Same, but I haven't bought SB. Do the 3.x patch MSQ give out experience? If I can do them now without missing out on experience (locked to 60 with no XP gain until I buy SB), that would be nice, but if they'll give out XP i'll play with some other classes until I'm ready to buy SB.

They do. That's the reason why I bought SB to begin with. I tried leveling an alt for a few days but really wasn't feeling it. Fortunately SB went on sale around that time so I was able to grab it and go back to leveling my main.

3/8 of the time using Tachi + Enhanced Enpi doesn't break your combo because you are between combos! :pseudo:

You say that like using the backstep wouldn't be a bigger dps loss than either of those other two options.
Of the three choices you present, if it's a "when you use ability you get enmity reduction" type move I'll gladly take it as an addon to Meditate, but it'll probably be the backstep.

Ha ha nevermind.
Yeah this does not change how often I'm going to use merciful eyes at all, what junk.

I mean, on the upside if you happen to pull hate you can just keep using Merciful Eyes until you don't have hate.

On the downside, the only case this works in is *you have already pulled hate*.

Meanwhile, ninjas can now sprint while hidden I guess?

E: I can't really complain about several main combo attacks getting +20 potency and Third Eye going to 10% mitigation though, that's good stuff.

Just keep an eye on your enmity and pop it once or something if you see you're getting too close to the tanks. Missing one Seigan is going to cost you maybe 2 or 3 DPS over the lifetime of a fight, especially as Merciful Eyes doesn't consume any kenki.

Third Eye going to 10% is funny since I was already frequently the last DPS standing after raid busters, along with the two tanks. Now I always will be!

Klades

I'm mostly incredulous about it because I haven't had threat problems with diversion being a thing anyway unless a tank dies, and they go and attach the enmity reduction to the least useful SAM ability. Which doesn't make it any more likely that I'll press it, just less likely that it'll be sensibly pruned in 5.0.

As for the damage increases, well, it's definitely a buff, but it's apparently about a 2% increase so it's hard to feel terribly excited.

Looks closer to 5% potency increase per GCD over 8 GCDs but my math may be weird.

DRK changes are super weird. SE mentions how aware they are that we hate Dark Arts spam, but then they go and add bonuses to Plunge and Power Slash (???). They buff Dark Passenger's potency by 40, but then double the cooldown from 30s to 60s. I can't even begin to understand why they thought we needed Grit to cost less MP, but I guess I'll take it? At least Shadow Wall and Dark Mind got huge buffs, and Sole Survivor is even more free MP.

Well...

Power Slash already had a DA bonus which was a bunch of extra enmity. It's now just less of a DPS loss when you do it. The plunge one seems like it might be clunky but it's still the standard +140 so the main time you'll probably use it is on pull for a good threat starter.
Dark Passenger's cooldown change is a little odd, but at least using it is no longer an outright mistake most of the time since the cost/potency ratio is the same as most DA usages.

Time for silly and dumb plot predictions by your friendly neighbourhood skullcrusher:

SE loves playing voice clips out of context in their trailers, so I'm going to assume Yotsuyu isn't rambling "I'm sorry" because she got her memories back, but because she did something really dumb - and I'm going to say it's summoning a primal because her jackass brother hid crystals in her mirror. I'm also going to assume Gosetsu dies before this happens so she's sufficiently traumatized. So Yotsuyu is going to summon a primal... and it's going to be Primal Gosetsu, akin to Enkidu and Ge Bu's Titan, and we're going to have to fight it in one of the most hosed up plot twists in XIV's history.

Can't touch this.
No really, you can't
Power Slash now gets the same potency bonus under dark arts that Souleater does in addition to generating One Metric Fuckton of enmity, so that's a nice buff. The response to "less dark arts pls" being "plunge now gets a dark arts bonus" is kinda lolworthy, but between that and sole survivor being usable on bosses it can only be good for DRK's personal damage.

The dark mind + shadow wall buffs seem kinda nuts, also? Like IMO DRK's mitigation was fine before with TBN and the old dark mind, but you're gonna have shadow wall + TBN up for drat near every buster now.

Dark Passenger in single target is still not worth it (barring using it to avoid overcapping or squeezing a tiny bit more damage into group buffs) because it isn't effected by slashing debuff. It's an even bigger gain in aoe, though, so that's nice. DA Plunge seems like it's mostly going to be used to pick up adds.

Am I reading this right in that each 360-370 upgrade requires a run of both the new raid and the old one?

DRK: Fairly pleased with some of the changes, mostly the decreased shadow wall cd and plunge not having that weird animation lock on it. Sole Survivor not being completely useless is nice I guess.

MNK: Lol at purification getting the enmity drop. I don't really understand the Brotherhood effect, but I guess it means more chakra stuff.
