Hence the new alexander hard mode would be not difficult enough. This is bad for the game. So in reality, I would like to propose that you need to add 2 new additional difficulties for a total of four levels of difficulty: Alexander Normal Alexander Hard Alexander Extreme Alexander Savage Only then can you have balanced raid content.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:TO pull us out of this downward spiral I'm gonna re-ask a post from earlier that got eaten in patch notes talk, I'm about to hit the Crystal Sands tier of Anima weapon for AST and I have 0 idea what stats I should be leaning towards for it. I mean, I know what stats are good on AST but the freedom of the allocation kind of has me a little worried that I could gently caress up my weapon a bit so does anyone have any suggestions for it? I've spent a lot of time thinking about healing itemization and I've come to a few conclusions. Firstly, the only stat that really seems to mean anything in a healing environment is spell speed. You get more spells per fight and they cast faster. The problem with determination is that since it generates such little extra healing even with large allocations of the stat, most healers will just turn their determination directly into overheal. It's very rare these days for someone to be saved from death by a matter of 100-200 hitpoints, especially if you're playing well. Crit kind of falls into the same boat: since you should be planning around no crits happening, most of your crits will translate directly into overheal or give you a lucky save when you gently caress up. The one nice thing about crit is if you deliberately ride a tank's hp low, you can occasionally get a free gcd thanks to a crit. Thinking about it in terms of raw healing output is stupid though, because you're going to dps a lot provided you aren't poo poo. In dps terms, spell speed is exactly the same. You get more spells per fight and you cast them faster. Crit now becomes the best stat, because in terms of raw dps increase it provides the biggest return out of any substat. Determination is now okay, because it will directly impact the amount of damage you're doing. It's not as good as crit though. Piety and accuracy are both odd, because you want the bare minimum of both. You want exactly enough piety to make it through the fight without wasting any, although that is unrealistically optimized. In more realistic terms, you want a mana pool that you feel is "safe" for any given fight. I believe very strongly in swapping out gear on a fight to fight basis because of that. Accuracy is the same way, you only want enough to hit a given fight's accuracy cap. So when taking all of that into account, I believe the best stats for a healer are ss > crit > det with piety and accuracy sitting off in the corner being weird. As such, the first question you should ask is whether you intend to raid on your healer. If so, accuracy is unarguably the most efficient choice. You can only get it through melds and your relic, and with full accuracy melds this patch we still need food to meet the a8s cap. Putting accuracy on your weapon opens up alternative melding options and alternative food options as well. I believe either spell speed or crit are the best choices for a second stat here, depending on how much time you spend dpsing vs healing. If you spend more than half of your time dpsing, I would argue for crit. Vice versa for spell speed. I generally look down on piety in the relic because it's easily obtained elsewhere and if you need piety in every single slot you are probably doing something wrong. If you're not raiding, I believe the best choice would be a crit/ss relic. Crit will get you high dps returns, and I spend like 70-80% of a given exdr in cleric stance. Spell speed means you get to heal faster and get back to c-stance sooner, or squeeze out an extra spell before you have to leave c-stance. Piety is arguably an alternative to spell speed for Astrologians, because it means more gravity spam, but I'm generally of the spell speed school of things. I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of other healers in the thread on all of this jumbo because it's definitely better than stupid raid tier arguments and also hopefully mutually informative. tl;dr: crit/spell speed or acc/spell speed edit: if you're an honest healing bitch then you still want crit/ss. Spell speed becomes your only good stat and since you're not dpsing you have no excuse to run out of mana. Crit is marginally better for healing than det because at least you can sometimes save a gcd which is super high value and you can occasionally save a wipe (that your honest healing bitch rear end started).

It's old content that a lot of people are experiencing for the first time, you shouldn't be a oval office just because you feel like an extra 5 minutes is a waste of your precious time. People wait in queue for that poo poo for a long time, and getting an obnoxious party like that is really disheartening.

Virulence posted:Yeah, I don't think I'd miss them much if they did that. They're just kind of there and I don't even notice the flytext for them very often. Autoattack feels like an arcane relic of ages past. From back when hotkeys were more cooldown oriented than not, so the default thing for non-caster to do was the autoattack with their weapon to conserve mp/watever, because you don't want to have to sit down every 2 kills. Main issue with it in this game is that it's indicated absolutely nowhere, unless you stand still and do nothing. Then you notice your character slashing the enemy once every 6 or whatever seconds. If you actually push buttons, no animation for it ever plays, and have fun noticing an extra floaty number. If I didn't read this thread or sword oath desc, I'd probably still not know it exists. Which is a problem, because a lot of melee classes never need 30 PLD. Well, that and the legacy option loving with them, but they fixed that now.

But for a non raider, accuracy is pointless and crit just generates extra aggro a DF tank might not be able to take. Only on grade 4s. Grade 5s give +12 same as others like crit. They need to fix det 4s to not be dumb and worthless.

healer stats tldr: crit: you don't rely on it but when it happens you save mana. has the bonus of being the best dps stat besides accuracy. piety: increased mana regeneration spell speed: does nothing. healing output has never been a problem. tanks are already not in tank stance ever, sch is basically always in cleric, and a minimal spell speed ast/whm can still handle pretty much anything in spite of this. I can see this being more useful if you dps a lot. determination: does nothing. that extra 50 hp or whatever you heal in full det isn't gonna make a difference and is probably just gonna be overheal. all stats are bad but piety and crit are the least bad Agraya fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Aug 28, 2016 |

Thanks for this, I've been having trouble finding anyone talking at length about why you'd go for any stat specifically over another. I've been stumped on this since basically everything seemed kind of good with only one real stat sticking out as obviously better than the rest (SS). I am leaning towards more raid focused stuff. My gorup kind of dropped ou ta few patches ago but we're all getting back in strong lately and will probably be on the frontlines of Savage/Extreme when 2.4 drops and I'm kind of the only reliable healer we've got at the moment.
