SCH nerfs just make the class feel bad and boring to play. Instead of having to put some thought into the management of 3+ DoTs, just spam Ruin or Broil forever and run out of mana all the time unless I very carefully manage Aetherflow. Fun! I could switch to SMN to level, but they're almost as bad.

I guess I picked the wrong class to play when I got the game 3 weeks ago!

I don't know how anyone plays DPS with those 30+ minute queue times. Guess I'll level paladin since I don't have Dark Knight unlocked yet.

Also it's uncommon for queues to be quite this bad. Usually it's like 15-20 mins for 4-man dungeons, less for 8. Everything is poo poo right now because there's 2 new dps classes and like 1000 people are trying to level them

Summoner is boring but kills significantly faster than Scholar. Use it when solo.

I did a roulette last night with a RDM and noticed that they were constantly slowcasting the 5 second spells.

I looked at the parser afterwards and they had 45 uses of the first move of the melee combo, 15 of the second, and 3 of the finisher. all of this added up to less dps than my AST (and I didn't even have gravity because it was a level 50 dungeon)

Did they update ACT for stornblood? Mine still isn't' parsing nothin'.

it's not my job to sit here and do like an hour of math that you don't even care about to prove something that is literally easily observable but you're being deliberately obtuse in half of these. paladin is going to be leaps and bounds better than the other tanks come omega if the class does not get tweaked.

Thanks for assuming I didn't do a bunch of the math before the game launched because I was (and still am) real excited for paladin to not suck, and for assuming that the burden is on me when you're the one making the assertion that PLD is OP as hell without bothering to put together a coherent argument for it.

But mostly, thanks for agreeing that it's a (strong) possibility that if the class actually is overpowered they will tweak it, as they have done before.

I dunno, it went from "this is unplayable" to "this is 90% playable" pretty quickly over early access. I'm going to choose to be optimistic and believe that they'll get their poo poo together within like a week, especially as the surge of everyone trying to do the same poo poo at once simmers down a little.

So they didn't fully math out how their system works and as a consequence the ideal rotation is to deliberately do things the "wrong" way? Or would this have otherwise negative consequences on your dps output? I haven't redmaged yet so I'm not sure if don't this screws you in some other way.

yeah it doesn't seem like they fully mathed that bit out, your melee damage is gigantic so being able to get into it faster is a big deal. it's basically only useful for your first opener of a dungeon though, since it requires you starting at 0/0 and doing a finisher move puts you up 21 of one type.

It's also probably a bug and will be patched out soon

ACT is broken as gently caress atm, unless you're a class that doesn't use any of the new DOTs. Your best bet is to use this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1evZgz3QyiaHk1BhvFTC_8aQkhcGoXAze-22Ftw0LdQM/edit#gid=0

Make a copy of it for yourself, go do susano ex dummy and plug in your time. Normally there's a website for it, but he hasn't added the HP values yet. http://ffxiv.2digitalgames.de/

What's fulfilling is eating the tankbuster and laughing it off, either because you set up your mitigation properly, or because you're primed to top yourself/be topped off afterwards as a result. C'mon, first SB primal, you think tanks don't get a loving rush from the transition?

Earlier today I ran the 3rd SB dungeon and practically carried the instance: First boss killed the SCH at 60% health because he got the mechanic backwards :downs: so I had to PLD heal to keep everyone and myself up.
Second boss everyone stood around like an idiot for the last part while I did the right thing to get us through it.
Third boss everyone didn't look away for the confusion gaze so I had to retread the first boss keeping the healer up while getting beat on by the DPS (the melee dude died to stacked AoE's while smacking me in the shoulder. Should have looked away!)

Naturally I only got 1 comm for that run.

Good thing doing all of that is it's own reward :v:

Speaking as someone who started catgirl, went dragongirl, then went back to catgirl, Au Ra horns don't work too well with a lot of outfits and outfits that show a lot of skin can clash with their scales. You can make stuff work but it has its difficulties.
