I'm getting MNK to level 90 (currently 87) and liking the changes: I'm glad that they got rid of most of the oGCDs and the blitzes make the job quite interesting to use, so overall I am very positive about the changes and the way the job handles. On the other hand, downsynched MNK at level 50 sucks a huge amount of balls now, even compared to level 50 MNK before the changes. Basically, it used to be that level 50 MNK used to have a mostly feature complete set of skills that didn't really change the feel of the job and the only thing that you unlocked was the ability to apply Formless Fist at level 52 (which just made your initial rotation smoother, as well as allowing you to continue comboing even after a cutscene) and a whole host of oGCDs and damage buffs. Since your PB window was exactly the same at level 50 as it would be at 80 (DK -> BS three times) and there was never a situation where you could gain Formless Fist at either level, the burst window felt fine and there weren't many issues with it, because if you hated the fact that PB pulled you out of the combo, you would hate it at any level higher than 50, regardless. Now, however, at level 50 since you haven't unlocked blitzes yet, but have unlocked PBs, you have to do two completely different burst windows pre level 60 versus level 50. Basically, at level 50 you do the old rotation of just DK -> BS three times, albeit you have to remember to press PB again after you finish the first PB window, which is annoying in itself. But this is completely different to the blitz PB window and in comparison, makes the level 50 PB feel like complete rear end, especially due to the lack of Formless Fist at the end of either PB window. It's made me really detest getting downsynched as MNK, when before EW it never really did that much of a difference if you went to level 50.

i don't really understand the appeal that people see in dot-based classes. dots are plain terrible in all forms of side-content in XIV. in bozja, skirmishes can be over in less than half of the pre-buff bard dot durations. in potd and hoh, every non-boss mob dies before your dots are even halfway ticked down. frontloading your damage is sincerely rewarded in all side-content. so the only encounters that can be potentially rewarding for heavy dot users are duo or trio bosses in dungeons/trials/normal/alliance raids. but, most of those specifically prevent you from applying dots to more than one boss enemy. in the nier raids, you can't apply any damage to a non-imprinted boss on the triple superior flight unit fight. on the hansel & gretel fight, the shielded enemy ignores any damage over time effects. in o12, you're imprinted again to only be able to damage one or the other. are people just pining to be warlocks? i actually don't get it.

I don't enjoy dots when they're something to manage on a class that's otherwise not really about dots (which is unfortunate because that is extremely common in FFXIV, but I've made my peace with that). I do think that actual dot-focused classes can be fun, though, when managing the dots is kinda your whole thing. I like how GW2 handles dots: they tend to have very short durations but dots of the same type stack intensity, so you play this game where you try to stack up your dots as high as you can and keep them there. It helps that dot tick damage is shown like flying out of the enemy so you just see this fountain of burning, bleeding, torment, etc. numbers flying out of the enemy.

So after deliberating for a while, I think my EW jobs are going to be RDM/SUM, WAR, SCH, RPR, and BRD. I was WHM for my healer since basically HW, so I have no idea how SCH really works now. This did not stop me from buying myself an early Christmas present in the form of an 80 boost for it. Can someone give me the rundown on how to be a pro SCH healer?

I feel like "we need another scouting job" should be "why do we have scouting" - just merge scouting and maiming, then make NIN scale off those stats. As for the issue of people's jewelry - obviously this would be done in an expansion switchover, so just make the melee dps accessories free on tome vendors for a little while or something.

Eh, I don't like doing something like that. It doesn't matter at all from the lens of gameplay, but having a melee class that scales off of Dexterity (or agility, finesse, etc.) is a flavor niche that quite a lot people like.

Yeah, the downside to consolidating armor types is that it leads to fewer new gear appearances with each set of armor released, which can be unfortunate when there are jobs that already don't get a lot of sets that really match their specific aesthetic. That said just palette-swapping armor is common enough that this might not matter as much as it seems like it would, I guess. The upside would be concentrating the loot pool a bit so it's more so there's no more gear type that literally only matters to one job in the whole game. Of course adding more scouting jobs in the future would be another way to address that, so there are at least more jobs that care about it. Also merging scouting and maiming would be very odd aesthetically since maiming gear so frequently takes its cues from fending. The often-armored look would be pretty dissonant with Ninja. It'd be easier to merge with striking, even if that means there are too many striking jobs.

I did a couple clears of the Accessory giving EX last night, was overjoyed to see I was the only melee so all that slaying would be funneled directly onto me. And then 2-3 pieces of aiming dropped each clear instead. Got a necklace at least!

Thundarr posted:But it doesn't actually do anything as a niche. Nothing about dex vs str distinguishes ninja from monk in any way. The distinction comes from class mechanics and animations, which don't care what the background number is named. Like I said, it doesn't have any gameplay impact. It's entirely flavor. Some people like having a character that scales primarily off of a finesse stat instead of a power stat in their RPGs. There's often side benefits to doing that which FFXIV doesn't have, but even without those the flavor can be enough for some. Here's an example that's comparing apples to oranges from a game systems standpoint, but I'm saying to view it from a flavor standpoint. Soulsborne games have a variety of melee weapons that scale off of a bunch of different stats. Strength and dexterity, of course, but also traditionally caster stats like intelligence. Now, in those games there's actual game reasons to do that, like I said it doesn't compare well. But for me, for example, without any knowledge I'll usually gravitate towards a melee build that scales off whatever the casting stat is, just because I like the concept of a melee caster. I don't need a gameplay reason to do it, I just like the flavor of it. (If FFXIV ever added Mystic Knight, I'd be ecstatic.) Oxyclean posted:But they can just make more appearances for striking? They could do that, but then Striking sets would be getting two appearances (or, more likely, 1.5 or even 1.25) for every one appearance the other sets would get, and that wouldn't work long term. The obvious answer would be to just do that for every set, but there's only so many work hours available, and the art teams are already doing extra work to bring in male Viera, female Hrothgar and more hats for those races. They can't just nearly double the number of armor set appearances.

It's me, I'm the one who liked playing Affliction in WoW and enjoyed summoner back when it was sorta afflictiony. I'm not sad to see the dots go but I wouldn't mind having a class with dots+bane and such again.

Oxyclean posted:e: It's kind of funny because I don't think Reaper fits very well in striking? Their starter gear is practically a cloth robe. I think you mean maiming Anyway Reaper and Gunbreaker have similar situations with their gear, I think. Both of them use a gear type that is usually more heavily-armored than you'd expect that job to wear. For Gunbreakers, big, knightly armor doesn't quite feel right (though I do enjoy some of the more armored Gunbreaker glams I've seen), and for Reaper, it feels like they should be wearing flowing cloth robes and stuff. But then again Zenos still wears clanky armor as a Reaper so it seems to work fine, and there are still plenty of fending and maiming appearances that are lightly-armored or don't look like armor at all so its not a huge deal.
