You can guess at skinchange fairly quickly and when the differences are obvious it's an easy win.

No changes to machinist because it's already perfect :getin:

drat, I liked Vase Off, it was a guaranteed win if you knew how the NPC patterns worked. :rip:

Also, the trick to Skinchange is to pay attention to little details, like facial features, jewelry, and weapons. One time I had a pattern where the only difference was the gem's color in their sword hilt.

Oh, I'm well aware of what I was getting myself into with that... but card games.

Depending on how expensive Typhon is and how generous the Mini is, I can probably make that up in a few weeks. Doing all the different events and challenges really adds up quickly.

Why does Yoshi-P hate Summoner?

SMN has been the unfavorite job of the devs since launch, complete with eating more nerfs than every other job put together in Stormblood.

As someone who mostly plays and enjoys SMN, this is really close to being my proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. Endless minor nerfs get really frustrating after a while even if they don't add up to much. Plus I'm kinda tired of depressing endings; if I wanted that I could just turn the news on.

Summoner is the highest personal dps in the game, aren't they? Radiant not reflecting is hardly going to be the thing that kills the job's viability.

What SMN nerf am I missing, beyond the damage reflect thing? That seems like a total non-issue. I'd understand some negativity if they changed something so the % effect was small but the gameplay got noticeably worse, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

But yay for RDM buffs.

SMNs been in a really good place for a while, though it was kind of rough at patch launch

radiant shield is like 150 dps in most fights, with UwU exception because of tumult memes, it should still be pretty good with the other casters being more competitive but also jesus christ this game is actually close enough in balance the only people that should care are WF racers and people very determined to get Static Speed Rankings or w/e

I'm currently at 998,206 MGP after buying all of the stuff I wanted, so that's a bit disheartening.

Speaking of which, only one more card to go before I have 230. Too bad that the end of the tournament coincides with patch day, so I'll still immediately be five cards behind.

There was no real reason to change it, is the thing. It just kind of feels like such an arbitrary nerf that it's almost vindictive.

If they wanted to do away with stupid bullshit like pet swap openers, they could have just made Garuda a more appealing choice rather than making Ifrit shittier.

I swear, the Skallic Fending chest is my white whale; I've probably run Skalla maybe 20 times by now and still haven't seen it drop. I guess the Casting chest counts as a second, smaller white whale, but I also don't run it as caster so I can't exactly complain about it.

I haven't seen the Nomad's Fending chest until now but I think that might be my third, off-white cetacean to hunt.

It adds up really quickly if you're just dilligent. Verminion and Yugioh tournaments are an easy 50k mgp each whenever one happens, and the challenge log is nothing to sneeze at. Chocobo challenge races also have a bonus 600k or something squirrelled away if you're willing to put up with that. Plus, now that Fashion Report has been nerfed to the point of comedy, that's another free 60k every week.

Fair enough. Although I guess if pet swap openers are why they change it, I wouldn't call it arbitrary (vindictive I can kind of see, as in "you're not playing like we want you to so there, deal with this!", which they've done before).

The lovely pet system is one of the reasons why I don't play summoner anymore.
