As a good example, see WoW and having certain classes being top tier on both PvE and PvP for a decade like mages, while other classes have been consistently shit tier outside one or two exceptions, like shamans or non-disc priests (and disc was only because blizzard couldn't balance shields for shit, now that they redesigned it priests are literally in the cuckshed, their class campaign is them getting literally cucked by paladins)

WHM is the only job that has any legitimate reason to be upset. SMNs are just massive babies that are crying because their AoE got nerfed (just like everyone else), because they lost a DoT (just like everyone else), and because their new giant fuck-off damage abilities are balanced by minor reductions in other areas of their toolkit instead of just being added directly on top and catapulting them into 1st place DPS forever.

Oh yet, not to mention crying about how they actually summon shit now instead of spreading VD while a glowing green chicken follows them around.

>Divine Benison - Consumes all Lillies to apply a shield to all allies within a 30y of the WHM (including the WHM) which absorbs damage equal to 5% of each target's health for 1 Lily, 12% for 2 Lillies, and 20% for 3 Lillies. 120s cooldown.
>Plenary Indulgence - Consumes all Lillies to apply a buff to all allies within 30y of the WHM (including the WHM) which reduces their GCD cast times, recast times, and auto-attack delay by 5% per Lily. Lasts 20s. 120s cooldown.
>Reraise - Can only be used with 3 Lillies. Consumes all Lillies to buff a single party member with "Reraise", which will automatically raise them if they die within the next 30s. 120s cooldown.

Some disgruntled WHMs will either go AST or RDM. However, due to the ease of the job many casuals will stick with it.

MCHs are over represented in raids but have the lowest number of parses and is the least popular job among the casual population. BRDs vastly MCHs as the go to physical ranged damage dealer. It would also be silly to think that MCH will receive a surge in numbers with the release of TWO new dps classes. Both of which are more iconic than MCH. BRD is also getting an exciting new rework whereas the MCH heat rework is garnering a lukewarm reception.

It's only 650 potency in Grit, which is the same as its 520 potency out of Grit. You're also not going to have enough MP to buff it every single time you use it. And even with Blackest Night it's not nearly as spammable as Fell Cleave. Not saying it won't be strong though.

Mudras can only be executed in between GCD abilities. If you use a mudra sign, then a different ability without invoking the ninjutsu, it immediately turns into a rabbit and wastes the ninjutsu CD. 99.999% of the time, if you're not hitting a GCD ability the moment it comes up, you're losing DPS.

It's not possible to invoke certain mudras while staying GCD locked because the time it takes to input the mudra combination then use the ninjutsu skill is greater than the global cooldown, so invoking the ninjutsu clips into your GCD.

This is why your latency to the FFXIV servers is so important. Some players can invoke two-step mudras in between GCDs while others can only invoke 1step mudras or else they clip into the GCD, which again, results in a DPS loss.

None of the shit you said is true either.
They haven't lost any AoE damage except in Unleash, which is not used for damage anyway except before unlocking Abyssal Drain.
Bloodspiller makes up for Scourge and then some, since when buffed it does more damage than Scourge and can be used more often than once every 30 seconds.
WAR still has Inner Beast, which has actually been buffed. Also, EVERY job's oGCD attacks have been curbed. And DRK also still has Plunge, in addition to Salted Earth, Dark Passenger and C&S.

All they did was add an extra button to press to achieve the same damage over time. Reduced Doom Spike to 130 Potency, and now there's Sonic Thrust, which is 170 Potency that combos off of it. So on average, it's literally nothing, and just amounts to reducing Dragoon's AOE damage output prior to unlocking Sonic Thrust and just getting back on par with how they used to be.

It is mysterious. On the bright side, Ring of Thorns is gone now and all Dragoons will be forced to get good and AOE properly.

Who am I kidding, that's not going to happen.

*shrug* oh well, if I do, I do. (you're not wrong)
>>378749590
more so that a nerf happened, but I already stated the other factors I feel make its over all AoE DPS lower. (but if I need more, my WAR OT easily rips hate with decimate and overpower for AoE, leaving me with little MP from bloodprice if I use abyssal drain too much, so I need a few unleashes to make sure I keep threat, also our WAR used to use their CDs for fell cleave, so it was another reason I kept mobs on me for AoE situations.

as for quietus, i doubt it will be ready to use before some of the mobs have died already. most trash pulls is 1 unleash, and 2-3 abyssal drains, and even then my groups easily get some mobs killed from crits, or weaved in single targets.

At best, it will be usable every other pull, unless your other DPS suck.
>>
>>378749890
AST, even though you'll be a Balance bot if they don't nerf it
>>
>>378749890
I've always healed as SCH. I like their aesthetics more than AST and definitely WHM. Plus having a pet heal for you in low dungeons is siqq.
>>
>>378750048
Blood Price gives 5 blood every time you get hit. That will easily let you build enough to use Quietus at least once.
>>
>>378750114
unless I get a SCH healer, the fight will be half over by the time I can pop it to avoid stunned mobs.
But if the pull is big enough, I would agree.

Really depends on salted earth + blood price (and again, have to remain in tank stance)
>>
Why the fuck are you guys sperging out so much over class changes when you're not as good as Japanese players that play on PS4 using controllers and have cleared every single raid content the minute it came out.

>>
>>378750217

>>
>>378749860

I won't argue that. Sonic Thrust is a cheaper TP cost over Doom Spike, besides, but that too ties into simple equalization of Damage VS TP investment due to the potency change on Doom Spike.

What I'm really curious about is Life of the Dragon's time-out explanation. The tooltip claims it "reverts to Blood of the Dragon" after timing out, so what duration does BoTD return at? Minimum, or whatever it was when Life of the Dragon activated?

I didn't really garner a lot of meaning from it.

I mean, in any case, by the time you actually activate Life of the Dragon, BoTD is almost certain to be off CD, regardless, and maintaining BoTD is easier than ever thanks to Lance Mastery allowing double gains on the timer per rotation.

>>
>>378750114
I'm wondering about something.
Blood weapon gives you 3 blood everytime you deal damage with a physical attack.
Quietus being (I guess) DRK's only physical AoE, I wonder if it will give you 3 blood for each enemy hit.

>ruin 1 actually just turns skill into ruin 4

Why wasn't this a thing with WAR in HW where it changes between inner beast/fell cleave depending on stance?
>>
>>378750337
I suspect it'll just be 3 blood for the whole weaponskill. But even if it was per mob, you'd have to hit 17 mobs to be able to spam it endlessly. Otherwise you'd have to fill in with your single target rotation to get the necessary blood to use it again, and that will be a DPS loss compared to just spamming Abyssal Drain. Overall you're probably better off just using it in conjunction with Blood Price. Makes me wonder if DRK's AoE DPS will actually be higher in grit than outside.

It reverts to 15 seconds.

The real fucking problem is that activating BotD seems to give you 2 stacks of dragon eye, allowing you to get into red botd after 2 jumps, but reverting back leaves you at 0.
>>
so what does Sam rotation look like?
>>
>>378749890
both but finish one now I'd suggest AST since the gimmick is VERY similar in stormblood I prefer SCH but thats at the moment ideally though you want all 3 healers and change for the content

SCH for trials and low level dungeons
WHM for higher lvl dungeons and 24 mans
And AST for extreme and savage content and basically all other content too

Am I understanding that SMN does not have an aethertrail attunement duration and is always up until you spend 3 aetherflow stacks then you can enter dreadwyrm trance, and during that trance you can't even use aetherflow?

If right this seems better as trying to time your aethertrail attunement not to fall off was a pain at time, similar to that of Greased Lightning.

>>378750857
Also it's more damage/Kenki efficient to use Yaten > Enhanced Enbi > Gyoten than to use Shinten once.

100 on the backstep (-10 keni) + 300 on the ranged attacl (+10 kenki) + 100 on the charge (-10 kenki) = 500 potency for 10 kenki spent. Compared to Shinten's 300 potency for 25 Kenki. I guess it's just a matter of if the extra damage and kenki saved is worth being away from the target for 1 GCD.

I've only ever been a MNK, going to probably lvl SAM after going through the MQ as MNK. What else would you guys recommend I try playing?

I mean I'm not complaining

They need to add more jumps though. Or atleast lower the cooldowns on the ones we have. Or make them not lock us into fucking place.
>>
>>378751626
The best probable way to use it will be going through your normal rotation to get the buffs and debuff up then using it on all the combo finishers to unlock the 3 sen skill. Or using it early to get the debuff and buffs up while cutting out the start of each skill at the start of the rotation then using it off CD to hit the finishers for huge burst.

No Guren?

I'd say it's something more like this
1. Kasha combo for the haste buff
2. Gekko combo for the dmg buff
3. Hagakure to convert your two Sen into 40 Kenki, giving you 80 total.
4. Yukikaze combo for the slashing debuff. Follow up with Kaiten.
5. Higanbana Iaijutsu to apply buffed DoT
6. Follow up with Guren since you'll still have 60 Kenki
7. Meikyo Shisui into Kasha, Gekko, Yukikaze to get all 3 Sen
8. Follow up with Kaiten into Midare for buffed 720 attack.
9. Finish with Shinten to use up your leftover Kenki.

I think WHM is the only job in this whole rework that actually got fucked. You can argue about DRK getting a simplified rotation (mostly focused on DA/BN priorities), or SMN's nerfs, or MNK's retarded proc requirements, or some of these "cuckshed" meme shit that people love to spam here, but WHM is the only job that lost most of their unique skills and got pretty much nothing in return.

Set-up and rigging are literally the most boring, time-consuming and costly part of making a new model so it makes sense that they're reusing as many rigs as possible.

I've seen people throw 5 minute hissy fits over a death, blaming tanks, healers, whoever, wasting everybody's time until people have had it and start leaving. As I said, they need the meta comp to compensate for the dps they aren't capable of doing without various buffs.

- 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, Surecast, 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 (doing this also spends the Lillies).
- The new abilities are pitifully weak. Stoneskin is gone and replaced by "Divine Benison", which is a single-target 15% health shield, but consumes all your lillies upon use.
- Plenary Indulgence is just another AoE heal skill, whose healing is also reliant on low-chance RNG procs when you use Cure/Cure II on party members.
- So despite being a "pure healer" their healing isn't actually any better than AST/SCH.
- They have ZERO party DPS utility, unlike AST with their cards, and SCH which just got a stronger version of Battle Litany on a shorter CD.
- Thin Air is the only good new skill they got besides Stone IV. 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.
>>
>>378753958
My predictions are Omega in o4, Gilgamesh in o8, and Shinryu in o12.

I don't think they'll include Exdeath, it's one thing to reference locations and bosses in other games, it'd be another to just straight up put the main villain of another game in there. Then again they did put Xande in Crystal Tower so who knows.

I unsubbed a long time ago as a WHM main with a PLD and MNK maxed out and when i was on my WHM when people would bitch about me not doing enough dps i just would stop casting all dps spells entirely. If the main tank is going to pull three rooms of mobs im not going to fuck around and spam holy because of the healer dps meme. Id cast dps when i felt it was safe to do so and if the tank was sturdy enough to support it.

When you have an undergeared tank that doest use its utility well enough chances are you dont have time to dps on heals. It doesnt stop the shitters from QQ WHY NO DPS HEALER QQ as you frantically cycle heals to keep a squishy tank alive.

The new skills it got are gimmicky RNG. Divine Benison is just an RNG stoneskin heal and Plenary Indulgence is heal with some stupid RNG mechanic where you have to Cure people for stacks with like a 15% rate.
The only good thing it got was the Thin Air buff that makes you use 0 MP on anything for a few seconds and some skills got their cooldowns reduced, like Benediction.

i've seen it, unfortunately. That's part of the reason why I heal. I'd rather set a good example for our role. I tank sometimes too in dungeons for the same reason.

The raids are the only worthwhile content, and the production values are a big part of the reason for that. Why in the world would they syphon even more funds from that into pointless, easy, boring "content" like Diadem, PotD, shitty minigames and shitty ""expert"" dungeons? They spend far too little of their budget on the raids as it is, the game would be objectively better if they just plain stopped designing new gear, minions, house-related things etc and just focused everything on the raids.

Cleric Stance was removed from WHM specifically, is now a babby version of Raging Strikes(5% for 15s) that any healer can take. MND now powers healer DPS. YMMV on whether you think this is bad or not.

WHM has lost Divine Seal, Shroud of Saints, Esuna, and Protect. They're now role skills, so you have to use your cross-class slots to get them back. DS and Shroud are renamed, DS was slightly nerfed.

WHM lost Stoneskin. Not really anything of note considering it's been useless since Graniteskin was removed, but; one of WHM's new Lv61-70 abilities is an instant-cast 15% SS on a 60 second cooldown that also requires a rng proc from casting Cure I/II to be able to use.

WHM's Lv70 ability is Plenary Indulgence. 15s cooldown AoE instant heal with no cost, but it does nothing by itself. To get anything out of it, you have to put stacks of "Confession"(3 max) on other players, again a random proc from hitting them with Cure I/II. Potency of heal is 400/500/600.

Then there's Thin Air, two minute cooldown, 12s duration, reduces all MP costs to 0.

WHM is also getting Stone IV. Stone has been condensed like many other spell lines, so that you only have one Stone button and each new tier is now a trait so you automatically cast whatever is the highest strength for your level.

>>
>>378757272

None of those are going though. The only one that is going is Aero for cross class. All healers still keep an instant cast dot, it just turns into the II variant.

So for something like WHM/AST does this just mean Combust/Aero get traited into their 2 counterpart at a certain level? Or do you only get Aero/Combust 1 (or 2?) at whatever level it unlocks and only that?

If that was the case, then Assize, Asylum and Tetragram should also have the disclaimer in their tooltip that says "consumes all lillies upon execution", but they don't.

Scholar losing Bio I is a dps loss since Bio I is 300 potency, it's not like Bio II gets both potency's rolled together. Same case for AST and Combust I

For WHM, Aero turns into Aero II, Aero III is separate skill. Not sure about AST.

Abilities which are just direct upgrades of lower level abilities simply replace the lower level abilities. Combust 2 replaces Combust 1.

WHM still has Aero 2 and Aero 3 separate, since Aero 3 is AoE, so they still have 2 DoTs.

I bet AST is going to get the reverse of what happened to them in the heavensward patches. They will just be slowly nerfed into oblivion.

They should have just nerfed balance and reworked cards so everything else isn't complete shit. Make ewer and spire 1 card with the new empty spot being the lord and then removed arrow and replaced it with the lady. Then replace minor arcana with the ability to choose your card on a 3 minute cooldown.Balancing them around a single overpowered card is fucking retarded.

>>378757669
that skill is just a joke in general, Medica + Assize practically tops up your entire party from anything as it is and Assize is down to a 60 second cooldown with SB. Your party has to fuck up astronomically for that skill to be useful.

It's never useful because it only heals members with confessions, which only last 30 seconds and are 20% RNG proc on Cure 1/2 when cast on that person specifically, so at most you are going to have like 2-3 confession stacks active if you're lucky.

If you're concerned with actual balance, then White Mage looks like it's going to be nerfed into oblivion come 4.0 so Arcanist is probably a much better choice, but ultimately it comes down to whatever you prefer.

What WHM should have, since being the pure healer, making it so that when overhealing players start seeping out the heal which is damaging to enemies so all players have an aura that is giving dot to enemies whilst being healed themselves.

>>378758694
They're applying this weird class fantasy treatment to White Mage trying to make it "the best of the best" in terms of healing throughput and having it be poor at everything else. The trick with this game is, the other healers are more than capable of healing the most challenging content in the game without a White Mage, and they bring more buffs/damage than a White Mage since it's supposed to be the best "pure healer".

A Scholar is a pet healer, so at high level play they micromanage their pets for a good amount of their healing while the Scholar provides damage-mitigating shields and deals good damage as far as healers are concerned. Good Scholars (good healers in general, really) are constantly asking themselves, "How can I be as efficient as possible with my healing so I can spend more time doing damage to enemies?"

Astrologians are the kings and queens of buffs and healing. Pretty much steals the "best healer" fantasy from White Mages in their current iteration. They have nearly as many options to heal someone as a White Mage, for just as much, and they bring these crazy versatile buffs to the party in the form of a card drawing system that looks complicated on the surface, but is really quite simple once you understand everything going on. As a beginner Astrologian, your biggest concern is going to be remembering that you actually have to throw out heals while you're dicking around with pulling and holding certain cards for certain situations. The only RNG aspect of Astrologians is which cards they draw, which can marginally slow down content clearing if you get super unlucky with drawing damage buffs, but Astrologians have no issues keeping people alive when played to capacity.
>>
>>378759185
RNG, but you can manipulate RNG with their abilities essentially.
