As someone who leveled summoner 50-60 in the last week of heavensward and leveled it to 70 as my second stormblood class, summoner does feel much easier to be decent at to me. After changing potency values around so that doing what the class seems to want you do is actually optimal, the only other change I would make as a new summoner is make it so whiffed aetherflows still give dreadwyrm stacks. I find everything else about playing the class (badly, presumably) to be fun Sucks that the changes that made it more fun for me made it less fun for career summoners

For the whiffing problem they should just make it so that fester does damage no matter what, like 100 potency base plus 100 for each dot, or just make it 300 potency regardless of dots. For bane they should make it so that the duration refresh proc is guaranteed, and that's what gives you aethertrail.

Stop rewarding tanks/healers! We all put in the same effort. This applies mostly to tanks, but on occasion healers. Some of us generally dislike the way tank and healer roles play. I dont think its fair to constantly reward those roles with bonus items (ie: cracked clusters, mounts, gil,etc.) They already have various rewards at their disposal. They do not need MORE. If anything, DPS deserve MORE. We're the ones that have to sit through outrageously long queue times and we put in the exact same amount of time and effort (if not more) than any other role in the duty. In the interest of fairness, start making some rewards for DPS or stop doing this. (To the posters after me, flame away, I'll not be reading the remainder of this thread as it is personal feedback and my piece has been said.)

I find everything else about playing the class (badly, presumably) to be fun SMN is far behind BLM which is far behind RDM in the current EX primals at all skill levels. Just look at fflogs. https://www.fflogs.com/statistics/15#bracket=1 On the absolute best parses SMN is 10% below RDM. That ratio maintains itself as you go down the percentiles. We need to see what balance changes they make in 4.05. RDM has the best utility and the best DPS right now amongst the casters so hopefully that means that they'll do something.

I expect very, very few changes that address mechanics in 4.05 (and quite possibly the entirety of 4.X). SE just doesn't really do those mid-expansion, the only ones I can think of are 2.0 Warrior getting a bunch of poo poo. I expect that if you aren't enjoying a job now you won't enjoy it post 4.05 unless your sole issue was balance.

nuru posted:Why can I only find a single Carbuncle House item on GarlandTools then? That's why I'm confused. If I search "Carbuncle" the only exterior results are "Carbuncle ______ Walls". The prototype adds the housing project to the workshop, so once it's unlocked you can build the exterior. Each housing exterior is made up of multiple slots, but with the special houses you have to use all of them with no customization. Go to your company workshop, check out the crafting log, and look at the Full Estate Exteriors. You'll have a list of Small ____ Walls, Medium ______ Walls, etc. Grab the carbunkle one you want, and you're going to have ~8 parts, with 3 phases each. This will show you the materials for each part, for each phase. Then once you begin the project, you'll have to go through each one.

Augus posted:i thought doomspike was not worth it on a group of 3 mobs? pretty sure it isn't Doom Spike on 3 mobs is 390 potency per use, or 1160 after three, which is greater than a full thrust combo. It may do less damage now, but it also costs less tp than it used to, so it still remains in your best interest to use it.

Sinteres posted:Now that I'm hitting 70 in my gathering classes, would I be better off buying a set of hq gear off the mb before trying to farm up a bunch of scrip, or would a full set of level appropriate trash with maybe hq tools be good enough? If you go for full HQ gear (left side, right side, and tools), you can keep it unmelded and just use the gathering food that is on a vendor at Kugane and be just at the perfect stats to be able to collect from every single yellow node. What I did was just use level 65 gear to farm all the mats for my DoH/DoL gear (which actually didn't take too long at all), and then crafted all my gear up. Better than paying the MB prices.

nuru posted:Ah! I see why I was confused, garland was combining the sub-crafts into the main one and I didn't expand the view. I built a small item shop in about a week or two, and I had some FC mates helping out with the material gathering. We don't have the carbunkle walls unlocked so I can't personally look at the list in game, but it will solely depend on the stuff you need to put into it. There's no cooldowns or time gating, so it'll be as fast as you can hammer the materials into the blender.

I don't doom spike at 3 enemies because it's boring, barely an advantage, and if there's only three enemies that means the tank is slow pulling and I have to deal with a bunch of pulls, meaning that if I doom spike now I won't have TP for the next pull

Any hourly food you can give them in the stable is going to give the same exp. Then there are the special foods. You can feed your bo the special foods when you have it summoned to give it a buff. Feed 10 of the food in the stable to get a double buff when you feed it outside. I use slykis bud (attack up) personally. The experience up food is Curiel Root.

The gently caress are you on about. I pulled everything up to the first boss, double pulled twice with those super annoying frogs, and did the last magitek field room in two instead of four pulls, and pulled the skeletons and drakes in the final corridor in a single instead of double pull. The only time I single pulled was right before the second boss with the annoying ghosts that are a huge pain to move around because they're ranged.

It should be worth noting that Curiel Root only affects experience gains through combat, after you summon your chocobo and use one. It doesn't affect Challenge Log or Feeding yields, which are going to be the bulk of your gains by far. Curiel Root is also still gardening exclusive, where as every other buff food can be bought through the Vath shop at pretty inexpensive prices.

He did say that they fixed the things he initially found, it just turned out there was another way to do it. Every change is client side unless you do one specific thing, and they probably won't patch it because there are more important things to worry about. If you could use it to change things like body features or things you need a fantasia for they'd probably care since that's essentially hacking your way around spending $10, but as it is now I imagine that they don't care at all.
