The Great Twist

Minrad posted:


- Secret of the Lily II is still awful. Why critical HP AND RNG? Even if people are getting that low reliably, sometimes they just need a Regen/Medica II to top them off and if it's the tank, the other healer might snipe it without a bunch of coordination, and even then the pay off is a gamble for little benefit. A 100% chance for 1 second off when you heal critical HP would be bad, but at least reliable, with the same net benefit.

Restoring critical HP just means critting a heal, not healing someone when they're near dead.

It's still bad though.

oh right, i forgot about 14's fucky wording.

Honestly, that might actually be worse than what I was thinking it was. At least some fight where your tank is constantly near death could theoretically give you a bunch of assize spam. :v:

The upside is that it seems like WHM will have no mana problems in Stormblood, between more assize, the occasional free AoE heal, and a better refresh.

I mean, we had Beam Struggle at the end of Donut Scathe. I am _all_ for having to stack up multiple people to block a sword and then having to decide, "Do we allocate an extra DPS to help block and get a little extra time on the countdown, or do we hold them out to DPS the sword down faster"? That sounds like a great expansion of the basic mechanic to me.

Would you rather they did what WoW did, by having lesser versions of "stupid maintenance spells" on scrolls?

I mean, at least we're not looking at Blessing of Kings/Mark of the Wild (and woe when those two were still distinct from eachother) Arcane Intellect, and Power Word: Fortitude.


At least the subreddit posts maintenance Au Ra. :pervert:

Last patch resulted in something even better. Maintenance Roes.

Am I reading this right? 1 am PST? Right before everything goes down.

Looks like it's 6 PM PST. The site should be displaying the time listed based on your location. For example, I see 9 PM and I am EST.

If you are not logged in to the site it defaults to GMT.

AST/WHM is pro tier combo for Susano.

Thinking about it, I'm a little less down on the White Mage changes. It's still not amazing, but their heals have been buffed and they have enough oGCDs that I can see Assize/Asylum having the room to just pop whenever they're available. You can get a little bit more burst/MP regen out of it.

Was I wrong in thinking that just gaining the Lily is what reduced the cooldown before? Or was that what the old tooltip suggested?

The very first look at the lily mechanic suggested that it reduced the cooldown of the next spell cast. There was never any passive reduction.

Help a hero out!
According to the RDM discord the MP cost of some your damage spells has been reduced (Vercure and Verraise are still MP hogs though), so that's nice. This might be weirdness though because these are sorta reverse-engineered based on speculated stuff from being level 63 in the E3 demo, but still possibly neat.

Additionally Verflare and Verholy are no longer "combo actions" and instead are simply available for 30 seconds after using Enhanced Redoublement. Basically this means you can hold your Flare/Holy cast for a bit to either use it during specific phases, to fix your mana before casting it, or... probably other things. The tooltip is still SORTA ambiguous so we'll see but this seems right.

On a less neat front, some nerfs from what we knew before:

- Verholy and Verflare have their "Verfire/Stone Ready" proc reduced from 30% to 20% when you have even mana. Minor weird thing.
- Much bigger thing, Scatter (100 potency AoE, generates 3/3 mana) now has its Enhanced Scatter (same potency, 8/8 mana) proc chance at 25%. This is a pretty hefty nerf to AoE since it means you get your sword AoE much less often.
- Sticking with AoE nerfs, Conte Sixte now has Flare-style AoE dropoff.
- Embolden reduced from a 20% decaying self-buff to a 10% decaying buff.

Except that every class that does that debuff WANTS to apply that debuff.

WAR does it in 2 GCD's and the third is their old Maim buff so they're going to use it.
NIN has their Shadow Fang dot applied to it so they want to use it.
SAM has one of their Sen combo's applying it so it's guaranteed on their end as well.

Also with how everyone now has to build a meter it doesn't matter if said debuff goes up in the first 10 or so GCD's :v:
