Anyone have any opinions on Wanderer's Minuet yet? I was skeptical about if before release and so far I dislike it even more than I thought I would. It's introduced latency issues to a class that I've never had the slightest problem with in the entire time I've been playing. I'm getting skills cancelled while casting even though I haven't moved because it presumably registered the movement I took before casting later than it should have. Straight Shot procs are hosed in WM too; True Shot taking up half the GCD timer is leading to situations where the I get a proc, use Straight Shot and it starts casting, only to ignore the proc until I cancel the cast or it finishes casting and try again. It just feels so sloppy right now. I guess it's probably less of an issue for NA players but it's really annoying for me here in poor old EU. I'm only level 53 atm so I can get by just fine without using it ever really but once I get the WM only skills later I feel like it's gonna suck to play at endgame. Oh and also Barrage seems straight up lovely now, contrary to previous speculation 3x Sidewinder isn't a thing. Sidewinder is an ability, not a weaponskill so it doesn't work. I can't imagine a situation where Barrage is even close to being equal to old Barrage.

bonewitch posted:Minuet sucks and is single handedly turning me off a class I have used to clear every coil and most of savage. The idea of the class (mobile, off gcd heavy) just doesn't line up with having cast times. The worst part is there's no similar class to jump ship to because Machinist has the same poo poo.

Hivac posted:The amount of times I stopped and thought "man, I'm sure glad I was able to move" as BRD are very little. I dunno if that's because I didn't do ridiculous progression raiding but I really never felt like it was a huge plus for the class. I dunno! Having a near 100% uptime on damage dealing no matter what mechanics are taking place is a pretty big deal and goes a long way to making up for your otherwise lackluster DPS Bland fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Jun 22, 2015 |

SwissArmyDruid posted:Question: What's stopping Bards from not using WM, except for when you need it to extend DoTs or whatever? 3 second cast time Begemot posted:The cast times with minuet are way shorter than BLM's. If you're already used to clipping them it barely effects your mobility at all. You still have plenty of off-GCDs and buffs you can pop while moving or when you get straighter shot. It is when your "full dps" is noticeably lower than every other DPS class (Except MCH, rip)

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Honestly, for as much as people love RDM I don't really think it should exist as an actual job. The thing that makes RDM distinct is being able to do everything, and being able to do everything in one class at the same time just doesn't work in this format. It's something they wouldn't be able to do justice. Actually the thing that makes RDM distinct is their immaculate fashion sense so as long as they include that then we're golden.

UglyDucklett posted:Bard is the red mage equivalent in ff14 ... you have the fantastic fashion sense. Pretty much the entire reason I chose to play Bard in this (though I stayed for how it plays of course) was because I thought "close enough" with regards to this point. I still live in hope that we get Red Mage in some capacity some day though. vvvvv I would love all of that so much, you have no idea Bland fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jul 1, 2015 |

I have no idea what barrens chat means but I've never really had cause to take issue with PBC chat, it's usually quite fun and helpful outside of people getting whiny some times. Maybe I just don't hate goons enough.

Rei_ posted:do any of these fights have an enrage? I've seen several people mistake Self Destruct on A1 for an Enrage. A4 has a soft enrage i think because he keeps getting DMG+ stacks as the fight progresses, but I don't think at any point he'll outright wipe the room Self Destruct in A1 is an enrage. If your DPS is complete rear end and you get to like 10 cycles they'll come down and start channeling Self Destruct together.

Volt Catfish posted:Somehow this has happened to me all 4 times I've tried the fight in the duty finder and it makes me want to get a parser just to see how bad the dps is. Like, last run I had 2 dragoons, a monk, and a ninja and I understand playing these melee classes can be tricky, but I am really curious how much damage they were actually outputting. That is absolutely the main emotion that parsers will evoke when you're DF'ing it up. Only one single time in A1, A3 and A4 have I have been out damaged and I'm playing Bard in parties full of DRGs MNKs and SMNs. And a lot of the time these people are completely failing/ignoring mechanics in their pursuit of garbage DPS. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Ran into a pretty special WAR in Neverreap today, said he'd cleared it before and was baffled as to why he couldn't hold aggro. I guess when he got to 35 he ran out of room on his hotbar or something. He quit half way through in shame of his failures, no joke. Very odd experience.

KaneTW posted:An issue wherein casting the black mage action “Fire III” immediately after receiving the “Firestarter” effect would result in an uninterruptable cast instead of an instant cast.

You know I thought when they doubled the drops in Alexander I'd no longer having any problems with the system but after 8 runs of A3 today between 3 parties and nothing to show for it I think I'm about to burn down the server.

Truga posted:How? Do all the people in A3 want cranks exclusively now or something? Well I was after my final spring and I just got mediocre roll after mediocre roll. People seemed to be rolling on cranks and springs quite a lot, most of the lens' went straight in the garbage though. Every party I was in would end up with me being the last person to need loot and everyone peaceing out, even the one I made myself with the description "Please stick around until everyone has their loot". The one time I got a strong roll on a spring I was beaten by a guy wearing Gordian pants already rolling a 99.  Guess I'll try again tomorrow or something.
