yeah I don't like the MT OT thing, that feels like something other mmos would do

tulip wraith
#

especially with how lopsided the spread is

#

like yeah 8.0 tank will make it 2-3

dapper zealot
#

They should have made drk able to flex both

tulip wraith
#

but the 3 being 3 of the 4 already existing tanks is wild

#

i think all should be flex somehow

#

i thought thats how it was gonna be before they went into it

dapper zealot
#

I'm sure we'll see more job showcases in the next fanfests

tulip wraith
#

like tank stance but you press it to swap what buff you want, MT or OT idfk

dapper zealot
#

also glad I held off learning sch until 8.0

tulip wraith
dapper zealot
#

learning ev sch is going to be so much easier

tulip wraith
#

but we shall see

robust shoal
#

I want to see an OT's kit because rn it seems like "five tanks but two of them have counterattack skills"

dapper zealot
#

And can we come up with an acronym or something for reborn and evolved

#

it's getting tiring typing it out

robust shoal
#

OT supposedly have more support but PLD has wings+veil and cover

dapper zealot
#

I want rpr
we have rpr at home
rpr at home:

tulip wraith
#

ooh completely forgot about new raid difficulty too

#

more midcore content, wonderful

dapper zealot
#

9.0 will bridge savage and ult

marble grove
#

Fuck ton of content come 9.0

#

No more possibility to complain about the lack of it

jade nimbus
#

All of the stuff in 8.0 seems very cool

#

The real gripe will be how they implement it

#

Quick question btw, were aoe rotations missing in evolved? Or they just focused on single target?

shadow pilot
#

They probs just tease us what evolved will be look like

#

So they focus on ST after all

proper cave
#

Some skills had baked in aoe but I didn't see an obvious combo

shadow pilot
#

Most new abilities now just bake AoE in them and call it a day

jade nimbus
#

Ye, cause I was thinking of how Viper aoe combo is the same as single target combo button whise

proper cave
#

That said it is very early. The UI was practically nonexistent. Things probably will change.

jade nimbus
#

Gotcha, yeye

mortal flower
#

My assumptipn is stuff like... Reprisal maybe others will be baked into an OT kit via debuffs off combo actions or something

dusk sky
#

it did on the fewer input preview, no?

mortal flower
#

Shake it off and such having a reprisal baked in

dusk sky
#

(Arms length was on the cross bar)

mortal flower
#

I must've missed it

#

I was too blinded by Round Table

#

😔

rapid whale
#

if ot has more support than pld

#

they are basically gonna be a second shield healer lmao

dusk sky
#

oh, missed this on my first watch,

#

he casted sheltron on Tamaki but it only applied the buffs that proc the counterattack 060_SNIFFA

mortal flower
rapid whale
#

i would kinda be down for an expansion where defensives and healing etc being a group responsibility

#

stuff like mantra actually mattering

whole estuary
#

EVERYONE MITS

rapid whale
#

ya

tulip wraith
#

2min mitt meta

mortal flower
#

Mages Regens HP
Wanderers Barriers

tulip wraith
#

prepare for giga raidwides

dusk sky
#

well like, SMN and PCT have heals built on their 2mins

mortal flower
#

There's absolutely more group responsibilities in mit it seems

rapid whale
#

yes now imagine a world where it actually mattered

mortal flower
#

Or in terms of survivability

rapid whale
#

that would be cool imho

mortal flower
rapid whale
#

like if there was enough dmg output by the fights that you actually felt the smn/pct heals

#

i have a hard time seeing that world but it would be cool

brisk scarab
#

not a big achievement, but I finally finished my spellbook

proper cave
dapper zealot
#

drg with a 90% mit

brisk scarab
#

#

Ive been wanting the morbol mount, but with how low BLU mage content is played right now, it might be a while lol

#

i don’t care what they do i’m not casting gcd heals

valid solar

what if they make casting gcd heals a dps gain

wet stump

man im gonna miss my cast times

#

I know im late to the discussion but Im so hyped for the 8.0 changes

#

Only thing im a little offput is white mage just having glare 3 into high glare be the same button while doing the same thing..?

#

i mean yeah high glare seems to do more damage but

#

i wouldve thought theyd make it a dual cast type thing where glare 3 is a cast and high glare is instant

#

but they did say its still in the work and seeing holy not using any mp seems weird

brisk scarab
#

got my umbrella and new drip!

loud swift
valid solar
#

is that male or female viera I actually cant tell

loud swift
#

seems to be female

valid solar
#

shame

#

I mean what

random needle
loud swift
#

But the direction they are going is really great

loud swift
#

male viera supremacy

valid solar
#

woah lets not get too ahead of ourselves

loud swift
#

too hot to be out in the wild... need to be contained in my house

#

I wonder if the new difficulty of norm raids will be put into roulettes

valid solar
#

probably not

#

extreme trial isnt rolo

#

extreme raid definitely wont be

loud swift
#

that is true, i worry it'll be content that most people wont do because of lack of rewards, but surely they thought of this

valid solar
#

I suspect extreme raid will give the equivalent to limited tome gear

loud swift
#

most people dont even do savages, what do they get from doing this extreme raids

valid solar
#

for example, currently, crafted is 770, tome is 780, savage is 790

#

I expect an extreme raid would give 780

loud swift
#

i also theorize it'll be a way to get glam pieces

#

some of the savage gear looks great but some people cant really get some of the pieces cuz its pretty hard content

#

having an extreme raid give the looks without the stats might be something cool

amber fable
#

I assume the difficulty only governs ilvl

#

You clearing harder content will make you eligible to upgarde gear to higher ilvl

#

Otherwise everything remains same

#

With the battle pass ui

devout wraith
#

I need more info on the gearing system. Are we keeping crit dh det substats stuff?

amber fable
#

And all those bars you need to fill

#

We dunno

#

I want them to open the gear substat slots is all

#

Allow players to choose what substat they want

devout wraith
#

Like how would gear ilvl sync work. Would fending maiming striking aiming etc sets still exist?

#

Would ilvl sync be slot based? Or job based?

amber fable
#

Gear will likely be universal now...needing you to fill your weekly activity bar to upgrade its ilvl

#

Its not confirmed or anything

#

Just guessing based on whats said

#

Hence the gear substat modification

#

Would basically mean you no longer go to shop to buy gear

#

Instead you upgrade it with that ui

#

They showcased

devout wraith
#

How about gear appearance? No more varieties orrrr just less?

amber fable
#

Gear will exist in shops for glams still

#

But your numbers on gear will be seperate

#

Again..i am presuming a lot here

devout wraith
#

Does the new activity ui say anything about gear at all?

jade nimbus
#

There is a tab for savage gear

devout wraith
#

What the heck is this character wearing lmaoo

jade nimbus
devout wraith
#

the gear, not the glam

#

Sword and shield weapons, courtly healing head, fat cat chest? Lmaoo

amber fable
#

Its a showcase bruv

#

Nothing deep

#

Its not even final

devout wraith
#

I know but just weird choices lol

#

Unless this is completely fake or it could be how gear ilvl sync work, since this char is on a reaper but having healer and pld gear..?

amber fable
#

Wait for eu fanfest for more deets

marble grove
#

Gear will remain the same lol

#

You'll still need to level your other jobs and optimise their gear

#

The iLvl thing is mainly to allow you to do content with other jobs if you want to and don't have time to optimise them properly

#

Like... How would they literally show the new gear of the expansion moments later if Gear turned out to be universal namazuconcern

#

And they explained this when they talked about that UI

#

Cmon lads.

amber fable
#

Cuz gear is arbitrarily restricted

#

Theres no hard game logic issue or something where you cant use fending on healer

#

Gear is just a stat file with a model attached

marble grove
#

Gear will remain the same

amber fable
#

Remove model, Remove role restrictions and it becomes universal

marble grove
#

That UI was a mockup

#

No gear changes, as of now

amber fable
#

Yeah but the ui was for what 8.0 will have

marble grove
#

Was a mockup lol

#

It was just a way for them to explain the new stuff

amber fable
#

Seeing how they said you wont have to farm for all roles

#

Yoshi said it too

marble grove
#

sigh we're running in circles

amber fable
#

We ultimately dunno the whole thing so we all are assuming what it can be

marble grove
#

Gear will remain the same way, that much should be somewhat a given

amber fable
#

I will wait for more updates

marble grove
#

The iLvl sync option was a nice change in case your party needs to fill other roles and you're not at that iLvl with a healer for example

#

But the rest will stay the same really

amber fable
#

It might not change but I feel it will

wicked delta
loud swift
#

the only stuff that was said was that you still need to put materia on the secondary jobs to fully maximize its potential. so i dont think its a you only need to gear one job only, just if you wanna run any new content you dont need to gear the heck out of other jobs and get a bunch of catchup gear. just get artifact

amber fable
#

Gearing is something they can tweak out

wicked delta
#

You’d still need to obtain the actual gear if you want to maximize shit

amber fable
#

Hmm

wicked delta
#

All it goes is basically copy bis gear without melds

#

*does

amber fable
#

790 sync is better than 770 penta

wicked delta
#

It would be, yeah

amber fable
#

Might be fine depending on fights

marble grove
#

And if you want to optimise them you'd need to it as well

amber fable
#

Also alt job will sync to your max ilvl right? Minus melds

#

So how sub stat will work...

marble grove
#

That's literally what the sync will do

#

Your max iLvl job can be synced to side jobs

#

But that's just the iLvL

amber fable
#

Crit det level 10 set and now its equal to 790 crit det

marble grove
#

Universal gear just sounds good on paper

amber fable
#

We had down sync till now

#

8.0 will add upsync

devout wraith
#

If the substats carry over when syncing, would it be overall better to instead make a mixed build with the ideal stats for true bis? Like fending head, striking chest, aiming pants, etc... then let it all sync lol

amber fable
#

If it works off base gear substat

#

Its ironically better

#

Dont have to farm shit and just use lower level bis

#

You wont get melds

marble grove
#

I see the UI page they shared just came to confuse people uh

#

Gear wise*

amber fable
#

I was hoping they would change the gearing too

loud swift
amber fable
#

Stat wise

#

They only changed the acquisition

loud swift
#

just grab ur artifact and your good

marble grove
wicked delta
#

Yeah

marble grove
#

I imagine the Sync will only be possible in jobs around the same LvL anyway

wicked delta
#

They should definitely explain more

marble grove
#

Imagine Syncing a LvL 10 job to a LvL 110

devout wraith
marble grove
#

LMAO

#

They used LvL 100 characters in the iLvl sync

#

They were all around the 700s

amber fable
#

Arr pink gears have 3 substats

wicked delta
#

Im ready for raid guys chatting i dont have half of my skills on hotbar yet chatting

marble grove
#

Literally

#

LVL 5 tank tanking Ultimate

#

LMAO

amber fable
#

Only gear wise

#

You will still have to level it up

marble grove
#

Obviously

devout wraith
#

Oh no yeah just ilvl sync not levels lmaooo

marble grove
amber fable
#

I can see arr gears being bis with those aetherial gears

wicked delta
amber fable
#

Det ten dh on one gear

marble grove
wicked delta
#

I know its literally impossible but its funny to think about

#

Taking some idiot who has never played the job before into high end bc they have the ilvl for it now

#

C41 this mf who doesn’t know what half his buttons mean NOW grrr

marble grove
#

The iLvl sync does sound nice cause by then your main job is the only one you need to optimise and the others can be synced and used in case you need to or want to have fun

devout wraith
#

It would remove ilvl requirement for alt jobs tho so its definitely a lighter load, you don't have to grind as much.
The question is, would gearing alts be now completely useless will there be a tradeoff when using a synced gear.

marble grove
#

Which is probably what Avx was saying but I read too much into it xD

marble grove
wicked delta
#

If you care enough

marble grove
#

Which is what YoshiP said

amber fable
#

Melds does make a solid difference

wicked delta
#

So theres still incentive to grind for alt gear

marble grove
#

Ye

wicked delta
#

But its pretty nice to be able to flex to another job on the fly if its necessary

#

Not “sorry cant join I dont have gear for X”

marble grove
#

Truly

loud swift
#

I wanna practice that new drg kit.. it looks fun

#

pvp lb goes crazy

#

wonder what tech can be done with that

marble grove
#

The combat changes looked awesome

amber fable
#

Sinister and dexter...are we doing organic chem again

marble grove
#

But I'm curious about the final version

devout wraith
loud swift
#

i also wonder if it'll trivialize past duties

marble grove
#

What I fear tho...

#

They about to go fucking crazy with Extremes aren't they

amber fable
#

I doubt they will rework everything from 1-100

#

Too much work

loud swift
#

how is UWU going to fare with evolved jobs compared reborn jobs

marble grove
#

They have the budget now

willow jetty
#

who won the cosplay contest last night

marble grove
amber fable
#

I feel evolved will get op af on old stuff

loud swift
#

fight design were made with 2mins in mind

amber fable
#

Core rotation by 50

devout wraith
#

Will they add new melds? Rework materia system so that its much more impactful? Harder or more worth it to acquire etc?

amber fable
#

And those new stuff like counter attack and shit

loud swift
#

i LOVE counter its such a cool idea

amber fable
#

Mit maxing

loud swift
#

i mean... it already kinda existed with tbn on drk

#

but this is a whole new level lol

amber fable
#

New mits are also much lower duration

amber fable
#

More strategic usages

#

Hey endgame lounge I bring a meme for you I’ve found on Twitter

loud swift
#

i think the gapclose to use cover on an ally as paladin is so awesome

loud swift
amber fable
#

Time to become new balan mentor

loud swift
#

the balance has a lot of work to do

wicked delta
#

@robust shoal good luck balance mentor

sullen minnow
#

Balance found in shambles after evolved version was shown

devout wraith
#

What does balance feel about all this

wicked delta
#

Umm

#

From what I can tell everyone just analyzing what this all means atm

amber fable
#

War pepes were dooming cuz war is ot bitch now

Lol

THE GOOD THING ABOUT WHITE MAGE EVOLVED

NO CURE 1 & 2

Cure only

CURE 1 IS KILL

I like how they consolidated Holy Spirit and clemency

#

2 MINUTE META

#

IS KILL

#

HALLELUJAH

loud swift
#

If they remove esteem from dark knight I will riot

wicked delta
#

DNC is killing

worldly grotto
#

Honestly I’m sure the Balance is fine

wicked delta
#

Yeah they’ll be aight

amber fable
#

Its only 4 jobs

dapper zealot
#

Tomes dead
2 min meta dead
BLU dead

sullen minnow
#

I love how everyone rejoiced when they basically said 2 minute meta is dead

amber fable
#

For now

sullen minnow
#

Like yeah we really wanted that thanks

dapper zealot
#

I trust in Mr Prime

#

he hasn't done us wrong

sullen minnow
#

MR PRIME

worldly grotto
#

PS4 support is the real thing being killed

sullen minnow
#

I knew that guy was god when I saw he did picto

loud swift
#

8.3 no more ps4

sullen minnow
#

And he SHOWED TF UP

worldly grotto
#

Which is great news

devout wraith
loud swift
#

Monkey paw curls. You remove ps4 but you gain switch 2

sullen minnow
#

Math boss (ultimate) but you fighting mr prime himself

dapper zealot
amber fable
#

You know ninja used to get huraijin at level 60 job quest

#

And now its gone

sullen minnow
#

Mr prime has not let us down so far 🙏

amber fable
#

Its a trait now

#

So not deleted

#

But trait is lower level iirc

wicked delta
dapper zealot
#

if you survived light rampant, you can survive this

loud swift
#

What will they do for summoner

#

They got rid of the dots from healers to give it to summoner, surely

dapper zealot
#

smn was the real evo test

#

What were the technical reasons why a dot job wouldn't work?

amber fable
#

Smn is already "evolved"

#

Debuff/buff limit

#

And dots dont work in downtime

wicked delta
#

Summoner evolved

devout wraith
#

How can they evolve sumn further?

#

Like actually

loud swift
#

I do like pvp summoner a ton

amber fable
#

It will become like pvp

loud swift
#

Being able to choose whether to summon phoenix or demi bahamut is cool as hell

amber fable
#

I dont remember pvp smn

dapper zealot
#

more importantly would would the difference even be for re/evo pct and vpr??

#

They're already evo

amber fable
#

Rpr wont be guage hungry

loud swift
amber fable
#

I guess

loud swift
#

Its just you get to ruin. Ruin 4 when you do necrotize

devout wraith
#

pvp smn is uhh... Ifrit dash into burst ogcd. Titan does stun? Big bahamut aoe

dapper zealot
#

wait

#

if drg can get their pvp lb

#

surely mch can get sniper

loud swift
#

WAIT

#

YOURE SO RIGHT

#

OMG

dapper zealot
#

PLS

#

PLS MR PRIME

wicked delta
#

MCH sniper would cool as fuck lol

loud swift
#

MCH SNIPER

wicked delta
#

Id forgive his crimes against whm if this happened

devout wraith
#

Whats wrong with whm?

loud swift
#

boring

#

plainer than white bread

wicked delta
#

From boring job to somehow even more boring

amber fable
#

Whm is..samey

#

Less button is all

#

They deleted cure 1 Atleast

#

And consolidated shit

wicked delta
#

Its gonna function somewhat similarly to now I just think thats Bad

loud swift
#

I think cure will be upgraded the higher level you are

#

Cuz they showed high cure

wicked delta
#

I wanted some sauce for next expansion

loud swift
#

Cure 1 gets upgraded to cure 2 so on so forth

amber fable
#

Freecure I should say

loud swift
#

an upgrade scheme that makes sense

devout wraith
#

Based on what I've seen, glare is instant. Gcd heal gives a stacking gauge up to 3 that powers up holy sanct.
The lilies still regenerate overtime and can be activated when using plenary? To turn your gcd heal into afflatus

No blood lily? Does afflatus contribute to holy sanct?

loud swift
#

rather than having cure 1 2 and 3 be all separate buttons that have different use cases

loud swift
dapper zealot
#

I'm surprised they didn't show off blm

worldly grotto
amber fable
#

What they showed already looked alpha

#

So probably didnt even get to it

dapper zealot
#

honestly both drg and brd look great so Im optimistic for the other dps

wicked delta
#

Everything else I can live with

#

Genuinely

loud swift
#

Glare 3 should be a cast while high glare should be instant

#

Like how dual cast works

dapper zealot
#

was holy on the hotbar?

wicked delta
#

Also give me misery back

loud swift
#

Yes

wicked delta
loud swift
#

Holy 3 was shown on hotbar

#

Atleast the icon

dapper zealot
#

imagine weaving holy lmao

loud swift
#

It didnt show any mana. So it might be a "double action" skill like holy authority is for paladin

amber fable
#

Seems like they are going the way I thought they should

#

St focused with falloff

loud swift
#

Holy authority for paladin doesnt show any mana on the icon while its both clemency and holy spirit

amber fable
#

Didnt see aoes as much

devout wraith
#

I'm actually kinda excited what they're cooking on for boss fights now that they made glare instant lmaooo

dapper zealot
#

they'll probably show off aoes in next showcases

#

honestly, this could change how dungeons are made too

loud swift
#

Aoes probably will just be a single button and be that

kind elm
#

so theres honestly a nonzero chance fight design stays pretty similar

amber fable
#

2min is gone

#

So they arent restricted to that cycle

#

Even in reborn

#

I assume its the kit

devout wraith
#

Like are they gonna make some bosses constantly walking around or something? Lmaoo

amber fable
#

They say all can clear

#

But how much effort

#

For reborn vs evolve

dapper zealot
#

I wonder how watashia is holding up kek

devout wraith
#

Or some kinda field event where the boss wants to walk from one point to another and you cant stop it so you just fight it while its moving

#

Return of steps of faith trial? xD

worldly grotto
#

Holy shit they’re putting Elden Ring walking mausoleums in the game

dapper zealot
#

I'm excited to see what they do for dnc

loud swift
#

I wonder if like 2 shields 2 pure healers, they'll make the prangers 2 support orientated 2 dps orientated

devout wraith
#

Did bard showcase show any form of party dps buff still?

loud swift
#

They had songs

#

Which stuff buff others pretty sure

devout wraith
#

Utility songs afaik? Shield song, movespeed song, regen song

loud swift
#

Yeah so very minor mit buffs

#

Wonder if dnc will still damage buff their dance partner

dapper zealot
#

brd and whm get expediant now :)

rotund summit
#

so BRD would have a party buff every 60s now, but it seems counter to their goals so idk

devout wraith
rotund summit
#

yea its a shorter one, 10s buff (unknown what it does) and access to Radiant Encore

amber fable
#

Combat will be short burst with sustained dps

#

So instead of big spikes..more gradual crests

loud swift
#

even if it was a damage buff, no jobs rotation is going to be at the same speed so i doubt it'll be the same buff window meta

rotund summit
#

but fewer total group buffs so you wouldnt have the giant spreadsheets like back then

amber fable
#

Will rdps finally die

rotund summit
#

... or they could make buffs not stack multiplicatively, which would help a lot as well

amber fable
#

It only came due to dnc anyway

dapper zealot
#

wait did brd look like it was still proc based?

amber fable
#

It gets proc

#

But dont look rng

#

Its song based

dapper zealot
#

honestly better, doesn't make sense for brd to be rng

#

also makes dnc more unique

devout wraith
#

Yoship did two songs at the same time but i think that's not idea because you overwrite the previous buttons? Lol

zealous meteor
#

rng as in random or rng as in ranger

dapper zealot
#

don't have to constantly keep them up anymore, like no reason to upkeep mit/regen

rotund summit
#

you're on somewhat of a 1m cycle (song cooldown charges) but since the songs are only like 10-12s in duration you have more freedom of when you actually use them

devout wraith
#

You have 60s free form rotation and that ends into a 10s party buff which I bet could be an opportunity for the rest of the party to dump their big damage buttons into.

rotund summit
#

i'm not smart enough to map out DRG from what we saw in terms of timings

#

but id suspect every job comes down to a X-second reset where you can shuffle the order and timings of your charges within the window

loud swift
#

Id have to look into how long the drg buffs are for. but you can definitely hold resources as drg (the jumps)

rotund summit
#

jumps are 3 charges, 20s recast

loud swift
#

your "lb" on drg comes from doing your 3 jumps

rotund summit
#

oh so drg is also 1m

amber fable
#

From positional wasn it

loud swift
#

No thats for a different button

amber fable
#

Wyrmwind I think

loud swift
#

Wait

devout wraith
#

Bye bye 2min rotations, hello 1 minute rotations lmaooo

loud swift
#

I need to check again

#

I dont wanna be saying bullshit

amber fable
#

I saw rinon vid

#

Cuz I was asleep during fest

loud swift
#

Yup doing all 3 jumps give you starduver

#

stardiver allows u to "lb"

rotund summit
loud swift
#

You can also hold stardiver for as long as you want. Blood of the dragon stacks dont disappear

rotund summit
#

the charges forming a loop i think is kinda smart, it doesnt punish as heavy for strict downtime, every job so far benefits from PCT-type downtime

amber fable
#

That is the intention

#

Yes

mortal flower
amber fable
#

40 is for imperator

loud swift
#

Yup ok the "lb" (sky high) can be held for as long as needed. Star diver gives a 4 combo rotation that is on a timer. So im pretty sure you can hold sky high and star diver if you hold your resources correctly. But IDK if raid buffs are going to be prevalent at all

amber fable
#

More staggered around burst

amber fable
#

Brd radiant encore had a buff

mortal flower
amber fable
#

But we dunno if its damage or something else

loud swift
#

Could just be crit. Could be a nothing burger. Dont know yet

Radiant encore's buff isnt known yet

It may as well buff crit rate

dapper zealot

but other jobs could be on different timers

so they're not all just 1 min

I am sure phasing and holding will be a thing

But seems everyone is getting passive guage regen

So less thinking for that

They removed my dot from drg and im sad

amber fable
#

Good they deleted all dots

somber forge
#

not sure why they have such an aversion to dots

zealous meteor
#

well you see, after the FRU incident,

#

(/s)

dapper zealot
#

It's going to be so confusing running duty, seeing the drg or sam not applying their dot and thinking "look at this idiot"

#

then remembering evo kits don't have dots

amber fable
#

I assume most of things will carry acroas both modes

dapper zealot
#

actually, I'm curious if there's a way to know which kit a party member is using

mortal flower
amber fable
#

So dot will be gone on reborn too...i might be wrong

mortal flower
amber fable
#

But they cant have too drastic variation between kits

loud swift
mortal flower
#

Like reborn has the meteor icon

amber fable

Bard dot is like few secs on evolve

dapper zealot
amber fable
#

I actually didnt see if it was few sec or not

#

I could be wrong there

devout wraith
#

30s upkeep for drg is kinda crazy. This new mode isnt ez mode after all. Its intuitive but if you're wanting to optimize your damage, this is kind of a lot of uptime demands lol

loud swift

Uptime was always a thing

Its nothing new

amber fable

Its left right and back now

loud swift

More thinking

amber fable
#

So cant he just at any flank

mortal flower
#

Correct

#

One left one right one behind

amber fable
#

Sinister for left, dexter for right

#

Heavens for back

mortal flower

Just put it on Circle X Square

devout wraith
mortal flower
#

Gamepad winning

dapper zealot
#

oh was there no rear?

loud swift
#

The chaotic thrust button is for rear

#

Heavensward gauge is for your sky high button

mortal flower
#

^

devout wraith
#

Does chaotic thrust not give gauge?

mortal flower
#

Gauge is over time for all jobs rn

#

It's equalizing the downtime play field rn

#

So you're not boned if you need enemy interaction for gauge

#

All E jobs will have the over time stocking and building

devout wraith
#

Cuz the left gives sinister, the right gives dexter

loud swift
#

Left is sinister right is dexter. Getting both allows you to cast the green circled button which is a rear attack

#

Casting 3 vengeful jumps allows you to get the heavensward gauge filled

mortal flower
#

Something about potency buffs/buffs for hitting left and right

amber fable
#

Basically left/right then back

#

Left right can be done in any order

mortal flower
#

Left right back wait for refresh with normal combo

amber fable
#

Iirc

devout wraith
#

Ohhh okay my mistake, the rear is the proc

loud swift
mortal flower
#

But yeah

loud swift
#

It seems bottom button is filler

mortal flower
#

E. Jobs are here to like equalize downtime and give the jobs their niches back

devout wraith
#

3 positionals is nuts

amber fable
#

They are using old icons

mortal flower
#

Alongside cool new [defesive?] oriented buffs

amber fable
#

Cuz alpha

Release might have new icons

#

And names too

mortal flower
devout wraith
#

I want them to keep all this. This looks fun af

mortal flower

🤣

loud swift
#

Fillin up my dexter gauge like im in the laboratory

dapper zealot
#

definitely new names, like whm has high cure now

amber fable
#

loud swift
#

ALSO apparently there will be better feedback whether or not youre in the correct position to hit a positional

#

So thats good to look out for

amber fable
#

More mod implantation

dapper zealot
#

I have that plugin that turns the numbers green, but even that's still hard af to see when you're juggling other things

mortal flower
#

Honestly with WHM changes I'm super hopeful that we'll have properly dangerous fights [not just savage]

#

More healing. More mit. More defence.

amber fable
#

Thats called advanced raids

mortal flower
#

Make survival a team effort

#

Not just a healer thing

amber fable
#

Glad they realized the jump to savage is tad bit big

#

For noobs

mortal flower
amber fable
#

A bit

loud swift
#

Ik my selfish ass is gonna wait to use sky high during mega raid wides and mitigate 90% of damage

mortal flower
#

P8S -> P9S made me crash out

#

The only other thing I cleared beyond 8S [in the above EX tier] was Cod Chaotic

dapper zealot
#

With how much better DT combat is, it seems reasonable to say 8.0 will be another bump up

dapper zealot
#

Also I hope this rework will make the new dungeons actually good

amber fable
#

Curious about ally raid routes

#

So you can choose what boss to kill first?

loud swift
#

That too they gave no information about that yet.

#

Wait til berlin fanfest

devout wraith

Some kinda voting system? Lol

What DoT? I'm up in the air

amber fable

Floor tank vs real tanks

mortal flower

Will you play beta reborn floor tank dragoon or the chad evolved actual tank dragoon

dapper zealot

But didnt elaborate

amber fable

I am sure in ult people will do that

#

Lock goon for tb

loud swift
#

Taking tank towers as a dragoon with sky high

#

Sky high comes around every 1min

#

3 vengeful jumps = 1 sky high
1 vengeful jump = 20 seconds

amber fable
#

They will nerf the mit at release

#

Probably

#

90% mit is lb3

#

Legit

dapper zealot
#

yeah they mentioned they'll almost certainly adjust it

loud swift
#

The thought is still funny

amber fable
#

Can see boss with adds

visual geyser
#

Just realized that paladin is the first tank that can gap close into their allies

amber fable
#

Also gapclose cover

#

Yeah

loud swift
#

I dont think it'll be exclusive

visual geyser
#

It better be

amber fable
#

Gapcloser all utility

loud swift
#

I can 100% see dark knight and/or gunbreaker gapclosing to allies to apply tbn or hoc

visual geyser
#

That’s lame

#

Those two can already shoot em

devout wraith
#

I personally feel current cover is much better than gap close cover. You can lose uptime doing gap close cover and you can even gap close to a bad aoe if the one you're covering is under a bad aoe lol

amber fable
#

Cover isnt gapcloser per se..its the gapcloser which has this property

#

If you select enemy it will do intervene

loud swift
#

Didnt the video show the paladin gap closing to an ally?

amber fable
#

Yes

#

And does cover

loud swift
#

It is a design choice

terse zodiac
#

New cover would be miles better than what we have now simply for not costing anything

amber fable
#

Cover squishy

#

During blades

#

Can you chain cover tho

devout wraith
#

No the fact that cover is tied to the gap closer is what makes it dangerous, cuz instead of you saving an ally under a bad aoe, now both of you will be under a bad aoe and you'll be the only one taking damage for both

amber fable
#

Like 2 allies in quick succession

loud swift
#

I mean the evolved paladin showcase doesnt even have a tank stance button

amber fable
#

I wanna see that lol

loud swift
#

Im sure its still being worked on

terse zodiac
#

Being able to react at any point to recover and set up strats to use it will be huge

amber fable
#

Voke gives stance

terse zodiac

Provoke to give stance for 10 seconds sounds horrible for dungeons

You voke and stance turns on

terse zodiac

Unless all aoe actions have increased enmity

loud swift

Yea

amber fable

Aoe voke can be useful

Not everywhere

visual geyser

Did paladin not have a set aoe button? I need to see the hotbar again

amber fable

But it has its place

terse zodiac

None had aoe buttons

Probably just left off

Yeah

loud swift
#

Dragoon doesnt have aoe rotation either

amber fable

Falloff damage

If no aoes

loud swift

Dont play bard so idk about that one either

visual geyser

No aoe rotations is pretty cursed ngl

amber fable

Look at mch

Yea it sucks

I mean white mage showed to have holy but they never pressed it lol

visual geyser

We really gonna be pressing 111 on every job omegabruh

terse zodiac

True lol white mage only one with aoe

amber fable
#

You can play reborn

#

For 123

visual geyser
#

Might be the wave for dungeons

loud swift
#

Why play reborn when evolved more fun

terse zodiac
#

Maybe holy isnt their aoe anymore

clear plume
#

They did aoe combo on drg too.

devout wraith
#

I would like instant holy too

amber fable
#

It basically will be st combo with falloff

mortal flower
loud swift

Your aoe is locked behind your 1min

amber fable

No, I mean the actual aoe combo they used that was a different button set

Cringe cringe cringe

terse zodiac

That was the followup to stardiver after 3 jumps

dapper zealot
#

trust in mr prime

visual geyser

ain’t no way we doing single target damage during dungeons

loud swift

There is no aoe combo in this

devout wraith

Mr Prime delivers

amber fable

It will all cleave

#

So like..same shit

loud swift
#

We werent shown what the bottom button does

terse zodiac
#

Bottom is the 1-2-3-4

devout wraith
rotund summit
#

the aoe combo i believe is just your ST buttons when other targets are present

dapper zealot
#

it could simply be not all the buttons are on the hotbar

rotund summit
#

(which is a bit boring)

visual geyser
#

How many buttons is that on the bar

rotund summit
#

they specifically mentioned consolidating skills which were the aoe equivalent of ST skills

#

16

visual geyser
#

Isn’t 16 buttons their goal too

amber fable
#

Max 16

devout wraith
#

I mean this is how I do my hotbars as a controller player. My aoe buttons is on another separate set without the single target buttons.

amber fable
#

Your damage buttons wont be 16

visual geyser
#

How many buttons is pld

amber fable
#

Idk

visual geyser
#

In the game rn

loud swift
visual geyser
#

They have so many fucking buttons

#

Slop job ngl

#

My paladin bars are completely filled

devout wraith
loud swift
dapper zealot
#

I don't think it's literally only 16 skills, more like 16 buttons and most will be changing into other things

loud swift
#

Thats the paladin buttons

terse zodiac
#

Evolved dragoon flow doesnt even make sense for aoe, itd have to have something completely different

amber fable
#

Your damage buttons are like 6

#

In them

marble grove
#

1 button does multiple things depending on the target

amber fable
#

Yes

#

Thats the point

dapper zealot
marble grove
#

So it's still most of the old skills but condensed into one button

#

That's literally all it is lol

terse zodiac
#

Noy really at all

marble grove
#

And ofc some stuff was changed around like burst dmg and shish

terse zodiac
#

For paladin yes, for others no

mortal flower

bash is merged

loud swift

Shield lob is shield bash close range

mortal flower

I know what it does in E mode

loud swift

I dont even have shield bash on my paladin bar

Lol

amber fable

Its on the side

For me

mortal flower

That's the point

amber fable
#

Very corner

mortal flower

Too many buttons

devout wraith

Shield bash is highly situational even in deep dungeon cuz low blow is low enough cd lol

amber fable
#

Well its basic attack now

#

If you lob

#

Lob the bash

mortal flower
#

Now give me flash back

loud swift
#

With buff windows no longer being the meta, shield bash might be a TINY bit more useful

#

Only by a smidge

#

#

Stun boss cast

loud swift
#

Also lowblow and interject being on the same cd

jade nimbus
#

Time for fflogs erasure

amber fable
#

Thought so

clear plume
#

Flattening damage curve makes it higher cost to give up a single gcd, not lower, assuming it’s out of said burst window

loud swift
clear plume
#

I mean, I’m certainly not going to be parsing on an evolved job, it’s a 3 button dps rotation, what’s there to optimize

amber fable
#

Press 1 to win

quasi stag
clear plume
#

Even being somebody who is waiting to see how it plays out with release schedule changes, it’s not bc parsing will be good next expack

terse zodiac
#

White mage going from 6 to 2 damage buttons and acting like they made the damage rotation more fun was certainly a take

jade nimbus
#

It is a joke (at least for me)

clear plume
#

Actual slot machine parsing with close to zero opti

rotund summit
loud swift
clear plume
#

We can assume those goals with the example given is relevant

rotund summit
#

the average EW parser would explode seeing DT savage content, im just saying you dont know what you'd even be measuring these toolboxes against

clear plume
#

Parsers and HC players are simply not the target audience for the changes

#

What’s that even supposed to mean? Who do you think was world racing the dt savage content

wicked delta
devout wraith
#

10s 3x stack constant gauge for drg is pretty tight imo considering you don't wanna overcap on them. 2 of those builds into a rear combo combo. 3 usage jumps accompanied by those gauge spenders is another burst combo every 60s. Ideally...? 6 gauge spenders every 60s meaning 2 rear combo fillers.

Its free form in a way that you dont have a rigid order but its kinda busy and tight every 60s

amber fable
#

You do get disengage tools

#

Depends on what kind of fights they will cook

devout wraith
#

And your sky high can be held which is probably not ideal if you wanna maximize dps in the long run

#

But mitigation opportunities

clear plume
#

Like they literally said the goal was to remove group optimizations and that they understand that’s not good news for people, but to please be patient because it has upsides too bc it makes content easier to design and whatnot

#

It’s not correct to simply ignore that and pretend it’s not relevant bc we haven’t seen new drk or something

terse zodiac
#

It would only be tight if youre trying to actually move to hit each positional, but you can ignore 3 per minute so just stay in your clockspot and its easy

clear plume
#

They literally said what the design philosophy was, most HC players are waiting to see how it plays out, but not bc of excited to parse on them

terse zodiac
#

Hit your flank, jump, hit opposite flank without moving, hit back, then you have 30s to do that combo again freeform

clear plume
#

If parsing dies so we go back to a shorter patch schedule and get 2 ultimates plus quantum plus chaotic plus criterion etc

#

Then as a HC player there will still be enough for me, but if that isn’t met then maybe the game won’t be for me either, doesn’t mean I’m not going to give it a fair shake

loud swift
#

I mean maybe we can assume more content cuz they were developing this behind the scenes

#

Every job being reworked isnt a small order

terse zodiac
#

Ngl having every single job designed by 1 person gives me doubts about the balance

amber fable
#

Overworld content rework is what I am interested in ngl

devout wraith
#

There will be parsing but its gonna be based on your performance not based on pre-planning and/or heavily 2min burst party synergy me thinks.

There's still some raid buffs it seems like, the brd has a 10s raid buff every 1min it seems like, which is a pretty neat window to dump everyone's big damage skills imo

loud swift
#

So cant really count on that

rotund summit
#

im curious what they'll do with dancer

amber fable
#

Maybe prange will have some small buffs here and there

terse zodiac
#

Look at dnc in pvp to get a brief idea

devout wraith
#

I would not like dnc pvp in pve lmao. Constant dashing is gonna be obnoxious

amber fable
#

Hopefully lower range tax

terse zodiac
#

Dnc doesnt even need to change to fit the new system, theyd just remove the party buff from tech finish

amber fable
#

They won't remove it completely

terse zodiac
#

Buffing 1 person perpetually would still fit the new design

loud swift
#

Raid buffs seems to be whats axed, not individual buffs

jade nimbus
terse zodiac
#

No, tech step can still exist just as a big hit, and devilment is fine bc single target

jade nimbus
#

I mean, ye, they would need to remove tech step party buff

devout wraith
#

Something wacky like standard step becomes like curing waltz. It also comes out of your dp so now it can hit twice.

clear plume
#

Things like cpm difference is why it would be death to parsing, the actual skill ceiling is just much lower.

Right now a huge part of being a skilled prange is the apm requirements of the job on a 14 hour prog day with current bard as an example being a fairly strict job at a high level that punishes you pretty hard for major mistakes, new bard simply doesn’t have that expression.

#

Like the optimization for the class is gone, press your songs loosely enough on cd to not overcap every 20s, press the heavy shot otherwise, and that’s the optimization

#

From what we’ve seen

#

And the lower the skill ceiling of a job is, the less fun there is to try and reach it

terse zodiac
#

Im pretty sure they can do like raidwide haste buffs or things like that now too for like astro to replace 2 minute damage increase

clear plume
#

Because “just crit more” is simply how it works when 95% of players are pressing the same button

amber fable
#

We dunno all jobs kits yet..hard to say how piss easy it will be

#

And also what kind of fights in 8.0

#

If they cook good

clear plume
#

We once again, literally know what design they’re aiming for

amber fable
#

It can be fun

clear plume
#

Hardcore players are simply not the audience for the class changes

amber fable
#

Reborn mode

terse zodiac
#

I also highly doubt theyll balance each mode for situations like 2 target

amber fable
#

Reborn is meant to die

#

Probably

#

New jobs dont have it

#

Only till pct/vpr

wicked delta
#

Not probably, it just will

terse zodiac
#

Jobs that excel at 2 target now will probably do much better than evolved in those situations

loud swift
#

Reborn is just the old versions of jobs, of course newer jobs dont have it

wicked delta
#

It’ll be gone by 9.0 if not earlier depending on feedback

dapper zealot
#

Reborn shouldn't last longer than next expac. Absolutely no reason to keep dragging it into 9.0

loud swift
#

Reborn will be phased out and removed

#

as a non hc player and doesnt care about parses. i like the new jobs. but i can see why some people dont like it

amber fable
#

Most likely by 9.0

#

Wont be gone this expac

rotund summit
#

saying that all content can be cleared with reborn AND that evolved is stronger concerns me for the tuning of content

my main concern is how will evolved jobs perform in older content
