AST's action learning order is now hella comical due to all of the new interlinked mechanics and the lowering of Gravity. You learn four new actions at 50, in exchange for not getting a new action at 52 or 56. That's still a lot of fuckin' actions to pick up in the span of a level!aers posted:Apparently it was confirmed there's now a global 90 fps cap on the game during the patch note reading, lol. Like I mentioned in the other thread, their engine's collision detection starts to poo poo the bed at 100+ FPS. They likely ended up having too many points in Shadowbringers where people at high FPS could just straight up walk through walls to bypass content or unintentionally phase through terrain.

Krabboss posted:So since the media tour GNB gained a bunch of potency across the board, DNC lost a bit and their crit/dh buff was nerfed by 10% (but gained 5s) and new MCH gained potency pretty much across the board but lost a bit on their 1 and Heat Blast. Old jobs that aren't being reworked don't seem to have changed much. Warrior's Shake it Off starts at 12% now, which is nice. Hypercharge increases single target weaponskill potencies by 20 now, so HB is the same as before when you factor that in. I think they made that small change because you learn HC at 30 and HB at 35, and in between those levels there would be no reason to overheat if it wasn't for that small potency increase. WF and Barrel Stabilizer also had their cooldowns changed to 2m instead of 1m, and WF adds 200 potency per weaponskill instead of 150.

I'm really happy with how GNB is looking. God I'm so excited to try that job out. Everything about it looks fun as hell. I love its weird mashup of really  skill names like Jugular Rip and Abdomen Tear along with a bunch of astronomy terms like Superbolide, Aurora, and Bow Shock. Also I'm happy for ASTs that they get Gravity earlier now, speaking of astronomy. Harrow fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Jun 27, 2019 |

Cao Ni Ma posted:See I wouldn't care so much if AST had SOMETHING to weave into during the recast wait time since they get faster casting but nope. AST's had the 1.5s cast time on Malefic since either 4.1 or 4.2. I've never had a problem with not having poo poo to use during my oGCDs. You actually have more actions you'll have to weave on the regular than before, especially with the changes to Sleeve Draw. Hogama posted:Seems to be a measure against bots, because one way of teleporting/clipping around was with high FPS. Bots use position spoofing to warp around, since it's vastly more efficient. There's the possibility that they've added in better detection for position spoofing and this is an attempt to permanently clamp down on them, but my money's more on Shadowbringers' world being made of Swiss cheese at high enough FPS.

Yeah I use RTSS for this game. edit: Looking at some technical details they'll have to have re-implemented the frame limiter because their current implementation can't actually cap to 90fps. So this..might be good!

Friendly neighbourhood catte here again! So, I found out throughout most of Stormblood my true calling.  Raiding? Not at all. Raiding is fun and all, but my true passion was found in the glamour.      And Stormblood was pretty perfect for Glamours! Now that Shadowbringers is upon us, I figured it was time for edgier glamours however. Time to bring darkness to the first.   So happy pre-patch day! Looking forward to seeing all of you on the first.

so what's the difference between the tanks mechanically? i havent tanked since ARR so my only point of reference is PLD is a bit tankier with less DPS and WAR is a bit squishier but shits damage and yeah I know that's probably not the same anymore either

Focused on maintaining a DoT and using oGCD actions for damage. Loads of party utility. WAR: Gets to see big numbers fly across the screen constantly and still has the best AoE out of all of the tanks. Has to maintain a damage buff. Limited oGCDs. DRK: Fairly steady state tank. Optimizing damage requires good use of your main short cooldown defensive action. Fairly limited oGCDs now. You get a Stand at level 80. GNB: Gets an absolute shitload of oGCDs. Decent party utility, though still less than PLD.

GNB: gonna have to see how it plays out but it looks a bit like what you'd get synthesizing PLD's utility with DRK's consistency

Forgot when servers are coming down. Get as many Tomestones of whatever type you can. They will all be able to turn into Poetics tomorrow. When the servers come up, buy 390 gear with poetics, upgrade to 400 if you want.

I want to get into this game again- I previously played back during ARR but didn’t get very far. Around the time Stormblood came out I got HW on sale and boosted my dude to 50 and played for a while more. Im getting the itch to reinstall, but I’m torn between starting all over from 1 and slogging through ARR or continuing from where I am, which is somewhere in Ishgard and completely overwhelmed by buttons.

Performance issues aside, the 90fps thing makes me laugh at the idea of the WoL vibrating through walls ala Barry Allen. Anyway, I dunno if I wanna be RDM or BRD. Both look fun, and I'm pretty good at both, but people in Discord saying RDM is for old people. While I am an old and this is true, you don't have to say it!

Just pick up where you left off. If you're genuinely unable to pick up your old class again, you can always level a new one from 1-50 on that character with the Armory bonus speeding things along. aers posted:That's all well and good but here's what the framerate limiter does to my FPS I dug around on Reddit, and people with better display knowledge than me have said that they had to have changed the implementation. The previous implementation simply called the IDXGISwapChain::Present method while setting SyncInterval, which apparently cannot hard cap FPS.

So with the BLM updates (buffs to me), it looks like we can get up to 5 flares in a row! Umbral Heart Flare > Umbral Soul > Umbral Heart Flare > Flare > Manafont > Flare > Ether > Flare! All but 1 of these can be insta cast. Plus, you can now ice 3 at zero mp, and follow up with double Fouls, then back to more flares even faster! AND 2 seconds were added to Astral/Umbral timer so it's harder to lose Enochian! ...it pays to play Yoshi-p's favorite class.

I finally got to get started last night (just in time for all day server maintenance today ( ), but wanted to share my PC with y'all since that seems to be encouraged. I'm playing on Goblin server right now, but hope to jump to Excalibur to play with y'all when it opens up. Really loved getting lost in Ul'dah and then finding out that those quests were designed to do exactly that!

The wait for this expansion is a rollercoaster of emotions. First, I was definitely going to play GNB first because it's the new hotness. Then, I was definitely going to play WAR first because it's still good and I want to hit the new content first. Then, I was definitely going to play DRK first because it's the expansion job and I want to hit the new content first. Now, I am definitely going to play PLD first because it's got some great QOL changes, buffs, does damage 4 different ways, and I want to hit the new content first. Too many good tanks. ShB: the tank expansion

Klewer posted:You can only use Umbral Soul in UI. Hmm, I see that now it grants Umbral ice as well as a heart. I guess I got too excited. Not quite sure what the point of the ability is then while Blizz 4 exists unless you can't wait for the cast time before switching back to fire? Oh well, so 4 tops with an ether still, but double Fouls is still a powerful AoE upgrade.

There's two pretty solid ways to refamiliarize yourself with a class. The fast one is to run Palace of the Dead from the beginning, which will set you to 1 and then fairly quickly level you back up. The slower one is to run each dungeon in a row, so you really get the idea of what order you unlock your buttons in and how they're used. I'd give those a try before restarting entirely.

It's for building up to/maintaining UI3 and 3 umbral hearts when there's nothing for you to attack. So in between dungeon pulls or during phase transitions in a boss fight you use it, and then when you're able to target an enemy again you can start dealing good damage again much more quickly.

keep in mind that many to most people you'll queue into don't use all their skills or don't understand them outside of rote application so if you're trying and prep a bit you'll probably be just fine. Also so I can look smart in front of my friends how do you pronounce goetia?

If actions are overwhelming you, you have a couple good options: Run a few low level dungeons, increasing level as you relearn the skills. Pop into Palace of the Dead and run a few tiers, regaining your skills as you level inside.

Klewer posted:Hypercharge increases single target weaponskill potencies by 20 now, so HB is the same as before when you factor that in. I think they made that small change because you learn HC at 30 and HB at 35, and in between those levels there would be no reason to overheat if it wasn't for that small potency increase. i'm no theorycrafter, and i need to wait for all the mch mains to start doing the math once the game goes live, BUT poking my head around the balance discord it sounds like hypercharge might have an animation lock. if this is the case, you might only be able to get 5 heat blasts during an overheat rather than 6. if this is true, it might only be worth heat blasting during a wildfire window and then normal combos the rest of the time? they might have put the 20 potency bump because if hypercharge > heat blast outside of wildfire was a dps loss there'd be no point in doing it, so this is a way of giving it some benefit
