Serious post: It sucks Scholar lost so much of its damage kit. Art of War doesn't look or feel very scholar-y, and I'd rather they have DoT AoEs rather than Scholar Holy. I get that they're trying to make the healer damage kits more equal, but the way they've gone about it is dumb. They've basically given every healer the exact same kit, and while that makes some sense for WHM and AST, SCH did have a very different kit, and I would have rather seen them keep that. I can see where WHM's stronger spells and AST's weaker spells but card buffs makes sense for both their kits. SCH doesn't look like SCH any more. And regarding Scholars heals: I sincerely hope hey nerfed them enough that SCH no longer has a permanent spot in raid groups. SCH should be good, but they've had a near-permanent spot in raids since ARR.

Gorelab posted:The WHM changes mostly look good to me. The AST ones look like they make sense, but that the new cards could use something to give them a little bit more zing. I always thought that the class mechanic should have something to do with switching stances. Have like a Waxing and Waning phase.

I honestly have no idea how old the twins are, except that it's more or less (??? + I Don't Know.) They are probably somewhere in between seventeen and twenty-one.

Yoshi P may have ruined *insert class here* but at least he's a really good person quote:To touch on the second part of your question about gender restrictions, first and foremost, I think there should be freedom in your values when it comes to the different genders. We don’t want to restrict attire and clothing that you wear based on characters’ gender or sex.

I like that child minfilia, despite not having an actual job, is still infinitely more useful than older minfilia. Expecting her to be a caster and instead just decides to stab poo poo

Solo Wing Pixy posted:I can read numbers, and either they're lying about healing checks being harder (in which case why gut healer damage and buff options?) or SCH is going to have huge trouble keeping up. Has anyone from SE actually said they intend to increase damage/healing checks? I've only seen people speculating that they would.

Blockhouse posted:Encyclopedia Eorzea says they're sixteen Okay, so (16 + However Long It's Been, Which Is At Least Two But Last Time I Checked Was Officially A Number Much Smaller Than Could Possibly Make Sense). So they're at least eighteen but probably not twenty-one, so Thancred is probably too old for them since he's at least an old man of 28 and possibly older. Most of the other Scions are the usual improbably-young anime people, though. Is anybody else over 30 except Urianger?

I'm pretty disappointed in the SCH leaks being accurate, but enough's been said on that already. As for BLM, am I the only one a little disappointed with how much button bloat they're allowing to occur? Not only have they not gotten rid of the incredibly obvious cuts like the Enochian/Blizz 4 situation, or Blizz 2 and Scathe, they're adding even more spells that we'll need to press in a hurry like Despair and Xenoglossy. I guess that itself isn't a huge concern, but with their functions being so similar to the AOE equivalents (and Freeze essentially replacing Blizz 4 in AOE) I almost wonder if the class would be better off with an "AOE stance" button that just converts all the relevant spells to their AOE equivalents. Is there any reason to cast Foul on a single target anymore, for example? Also I think Flare might be replacing Fire 3 as the "switch to Astral Fire" spell, if it's free to cast in Umbral Ice?

Clarste posted:I'm pretty disappointed in the SCH leaks being accurate, but enough's been said on that already. Yeah, I'm done yelling about SCH too, since the goon consensus on it is obviously not the same as mine. There's not much more to be said besides that the changes are incredibly crippling both mechanically and in playstyle, but I guess it's WHM's turn and maybe they'll unfuck some things to just make it more boring instead of broken. BLM button bloat honestly doesn't seem terrible to me, though I'm not a BLM main. At least on controller, most of it splits fairly well down the middle into fire phase stuff/ice phase stuff, with oGCDs and stuff on the XHB and shoved off to the left trigger. It might seem more of a pain on keyboard, I'm not sure.

Yes, he is. But I totally disagree with him on this: "In terms of values and our players, it’s a time when there’s a lot of changes in perspectives, but we can’t ignore the people who refuse to make changes in their values." Yes, we can and we should.

Cabbit posted:Fire 3 is faster than Flare so I doubt it. The less time you spend in UI the better. The difference between the two is around .20 for 20 more potency so let the math nerds figure it out, but as soon as a 2nd target is present, Flare will 100% be the correct choice to switch with in Shadowbringers.

I never really felt like BLM had too much button bloat. I'm surprised Blizzard 2 is going unchanged but it basically means I can drop it from my bar without concern. Wouldn't Despair be replacing Fire 3, not Flare in that case? (At least for single target.)

Basically as far as I can tell our base rotation is now about the 3 overheat phases we have every minute, with us just overlapping WF and Queen on top of one of them. Heat Blast is what we want to be spamming during overheat and that generates no heat or battery, so all heat/battery gen will be outside overheat. So yeah, the 150 heat takes into account the fact that we're not building any during OH.
