Die Sexmonster! posted:Machinist is fine, delete everyone who says otherwise Machinist is fine to exist now that we're getting a third ranged physical dps and another gun class, but it's still niche as gently caress and not fun for a lot of people. Also wildfire is still the problem, not overheat, because the class was poo poo before overheat was introduced. Overheat is just the same thing as wildfire.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Machinist is fine to exist now that we're getting a third ranged physical dps and another gun class, but it's still niche as gently caress and not fun for a lot of people. wildfire is just a crappy damage buff overheat is a slightly better damage buff in that it applies to more than one target but you have to be actively managing it at all times so you don't accidentally use it early, you have little to no control over it from levels 52-69, you have to guess when it's about to go off due to server ticks, and when you're done using it you're punished with weak attacks for 10 seconds improve wildfire, ditch overheat imo alternatively get rid of wildfire, i don't particularly care, but the point is people tout wildfire as the reason mch is bad when, no, overheat is much worse

I was playing WHM and got synched down to 49 (Aurum Vale  ) and realized I didn't have lilies. I was surprised by how used to the lily mechanic I was, especially considering I usually heal as a SCH.

Kaubocks posted:wildfire is just a crappy damage buff I have an idea of how to fix Overheating-- get rid of the damage buff entirely, double Cooldown's damage (the above 50 heat version only), and buff Ammo damage. That way, Overheating is just a big "You hosed up your heat management, dummy" state, and the goal of proper heat management is chunking idiots with big, meaty heated Cooldown shots. Buff Ammo enough to make sure it's still worth using. Also make Wildfire an AOE. Either applies it in an AOE (and tracks damage individually on each target it hits) or make the big damage pop an AOE.

I'm in my mid-60s on my first character and so far Alisae is better than Alphinaud in every way, including dunking on him and Lyse at every opportunity. Also she pulled a sword out of a book so she's cool in my book

i noticed the other day that all my favorite characters in this game are elves (aymeric, haurchefant, estinien, the twins, urianger, briardien, stephanivien) i have two fantasia that have been sitting around in my retainer for years and i thought, maybe i should be an elf?  but nah, gently caress that, highlander for life

Speaking of, I really wish they'd have just left urianger in his post heavensward outfit rather than immediately having him revert to his aging 1.0 gear. He looked unique, particularly since all the other scions got makeovers. I also have no idea how he hides that giant hairdo in that hood.

they need to keep urianger in his crappy hood and goggles because otherwise he'd be too sexy all the time

Have a friend who started playing with the trial and now isn't sure which product to buy to keep playing. I see that there's a "Complete Edition" that comes with everything, even Shadowbringers, but I also heard from someone else that getting Shadowbringers wouldn't unlock any of the previous stuff until its actual launch. Is there any truth to that or would buying this allow them to play up through Stormblood right now?

Squenix doesn't charge for pre-orders until early access, which is why it won't count until then. Stupid system, but what can ya do.

In the 50s is the BLM rotation basically to spam fire until firestarter procs into fire 3 (keeping lightning on and hitting it when it procs)?

Eh, tbf this was a super baby 35 sprout in Brayflox (synced at 34 so no Blizz 3 nor firestarter proc). At that level I can totally understand the 3>1 mindset tbh. drat Dirty Ape posted:In the 50s is the BLM rotation basically to spam fire until firestarter procs into fire 3 (keeping lightning on and hitting it when it procs)? Yes, but do remember than Blizz 3 is cheaper and casts faster in Astral Fire 3, so you use Blizz 3 to go into your Umbral phase and not traspose (and likewise you use Fire 3 to go from Umbral to Astral before spamming F1 again). Reapply thunder during Umbral.

Kaubocks posted:wildfire is just a crappy damage buff we kind of agree, I was getting at wildfire was the first thing, and overheat is fundamentally bad for a lot of the same reasons wildfire is bad. Overheat was them doubling down on wildfire, which made MCH even worse. The difference is overheat can pretty easily become something better, namely with something like Cabbit posted:I have an idea of how to fix Overheating-- get rid of the damage buff entirely, double Cooldown's damage (the above 50 heat version only), and buff Ammo damage. That way, Overheating is just a big "You hosed up your heat management, dummy" state, and the goal of proper heat management is chunking idiots with big, meaty heated Cooldown shots. but I guess wildfire could also be fundamentally broken down and rebuilt. Both of them are what drags the class down right now, though. UHD posted:
