I still plan to use WHM on dungeon runs.

... That's about it though.
>>
So out of the 3 casters which one is the least cucked? BLM seems like it'll be forever cucked with its 0 party utilility (outside of being a mana battery lol). Why would anyone even bother to bring a BLM when they could just bring a SA< instead for big dick deeps. SMN seems like it could be decent with its 5% party damage buff and 10% magic damage vulenerability debuff, and RDM also seems like it could be viablew with its 10% physical damage party buff.

I've leveled a WHM first in 1.0 and HW. Best aesthetic and flavor of all the healers. But...

Is it time to give it up and just level a SCH or an AST first in Stormblood?

I haven't played since A4S. Is MCH good yet?
>>
>>378731908
BLM is just as good as its ever been. Most of its support comes from CC skills and it's the best caster to make use of MP share as you noted. It's also the least affected by the global AoE nerf with only F2 taking a big hit. I image most top end prog groups will run BLMs until people figure out RDM.

SMN got hit a lot harder on the other hand. It's combat res niche can be filled by RDM, who can crank out 2 resurrections in quick succession, and can pocket heal since their healing spell scales with INT instead of MND. Their single target damage will be more bursty but it will still pale in comparison to BLM while it's AoE has been gutted.

I'm not too sure on where RDM will stand. With my cursory look over its skills, it seems like a MCH without wildfire. My guess is people will toy with it for physical comps until the class really get figured out. No innate MP regen is probably going to be its Achilles heel.
>>
>>378732803
it's been one of the best for a while now
>>
>>378732803
MCH will be pretty okay, not sure about the details but hey, no more cast times.
>>
>>378732803
MCH was always good, it just took people a long time to get into it. Once hypercharge got buffed the class became top tier and is currently top DPS by about 200.

Cast times for both BRD and MCH have been removed. Gauss barrel is now tied to the Heat mechanic MCHs will have to juggle.
>>
>>378732998
Gauss Barrel is now an oGCD buff that increases damage by 5% and causes each attack to increase your new heat gauge. Keeping your heat gauge between 50% and 100% will cause certain skills to do more damage. There's also new skills to reset or lower your heat.

>>378733327
Wait so overheating is actually a good thing? Aww, I thought it was gonna be an interesting playstyle to keep the gauge between 50 and 100 and being punished for managing it correctly

*incorrectly. Whoops. Guess that would take to much skill from the player, like maintaining dots
>>
>>378734187
I imagine for sustained DPS it's better to keep the gauge between 50 and 100, but for burst or if there's going to be extended downtime mid fight you can push it. Adds nuance, I like it.

+20% damage for 10 seconds at the cost of -5% damage for 10 seconds after seems more than worth it to me. From what I see, the only reason to ever hold off on overheating is so you can line up your cooldowns with it. You'll probably be wanting to overheat at least once every minute.

>>378738101
2 deathflares and 2 ark morns every 2 minutes, so they're only just matching BLM Fouls. They lost a dot, 100% uptime on shadow flare and 50 potency on Ruin3. The silver lining is that their DPS doesn't take nearly as long to ramp up now since they only need 2 GCDs to apply their dots and shadow flare is off GCD now.

Their pet hypercharge will give them an edge but I think BLM's raw numbers will put them in a substantial lead for at least the start of the 4.0 raid tier.

The thing is that AoE phases aren't that frequent and don't last that long. BLM has better sustained AoE for sure, but SMN can pump out more total potency in a 20s window if they have Bahamut up.

Eh, I doubt it. The only thing being over 50 heat does is add +30 potency to Split/Slug/Clean Shot, which will take a while to add up to anything significant. Flamethrower can be used every minute to quickly bring yourself up to 50 heat, and Barrel Stabilizer can be used every 2 minutes to -instantly- bring you to 50.

Precisely. BLM single target has always been where they beat SMN. Now that SMN doesn't have its edge in burning down adds, BLM is the undisputed caster king unless RDM can also compete. I'm sceptical that SMN's hypercharge will close the gap, especially if they have to use Ifrit to buff physical classes because that's a whole new set of problems. I'm also not too enthusiastic about Demimut because it's very susceptible to awkward phase changes.

I'm still sticking with SMN though. I like the BLM changes but I got what I wanted out of SMN with demimut.

- Several of their innate abilities were pilfered for cross-role skills. You'll need to use your cross-role slots to get them back, and you won't be able to take everything you used to have (You can pick 5 out of Cleric Stance, Protect, Esuna, Divine Seal, Shroud of Saints, Swiftcast, and Eye for an Eye)
- Their new gauge mechanic is 100% RNG based with a low proc chance when using Cure I or Cure II, abilities which good WHMs don't use very often.
- Increasing the Lily gauge doesn't buff you, it just reduces the cooldown of your next Assize/Asylum/Tetragrammaton by a pitiful 4/10/20% depending on number of Lillies.
- The new abilities are pitiful. Stoneskin is gone and replaced by "Divine Benison", which is a 15% health shield, but consumes all your lillies upon use.
- Plenary Indulgence is just another AoE skill, whose healing is also reliant on low-chance RNG procs when you use Cure/Cure II on party members.
- Thin Air is the only good new skill they got. Makes all spells cost 0 MP for 12 seconds. 120s cooldown. Will mainly just be used for nuking with Holy in combination with Presence of Mind.

They took away some WHM's skills and put them into role skill pool, but didn't really compensate for the loss.
Their new class mechanic is basically not worth it compared to what AST and SCH got (it just makes them overheal more) and is not particularly enjoyable to execute in real gameplay situations (it's tied to single target heals only whereas WHM excels at regenbombing). It also doesn't contribute anything to party damage while AST and SCH both do while still being sufficiently powerful healers.

I don't really feel that SMN's single target has been damaged that badly. They strive to make the values pretty balanced across classes. Remember in addition to party DPS from Devotion/Aetherpact, Garuda also buffs the SMN's damage by 5%.

I also heard that Aethertrail stacks now no longer have a duration, which would let you hold Bahamut in reserve during awkward phases.

I'm not too worried about single target either, but SMN was already behind BLM in that department and the game is only going to get wider. Loosing their edge in AoE only hurts more in that regard. I actually thing SMN is going to be a lot smoother to play in 4.0 thanks to having less timers to keep up and Ruin2 being your go to filler again.

Basic spell spamming is going to be Jolt -> Veraero/thunder. If the passive procs, you replace jolt with Verstone/Fire. You want to get both of your gauges to...+80, I think? with one higher than the other.

Close the gap with corps a corps, use your 1-2-3 melee combo, and finish with Verflare or Verholy. The unbalance in the gauges is important because it gives a 100% proc rate on the Verstone/Fire casting buff.

All my friends are telling me to Astro or Scholar.

I mean until Sb is live its not set in stone. I will level White Mage to 70 only because of my retainers but I fear for how much worse DF timers become with less healers.

Go DPS make DF queues worse. They will have to act eventually with less Healers. NO? If you switch to a dps there is 1 less healer and 1 more Dps in DF.

The problem isn't just that getting lilies is difficult, but that lilies are FUCKING USELESS. It's 20% cooldown reduction on ONE of a set of very few specific ogcds. ONE ability, once every fifteen Cure/Cure IIs.

You could give all those abilities a 20% cooldown reduction by default and it would still be fucking nothing.
>>
>>378740337

The cleric stance bit won't matter in a few weeks because all healer DPS will scale off MND. But to answer your question, spell strength is based on when you cast it, so regens are stronger when out of clerics and dots when in.

Burn the Spire, or in SB, recycle it in the Lady/Lord

Give the speed card to a DPS, it's that simple. I think melee DPS are a priority over casters, with BLM actually throwing their rotation off I think

hots snapshot the second you apply them

3) hot will tick based on the moment you applied it, keeping heal increase or decrease, so in this case won't count cleric because it's been already applied on target

trash every card besides balance, aim for spear/arrow for royal road since, while aoe is amazing for endgame content, df players you get are so shit it's more likely a mediocre player will capitalize more on it than the rest of the shitter
>>
>>378740429
Cleric fucks all healing but that won't be an issue in 2 weeks.
Use it for royal road or click it off
Use it on a BLM or to extend another card. If neither is an option, use it on yourself. Never use it on DRG since it fucks their rotation or SMN since it only affects about 25% of their DPS.

>>378740585
>with BLM actually throwing their rotation off I think
Only their AoE rotation. BLMs will suck dick for Arrow in single target situations.

Okay so I get that yoshi-p wants WHM to just be a pure healer and to not be pressured into DPS, but just taking away DPS utility and forcing us to spam Cures all day doesn't change the fact that parties still want their healers to contribute damage, and both SCH and AST can still do that effectively. He successfully turned WHM into what he and I guess Japanese players wanted, but in doing so made it almost completely worthless compared to its competition. Maybe it's just a thing that Japanese players play the classes they like and don't really think about the numbers game, but this doesn't jive with western style of play at all.
>>
>>378740661
That's what I mean, buff the fuck out of their DPS potency, they should be pulling damage equal to a Black Mage/Summoner if they're free to DPS, and then cause said DPS to shit confessions on you and your party, maybe reduce the cooldown of Plenary to 5s.

Make it a DPS healer, like what I hear disc priests apparently are in WoW. The act of DPSing is what enables you to heal.

>>
>>378740720
that would fix literally nothing. If WHM ever wants to be relevant they either need to be able to solo heal during progression which would make them mandatory in every raid or they just need some offensive raid support.

White Mage is fucked beyond repair because they can't just be fixed with a numbers tweak the only solution is to give them an entirely new ability.

It was like that in FFXI too. It didn't have the "best" raises that made you less weak or stuff. But it was always the speedmage. It could activate the FFXI version of chainspell and raise like 12 people in 12 seconds. It was nutbar.

This. Japanese players don't give a shit about healers contributing DPS, so having a pure healer is just a matter of player preference and doesn't matter to party composition even if it is inferior to its counterparts in every way. Yoshi-P literally does not care that the rest of the world sees WHM as a wasted healer slot and will never do anything to make it a more desirable class to have in groups for that reason.

Dungeons as they are currently are garbage non-content, if they're doing this to divert resources to something that is actually fun then that's great.

It's not about what you need to clear, it's about what each class brings to the table.

Why the fuck would you bring WHM for literally ANYTHING in this game now that AST has made it superior in literally, I mean quite factually LITERALLY every way? It's like they're offering us a choice between a luxury yacht and a leaky rowboat and pretending that they're supposed to be equal.

dungeons at best are a cool set piece that drives the story forward. if dungeons were actually interesting enough that i would want to run them 500 times i'd ask for more, but the fact that they all have the trash-boss-trash-boss-trash-boss format is retarded. more & different side content and open world content please and thanks

>>
>>378742660
But even with two dungeons, that's what they've already been doing. The entire reason they went from 3 dungeons per patch to 2 was to give room for extra content. Now they are saying that even 2 is too much for that and they need to go down to 1.
>>
>>378742407
Yeah, I can't wait for more good content like Diadem or Lord of Verminion that removed 5 dungeons from the roulette when they were managing to add PvP, housing, 3 times more EX primals fight than during HW while also releasing 3 dungeons in a single patch during ARR.

>>378742575
Japanese players respect the content, tanks always stay in tank stance and only do enmity combos, healers don't dps, dps don't need to learn their rotations and they all queue randomly into boss fights with no idea what to do just after unlocking them and always clear because they respect the content.

>>378742730
If we get more content that isn't just dungeons then that's fine.
>>
>>378742679
Because ast has basically a whm sect and they know if they argue against sch they'll be laughed at.
>>
>>378742679
Because AST's core design is WHM. Two cures, one of which is stronger, the weaker cure has a proc that ties into the stronger one, an MP refresh/enmity reduction skill. It's basically WHM with cards and a SCH Lite stance.

He obviously sees this as a problem and is trying to "correct" it by making WHM as pure a healer as possible.

>>378742840
None of the content they've added has been better than dungeons though. LoV is garbage, Diadem is just a FATE-grinding instance and was dead for over a year (taking up a second patch's worth of "extra content" to revamp it). PotD is only popular because it's good for grinding classes, its actual fun factor is low.

On one hand dungeons in offpatches are fairly useless because by that point you should already be BiS

On the other hand fucking hell, at least give us Mythic+ like system and keep ALL the levelcapped dungeons relevant for the whole expansion.

>>378742136
Depends on what the additional content is. Honestly, the two dungeons often felt like their heart wasn't in it, especially towards the end of 3.x. Sohm Al HM is almost completely devoid of any mechanics on top of being a boring cave dungeon.

If this means we'll be grinding one dungeon for tomestones though count me the fuck out.

PotD is a good idea but it needs more to it to make it actually fun. Mobs that aren't just pissweak trash that die in 5 seconds and actually need to be reacted to. Different objectives on each floor. Fewer floors between each boss but larger/more sprawling. Randomized shop rooms where you can trade pomanders. Secret rooms that don't show up on the map. Minibosses.

>>378743917
It's one thing making several classes that have different tools and capabilities and are suitable for different situations, and then one job becoming the meta because it's particular set of tools is seen as generally more useful than that of other classes. It's another thing entirely to make one class with a specific set of abilities, then make another class that has all of the same abilities but straight up better, in addition to having powerful unique abilities which the first class lacks entirely.

This isn't AST being more powerful because the meta favors it, this is AST being more powerful because it has +5 to healing, damage and utility while WHM has +5 to healing and +1 to damage and utility. This would be fine if AST was supposed to be a literal upgrade to WHM just like how WHM is an upgrade to CNJ, but it isn't, and the game is trying to play them both off as equal when they clearly aren't.
>>
>>378739643
In all fairness, AST now has vastly better shields than SCH, and better damage becaue SCH got fucked along with SMN. So really, SCH only brings the crit buff to parties. AST outclasses the other two by a HUGE margin.

You are absolutely retarded, you know? You realize 1 potency on WHM is ENTIRELY different from 1 potency on AST/SCH, right? Every job has its own modifier, there is literally no way to compare anything with the information we have right now. But of course people are too retarded to think about that and would rather just jump to conclusions on terribly translated tooltips that aren't even finalized yet. You are all fucking idiots.

SCH are no better. Complaining about damn aoe damage of all things when they should be more worried about their single target damage. I swear most SCH and SMN mains must be dungeon spamming faggots.
>>
>>378744678
Even before they found out about their other changes, they've already been complaining how their other egis aren't like bahamut and how they're not real summoners because of it. Some even complained about being too focused around bahamut. You could give them everything they asked for and they'd still complain.

We should've just gotten void mages instead. SMN were a mistake.

Even if JP tooltips are finished, the English ones are full of mistranslations and typos, what you are doing is as retarded as comparing PLD and DRK potencies when 1p on PLD is worth about an effective 1.2p on DRK since its modifier is much higher.
Just being a pure healer with little utility isn't necessarily a bad thing during progression and it opens up a lot more freedom for your cohealer. There's two sides to everything. WHM doesn't exactly look amazing right now, but they do look like a pure carry healer which has its place still

But you're right, the actual healing amounts aren't the same. Because AST gets bonus healing just for being in a sect, so their potency is actually worth more.

It's the exact same shit excuse that gave us Diadem, Verminion and PotD. The only reason PotD was even remotely successful unlike the other two abysmal failures is that it's the easiest and quickest way to level DPS jobs, because it certainly wasn't entertaining or fun.

>>378745089

x2 Ahk Morn every 2 minutes (1360 total potency).
Fester's tooltip is wrong. It seems the potency is 400. Twice that of painflare.
Can freely Tri outside DWT because DWT refreshes it
No longer have to burn swiftcasts on Shadow Flare since it's now instant.

We benefit a lot from the role skills too:

We get one of Black Mage's most useful abilities: Apocatastasis
We get another method of MP recover with Lucid Dream. It will be practically impossible to run out of MP now. Ruin 3 spam for days.
We get a much better way to self-heal with Drain. No longer as squishy.
If we're feeling generous, we can give up 20% of our MP to somebody else with Mana Swift.

Damn. I guess it will have to deal with having better base heals, shields, and regens than both other healers, having more DPS utility, being able to speed and power up their heals better, and also having a bubble that does what the other two healers' bubbles do combined.

Poor AST.

I wish that Square Enix would acknowledge the fact that top-end raiders understand their game and its balance better than they do and actually pay attention to them. All their design oversights are glaringly obvious and to avoid them literally all they'd have to do is actually watch how the top percentage of players play during progression raiding. Every other game worth its salt uses the performance and play styles of their top players for balance feedback, not even just video games but cardgames / table top too.

If you let top-end raiders design the game, all they would do is delete the jobs that aren't in the meta, then give themselves 500 potency buffs on all their actions. Raiders care about clears and loot, not balance or fun.

And yet most of those game still manage to be a unbalance mess. So it wouldn't be worth it.

what about it?

They aren't getting any "generic cooldowns". In fact they're losing generic shit like Raging Strikes, which you will probably complain about losing now that I've brought it up. Do you just make this shit up in your head or what?

>"generic" cooldowns

Who told you to get out of the cuckshed?
Go back now and I'll maybe throw you a Ewer.

Let them design it? Fuck no. Watch how they play and ask them why? Yes. The development team seems to have no idea what makes jobs and their toolkits good or bad. The people doing top end progression understand how the game actually plays far better than the developers.They can tell you exactly why certain classes don't get taken in their comps.

Oversight is inevitable, but having a fundamental understanding of how your game is actually played is a very useful tool for balancing it.

Worse, friend. I am a WHM whose secondary was SMN, and whose third was WAR. I have nothing now.

>expected cool shit like ReRaise or Curaja
>got half my shit taken out and replaced with nothing, lost Stoneskin for a shield on a 90 sec cooldown, and a shit system that rewards poor healing with... More poor healing!!!

Move on

Doesn't mean anything or have you not played WoW in your life. Blizzard did what they want when it comes to buffs and nerfs.
