The greatest challenge with Samurai is that I will never, ever get the names of their skills straight, meaning I will only be able to communicate rotations by describing what the icons look like.

Yoshida just phoned me to say that he's trolling arcanist players by removing miasma 2 and bio 1 and ruining bane and making all the scholar spells bad and boring. Pretty immature if you ask me but he's the boss.

SpaceDrake posted:I really don't get that. Heavensward Bane needed a nerf, yes, on both SMN and SCH, but removing double Bios from it would have been enough by itself. They really, really, reaaaaalllly don't want people doing sustained AoE anymore and Bane was pretty much the king of that. Even Fire 2 got hit hard. Meanwhile: Hahahahaha my day as a PLD is here!

I started playing 3 weeks ago and just got my Scholar to 49. Kinda disappointed with these changes. I also want to pick up Dark Knight as my secondary, and that's bad now too ?

Play whatever you want. I don't think anything is going to unusable, it's just disappointing as someone who's played scholar since the beginning to get TWO expansion packs worth of underwhelming new spells AND good spells gutted AND decent spells removed

Infinity Gaia posted:Ahhh, I forgot about that. Still, 10 less potency in exchange for the other stuff Monks are getting seems okay provided we all ignore the elephant in the room that is Samurai. I mean, I'd be less bummed if we'd gotten something cool, but between the skill that's just a replacement for B4B (that also messes with the gottagofast that's kinda the core of monking), a raid buff that pales compared to the other melee classes, and a passive for using one ability a lot more, it's just all so boring. EponymousMrYar posted:They really, really, reaaaaalllly don't want people doing sustained AoE anymore and Bane was pretty much the king of that. Even Fire 2 got hit hard. Funnily enough, that's still the one place where monks are great.

Injuryprone posted:Are ninjas hard to play with all the mudra shananagins? I wouldn't say they're any harder than any other melee but they can still be butts if your connection's worse than 120ms to pull a number out of my arse. You memorize the mudra patterns pretty fast.

Injuryprone posted:Are ninjas hard to play with all the mudra shananagins? They're very off-gcd heavy but I mean by video game standards even 3-mudra ninjutsu don't require that many button presses per second. And aside from mudra they're quite simple

Anyone know of a compact list of the quests to complete the HW storyline? Even though I subbed earlier this week I left off finishing figuring I'd enjoy the benefits of earning XP while doing it. Plus I'm going to be away from my computer for a week straight starting Monday so I wasn't going to be blitzing through Stormblood in any case. Just want to be able to track how far I've got left to go.

Every time you cast a mudra you have to make the hand sign IRL so that part can be difficult. Here's a guide on how to practice your mudras.

Some snap analysis: WAR: Cannot wait to get hit in the face! But really, Onslaught should ADD 20 Beast Gauge, not cost it. AST: Why won't loving anything that Squeenix has written down tell me if Minor Arcana randomly picks between Lord and Lady or if half the cards turn into Lord, and the other half turn into Lady, and WHICH HALVES!? MCH: ...wow, gently caress everything. Now MCH gets to feel what it's like to have a bolted on mechanic. There is no way to control overheat until you hit 62. Involuntary Overheats EVERYWHERE. All the BRDs everywhere just got schadenboners.

It's a good thing you can encapsulate all of the relevant hand signs in various permutations of a 3 button combo. Mudra's are a little complicated but once you wrap you're head around them the only thing that'll trip you up is latency and fat fingering shenanigans.

brainwrinkle posted:I started playing 3 weeks ago and just got my Scholar to 49. Kinda disappointed with these changes. SCH remains a perfectly fine healer, and they've actually made it so that your single-target damage is largely unchanged. All they really did was nerf your ability to be a multi-dotting, super-DPS god while also putting out tons of healing, which has been a bit of a problem going all the way back to 2.0. Of course the bigger problem is that a lot of longtime healers on SCH and WHM are feeling more than a little inferior to AST right now because on paper AST is completely out of control.

patch notes posted:An issue wherein the level 56 samurai ability, Hissatsu: Yaten is misnamed Hissatsu: Gyoten, which is also the name of the level 54 samurai ability. Both abilities function properly, but the only way to tell them apart is by their icon and help text. Whooopsie!

Ciaphas posted:How much on a single boss though? The difference between really good ones every time and just kinda clicking split shot over and over is probably around ~3% over a single say Alex Normal fight.

Am I reading this 1 Ilm punch description right? It's a stun that doesn't build up stun resistance on the target so you can stun it every time you go through your rotation if you wanted?

Hey Paladins, you know how your cross class options were kind of lackluster unless you were doing PUG PotD? Now you can fill those slots with some of the class abilities you took for granted.

So I got this like a year ago and went through the MSQ until about....Ravana, I think? My friend told me you can start the Stormblood questline right away, but does that permanently skip the rest of heavensward if so? Also would there be spoilers (lol caring about the story of an mmo i know) i'm too lazy to look but are Summoners ever gonna get new egis

Why is PvP Tri-Bind so much better than PvE Tri-Bind? If they're going to keep Tri-Bind they should really just go with the PvP version that has the same potency as Ruin.A big flaming stink posted:So I got this like a year ago and went through the MSQ until about....Ravana, I think? You can get the new classes without the expansion story but otherwise you have to pay real money for jump potions to skip right to Stormblood. Also Summoners get Demi-Bahamut.

JT Jag posted:I'm curious as to how they'll balance Monk in PVP, considering that in Stormblood PVP crits aren't a thing anymore. Which is the one big thing I kinda disagree about the PVP changes that I've seen so far, but we'll see. Remember, PvP is effectively an entirely different game going forward. No traits, and some abilities just share their names but not effects. Somersault surived the revamp but is retooled to give a Chakra Stack. Form Shift gives Greased Lightning. These cost TP to use and are on 5 second cooldowns. GCD Combo attacks no longer use TP in PvP for all jobs. TP is basically now just a resource for some abilities like those.
