the healers are all fine right now, play what you like WHM has the best mana efficiency, the biggest heals, and the highest personal dps, all of which may or may not make up for the complete absence of utility. SCH has a gigantic toolbox of mitigation and free healing oGCDs between itself and the fairy, which come at the cost of underwhelming healing GCDs that run you dry if you/your cohealer are bad. AST has Expanded Balance.

Replying late but Scholar even feels great in dungeons minus your aoe damage. AST and WHM have neat tricks to stack hots or use bene and all that, whereas SCH can use Whispering Dawn / Excog / Rouse / Lustrate to never have to cast a heal. It all feels fine, it's just that the dps numbers are off for the moment. In 8 man I'd much rather play Scholar than the others right now.

SwissArmyDruid posted:That's great to hear. What's a Wildfire rotation look like now, and how did you survive until 62? I'm still refining how I wildfire especially WRT using Flamethrower, but the best results seem generally as follows- On pull you hot shot, hypercharge, stabilize, reload, split, slug, split, rapidfire, wildfire, burn oGCDs while doing clean, QR, slug, reassemble, clean, then return to normal rotation. Don't overheat. Use reassemble on procced heated clean at best, heated cooldown or heated slug at worst. Before the next wildfire at 1 minute you should reload and split, slug, split to set up your procs and do as above without the hypercharge. again, don't overheat. The minute 2 wildfire (and every 2 minutes after that) is the money shot. Shortly before wildfire comes up, get to 90/95 heat, hypercharge, reload, split/slug/split, rapid fire, reassemble, then Flamethrower for a tick to overheat. Wildfire, clean/slug/clean/cooldown/cooldown while dumping oGCDs. As soon as you can, put barrel back on, stabilizer, and resume. Then you do the one minute wildfire, then the two, etc. repeat ad nauseum. Remember during all of these to QR after the first clean and before the slug so you get a 2nd clean. If you gently caress up and overheat without stabilizer, use flamethrower to get back up to 50, then use something else to overheat for your 2 minute wildfire if its down. Hot shot or something I guess. If you gently caress-up overheat and DON'T have flamethrower or stabilizer, tough loving titties, work your way up with the normal rotation, it doesn't seem to be worth spamming hot/spread shot to heat quickly. As for surviving to 62, I just put on Gauss Barrel whenever it comes off due to overheating and ignore the mechanic entirely otherwise. (In fact, if I'm in spoopyboat dungeon and synced to 62 I'll deliberately always overheat if no wildfires are coming up, and just spam cooldown during the overheat if I don't have any shots procced, heated cooldown hits pretty hard) Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jul 11, 2017 |

ZenMasterBullshit posted:AST actually has more cards now that you can't click off sub-optimal RR effects. Play the hand you're dealt (Except Spear through that in minor arcana that poo poo's next to useless.) I don't really follow this. If anything, I've found Royal Road being something you can't remove means you're pinholed into being the Balance bitch more than before. I mean, you can overwrite a RR effect, so if you get one you don't like in Sleeve Draw, you can just overwrite it later; nothing gained nothing lost. The cooldown on Minor Arcana is so short that there's no reason not to put cards in there that aren't Balance (I guess Arrow is okay too).

So if I'm reading things correctly, if I'm playing on Balmung and a friend wants to try the game and join me, we're hosed right? There's no way he can come with me or me joining him without leaving balmung? (Aside from cross world instances and what not)

yeah, sleeve draw will put something in your held slot, so if you sleeve draw immediately after casting a expanded balance, you'll usually be given a card that isn't balance to play. which is nice, the other cards were getting lonely. i'll sometimes use an empowered/extended bole on the tank, or ewer on myself, if sleeve draw deals me the relevant cards too. e: i don't main ast though

The answer to that is actually to not use sleeve draw until you fill your held slot with something you plan on using.

Does any job besides monk, ninja, or casters actually care about Arrows? Because I usually just throw one on myself if I'm unsure but I don't wanna be the rear end in a top hat costing the rando dragoon his deeps.

My understanding was that bard, machinist, and dragoon don't give a poo poo, but that was in HW; I had no idea if Stormblood changed the math or if samurai would benefit.

I think they made all the tp rotations cheaper that jobs won't run out of TP in normal gameplay, so arrow is just a lesser balance in most situations. If you can't find balance, you might as well arrow it.

Think SAM would benefit since more haste = more combos = more Kenki and Midare. Only time I see it being an issue is in AoE, but it would either need to be an exceptionally long AoE phase and/or bad timing with Invig already on cooldown.

Apologies in advance if this is in the OP (I looked) but is this game suitable for a solo that just wants to do an hour a night and see the narrative? Never going to raid, have high end gear, meet on a specific schedule etc. Neet a new game and maybe an MMO will bring back that "this is so big and unknown" feeling MUD's and EQ1 gave me

Arrow is also very good for MCH to get extra stuff in during wildfire, and it is certainly better than nothing on a BRD. The only real concern with using on Arrow on some classes was TP management. I think that is a lot better in Stormblood in general now? Unless resource management is a concern arrow is always a DPS increase and there really is not reason not to use it. It might not be as good as a Balance but if you get one you might as well use it.
