Yes they're separate

Need to pick Ravana or Sephirot to try out tonight. Sephirot's gotta be the way but apparently Ravana the contender for the "big" server so far.

Leveled WAR 1-90 over the Christmas break and truer words have never been spoken. Just pull until you can't anymore, eat mechanics during bosses, do whatever, who cares. Just press Bloodwhetting after, it's easy.

It no longer requires proximity to the Dragoon who cast it, you just get a buff from them now and you can gently caress off to the other side of the world and still have the buff for its duration

They should have at least replaced it with red and blue dragon buddies sitting on the shoulders of the dragoon and their (ex) tether buddy.

I'm happy with the spicy dancer buffs. They're not paladin spicy, but that's ok because holy poo poo paladin needed it.

Here is my dream dragoon rework. Note that I am a madman so this is a fever dream, or perhaps a nightmare:

  • The GCD outline stays the same. Chaos thrust combo->two extenders->full thrust combo->two extenders
  • Randomized positionals from HW are back. Chaos thrust and full thrust will proc either wheeling thrust or fang and claw, randomly. You still do the other one after the random one.
  • Raiden Thrust is reverted to how it worked in shadowbringers: you only get it if you hit the second positional. The dumb wyrmwind mechanic is completely removed, but it still exists sort of; see below.
  • Geirskogul has like, a 120 second cooldown or something dumb like that. However, every single jump--high jump, spineshatter dive, dragonfire dive, and stardiver--resets the CD. Mirage dive is removed to make up for this. High jump now directly grants an eye.
  • When Geirskogul's CD is reset by Dragonfire Dive, it turns into something badass for the next use. Morn Afah, perhaps.
  • Nastrond now changes form each time you press it. The first time is nastrond, the second time is wyrmwind thrust, the third time is Ala Morn. This resets every life of the dragon, but it makes it feel good to get all three nastronds.
  • Life of the dragon, instead of giving you a red aura, now fully transforms you similar to reaper's thing. You look like Estinien from Final Steps of Faith. Alternatively, it could just give you the wings and make you float in the dragoon pose, I'm not attached to the idea of it changing your armor. This is the most vital part of my proposal
  • The tether keeps its 30y range but the tether is made visible again

Jeez, those huge buffs on the Paladin's...those skills you combo after the one that does a bunch of damage (I can never remember the names of any skills in this game, even after getting a job to max level; I just recognize their icons).

That's kind of nice, since I was really underwhelmed by the damage they did once I unlocked them (which I was really looking forward to).

Hell yeah. I was already using the Confiteor combo on trash packs to get that DoT going, so getting a buff there is real nice.

Also, minor but really important (for some of you) update in the Resolved Issues: An issue wherein audio crackling and stuttering occurred under certain conditions.
* For players who continue to experience audio playback issues after the release of Patch 6.08, we ask that you consider disabling DualSense / DUALSHOCK 4 functionality.


The DualSense/DUALSHOCK option is a new one added with this patch under System Configuration, if you're confused about not seeing it before. Hopefully this will finally help those of you that were still having this issue.

I started last may and went BLM, DNC, SAM for 'mains' doing the MSQ and then picked up PLD to learn tanking (currently 82), and AST to heal (72) but I'm bad at that.

None of my jobs felt underpowered and I'm not doing savage anyway - doing PN now on my SAM - but I do look forward to this patch :)

e; actually gently caress yeah, this is going to be fun on all my jobs. BOOM!

Eh? According to my reading of fflogs, rpr and mnk are, at the highest level, neck-and-neck at the top, with SAM and BLM 3-4-ish percent behind and RDM/DRG/NIN another 3-ish percent behind that. Am I wrong?

3% of a good reaper is 200 or more dps

Time to set up a macro to advertise your choice in party chat! (This actually happened to me when I was playing NIN in my first run of Rabanastre and just... constantly on the floor. I was glad for the vote of confidence, but dude, you probably would have gotten more DPS tethering the tank. Or, like, anybody)
