Saint Freak posted:I mean, the completely safe but unsatisfying answer is that you're such a small percent of your team's damage, and then grit is a small percent of that, and then the amount of time you would be able to drop it is a small percent of the total time, so all compounded the answer is 'no one would ever notice the benefits of you dropping it, but if you do it wrong and lose aggro/die/wipe then holy poo poo are they going to notice that and also you lost more time than you would've ever saved' The best healer's dps is enough lower than even a tank that this trade-off isn't really a thing

A 50S RAYGUN posted:honestly, removing the stance change penalty addresses like eighty percent of the issues i have with warrior feeling clunky. i won't mind a few potency increases, either (or shake it off being changed), but i think the fact like half of our job abilities can only be used in one stance or another made it feel really lovely to not stance dance but the actual stance dancing was also punished super hard. i'm pretty pleased.  It's a big buff to dps particularly when you're mt because you can charge in defiance, swap, 6x cleave and then swap back in time to eat the next bit hit or w/e SKULL.GIF posted:It concerns me that they say they want to make some jobs easier because they're too reliant on player skill. I really didn't enjoy RDM because of how simple it was, not excited to see other jobs move towards that. What they said is that they were going to reduce he skill gap, not remove the need for skill for certain jobs So I read that as making the peak damage for high skilled players vs low skilled ones less This may be why there are the rotation issues with BLM (that they're now walking back from a bit with reduction to recast of F4) because a good versus bad BLM was really obvious in HW a kitten posted:Is this good? Have any resident number crunchers had a look at how it might play out yet? Triplecast means you can now do 3*f4 in GCD*3 rather than 3*2.8 (formerly 3*3) every 60s instead of every 90s So, it's probably a couple percent over a whole cycle, but it's enough to make the SB rotation clearly better than the 2.0 rotation, I think Countblanc posted:It does, just like how you can't melt str left side The way I read it is that tank stuff will get some strength, not capped strength. I would bet they add just enough that the ilvl difference invalidates the old stuff and there's still room for a str VI meld If not they better refund me all the str vi I just melded  A 50S RAYGUN posted:i can't wait for the cap to be way worse than 270 gear so nothing changes I would be surprised if they didn't make savage hit hard enough that you need the vit to survive Orcs and Ostriches posted:You totally don't but that won't stop learning parties from having a 310 min ilvl in pf.

Ferrinus posted:While welcome, the black mage changes don't seem to fix the thing where an umbral cycle consisting purely of thunder and foul is superior to an umbral cycle consisting of thunder, foul, and blizzard 4. Which is okay, because playing to minimize B4 casts actually feels pretty good, but I can't imagine it's what they intend. I haven't been playing my BLM much is SB but why doesn't getting a longer astral phase by getting hearts benefit?

Ferrinus posted:Umbral Hearts give you two more F4s, which are good. However, they come at the cost of casting B4, which is bad. Basically, when you compare this, and here I am using italics for crappy spells (spells cast in UI, spells cast to transition) and bold for good ones (fire spells cast in AF): So with triplecast now every 60s doesn't that increase your propensity to use B4?

Ferrinus posted:With a 2.8s cast time on your punchiest magic, each time you use triplecast you're basically buying yourself 0.9 seconds total. However, if you subtract 0.9 from each of those times and divide, you still see the short rotation put out more PPS than the long rotation. It's not really that triplecast makes the long rotation break ahead, it's just that it's a useful benchmark to use as a timer - every so often you need the longer, slightly weaker B4 rotation just to give Foul time to charge back up. I think the effect of 60s triplecast is largely that you use leylines as your new B4 stopwatch. I'd like if they made foul an ogcd so it wasn't an either or for it and b4; even if they had to take the potency down a bit for that not to be a huge buff

hobbesmaster posted:Miasma II was a melee range AoE that dealt 20 damage and put a 10 potency dot on for 15s. Replacing Miasma I with Miasma II would be a dramatic damage decrease. It's not replacing, it's added as a job specific action, so unless I've completely misread you would have both miasma 1 and 2, with the latter as your aoe damage.

Leal posted:This is something I never got. Like at all. It is so widespread that there has to be some sort of "logic" behind why so many tanks do it but I can't think of it.

Here is my theory Just like other humans, they may need to fart or drink water sometimes and unlike say a dps or healer everyone notices when they do Or maybe they need to charge their jo crystal before each boss you'll never know which one RoboJoe posted:Apologies for the delay in response!

I think this goes from the theme of the skill to the actual class design - In WoW everything is designed to make you feel powerful. When you hit something you listen to the sound of smashing melons because that one skill is designed to be your ultimate power breaking the enemy apart. When you hit something with a blade in FFXIV you listen to a metallic clank as if the hit had been deflected. It's not even the satisfying clank of mining.

But after trying to play DDR with a keyboard as BLM back in 3.0 I was basically fed up. RDM seems to be like a good, happy medium, but they are EVERYWHERE right now. 4.0 BLM is way better, in case you want to get monster Crits again. I basically quit playing BLM even tho I'd mained it all through ARR because it was such a headache to get enochian right. Now it's good. Captain Oblivious posted:So what is the generally agreed upon tank substat priority these days? I don't mean in terms of melds, but in terms of the gear itself. What two stats should I be prioritizing for my slots? Crit/Tenacity? Crit/Det? If you are doing progression / bleeding edge it's tenacity > direct hit > crit = det >>>> ss If you are not needing to be ultra optimized then you can get away with more DH. Reiterpallasch posted:Crit isn't high enough this early in the patch for it to be worth stacking on non-bards (it's the only substat that scales superlinearly). Stacking Direct Hit and Tenacity are both defensible right now, depending on whether you think ~5% passive damage mitigation is worth a commensurate amount of DPS loss. I didn't think it was commensurate loss of dps tho, in part because more tenacity means you can be in damage stance more. Simplest math I saw is tenacity is 1% mitigation and 1% dmg up for each 200 points vs direct hit is 1% dmg up for each 140 points. So if you max stack / meld tenacity you can peak at about 7.5% dmg and mit increase over ungeared, and if just dh you can get about 9.5% dmg up So stacking DH gives you 2% more damage at the cost of about 7% mitigation, meaning you need to be in tank stance more often to survive cutting edge stuff, meaning ten is probably better But for anything other than prob o3s and o4s you don't need the tenacity to live so dh is better cheetah7071 posted:Is there any real way to heal the other alliances on controller? I don't think there is but I learned how to cycle targets in enmity list order only a few weeks ago and I've been playing since 2.1 so it's very possible I missed something You could use the touchpad mouse function to select them Ciaphas posted:This is literally true, and having been a healer for so long in your case might give you a leg up since you know better what kind of damage and healing inputs to expect from watching it happen Shirking onto a dickhead who won't stop ripping stuff off you is one of the best parts of being a lowbie tank tho?
