the greatest sometimes.

They could keep the color system as it is now, but have it be around your health bar or something like they do in WOW, if you have the orange aura that means you're about to pull off the tank and if you're red you're dead.

That awesome dance party reminded me: how do people sync up emotes? I'm assuming that one was done in /gpose, but I see people in Limsa while walking around who have synced their emotes perfectly. How are they doing it?

Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess.
If you load into an area and two people are doing the same emote they'll be synced, that might have been what you saw.

As a reminder, anyone interested in attempting to learn the EX Warring Triads today, we'll be starting from 3pm EDT/8pm BST, which is in an hour. I'll be putting out a call in the cross-FC linkshell at that point, or you can whisper Erna Breaker directly in abut 45 minutes.

Please make sure you can get on Discord if you're up for this, because we're probably going to need voice comms if we want to not just wipe repeatedly. :v:

jyrque, Truga and Waci, let me know your in-game names so I can give you priority if we somehow have more than 7 people interested.

e; I'm Erna Breaker ingame, just to make it easier.
