Yuh

#

They’ll make evolved smn better tho

visual geyser
#

I trust that much atleast

#

Facts man

#

It’s been 5 years since EW

tender jolt
#

hard fucking doubt but that's just me

jade nimbus
#

It is also why I don't see them changing the pet range, mostly cause it is meant to be the regen for sch, so having to move it around to heal people would feel wack

visual geyser
#

Basically

rapid whale
#

i wonder what the chances r they will delete res altogether to do away with res tax on rdm/smn

wicked delta
#

I remember eating shit and dying in M10 because the healers forgot I existed

tender jolt
#

smn made me lose most of my faith in reworks being better than before

wicked delta
rapid whale
wicked delta
#

Started begging the tank to give me a mit so I could live

#

It was miserable

visual geyser
#

They might nerf the raises but they won’t remove em no way

tender jolt
jade nimbus
visual geyser
#

Especially for RDM

teal hill
#

We literally got the guy who made the universally liked PvP rework and nearly all the good Jobs' initial kits.

#

I think Evolvedi s going to be fine

wicked delta
#

Looking at whm

#

I disagree

rapid whale
#

i think th at depends heavily on fight design

wicked delta
visual geyser
#

WHM didn’t look that bad

rapid whale
#

if it actually leverages the changes evolved mode brings im for it but

teal hill
wicked delta
#

It looked that bad to me

tender jolt
#

Oh I think evolved will probably be ok

I think smn will find an even deeper level of the bottom of the trash to sink to
It's an inevitability

rapid whale
#

given their track record, the more likely scenario is that the changes are just meant to reduce failure states

versed kayak
visual geyser

versed kayak
visual geyser
#

Scholar at the very least should feel like a pet tactian

tender jolt
jade nimbus
#

Mhm, I don't fully agree with that

versed kayak
#

They said they were considering removing smn rez for 7.0 already

teal hill
#

For me the appeal of Evolved is finally getting buttons that aren't just 'fancy-looking high-potency burst'

visual geyser
#

I forgot they wanted to remove smn

rapid whale
#

og smn mains must feel like watching their childhood crush at a strip club

jade nimbus
#

Cause they kinda moved away from the pet identity for sch ages ago

teal hill
#

And so far we have them

rapid whale
#

seeing what has happened to their fav job

jade nimbus
#

But also we'll have to see

visual geyser
versed kayak
teal hill
#

Paladin has a parry, Dragoon has an actual Jump with damage reduction, Bard gets a cool directional jump.

tender jolt
wicked delta
#

I just hope they let people fuck up jobs but as said earlier that probably won’t happen

rapid whale
#

dam

visual geyser
rapid whale
#

yea rn it seems like "order who gaf as long as you activate it, wanna opti? get it all under your pot"

#

but we must wait and see

wicked delta
#

Yeah

teal hill
#

Even White Mage got a GCD heal-powered nuke

wicked delta
#

Im willing to let them cook

#

But I wont pretend I have faith in them

#

Lmao

wicked delta
#

Especially since its 1 fucking guy doing all of it

visual geyser
#

Well it’s not 1 guy lmao

teal hill
#

Obsessing over optimizing rotations is how we got into the 2 minute meta

tender jolt
rapid whale
tender jolt
#

okay i think you need to keep that opinion in the kitchen brother

visual geyser
#

In the sense that it’s not like he doesn’t have a team of people who he’s working with

teal hill
#

Some Jobs will be more difficult than others

wicked delta
rapid whale
#

im gonna be blunt, do you really think because you are a casual that the more hard core players opinions dont matter

versed kayak
tender jolt
#

and the jobs aren't fun to play if there is no difference in skill level between picking it up and having played it for years. next question, please?

teal hill
#

The idea that Jobs right now are not braindead is the biggest meme in the endgame community.

rapid whale
#

nobody is saying that

tender jolt
#

this is the type of logic that got smn gutted in endwalker

wicked delta
#

Who said that man

teal hill
tender jolt
#

why are you saying these things

versed kayak
#

I liked having to think about my cartridges on GNB, messing it up punished me by overcapping with bloodfest, or missing a cartridge in burst

Now you just press bloodfest on cd and it's whatever

rapid whale
#

flappy bird is a simpler game than super mario that does not mean they are the same thing

teal hill
#

Nintendo Wii?

visual geyser
#

Not even remotely thinking about optimization for jobs that are 9 months still in dev

#

Personally

teal hill
#

Get that clique mentality out of here

tender jolt
#

p sure you said earlier you dont do savages

teal hill
#

Brother thinks he's still in High School omegalul

tender jolt
#

but you do do ad hominems

#

so that's what counts, doesn't it?

wicked delta
#

They said they did Endwalker savages

#

A few

#

But not any of the current ones apparently so like

versed kayak
#

I'm just hoping the recent changes they made for jobs were just bandaid fixes and nothing more

wicked delta
tender jolt
rapid whale
#

i respect the desire to wanna talk about stuff but the lack of exp makes it hard for me to take the opinions srs

visual geyser
#

EW savage and DT savage meh

wicked delta
#

Have you even done DT savages

#

?

teal hill
visual geyser
#

Yes???

tender jolt
visual geyser
#

Tf

wicked delta
visual geyser
#

Oh

wicked delta
#

Not trying to be condescending im just curious

teal hill
#

I quit the game in 6.4 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

tender jolt
#

of course they did

rapid whale
#

drop the tomestone /sarcasm

jade nimbus
#

Side note, I do think VPR is more of a blue print for evolved jobs than what they showed, and I feel like they prob used that as a testing ground to see if people liked it

rapid whale
#

yea same

#

i think pct/vpr are both prime examples of what we can expect out of evolved

tender jolt
#

'endgame community' my ass. ah well. back to minecraft

teal hill
visual geyser
jade nimbus
#

Also I know that breaking 123 combo has some niche on some jobs, but condensing the button into one I think is a good thing overall

rapid whale
#

yea pct is what makes me hopeful

visual geyser
tender jolt
#

because you don't have any frame of reference as to what you're talking about

visual geyser
#

But the game philosophy didn’t change that drastically between the two expansions

teal hill
#

What are you even talking about

rapid whale
#

i said it before i knew it was prime but whoever designed pct actually plays the game because it had all the considerations for old ultis in mind when designing their kits; VERY contrary to vpr which doesnt feel like a real job until like 100

jade nimbus
visual geyser
#

If you were a decent player in EW you’d still be decent in DT

wicked delta
#

I also hope PCT is more what they take after than VPR

#

VPR is just RPR 2 and RPR back in Endwalker already kinda sucked

tender jolt
#

vpr getting its damage vuln removed in week 1 was

a decision

jade nimbus
#

Vpr pretty much has 2 continuation buttons, and the aweken reuses all the buttons you already put on your hotbar

versed kayak
#

They should've kept the picto right-click-your-buff opti /s

teal hill
#

By the way my distaste of the 2 minute meta isn't like

#

a new thing

rapid whale
#

they should have kept super opo ball

teal hill
#

I didn't like it in Endwalker and I'm glad it's going to be gone

rapid whale
visual geyser
#

I didn’t like how the 2 minute window felt in certain jobs

#

2 min on bard i found trash asf

wicked delta
#

Most people here will agree the 2 min meta was either eh or just sucks

#

Thats not the problem

jade nimbus
visual geyser
#

Every 2 minutes you just slam your head on every possible

wicked delta
#

Deleting it entirely feels like a bandaid fix

visual geyser
#

Dying on bard finally won’t feel terrible too

#

Didn’t even think about that haha

wicked delta
#

Because jobs are simply not that complex. Evolved mode doesn’t look like it’ll make them much more interesting than what they are now

teal hill
rapid whale
visual geyser
#

Not monk

#

Monk barely has ogcds to press

rapid whale
#

monka

teal hill
#

I've said this before but a good chunk of the FFXIV community doesn't seem to know what they actually want in terms of changes

visual geyser
#

Bard literally has ogcds for the sake of having them and could be removed and no one would care lol

wicked delta
#

I think my position has been pretty clear from the start

#

I want friction

versed kayak
wicked delta
#

I want something to fail at

#

And I simply don’t see it happening

rapid whale
#

that goes against like all design choices for the last 5 years tho ye

teal hill
#

Again I'm not really sure what that means

#

What does friction mean in this case?

versed kayak
teal hill
#

Wht does 'failing' at your Job mean?

wicked delta
#

I don’t have hope for evolved mode whatsoever because devs are likely not interested in creating friction, they just want everything to be accessible to every player

dusk sky
#

…man you’re trying to propose changes without having played the game in 3 years

rapid whale
#

jk obv

visual geyser
#

you meant it

rapid whale
#

nuh uh

wicked delta
#

Yeah you totally meant that

versed kayak
visual geyser
#

People liked that?

teal hill
dusk sky
#

Honestly I noticed a like… how to phrase it, between EW and DT my %’s falling off, averages and such. I guess I blame tiers being cleared quicker and more and more parse runs being done VOICES

visual geyser
#

I personally hated dying on bard and my songs being an absolute mess but different strokes

versed kayak
teal hill
#

So does this mean that right now is the point in time where FFXIV's Jobs have the highest amoutn of friction, because a single drift can screw up your entire DPS profile?

visual geyser
#

Bard is one of the biggest offenders of the 2 min meta absolutely fucking the job

teal hill
#

And if that's the case

#

Why do people complain there's no friction?

rapid whale
teal hill
#

You can't have it both ways.

wicked delta
# teal hill Wht does 'failing' at your Job mean?

Gunbreaker’s rotation getting mega fucked if you didn’t time your cartridges . Hell, if you wanna go back to something even older, you should lose your combo if you don’t hit your positionals

rapid whale
#

this is prob the lowest amount of friction in the history of the game

versed kayak
wicked delta
versed kayak
#

most other jobs don't really have that

wicked delta
#

Every other job has had their friction removed

#

In this very expansion

visual geyser
#

Monk kinda has it

rapid whale
#

not compared to ew mnk

visual geyser
#

Dying can fuck up riddle of fire and brotherhood

tender jolt
#

because most jobs take about 5 minutes to learn the rotations to and even then that basically amounts to just press the glowing button

Sole remaining exception is maybe samurai and monk, and even then

visual geyser
#

Which is annoying as fuck

wicked delta
#

They lobotomized monk in DT compared to what it used to be

visual geyser
#

Meh

#

Still fun uwucarby

tender jolt
#

Most jobs are impossible to play badly

Short of not pressing buttons

wicked delta
#

Not saying you cant find it fun

#

But it is what happened

#

Lol

rapid whale
#

its just almost every job has examples of them taking out friction points

dusk sky
#

I mean what is “friction”

versed kayak
#

They've just turned it into press glowy buttons which is sad

tender jolt
#

And the developers see it as their duty to ensure that people can't play it badly

Instead of simply allowing some people to be bad at video games

versed kayak
#

and still didn't fix PB at 50, at least evolved will fix that

visual geyser
#

It’s a hard balance because friction to someone is really fucking annoying to other people

teal hill
dusk sky
#

Other than, say, how much they’ve stripped out BLM’s failure points

rapid whale
boreal pumice
teal hill
#

Because so far the answer to what 'friction' is

wicked delta
#

What Bapple said

visual geyser
#

Like sometimes “friction” is literally just jank

boreal pumice
#

for the best

teal hill
#

is just making a Job have arbitrary things that punish not playing literally perfectly.

versed kayak
rapid whale
#

fr whenever tobi talks about mentor roulette i just tell myself tobi is a freak fr for doing it

visual geyser
#

Depends really it’s a hard balance

teal hill
#

Like combos dropping from not hitting positionals

versed kayak
#

I'd call some things on SCH jank but they're still fun to play around

visual geyser
#

Like moving out of TENCHIJIN was friction

versed kayak
#

there's also bad jank though, not all jank is good

tender jolt
#

Jobs having skill expression is a good thing

It is something to do

It gives a reward to being good at things

teal hill
boreal pumice
wicked delta
dusk sky
#

Man I hope Evolved SCH puts most the healing on the faerie

visual geyser
#

Am I upset that you can cast TENCHIJIN while moving tho?

Not really personally

versed kayak
tender jolt
#

Jobs having no skill expression whatsoever (smn) is bad

teal hill
tender jolt
#

Because why would I ever bother

rapid whale
#

the only decision making in the evolved rotations is whether you're banking for a pot, based on what has been shown so far]

#

but again we are sorely lacking info

teal hill
#

Genuine question

versed kayak
dusk sky
#

Atp i’d be also be super curious about Evolved AST, like uhhhh,

tender jolt
#

evolved's mission statement to be streamlined is literally counter to the idea of making active decisions but not like we've seen anything

dusk sky
#

If it’s still a ST buffer wouldn’t it need to be loosely aware of all its parties’ dps kits to know the best time to card ‘em

teal hill
#

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, either that or I'm the only one here who actually lookd at Evolved footage with any analysis

tender jolt
#

i'm thinking it's the former more than the latter, brother

visual geyser
rapid whale
tender jolt
visual geyser
#

Astrodyne was fucking awful

rapid whale
#

to put it another way, in the current system you might have gcd routes a b and c, in evolved mode it's just a

visual geyser
#

What a bad system

tender jolt
#

yeah I know its just funny

versed kayak
#

astrodyne was only fun in casual content when nothing else was going on

visual geyser
#

All this arguing when we have only seen them attack a striking dummy is funny

teal hill
dusk sky
rapid whale
#

things like moving a 2min back by a whole 1min to align with your 3rd pot

#

yeah okay

#

this is where your lack of exp is showing

tender jolt
teal hill
rapid whale
#

literally the first fight of the tier changes what you're talking about lol

visual geyser
#

I can see things like DRG having to do left and right positionals get really interesting depending on the fight

tender jolt
vestal hollow
dusk sky
#

I liked how on paper the two seal buff was stronger than the three seal buff but parse mind demanded you go for 3 always sadaurene

rapid whale
visual geyser
rapid whale
#

as opposed to just banking your own resources and timing it when it's most convenient for you

rapid whale
#

again, it's about the idea that you have to take more data points into account when coming to the decision

teal hill
#

The only variant here is 2 minute buff windows

tender jolt
vestal hollow
rapid whale
#

eg a party with low dps on m9s was encouraged to go for a triple pot, push back the 8min to 9

jade nimbus
rapid whale
#

but a party with good dps wouldnt wanna do that

wicked delta
teal hill
#

And I hate to say it but 2 minute buffs are just a 'is everyone playing their Jobs correctly' check

dusk sky
jade nimbus
#

Since they want to do a MT or OT split

wicked delta
#

If people recognize patterns they will judge from that

jade nimbus
#

And everything else is kinda the same

wicked delta
#

Jobs objectively have gotten easier compared to what they used to be

#

There is no denying it

dusk sky
#

Like Evolved BRD is Evolved’s best foot forward atm, wth is Evolved DRG

visual geyser
#

Or noticing someone not using their raid buff lol

wicked delta
#

People don’t have a reason to believe it’ll magically change with EC

rapid whale
#

like the way you are arguing all of this sounds a lot like, "meat is meat, you apply heat"

#

(Also the new cover is worse than the old cover tbf, but it might be used in dual tank tank busters I guess)

tender jolt
teal hill
#

Also something that Mr. Prime said

rapid whale
#

and sayign there's no difference of beef to goat to fish etc

#

it's just ignorant

teal hill
#

Is that they want to move away from the concept of building Jobs that have 'one correct way to play'

dusk sky

You drift and you play the most unfun game ever

Dooming 9 months in advance can’t be good for the heart

Im willing to wait and see what they’ll do but again, I am not going to pretend I have hope that its going to be fun

All I’m seeing in chat is that the devs were genius for keeping reborn in the game haha

rapid whale

It’s funny how much Evolved as whole just looks like “we gave Mr PvP the keys to the building and he may have set bombs around a couple floors”

rapid whale

oh wait you don't get the reference

As per your own admission you barely did savages

They want you to play Evolved

haha mmo players the only people to purposely make themselves suffer in order to have a higher fake number

L O L

wicked delta
#

Its like taking not pre nerf PCT into FRU

teal hill
#

Reborn existing is a temporary bandaid for crotchety old players who hate change

dusk sky
#

For now I’m definitely assuming the damage difference between the two isn’t that wide, and is compensation for Evolved having more fluid rotations or a higher reward for “being played well”

valid solar
wicked delta
#

You may not like the job but who cares how you feel

tender jolt
dusk sky
#

I do, however, expect that gulf to be wider down the line, but not so much at launch

teal hill
rapid whale
#

heck i expect them to fully delete reborn by 9.0

vestal hollow
visual geyser
#

If the damage difference is minimal (doubt) and people still would torment themselves to play something they don’t like with a viable alternative I’ll laugh at them

teal hill
#

Like it's not an opinion, they stated that the only reason Reborn exists is to avoid a Star Wars Galaxy situation

visual geyser
#

Because it’s a game at the end of the day

wicked delta
#

I expect reborn to be deleted as well

#

So I wont bother playing it

visual geyser
#

That’s made up

teal hill
#

They fully intend Reborn to be gone if Evolved goes well

tender jolt
wicked delta
#

Unless the job seriously sucks in evolved

dusk sky
#

I don’t know think they’ll ever remove Reborn, but I doubt it’ll be updated in 9.0, hence a wider damage gulf between the two modes over time

wicked delta
#

They’re totally deleting it

visual geyser
rapid whale
#

tobi is actually from the future

dusk sky
#

Not til data limitations forces them, it’s at least there to satisfy old blood

wicked delta
#

Its just so they have more wiggle room with reworking evolved jobs

visual geyser
#

Oh

teal hill
wicked delta
#

If an evolved job sucks

dusk sky
#

PS4 is dying to keep Reborn mode alive /s

wicked delta
#

Players can go to its reborn mode

teal hill
#

My bet is

visual geyser
wicked delta
#

So they have something to play

teal hill
#

10.0 is going to be when Reborn is gone

visual geyser
#

Ye

#

That sounds more likely to me

wicked delta
#

Otherwise they would’ve nuked reborn as soon as the expac releases

visual geyser
#

Killing it the expansion directly after is silly

teal hill
#

MAYBE earlier if Evolved goes abnormally well but

visual geyser
#

^

teal hill
#

10.0 is the conservative guess

visual geyser
#

This is a very conservative dev team

#

They aren’t gonna boot shit that quickly

rapid whale
#

how long until we get FFXIV:ARRR to bring back reborn mode

wicked delta
tender jolt
#

arr classic Emuconcern

wicked delta
#

They rework certain jobs every expansion

#

Dunno if they actually give that much of a shit lol

teal hill
#

I will say one thing hwoever, and that is I think keeping their Evolved sets to 16 buttons is a bit too little for comfort.

dusk sky
#

Ya’know one of my crazy theories lately is they initially started on the color picker for gear but decided coding equipment on that was too much so settled on consolidated dye

teal hill
#

18 would have been better

rapid whale
dusk sky
#

And moved color picker to character creator

wicked delta
#

If evolved is a success I think they’d rather get rid of reborn as soon as possible

tender jolt
rapid whale
wicked delta
#

Ofc I don’t think they’ll delete it mid expansion

teal hill
#

They said the goal is 16 buttons

visual geyser
wicked delta
#

But I really doubt it will survive 9.0

teal hill
#

Dragoon actually has less

wicked delta
#

And if not that

#

It wont make it to 10.0

teal hill
#

Hold on let me verify

visual geyser
#

They rework maybe 1 fucking job every 2 years

#

And the other 19 or so stay the same haha

rapid whale
#

nuh uh they rework monk every expac too /s

teal hill
#

Yeah I just checked

visual geyser
#

Oh yea 2 I guess

teal hill
#

Dragoon is 14 buttons

tender jolt
#

arguments has one e... ruined...

dusk sky
#

I can’t remember if MNK had greased removed and the stance stacks added at the same time or at… DT?

tender jolt
#

greased lightning died with Endwalker

wicked delta
#

I barely touched monk I cant confirm

tender jolt
#

that is something I haven't thought about in years ngl

zealous meteor
visual geyser
#

Shb

tender jolt
#

no that's what I meant

rapid whale
#

i cant help but get the Bad Feeling ™ that first tier of EC is gonna be another LHW because of tuning lighter for 1st tier of expac effect + tuned lighter to let ppl get used to evolved

tender jolt
#

When Endwalker came out

#

It died

rapid whale
#

not even trying to doom, just genuine

visual geyser
#

?

#

It died in shb

dusk sky
#

Oh yeah, removing the timers from their buffs/debuffs (rip demolish) was later, is what I mean

versed kayak
#

was greased something other than a trait before?

tender jolt
#

sigh ok

visual geyser
#

5.4 removed it

tender jolt
#

wait

#

deadass?

visual geyser
#

Got a big ole rework in 5.4

dusk sky
#

Yeah you stacked up a haste buff (to 3) every time you rotated the three stances

visual geyser
#

Yes lol

dusk sky
tender jolt
#

oh yeah monk did have a mid ShB rework didn't it

tender jolt
#

my bad, my bad

rapid whale
#

completely reworking a job as a savage tier drops is wild

vestal hollow
#

emu

versed kayak
#

that sounds fun tbh

vestal hollow
visual geyser
#

It needed it

#

Shb monk was dogshit

tender jolt
#

wind stance also allowed you to go to 4 stacks

#

you'd play fire stance til you hit 3 stacks then swap to wind for the rest of the fight

kind elm
tender jolt
#

earth stance sucked ass

visual geyser
#

Yea that is true I forgot about that

#

Please don’t bring back kink stances in evolved

dusk sky
#

Like Huton as a haste buff was NIN’s mirror to Greased Lightning, and at the time that left DRG the slowest mfer alive

#

I’m old.

tender jolt
#

and tornado kick would eat all your stacks to do its damage (if you did this in uptime you were an idiot)

vestal hollow
tender jolt
#

Monk players thinking TK was a button that existed was one of monk's pitfalls that made you bad at it

visual geyser
#

That’s why I don’t really give af about losing shit from the current combat system

boreal pumice
tender jolt
visual geyser
#

Feels like I’ve been playing SHB era for a billion years

#

No if you missed positionals you didn’t get a raider thrust

tender jolt
#

yeah is that. not still the case

visual geyser
#

No lol

tender jolt
#

huh

visual geyser
#

You get it no matter what

wicked delta
#

Its not a thing

tender jolt
#

I feel a lot of ShB era things I just internalised and never realised they removed

versed kayak
#

missing a positional has no punishment outside of a slight potency loss

wicked delta
#

I troll on drg often and the rotation will work out just fine

visual geyser
#

That was terrible

#

I hated that system lmao

rapid whale
#

Missing positional no longer breaks your combo

dusk sky
#

Mr Prime is the original ROG/NIN designer I hope he cooks in a Venom into Evolved NIN

tender jolt
#

i still habitually do monk positionals

rapid whale
#

Yeah

wicked delta
#

I think its good

dusk sky
#

Remember who you are…. copingway

wicked delta
#

If not breaking your combo

versed kayak
#

well you should still do positionals

wicked delta
#

I think you should lose some higher potency buttons

vast jacinth
#

and erm time to make maultaschen behave and all XD

boreal pumice
wicked delta
#

As punishment for not doing the positional

rapid whale
versed kayak
rapid whale
#

Ik that's not positional but that's the closest we got I think

wicked delta
#

Yeah

#

I think all melees should have something like that

#

All jobs

kind elm
#

AJAB

wicked delta
#

If you dont do the combo correctly then you shouldn’t get to benefit from it

kind elm
#

all jobs are boring

boreal pumice
jade nimbus
#

true

wicked delta
#

Its not like doing positionals thess days are the reason behind you wiping or not

versed kayak
wicked delta
#

They should just add something that lets you fuck that up

#

Lol

#

Can’t reap the benefits if you cant press the buttons

#

👍

rapid whale
#

Fuck it everyone can bunny now

visual geyser
#

There’s no true north I Think

wicked delta
tender jolt
#

Jump was their TN button

#

In evolved

versed kayak
visual geyser
#

Was it charges?

tender jolt
#

Think so. Pass

versed kayak
#

could either mean they removed it, or they just didn't add it to the hotbar, who knows

jade nimbus
#

it was a jump

visual geyser
#

I ain’t mad

jade nimbus
#

with 3 charges

visual geyser
#

True north sucks

tender jolt
#

Didn't they say something about role action system? idk

jade nimbus
#

which ignores the positional needed for right and left eye

visual geyser
#

That’s fine

boreal pumice
tender jolt
#

ffxiv mfs equipped with a whole litany of new words for left and right

visual geyser
#

Pretty neat actually

boreal pumice
#

same for provoke /shirk based on target

visual geyser
#

Having to think about where you place it

kindred bison
dusk sky
#

Yeah like what’s the point of vengeful jump being a utility skill when it builds up stacks for your other “burst combo”

visual geyser
#

Remember when true north was like 30 seconds

#

Monk could have an entire minute of true north at one point

kindred bison
#

It needed it lmao

tender jolt
#

Odd minute pct hammer you can put wherever you like for movement, in theory

#

No reason it can't be somewhat adjacent to that

#

move it back and forth a few GCDs for whatever reason

kindred bison
#

I personally think hammer shouldn’t have a combo timer for it

#

And instead is used as the movement spell for PCT

tender jolt
#

i like it as it is

boreal pumice
#

i use it for movement

tender jolt
#

I think pct in a practical sense works fine atm

kindred bison
#

Just enables uptime during movement mechanics

tender jolt
#

it has movement options they're just dps negative

vast jacinth
wicked delta
#

I think you can use hammer as a movement tool regardless its just a dps loss

#

But if you don’t care for that shit then just send it lol

dusk sky
#

Is it a combo timer or is that just weapon muse’s buff

tender jolt
#

I do think it's a little stupid that pct overcaps white paint by like 3 whole magnitudes if you're playing properly

versed kayak
tender jolt
#

That is the one part Id think it needs something

dusk sky
#

Like PCT is a stack of “fake” combos tied to buffs instead

kindred bison
#

But I also don’t play PCT much so I can’t really comment on it

dusk sky
#

..but so is viper when I put it like that

tender jolt
#

Same as monk

kindred bison
#

I like BLM more

dusk sky
#

Yeah true, and mnk stances

rapid whale
#

Hammers are no longer a loss to use

dusk sky
#

“Combos” is where I should put these quotation marks, dracthyr_noted

boreal pumice
tender jolt
#

I swapped pct for fru because A. it was good but mostly B. smn made me want to end it all

and it just grew on me. never went back

rapid whale
#

Except I didn't play og smn

tender jolt
#

as soon as I got to shiva in fru on smn I realised I just cannot play this job in this fight

#

It just does not fucking work

#

Literally

wicked delta
#

PCT is a fun job

#

Its the only caster I enjoy

#

Okay well

#

I like black mage

#

I do not care for red mage

#

I dislike summoner

tender jolt
#

I don't mind black mage, I don't know why I don't think of red mage more, summoner fills me with anger every time I look at it

visual geyser
#

I like all the casters

boreal pumice
#

blu best caster

dusk sky
#

I remember raiding Asphodelos with someone who kinda struggled with playing SMN

visual geyser
#

They are all fun to me

dusk sky
#

It, um, they uh, hm.

wicked delta
#

I just wanna play melee

tender jolt
#

.

wicked delta
#

But im in healer jail forever

tender jolt
#

Actually

#

I just connected two dots

boreal pumice
tender jolt
#

When I started this tier I was yapping about something or other

visual geyser
#

The only thinking you have to do is like Ifrit lol

tender jolt
#

And our ast said they really enjoyed current smn

#

and I groaned and moved on

wicked delta
rapid whale
#

casters are shockingly balanced rn

visual geyser
#

I don’t hate current smn tho

tender jolt
#

Later we had to kick them because they had 30% GCD uptime

visual geyser
#

I think evoolved smn could cook

rapid whale
#

even smn doing decent dmg

visual geyser
#

Should cook

tender jolt
#

I wonder if these things were related

wicked delta
tender jolt
#

i do not fucking know

visual geyser
#

Idk if they’ll get more summons but they’ll probably make the Demi’s more interesting atleast lol

dusk sky
#

If Evolved AST is finally a fucking AST who actively plays all drawn cards instead of drawing and sitting on half of ‘em til the burst -

wicked delta
#

Even when I troll on gameplay I still get like

#

80% or something

#

And thats at its worst

tender jolt
rapid whale
#

30% is crazy work

shadow pilot
wicked delta
#

30% is literally being AFK

#

😭

tender jolt
#

Yeah we were dying to mechanics and failing dps checks on m10

#

Checked logs

#

Ah

#

That'll explain it

#

We thought that the other healer who was their friend would leave as well when we kicked them, but they stuck around and I think it was partly because they learned what not having to carry the healing on their back felt like

shadow pilot
#

We need to put them in corporate nexus /j

tender jolt
#

(the other healer wasn't that bad. not good, but about as good as you'd expect someone new to savage to be)

rapid whale
#

i sound like a total downer whenever I say it but a lot of people think they are cool with "clear whenever with my friends" until they are hard stuck on an early fight later weeks

wicked delta
#

This is how you end up in healer jail

#

Your co heal sucks

#

Or your healers in general suck

#

You pick up healer

#

Congrats you can never play any other job ever again

shadow pilot
#

Or White Mage /j plebclueless

tender jolt
wicked delta
#

White mages

rapid whale
#

YOU'RE WHITE!!!! YOU'RE! WHITE!!!

tender jolt
#

but thankfully I haven't succumbed to the last step

wicked delta
tender jolt
#

Mostly cause I like not being called slurs by little timmy the ret paladin

dusk sky
#

It’s weird I main healer in 14 but anxiety keeps me on dps in other MMOs

#

Sighs in Prevoker

tender jolt
#

14 helped me learn how to play supports in wow properly

wicked delta
#

Im basically a healer player in every game I play atp

tender jolt
#

But it's such a thankless fucking job in wow it's far from addictive

wicked delta
#

Or support in general

shadow pilot
#

14 helps me in product management

wicked delta
#

Its either tank or healer

#

Wallahi im finished

shadow pilot
wicked delta
#

I wanna be a dps DEADAF

rapid whale
#

just do it coward

wicked delta
#

Theres too many we don’t need more dps players

shadow pilot
#

I know the trade offs
I know the resources
I know how to manage expectations
Truly healer gaming fr fr

wicked delta
#

I think next expac ill use my EU character to raid

#

I’ll be free to do whatever I want there

tender jolt
#

tanking is easy though. it's just boring dps

wicked delta
#

I really hate M11S

daring pine
#

Show me your footwork!

wicked delta
#

RAAAAAGHHHHH!!

dusk sky
#

Tyrant…. CeylonBlush

tender jolt
#

the only tier I've had like that was anabaseios

Coupled with the fact I was raiding at 5am, whenever I get it in roulettes I genuinely feel some sort of ptsd

wicked delta
#

Atp

shadow pilot
#

Tyrant....

wicked delta
#

The fight isn’t even hard

shadow pilot
wicked delta
#

I just hate the fight

#

I got a godlike crit run

tender jolt
#

It's like anabaseios wasn't a thing that happened it is just a mental state

wicked delta
#

We wipe to stampede

#

It made me so angry I stopped playing for the night

#

😭

daring pine
rapid whale
#

bere nais

tender jolt
#

iirc raiding in anabaseios was the first time I really learned what disassociating felt like

#

I was sitting in my chair and just

wicked delta
#

I had more ptsd with P11 than P10

tender jolt
#

i went somewhere else

daring pine
#

they were already on m12 when i was on m11 split so if i progged faster maybe i'd clear on patch buuut

tender jolt
#

idk how to phrase it

daring pine
#

idrc all that much

wicked delta
#

P11S is so simple and yet PF kept wiping to random bullshit

#

My eyes would just glaze over

#

My mind is elsewhere

zealous meteor
tender jolt
#

P11 felt OK to me, in my mind it doesn't feel like the rest of the tier

dusk sky
#

This is the first time I cleared all tiers on patch, I think. Stupid A4S

daring pine
#

tobi do i need to remind you what happened when i PF'd m9

wicked delta
dusk sky
#

But like SB I fell off just before Alphascape and my Eden/Pandae record are pretty bad lmao

shadow pilot
wicked delta
#

Pissing off all Elidibus truthers with 1 sentence

shadow pilot
tender jolt
#

Cleared every tier on patch except anabaseios

daring pine
#

i hate pf @wicked delta

tender jolt
#

Since verse

zealous meteor
wicked delta
#

100 pulls for vamp is insane

daring pine
#

bro

wicked delta
#

I had less than 100 for Tyrant

#

😭

daring pine
#

bj brothers were 69 pulls exactly

tender jolt
dusk sky
#

Abyssos def my best tier for pandae but haha… P8S PF…

daring pine
#

can't make this up

#

tyrant took even less pulls than bj bros

tender jolt
#

p8s was when I was forced to learn how to heal

#

was fun

#

it was also when the prevalent strats were made by a black mage player

#

thanks, scripe

daring pine
#

m12p1 was 110 pulls and p2 is at 160 rn but i'm also on enrage so

#

almost

#

🤞

#

the voices

dusk sky
#

My team got uhhh, I think just one more reclear, then I’m not going with ‘em into ulti

wicked delta
#

Lemme peep my tomestone

daring pine
#

mine is almost done with reclears

rapid whale
#

i do reclears for the love of the game

daring pine
#

m9 and m10 reclears are done

#

m11 is almost done

wicked delta
#

If I wasnt in a static id be skipping reclears entirely

daring pine
#

still need to clear 12 and then do reclears for wep

wicked delta
#

I only need to do 12 for weapon

daring pine
wicked delta
#

Im 790 with aug tome

dusk sky
#

I guess I need to keep going to have pages/coffers lined up for EC jobs… but can wait for tier unlock for that

daring pine
#

tobi

#

i might raid on eu next expac

wicked delta
#

Same

#

I wanna prog outside static time

daring pine
#

well yes i don't like progging at midnight either

rapid whale
#

im glad you two enjoy raiding

daring pine
#

but also i hate being dependent on noclippy

#

to actually play

wicked delta
#

That too

#

I refuse to play AST on NA

daring pine
#

big patch drops and i'm just useless

wicked delta
#

Because it feels like shit on high ping

#

Lol

daring pine
#

i would rather jump than try to do rdm opener without noclippy

#

its like being stabbed repeatedly

wicked delta
#

Umm

#

How do I check pull count on tomestone again

#

Gup

daring pine
#

ok so go to the fight on your profile

dusk sky
#

I hope one day the plogon Yoshi P kills is redirect/true mouseover

daring pine
#

you click this

dusk sky
#

copingway I can’t imagine playing AST without it

rapid whale
#

lets be real noclippy should be built into the game by this point

daring pine
#

yes

wicked delta
#

Huh

#

When I cleared tomestone said like

#

96 pulls

#

Its increased now?

daring pine
#

weird

#

tobi i'm assuming you're gonna play healer on the bnuuy in EC

wicked delta
#

Yea

#

Probably AST

daring pine
#

idk what im gonna play on my bnuuy

#

maybe tank

wicked delta
#

I even got an alt ready

daring pine
#

u can be my pocket healer

zealous meteor
#

the bnuuy(tm)

wicked delta
#

So I’ll be playing AST/PCT

rapid whale
#

mf

#

play pct

#

you said you wanted to dps

daring pine
#

i'll wiggle my ears and you'll heal me

wicked delta
#

I play dps on my alt

rapid whale
#

just use ilvl sync amirite

wicked delta
#

So true

#

The only issue I have is that

#

I’ll need to get crafted gear

#

Somehow

rapid whale
#

wicked delta
#

I could ask my bf to smuggle some stuff

#

Its just annoying

#

For two alts

Thats like

Four characters that would need gear
