I realize that as their audience also encompasses countries that do not use a western alphabet, they couldn't go on to E or F without actually risking that someone wouldn't know what E or F was.

But it would have amused me greatly if they had gone A B X Y L R.


I guess this way lets you set up complicated strategies for PF groups where you can tell people to run to different spots by symbol or color (now that we have two reds and two yellows). That's the only thing I can think of

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world
I'm really confused by Thundercloud in Stormblood because it seems that both Thunder 1 and Thunder 2 treat the proc chance as 10% but Thunder 4 treats the proc chance as 3%. Are they mining the old Thunder 2 tooltip there or something?

Most likely. That or the reduced proc chance is to make up for having Flare and Foul in your aoe kit later

So, the only new crafting/gathering scrips, Yellow ones, will have no weekly cap. The notes don't mention the future addition of a different color. Is this similar to how Blue and Red scrips were initially handled, or does it seem like they might just not be interested in the weekly caps for DoH/DoL this time around?

If I was a betting man, I'd say there'll be another scrip with a cap released alongside capped tomestones.

oh wait am i misunderstanding what that means

i assumed it meant if you're level 20 outside potd, inside you can only access skills up to level 20, which would mean the 51+ floors are going to be super garbage

am i misunderstanding what role actions are

Completely. Role actions are not class/job actions.

Role actions are the 5ish abilities that you pick that are shared between jobs. Your class and job skills will work the same in potd as they do now.

I think they said in one of the media events that they're just flat-out not doing scrip caps anymore. Though I guess they could change their mind.

Onslaught
Rushes target and delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: Increased enmity
Beast Gauge Cost: 20
Can only be executed while under the effect of Defiance or Deliverance.
Cannot be executed while bound.

Upheaval:
Delivers an attack with a potency of 300.
Potency decreases as own HP decreases. Potency also affected by maximum HP-increasing effects granted to self.
Beast Gauge Cost: 20
Can only be executed while under the effect of Defiance or Deliverance
Ignores the damage penalty inflicted by Defiance.

Shake It Off
Removes most all detrimental effects.
Can be executed while under the effect of action-inhibiting statuses.

Internal Release
Halves Beast Gauge costs and nullifies Stun, Sleep, Bind, Heavy, knockback, and draw-in effects.
Duration: 20s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Deliverance. Effect is canceled if Deliverance ends.
Shares a recast timer with Unchained.
Beast Gauge Cost: 20

1) Here's hoping that Beast Gauge state doesn't zero out when zoning into stuff.
2) If it doesn't, "REMEMBER TO KILL SOME poo poo BEFORE WE QUEUE"
3) Upheaval sounds like it increases in damage with regard to the HP increase given by Defiance and maybe Thrill of Battle.
