AST is very cool but my thing is that it has so many buttons dedicated to the card system, which is just kind of boring? I don't know enough about the math to suggest balance changes but they should punch up the visual effects when you give someone a card. Like, balance would do a ff7 style limit break power up animation or something - people should feel like badasses when they get a card from you even if the actual effect isn't that major.

Whining aside, last night I ran my first dungeon with SAM 62, and holy poo poo does improved kenki generation make this way more fun. Too much fun, actually, I need to do a bit of reading and start practising weaving Shintens between combo actions because there was a point I had so much poo poo lit up that I had no idea what to hit next.

AST looks super intimidating when you start getting your un-x actions, but after a while you realise you kinda never use them. There's a point to be made about undraw before you get Redraw/Minor Arcana, but for RR you can just overwrite it, and there's no reason to delete a spread when you can just cast it instead (undraw spread triggers the cooldown, so it's not like you can erase one and then immediately spread something over). I'm with you on the effects though, I think most of the times I slap a card on someone they don't even notice. Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Nov 13, 2018 |

When I'm on PLD and I know there's a big pack spawn coming up (like near the end of the Aery, for instance), I'll throw cover on the healer (who almost always has regens running) and just let all the mobs come to them instead of running around to gather them up, so sometimes cover is a matter of convenience.

Cabbit posted:SAM top tip: your full three combo sequence always generate enough kenki for one shinten and one weaponskill buff, even if you botch your positionals. That's good to know. Let's see if I'm reading the number's correctly: If I have 3 sen up (and I don't have the Sen -> Kenki skill yet or it's on cooldown) and enough kenki for both Shinten and Kaiten, I should go for a boosted Midare over Shinten -> Midare, right? It's 300 potency on the Shinten at 25 kenki vs 360 "extra" on the Midare for 20, but I'm not sure if Shinten being OGCD tips the scales in its favour.

That's correct; using the weaponskill buff on an Iaijutsu is a better play than using Shinten, but Hagakure (the Sen-to-Kenki) skill is a better play than using Midare. That's the basic interplay of the spec-- you want all your Iaijutsus to be buffed with Kaiten, but you want to keep Hagakure on CD and always use it with three Sen (and always keep a buffed Higanbana on the target, because Higanbana does more damage than a Midare for just one Sen). The endgame rotation ends up using Midare a lot less because of Hagakure, and Shinten a lot more-- turning Sen into Shinten is a DPS gain over turning them into a Midare, on account of Shinten being an OGCD. But, when you have to turn three Sen into an Iaijutsu because Hagakure is down, Kaiten beats Shinten. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Nov 13, 2018 |

Edmond Dantes posted:That's good to know. Kaiten + Higan/Midare > Shinten Being oGCD doesn't come into play because you are doing the Midare anyway, so that GCD is being happening either way. Think of it as combining a Midare and a Shinten AND 60 more potency into a single GCD that you were going to do anyway AND you save 5 kenki which after 5 rounds will equal a free Shinten

Should I care about the "open eyes" stuff? Seems to be more... "of opportunity" than something you can rely on.

Proper Seigan use is a very small DPS gain. I keep Third Eye and Merciful Eyes on my bars because the less healing my idiot rear end needs the more time the healer can spend throwing rocks at the boss, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's a bigger raid DPS gain than using Seigan.

Edmond Dantes posted:Should I care about the "open eyes" stuff? Seems to be more... "of opportunity" than something you can rely on. You should. They're great for the unavoidable/regular AoEs. Merciful has also, on occasion, bought just enough time thru the enmity drop for the dead tank to get Raised and back to tanking. Outside of that, it can be good when the tank overfocuses on DPS than enmity.

Oh that's right, they added a threat drop to Merciful too. Definitely use that.

Merciful is also really nice during things like the divebombs w/ lightning in O10S. Midgardsormr is still in the target list so you get free healing and an enmity drop.

Giving the potential for a badass stat roll just means that light continues being a sort of meaningful reward way longer than it would have otherwise.

It's 385 and we're past the point where you should already have a (probably) better 390 weapon anyway. The random stats can at least lead to maybe some truly comedic stats somewhere. I'm really hoping to get something with 600+skill speed on my samurai. I can already get the gcd down to 1.39 I think it was with enhanced arrow, want to break that 1 second mark and just have all the sen.

If you time it well you can also get several Mercifuls from the small dragon's rime wreaths. On more than one occasion I've gone from flashing orange agro on Middy at the jump to green by the time he gets back. Use third eye for damage as much as you can get away with, but don't be shy about getting the -enmity from Merciful when you are doing well and climbing that hate list.
