BRD because of perma crit, probably.
DRG because Pierce Down.
RDM and SMN both look good in prog, RDM is definitely better for speedkills though.

I knew it. They're turning Red Mage and Summoner into the same fucking job

so it seems we got

Samurai and Ninja = same job
Monk and Dragoon = same job
Machinist and Bard = same job
Red Mage and Summoner = same job

AND NOW...

Dark Knight, Warrior, and Paladin = same job

sure is same-y in here

Nope, MMO genre destroyed by this expansion. It's done. Throw it in the garbage. This game is finished.

Yoshi P is a literal hack

Angry about Bane nerf, that was uncalled for.
Dissipation is still in the game and still mostly useless.
Eos still has WD/Covenant/Illumination, could see that in the background in a video.
Selene seems unchanged and by extension useless.
Excogitation seems pretty meme in that it will only be 50 potency stronger than Lustrate.

Jesus what were they thinking that's so snowbally and random.

And to boot they absolutely gut SMN AOE via bane nerfs.

Then they and in random burn phases so you have to CD stack.
>Gaurda burn phase ability because god forbid we use another pet at any point ever now that contagion is gone

Bard it is! I really like how they make it FEEL like a bard with the new changes. Too bad right now my bard is still only level 4

Tanks are no where near the same.

Mitigation - PLD
Berserkerish higher damage - DRK
Worthless middle ground special needs kid - WAR

WAR is doing way more damage than DRK in 4.0.

>>378646146
that is true but now you can afford to do so anyway

Ninja having Mutilate removed and Dancing Edge put into Shadow Fang simplifies the class to an absurd degree.

Our rotation is now just 1-2 (Sf) 1-2-3 over and over until Hutton gets low and we press 3b instead.

Ley lines is ok I guess. I just feel like it's going to be like DRG now with a super fixed boring rotation
>>
>>378647248
I feel like this new shit will actually mix DRG up a bit. I'm just worried about the mirage dives being dependent on jumps, unless they make them a little shorter in CD
>>
Anyone got a tl:dr of all the changes. Or know where this shit is listed at?

Tired of faggots promoting their fucking vids.
>>
>>378646851
WAR and DRK seems to be doing rougly the same damage with DRK having more sustained and WAR more burst... still.
>>
>>378646012
MCH only has use in farming FATEs with flamethrower.
>>
>>378647887
MCH is actually looking like it'll be pretty damn strong. It's like MCH has become the proper range dps while BRD has taken a step towards being more party orientated.
>>
So I guess Ninjas should always start with Huton + Hide for every fight now that Hide instantly refreshes the Ninjutsu bar?

Its back in force. They're primed for being the meta MT (at least until on farm) and a viable OT close to the others due to having two burst windows that cycle, plus on demand cooldown for their MT friend, and the ability to share Rampart through Cover.

Even after pruning an simplification the game still retains a much higher complexity than WoW even at it's peak/bloat. The jobs we see on live servers now are going to have the same number of abilities they're using in Stormblood, they're just newer abilities, which means new strategies, concepts and meta will evolve.

Don't forget to finish your world quests on your mobile app, though.

im not saying it's bad, you have a right to play the class as much as anyone else, im just putting it out there
>>
I'm not seeing what the huge deal with MNK is and why people are complaining.

The only thing I'm worried about is potentially losing chakras because forbidden has to be cast at 5, and with the ogcd delay you may get another before it goes off.

All and all, I'm happy. Building chakras passively is one of the two things I wanted, the other being a free way to cast tornado kick (it's cd is now 10s, so maybe there is something we missed?)

Passively building chakra stacks means you no longer need to worry about TP issues (purification) and the SS reduction ability might make us stack skill speed instead because we won't have worries of running out of TP except aoe.

I might even see SS being king on MNK now instead of crit because we get so much free crit with internal release and bootshine that fitting in more GCDs during that time might be more beneficial.

Everything else is extra, elemental charges seem neat. I just hope they make forbidden chakra less clunky to cast with how often we'll be using it now.

Does anyone else feel like they ruined bard? Yes, cast times are gone. I'm glad they are and it's a step in the right direction. But now every song is the fucking same 2% crit? It's a good buff, sure, but now our support is incidental. We're playing the songs for the other shit they give us, not for what it does to our party members. We would use them even if it didn't give 2% crit. Before it felt like an active decision to switch songs. The effects could have been stronger, but at least they were fucking different from one another.

These aren't arguments, nothing has changed from the base gameplay of MNK because it works. Our only real issues were TP and lack of utility, both of which have been resolved. 5% boost is 5%, and the MNK is going to be hitting Chakra a lot during that time with the help of his allies. It's a raid CD where a large portion of the damage comes from other players but is funneled through the MNK, it still benefits everyone.

So you got the same treatment as every job then. Every job is losing DoTs, damage buffs, and AoE potency.

Ruin 2 does not have a cast time, it is still instant, and its potency is increased to 100
Bane got nerfed to account for the ridiculous AoE damage that you'll be shitting out in DWT with Bahamut.
Fester is most likely an error or unfinished because it has the same potency as Painflare despite not being AoE, or its tooltip and damage are updated with the introduction of Bio3 and Miasma3.
Contagion is pointless now that Tri-Disaster refreshes itself when entering DWT. Not to mention that Tri-Disaster also boosts the damage of Ruin spells.
Everyone is losing Raging Strikes.
Bio 2 isn't removed, it upgrades to Bio 3.

You are a moron if you think you were going to get Bahamut shitting out nukes everywhere while still maintaining all of your current damage.

DRK's changes are so fucking disappointing. It's like they wanted to bring back 2.X PLD so casual Kirito babies can have a very simple, one-combo-only job to play, but instead of creating a new job they decided that DRK should be the one in this role.

A lot of the tooltips clearly have errors or are unfinished. Why would Fester be 200 potency when Painflare is also 200 potency? I'll bet anything it's still meant to be 300.

Tri-Disaster also buffs the damage of Ruin spells which is probably what the 220 Ruin IV is about. It may buff the damage of others and their tooltip just hasn't been updated yet.

Probably but WHM will still be outclassed by AST that has better utility and damage while SCH can still do decent single target damage and now has a debuff that boosts Crit chance.

He means why would they leave a single target skill at 200 when they have an AoE skill that does the same amount of damage, it makes no sense
>>
>>378651730
It's not calculating it on "100 per DoT" anymore. The tooltip says 150 for one DoT and 200 for both, but that's silly when Painflare does 200, is an AoE, and doesn't even require DoTs. Most likely this is an error and having both Miasma and Bio makes Fester 300 potency.

WHAT THE FUCK?!
>>
>>378652345
Verfire/Stone are technically not the next step in the rotation, they're more specialised, higher potency Jolts. One gives more Black Mana, the other one gives more White Mana.
>>
The MNK changes aren't as bad as people are making them out to be. Riddle of Fire increasing the GCD will feel like shit, but under GL3 it'll only increase to about 2.6 so you're not going to be dropping your buffs or Demolish. They are losing Touch of Death but almost every job is losing a DoT.

Also, while most jobs are losing most of their oGCD damage skills, MNK gets to keep pretty much all of theirs. But even with all that, it still seems strange that their base rotation is losing so much potency while other jobs get increases. Either they haven't run the numbers yet, the tooltips aren't final, or free chakras account for WAY more damage than people think.

>more ogcd shit
DRK lost Reprisal and Low Blow as damage cooldowns, and the parry gimmicks they had (like the cooldown refresh of Low Blow), and Delirium have a huge cooldown and apparently is better used with Blood Weapon. You have less oGCDs to pay attention to, and there is no reason to spam the new cross-role skills.
The new Blood skills are GCDs. Blood generation apparenlty is pretty slow, except for Not-Cover (gives a +50 Blood and have the same MP cost of Dark Arts, plus creates a HP-based barrier). As far as I can tell, Blackest Night is a direct upgrade of Dark Arts.
Shit is simplified as all fuck.

You said you don't play DPS so I'm not going to get mad at you.

Their rotation doesn't really require any thought. Yes, they have 2 buffs to upkeep, but both of them are forced due to getting the same sen is DPS loss, so they rotated between each of them on once. All buffs/debuff last 30 sec, their rotation took at most 18 seconds to cycle through.
For AoE GCD rotation, again you're forced between each to build different Sen to finish off with Tenka (AoE Iai)
Optimaztion will come from Kenki skill, yes, but definitely not from their rotation.

How balancing should be going into new expansion, find baseline for "good" then buff up other classes to reach the good mark and everyone is happy. As moving into new expansion content should be harder and best classes don't lose anything and bad classes finally become good.

Riddle of Wind be useful for fights where the target teleports of changes positions often so you don't have to chase them down. Or to get back to them quickly if you have to back out for mechanics or to avoid attacks. Could also be useful for adds spawns across the room.

They seem to have learned from HW to make big areas but with details that matter.

Not to mention SB isn't rushed. You can tell they had to cut corners in dravanian forelands. That one is very rough, especially with those shitty rock walls around the map and a separated place that connects to nothing in the quests or exploration.

They said HW areas were empty so they could add to them later

Okay Summoners, now that Contagion is gone, will you still be maining the green bird or switching to Ifrit?

Garuda still has the new 5% damage boost for 15 seconds, which seems really good. Also now that sustain is ded, is it worth throwing Ifrit out into the field considering that your Egi needs to be alive in order to summon Bahamut.

Yes, it's a typo. It should say it gets replaced by Bio II, and then Corruption Mastery II replaces Bio II with Bio III.

Your class plays very differently at 50 and 60, the latter having some new mechanic that is unique to them. Yoshi has said he wants to lower the gap between a good player and a mediocre one in 4.0 mainly by way of making whatever unique mechanic the class has be a bit simpler to maintain.

Take BLM for example, their big thing was Enyochian, a buff that increased their damage and allowed them to cast their most powerful spells. It requires you to keep an existing buff maintained and to then extend it's use with your Enyo only nuke spell that would make Enyo last longer but on a diminishing return. The existing buff that Enyo needs as well was not refreshed by using this more powerful nuke.

Your 50 rotation was basically Spam fire spells until out of mana then cast ice spells until you have mana again then rinse and repeat. The buff you maintain is baked into your rotation and requires no management

Your 60 rotation was set up Enyo, use enyo spells and occasionally dip back into using your 50 rotation to it's buff going and occasionally swapping to ice spells prematurely to refresh Enyo itself on diminishing returns meaning your swaps would get faster and faster until either Enyo fades and your DPS goes to shit or you can reset it to the non-diminished rotation. It worked ok so long as you didn't have to move. At all.

In 4.0 your rotation is the above without needing to prematurely dip into ice in an ever accelerating cycle and movement is less punishing.
>>
>>378653579

Makes sense. But I always figured large pulls for AoE damage were a result of the enemies not being dangerous enough, not AoE being overpowered. People wouldn't do it if the tanks died.
>>
White mage is literally completely dead.
>>
>>378654016
No wait I got it. WHM is meant to solo heal 8 man content. That's it. You take 5 DPS and the WHM spams heals.
>>
>>378654230
Ok, either way - turning down free damage, ever?

Ranged will always be more flexible because it doesn't need to chase down adds to stay in melee range - what possible reason would you not pick Garuda when she has the advantage of being ranged and granting extra damage?
>>
>>378654143
I sure hope so
I'll miss that 10% of damage otherwise
>>
>>378654371
That's really the only way a "pure healer" can be viable in this game. If it's just SO good at healing that you can forgo taking a co-healer and just bring a 5th DPS.
>>
>>378654229
WAR wants to build up to 100 Beast before Berserk, so you can use the gap closer to spend some if you're going to hit the cap while not putting the uppercut on cooldown.

4.0x Ala Mhigo endgame zone but Doma has 8man raid
4.1x Doma has story content, Ala Mhigo gets its 24man raid
4.2x Doma still story quests, Doma gets 8man raid content update
4.3x Ala Mhigo story quests and 24man raid content. Fuck Doma!
4.4x DOMA COMES BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. STORY QUESTS AND 8MAN RAID
4.5x Ala Mhigo gets its 24man raid content and says FUCK YOU to Doma, then Garland comes over and says "Bitches, please. The King Awaits"

Noct AST is already a better solo healer than WHM and Noct AST is only getting stronger.

So no.
>>
>>378654354
Depends on how hard content is. AST is top tier in both dungeons and progession, but sch probably sucks dick in terms of progression and is only good at dung healing.

>Something draws us to Othard
>We help out a bit in Othard

>Go back to Othard and plan a two-front assault
>Climax is breaching Ala Mhigo and liberating it meanwhile the Domans retake their city at the same time

When I wake up I'll realize that this was all a bad dream. SMN will continue having 3 DOTs with different durations, Shadowflare will have a cast time, Bane won't be nerfed and we'll have Blizzard II to spam.

Now you can.

Why the salt? Because a scholar can give someone else their fairy, have a lazy "oh &*#!" heal, and up critical rate on a target (Which effects you, if you're there. Free, hasted, 5% boosted Stone 4 spam? Don't forget you're still not DPS but that won't be laughable). Or because they gave a card nuke and a triggered damage/heal to AST?

White Mages are amazing now. Bole and Chain Strategem are not going to remove WHM usefulness. Bole isn't a 100% draw, even if you can hold it. All they did was make SCH even more lazy. They made WHM better in general, especially with the removal of stance dancing. I'd pick WHM over the other two in a heartbeat now. It actually feels like a lot more than a "pure healer" now, as everyone likes to throw around.

The new MSQ stuff starts at 60 but the new classes start at 50 right?

So how does everyone think their stories will progress as a class?

It wasn't very complex before.

>>378654960
Yes. They have changed very, very little.

Fairy tether is going to be shit/useless, you can take that to the bank - it will just be spunked into overhealing - the games healing is way too bursty for slow HoT's to work. Same for the new heal thing really, again, it's investing a stack in what is essentially a 0% interest payback - you can just lustrate when the person takes damage and have the stack to play with

So not much negative + some positive and mostly neutral keeps SCH where it is now - and SCH is in a great place now.

the only real suffering is Bane nerf
