WrightOfWay posted:So doing some quick math, it looks like you cast 1 Ruin IV and 0 Ruin III's per 60 second cycle and only 3 of those GCDs have cast times, so this job is both insanely mobile and insanely set in it's rotation. This might be the successor to Stormblood Machinist I was waiting for. What I like is that while the overall actions are set, the order isn’t. Obviously lining up with buff windows is one consideration, but I feel there’s going to be a lot of fight-specific planning to the tune of “I need to wait on Ifrit because I’m going to need to move soon” or “I should hold Garuda for when those adds show up”. Could be a really successful example of easy to learn, hard to master.

Basically there's going to be a default dummy opener/rotation for summoner but in practicality what you do is going to change from fight to fight

Once you hit max level BLM it is extremely inadvisable to do content that requires down syncing to anything below 70 on it imho

But yeah the AoE rotation has changed from Freeze->Thunder 4->Flare->Flare with Fouls where you can to something like Blizz 2->Freeze->Thunder 4->as many Fire 2s as fit->Flare with Fouls where you can.

It'll be interesting to see whether you want to use three HF2s, saving one Heart for Flare like the trailer, or just do two to get your Enhanced Flare stacks. Probably depends on whether you can get another full round in. I also noticed that Flare now requires Astral Fire, which gets rid of the Cold Flare variation. Kinda heavy-handed but w/e.

it's 100% amazing both from a gameplay perspective of not having to worry about watching who your pet's hitting and from a looks perspective of this dumb little gem cat-fox toddling around waiting for you to tell it to shoot its gem laser at a monster's face.

I like it, both because it's cute and it fits with how the pet AI actually works. Instead of having to constantly worry about movement interrupting casts or the lag of orders messing up the timing on things, they're just hangin' out. And Bahamut and Phoenix are big boys, capable of auto-attacking without your input now, which is really nice.

Carbuncle feels very vestigial at this point. Only there to do 2 utility OGCDs, make it so you technically can't use the primal summons during Bahamut/Phoenix and look cute. At least it's good at the last one.

I really like my skittles rainbow of magic catdogs (and even the egis are neat) so I hope they never turn them fully into battle effects.

I hate the egis so having to see them instead of the proper summons below 90 is a MAJOR pain point. I wonder if egi glamour will still work, I'd much rather see Carby than them.

I'm pretty sure you can glamour your carbuncle into an Egi, which isn't the same as changing the graphics on attack spells which appear to summon Egis.

I would've hated not having a persistent pet, because that's actually a real good roleplaying tool. So while they do feel a bit vestigial, I am happy they're still there. Kinda disappointed they weren't doing what I predicted and adding more abilities that interact with the pet's position, though. Lift some of BLM's Ley Lines abilities. But honestly, the only part of all the media tour I actually found myself caring about was the Baldesion Annex's music.

It all makes sense now. Tataru wasn't a terrible arcanist, she was a too good arcanist.

The cool thing is that a multi-phase rotation that allows choices and changes in your phase order depending on the situation actually matches the tactician class flavor of Arcanist. Finally.

Maybe the Arcanists' old spells still exist, and it's only the WoL that decides geometry is too lame and learns to summon Carbuncle just to have a cute little friend while they pursue becoming as gods.

The WoL is just poo poo at math, and only really gets skilled once they take up summoning. Evidence: Every run of Ridorana Lighthouse ever.
