Here's another question: for DoTs in this game with a delay between the button press and the DoT effect appearing on the enemy, like Bio, does the DoT snapshot when you press the button or when the effect appears? Or, really, any attack with a lengthy animation between the button press and the actual hit?

Looks like for Sam it's Get Dot up ->Finish buffing -> pop Not perfect balance -> Sen -> Draw attack -> 2 sen ->do 2 combo for opener if I didn't mess up the math horribly

Did they ever mention anything about custom stats allocation with relation to smn/sch? Maybe it's not that big of a deal with future gear though.

That's the burden we're going to bear forever for getting two jobs by leveling one. The difference was already < half an accessory of mainstat at 270, so I imagine it'll be even less going forward.

Basically making all your actions +160 potency for 20 seconds (for a max of 1920 bonus potency due to the recast) is pretty cool. But Akh Morn is even cooler.

The quest for RDM leveling glamours continues. I wish there weren't those pink spots when dyed red. If only that green bit could be dyed a different color! Also, I kinda like those Yafaemi gloves for when I hit 60. (gotta cover up the hideous rings though) Still probably going with this though, just trying to figure out gloves. Also, does the Company hat look weird that way, in all black? I mean, ideally I could make it all red, but all black isn't too bad IMO. Too bad it needs 300k+ jet black dye to not have an obvious division. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 23:32 on May 31, 2017 |

Josuke Higashikata posted:WHM stuff is dull. WHM has good single target DPS (and AoE) but poor sustain MP-wise, so this helps with that I imagine. Combined with lower cooldowns on Assize (which you will now always get full benefit from on the heal and damage) via lillies, it will probably help a fair bit in terms of MP management.

Another Sam thought: At my current skillspeed (631/2.39 seconds) the refreshing of the dot is awkward due to how long it takes to do a full rotation for sens, you may want to reach a 2 second recast (with buff) to neatly fit dot + 3 sen rotations for Draw attack into a 60 second dot window

I had assumed that bahamut would just be out during every other dreadwyrm trance. On a similar note, aetherflow says it takes tridisaster off cd now, does that mean we can do TD every 30s?

SB monk changes look... hmm, yes lets reduce MNK potency because they're getting a minor group damage buff, because MNK damage is in such a good place right now. Meanwhile SAM looks like it's taking the "deal tons of damage but no party* utility" role. Gonna be fun to see SAM line up their skills so that they can break out 100k damage crits by the time 4.5 rolls around. * provides slashing debuff for NIN and tanks. Failboattootoot posted:Sam is... something else. They bring even less raid utility than HW era monks. I am excited to main sam and just be king poo poo of casual content damage meters though because lol at their potency values. WAR: Look at my Fell Cleave damage! BLM: Yeah well look at my Fire 4 damage! SAM: Hold my MNK: Bleu posted:I have discovered the Riddle of Earth. "Why would I play this job when I can use Braver every 9 GCDs" Don't forget the 940 potency DoT you'll only need to reapply once a minute, and that's before you buff it with Kaiten. YellerBill posted:Why would they give MNK a button that slows you down? I get that it adds damage but I like going fast dammit RDM looks fun but I guess if I want a new melee dps I'm going SAM It's impossible to say for sure without having played at level 70, but I suspect the slowdown doesn't change your MNK rotation at all, but you might not be able to use any other GCD (like ToD) during it or DK/TS might fall off before you reapply them. Unless you have a speed buff from AST or w/e.

It won't change your rotation, you'll just be moving slower than a dragoon and not even punching as hard as one.

The answer is simple: make the AST hold onto an arrow card to use on you when you activate Riddle of Fire.

I've been wondering if Riddle of Fire is going to mess with our rotation even more than we thought. With the 30% speed debuff is that going to have us drop DK or TS? I don't remember hearing about any sort of duration buff for those two.

Gonna be fun to see SAM line up their skills so that they can break out 100k damage crits by the time 4.5 rolls around. Current pre-4.0 monk numbers + new monk things would put monk personal DPS at extremely high levels, on par with Samurai's proposed numbers. The nerfed monk numbers put monk in the trashcan. Gonna suck really badly if they're the final numbers, which they probably aren't. Riddle of Fire is an excellent button for burst/cooldown sync windows and primarily useful for bursting with oGCDs, as the GCD slowdown lets you cleanly double weave. Using it without oGCDs to combo with makes the damage increase/GCD increase almost cancel each other out. The numbers for this from US/EU media tour data are very different from the liveletter numbers, where it was a 30% damage increase and a 15% GCD increase.

Which means bupkis, because any actual gains in stats from the offhand means all the fishing numbers are just going to be balanced upwards to offset. On the other hand, a tackle box would free up inventory space, and you can't put a stat value or gil cost on free inventory slots.
