Seeing as it's a two month old build, which they already show cased fixing it, along with stating they've done this to other classes as well? I'm not too worried.

Remember AST on release? Now it's god tier. I'm feeling they've learned from their mistakes.

I'd honestly like if WHM could, instead of a shield, increase a persons HP for a short amount of time, allowing healing % to be better on them, for like. . .twenty or thirty seconds. It would make them very worth taking, more so if things are going to truck people harder.

Aka, a cast able thrill of battle on allies.

Can we talk about the raids?

How the hell is an FFT raid going to work? And do we have any idea what the "theme" Omega is going to have? Part of why Alexander is so good is because of the steampunk goblin mecha theme. Is Omega just going to be lol robutts?
>>
>>379340386
To be honest, we don't even know what encounter design is like in 4.0.

With WHM getting even more healing, SCH getting more sustained and burst healing options, and AST getting more healing as well kind of implies healing will be more demanding.

It's all guesswork until we actually see the content, dungeons and raids both.

I'm thinking this as well, as tanks got a few skills they can use to defend others with. Hell, even -cover- got buffed. With them pruning unused skills, I figured Cover would go - but assuming it's still there now enhanced? I'm thinking the damage is going be very rough now.

Less DPS check. More tanking and heal checks really while dealing with status effects and dealing with mechs.

What dude MCH got a ton of support. Our hypercharge (on two minute cooldown) is now 5% to all damage AND Dismantle is now 10% physical damage reduction (for like 4 seconds).

Meanwhile, you fucking hyperbolic manchild, BRD only gets:
•perm 2% crit

•15% to direct hit stats for party
•Bonus to Max HP OR
•Bonus to Physical Damage Reduction OR

Well I thought about that, but the way garleans go about things is more horde esque of conquer more land so they can prosper and seeing outsiders as inferior.


Option to join the garleans when?

Fixing WHM

-Lilies are still gathered, but now have a small chance (~3-7%) to proc on Regen ticks and 20% to proc on Stone 1/2/3/4 casts.
-Lilies are still used with certain skills as they are cast, but only one at a time unless you use...
-Full Bloom: next ability will consume all lilies collected. Additional effect: the potency of the next skill is increased by 20~40%. 60~120s CD, OGCD instant-cast)

Now you're encouraged to DPS and let Regen tick without overhealing, you can blow all your lilies when you want to or give minor buffs to your other skills when you don't, and fuck you AST Earthly Star should not be so ridiculously strong on top of all the Balance and card bullshit you have. Numbers are variable because I can't estimate values for shit.

I've been playing fairly heavily for a few weeks as a new player to get to at least HW before SB drops but recently my mouse has felt completely different in sensitivity to the point where I even tried getting a new mouse but it's no different and I can't play anything like this. I feel like I wasted the past 130~150 hours I've put into the game so far. Mechanical/Hardware issues are the one thing that gets my blood pressure through the roof and I feel like I'm about to punch the fucking wall.
But I was going PLD so I guess it kind of evens out in the end?

That took me less than a minute on google.

Honestly, that's a shitty argument considering that the JP would face the same problem if they started introducing higher level spells. Koji wanted to future proof the system when it's not his job to do so. Not to mention there's only so many variations of spells you can add before entering ability bloat, and considering XIV got its pruning as early as the second expansion, they will avoid adding twelve Fire spells.

Surely if he was like the rest of the first brood then he should have been relatively normal sided but he but ended up being like the size of uldah or bigger as a primal

Also the lore is inconsistent, they say Omega is what subdued bahamut but notebook says he was subdued by a near infinite amount of voidsent from cloud of darkness

Because primals never end up looking like what they're based on. The rage of Tiamat and the Meracydians beefed him up into a pissed off monster that didn't resemble the original at all. You can even see him in the lore book and his original form wasn't even remotely similar.
>they say Omega is what subdued bahamut but notebook says he was subdued by a near infinite amount of voidsent from cloud of darkness
The Voidsent weakened him by just throwing endless waves of enemies at him until they ran out of aether to power him with. Then Omega came in and stuff him inside Dalamud.

Because they spent all of Heavensward trying to make PLD compete in damage through raw weaponskill potency increases without giving them a multiplier buff with a decent uptime. Now that FoF has a short enough cooldown that (between it and Requiescat) it's basically their version of Darkside/Maim, PLD now has a really effective high-uptime damage multiplier, along with crazy-ass potencies that were designed to be competitive without that sort of multiplier.

DRK's average combo weaponskill potency is 227, and PLD's average combo weaponskill potency is 289. It's a little ridiculous.

It's also almost certainly going to be toned down between the event build and SB launch, but it's more fun to pretend that all these tooltips are final because they basically dispense arbitrary doom and providence to all classes at random.

I dunno, I think he's trying to separate the two. One (MCH) seems like it's gonna be a straight DPS class and the other seems like it's supposed to be an actual support class. Because, remember, MCH/BRD don't restore resources as well as they used ON TOP OF every DPS getting a resource restoration skill.

Now, having said that, BRD damage seems just as good AND their AoE was untouched. So I don't fucking know what that crazy Jap is thinking.

In my previous post I meant to say that I'd dual main MCH and BRD if I have to in order to join a raid group, maybe keep SAM onthe side for fun stuff.

Seriously though I'm not sure what he's thinking, how are they going to talk about in the live letter classes energizing while making sure MCH, SAM, and BLM still have no real utility aside from slightly more damage then the others.

Except SAM if those potency's don't change, they'll be smoking other DPS easy if they stay the same.

Just want to pop in and say that FoF has a 25s duration now, not 30s. If you watch any of the footage from the media tour the tooltip says 30s but when they actually use the ability it is 25s long. This effectively removes one whole combo (except fast blade) form being buffed by FoF.

It might still be 30 when the game launches, but I think around 25s is more realistic. OTherwise PLD is gonna be insanely strong and it'll be hilarious to see them as the highest dps MT and OT.

No, my numbers are correct.

DRK's combo weaponskills (as per event tooltips) are Hard Slash (150), Syphon Strike (250), and Souleater (280), for a total of 680, or 226.6 per weaponskill. This is the only base combo that DRK does, so you only need to get the average of those three. (Bloodspiller, or any DA effects, are basically 'extra' to their combos)

PLD's weaponskill combo rotation is one Goring Blade combo, two Royal Authority combos, repeat. So that's three Fast Blades (3x160), three Riot Blades (3x240), one Goring Blade (260+420 DoT), and two Royal Authorities (2x360), for a total of 2600 potency across 9 weaponskills - or an average of 288.8 potency per weaponskill.


What you linked is someone trying to map out full rotations for all three tanks, doing a piss-poor job of optimizing equally across all three classes, getting basic information wrong (the duration of Fight or Flight, for one), and then trying to get the entire FFXIV community to latch onto those numbers as gospel, like MrHappy's Garuda EX strategy or a "Xenosys Vex invented the idea of not using your tank stance" aggressive tanking guide.

They're making it so you can no longer allocate stats, nor equip gear with the non-primary stat of the job so no more STR accessories. Most you can do is meld STR.

The accuracy on tank gear still has to be converted to something though, even if it's not Direct Hit.

No more STR accessories for tanks and customizable stats points will be a big hit in their damage, though. I don't think that not-Parry and mini-crits will fix that.

Going from VIT/STR to pure STR is about a 10% reduction in attack power. Add Tenacity and rotational DPS increases on top of that, and tank DPS is still fine.

Yeah, so? It's still only a 10% reduction.

The tank attack power calculation doesn't just add your VIT and STR together. It's 45% of each.

So you lose the attack power on your accessories, but gain a shitload more from your armour and weapon. It's still a 10% loss, but not the doomsday "half of all your damage" loss people think it is

Are you retarded? Tanks will NOT be able to equip Strength gear in 4.0, meaning they are effectively losing ALL main stat damage on their accessories aside from melded strength and secondary stats. It is an ENORMOUS nerf in damage unless tenacity is the most overtuned broken stat in the game.

The issue is with the way it scales up as you upgrade gear. Maybe at the beginning of level 70 content, and i290-i330, it's only a slight nerf, but as your gear gets higher, DPS (and even healers) are going to be getting full effects of their main stat on both their left-side and right-side gear, while tanks are only going to gain attack power as far as their left-side gear will give it to them.

It also creates a situation where BiS gear for tanks is almost certainly going to be expensive, pentamelded crafted accessories, since they'll have a lot more secondary stats than their actual raid gear, which is the only thing that will contribute to damage.

>>379344701

Explain for everyone in the thread who is saying you're a retard then.
>>
>>379344769
It actually is only 60 potency when you get it, with a trait later that raises it to 110.

In Stormblood, the trait is removed and it's just 110 all the time.

>>379344702
it's an aoe ability that isn't as good as every other aoe ability, that's it
it's a potency increase over single target so you should still use it on big pulls but don't expect anything spectacular from it

>>379344769
it gets a trait that bumps it to 110 a few levels later for some reason, 60 is the base potency

Me and a couple friends 3 manned all of coil except T9 because I think it was impossible mechanics wise.

>>379344880
Before VIT was added into the tank damage calculaton, Attack Power for tanks was simply equal to their Strength. 1 Strength = 1 Attack Power.

When they changed it so it scales off VIT too, it was changed to Attack Power = 0.45 * Strength + 0.45 * Attack Power. Essentially, your Attack Power is 45% of your VIT + 45% of your Strength.

Currently, a BIS WAR has 1284 Strength and 1740 Vitality, including food. From this, we can deduce that their Attack Power is 1360.8.

Now, let's change it back to 1 Strength = 1 Attack Power. We'll also exchange the 1 Strength accessory they have for an equivalent VIT accessory melded with Strength. Their new Strength is 1221, which means that their Attack Power is also 1221.

1360.8 - 1221 = 139.8 loss
1221 is 10.2% less than 1360.

Parry did not help with that damage whatsoever.

You can only choose 1 (one) of the following moves to use ONCE a day.

- Myxomatosis: take control of a Miqo'te ally and run them into an enemy whereupon they will dance and pose like a slut for 10s and charm enemies within 30 yalms. While the ally dances, party HP, MP, and TP are refreshed. Upon ally's death or the end of this ability they are disconnected from the game and ejected from the instance.
Additional effect: targeted player will be unable to use slut glamours for 7 days

- Potato Harvest: use a Lalafellan ally as a living grenade, tossing them to a targeted location and dealing a 500 potency attack on impact. The player who was tossed is ejected from the instance and returned to the character creation screen, whereupon they will have to choose a different race to log back in.
Additional effect: Paralysis (5s)

-Scaly Surprise
Cause an ally Au Ra player to transform into the avatar of Vishap, dealing a 250 potency attack fearing enemies around them. After the ally returns to normal they are swapped to the opposite gender and will be unable to use a Fantasia for 30 days.
Fear duration: 10s
Additional effect: instantly kills any ally who has recently abandoned a Steps of Faith instance

By level 70 you will be able to cough on T13 and destroy Bahamut

>>379345216
so all they have to do is make Attack Power = 1.1x Str and nothing's changed

I honestly think the change was just so tanks didn't get double boosted by food Vitality + Vit potions
>>
>>379345090
It's probably better this way. This way, you can clear it at your leisure and actually watch the cutscenes without having a join a group that wants to farm after clearing. I basically skipped all of coil cutscenes because my group wanted to jump to the next turn asap. I still wonder why the game was designed like that while all those cutscenes weren't viewable later. I'll probably make a new character at some point just to reach Lv70 and solo them and watch all the cutscenes this time.

>so all they have to do is make Attack Power = 1.1x Str and nothing's changed
Ya, except they'll also be getting extra damage from Tenacity + whatever they convert Accuracy to, plus increased damage on their rotations.

And even if they didn't, it doesn't fucking matter. Tanks don't need to be balanced against anyone except other tanks. If they reduce their damage output, it just means they want tanks to be responsible for a slightly smaller proportion of group DPS. The only people this could possibly upset are "muh numbers" window-lickers.

It's much more worth being concerned about potential disparity between tanks.

No, because spells in 14 don't have a logical progression regardless of what you stick on the end.

Well, they still need to rework lilies and confessions since those are just retarded in their known formats. It wouldn't necessarily need to be some major party utility though. The suggestion I've seen where lilies just improve the whm's throughput or speed would be useful but not overpowered.
>>
>>379348338
This is a terrible idea.

WHM's problem right now is that Yoshi has decided to make it a healer-only class but while giving it a stealth nerf in its healing by removing some of its utility spells and making the core new healing mechanic work on an RNG.

The solution is to fix that, not make the other healers broken pieces of shit to make up for it.

You have to know this is a terrible idea. I don't know a single WHM worth their party slot that would use Cure 2 on things almost exclusively. It's basically forcing players to build bad habits just to adapt to a new mechanic.
They need to re-work the system for it to be any good and they need to give WHM some utility to make it anywhere near AST good.

Make their healing so absurdly good that you can forgo a co-healer and bring a 5th DPS.

>>379349072
Easy
-Lilies now always apply with every GCD, not just Cure 1 and 2, Fuck 20% nonsense, if you use a spell, you get a lily. It's the same system Priests in TERA use.
-Confessions now offer healing over time and a boost to healing the more that are accumulated
-Give a spell which lets WHM sacrifice a single lily for instant addition of one of their resources.

I don't even play WHM and these seem pretty obvious.

Doesn't make a lot of difference if WHM still don't have spells and abilities that allow them to heal at the level an AST or SCH can do.

There's no spamming necessary, that's not the purpose. It's a secondary resource, which is a theme for the expansion in general.

I'm going to explain this mechanic because for some reason this community just doesn't understand it.

If anybody thinks that you need to have 3 lilies before using an ability for it to be worthwhile, you're wrong. That's not the point. It's a bonus if you have all 3, but it's by no means required. Assize, Asylum, Tetra, none of these existed when lilies existed and their cooldowns weren't ever balanced around it. Now, you'll just get usually 4% sometimes 10% cooldown off reduction since you'll probably have a lily when you use it. It's a nice little bonus that lets you have them sooner.

Before anybody even fucking BEGINS to talk about "B-B-B-BUT YOU NEED TO USE 15 CURE 2S TO GET ONE EXTRA TETRAGRAMMATON OVER THE COUR-" shut the fuck up. Nobody cares because you do not spam Tetra on cooldown, you use it when you need it. If you have a lily, you'll get it back a little bit faster, that's it.

What about Divine Benison? HINT: This ability doesn't get any more powerful at 3 lilies, it just has a lower cooldown whoopdifucking doo. Casting one (1) Cure 2 (two) gets you one (1) lily, and you can use that Divine Benison right away if you want, it's a 0 (zero) MP shield, meaning it's healing will never be wasted but you could probably better use it to prep for a Tank buster.

That's the gimmick. Cast a Cure 2, get a free 15% damage shield as an oGCD. That Cure 2 you use to get that guaranteed lily? *MIGHT* just proc a Confession stack, which is again, a oGCD cure that costs 0 MP. That's WHM's entire design philosophy in case you hadn't noticed. To be supremely mana efficient, and the majority of their kit happens oGCD now.

But fuck ALL of that. It's not Chain Stratameme or some other raid DPS steroid so everyone just whines and calls it shit. Fuck this community.

>At 100 Bloom, they get a Lily, and the bloom gauge is reset. Lillies stack up to 3.

Exactly.

The objective of the game is to kill the boss. Healing doesn't kill the boss faster. Shielding allies doesn't kill the boss faster. You only need as much healing as is required to survive the fight, and then all remaining effort can and should be focused on killing the boss faster. And if ANY healer can provide this bare minimum level of healing, then their only real individual value is how they can contribute to killing the boss faster.

Killing the boss faster improves outcomes in all cases. In means the boss deals fewer attacks, meaning less overall damage. It means phases last a shorter amount of time, meaning there's less opportunity to fuck up mechanics.

This is why "pure healing" doesn't work. If it's not REQUIRED to clear the fight, then it's meaningless.

>B-but they have high personal DPS
True. But even a 10% advantage in personal DPS means nothing compared to even a 2% DPS boost to the entire raid. Healers provide the smallest proportion of DPS in a group, so anything they can do to improve the DPS of others is FAR more valuable than anything that improves their own DPS.

Oh DO TELL, please.
Do tell how the only GCD to proc a lily being the single target spell with a high cost is not conductive to spamming the single target spell with a high cost in order to get lilies. Of which you need upwards of 15 GCDs to get a full stack.

>If anybody thinks that you need to have 3 lilies before using an ability for it to be worthwhile, you're wrong. That's not the point. It's a bonus if you have all 3, but it's by no means required.

Oh so it's fucking worthless then, huh?
Do you even read your own post? This is basic fucking math, here.

The only way this is viable is if it procs on every one of the GCD abilities. It's actually worthless unless you either build toward lily stacks by using Cure or just getting really, really lucky. Do you seriously think anyone is going to spend their time trying to get a 1/5 chance for a lily on any spell that's not Cure2?

Just read your fucking post for a minute. Your entire argument is that it's okay because "it doesn't make it powerful, it just lowers the cooldown", but that's exactly what DPS is about? Lowering cooldowns? Other classes get the same thing with Lilies, but better. Meanwhile WHM now has the *chance* to do what these other classes can do without the RNG or curespam bullshit, AND it's not even worth it when you do.

One of the best WHMs on the EU servers gave his opinion about it recently. If you care to not be an idiot, you can read it and see for yourself by someone who actually did the math instead of mindlessly theorycrafting inside of his head.

You'll use Cure 2 to get a lily when you want it, you don't need lilies all the time as only one spell actually requires them.

whm is for absolute healing, compared to other healers its just a wasted DPS slot because the other healers can heal just enough to pass by or heal just as much while not dropping DPS.

unless they add a dungeon like SavAlex day 1 was like you will probably never see another WHM among people who actually know what they're doing.

another thing to blame for WHM's shortcomings is the fact the entire game is based on dealing dps regardless of role, which in theory would mean WHM is "good" until you find out as sat you're never really dealing damage anyways, just buffing others for their damage instead.

these reasons are why i quit WHM and went for tank with SCH as my main healer now, but theres more on the SCH decision:

1. WHM, unlike SCH and AST cannot adapt its playstyle depending on the other healer in raids or depending on the needs of the party, resulting in 2 - even 1 - WHM being massive DPS loss compared the other two.

2. Base DPS of WHM is shit, and WHM in general has no good damage abilities that matter, compared to SCH being DPS through DoT's and minor attacks, WHM is just hot fucking shit. AST is no better, but its made up in the buffs they can give.

3. Despite having MASSIVE healing over time, WHM still doesnt have enough uptime BECAUSE of reason number 2, it's just not fucking good.

4. >>379340386
This will never happen, as much as a good idea as it is.
>Remember AST on release? Now it's god tier. I'm feeling they've learned from their mistakes.
If this was true they wouldn't make WHM useless in the first place. SE has no fucking clue how to balance the game, and are entirely dependent on the community playing the classes to figure it out in the long run anyways.

Didn't you just say that it didn't involve spamming cure 2?

I hate linking to *that fucking place*, but someone did a write-up on why it's bad and why no one who plays the class thinks its a good idea.

Not surprised your a SCH. You probably jerk off to the idea of WHM being removed altogether.

>>379350992
WHM has by far the best DPS of the healers, ESPECIALLY in SB when SCH got their damage nerfed. I don't think you know what you're talking about

>You'll use Cure 2 to get a lily when you want it,
Good healers minimize usage of Cure 2 because it's a single-target spell in a game that specifically prioritizes AOE healing.
What this is doing is essentially saying that if you want to maximize your DPS, you'll play like a shit healer.

>You'll still roll Regen on the Main tank and use your other spells the exact same as you always have prior. White Mage gameplay didn't change it just got more efficient, that's it.

It's effectively a nerf. Instead of giving WHM stance dancing or any of the benefits they had previously, they instead have this worthless fucking system that only works if you play like shit.

Great job, YoshiP

That's fucking different and you know it.
Spear is absolute shit because there are other, better things for AST to be spending their time on than that shit. WHM's new mechanic is like if they gave spear to WHM, but also gave it the shittiest odds imaginable to actually work.

Or in other words:

>As an AST mage, I have a somewhat different perspective. I think everyone here knows that when an AST gets a spear and cannot redraw it or Royal Roads it, they cry a lot, since it is a pretty useless (or situational, depending on how you like it) card. How I view this Lily mechanic, though, is an "on-demand" worse version of the Spear card. I mean, 20% cooldown reduction? On one skill? That requires an average of 15 GCDs to use (not even counting that it only procs on Cure and Cure II)?

Comparing it to spear when it's supposed to be the thing that brings WHM up to the new classes pretty much prove why it's a stupid decision.

>BEST MP-POOL GUYS :^(
Meanwhile, AST and SCH don't even have to spend MP on heals. The only class that has to is White Mage, and they can only negate MP costs for a very brief amount of time. Far too brief to both heal and DPS.
>>
>>379351235
Spear is garbage because its % is garbage, and it's also competing with far better cards like Arrow or Balance. Lilies can lower recasts up to 50%.

I'm not a fan of the Lily mechanic but comparing them to Spear makes little sense besides their similar effect.
>>
>>379349467

I play a male cat because it was the best option for me.

- humans are boring, I'm playing a fantasy game ffs
- elezen look like giraffes and their proportions are wacky, but wouldn't mind playing as if catboys didn't exist
- fuck being a potato
- Roe is too muscly and buff
- male dragons animations are stupid and I think all of their face options are dumb

Cats only have one good face too but at least I don't look like a mutant and I don't have to settle for being a boring human. I hope 5.0 gives us either more body customization options or a brand-new race that doesn't look stupid.

>Asylum makes people inside of it deal holy aspected bonus dmg for the duration

Bandage that doesn't fix the core issue this game have but at least the class will be ''desirable'' on top of teaching fags to actually stand in asylum.

Make it like 5 or 10% so that an AST with good luck on balance draws will still come out on top.

I don't play healer by the way so that probably sounds retarded as fuck, oh well.
>>
>>379351693
>Lilies can lower recasts up to 50%.
Yeah, In PvP.

In PvE it's 20% for 3 Lillies, same as Spear.
>>
>>379351736

Sorry but the whole "humans are boring" thing doesn't hold up in final, every race int his game is big human, small human, human with cat ears etc.

Best option for you meaning you're a raging homosexual?
>>
>>379351693
It's 20% at max lilies and usable on one ability, so you get a weaker effect than a single spear, and you have to build to 3 lilies either by wasting thousands of mp or spending a bunch of time deliberately not using cooldown. It's shit.

>IT'S NOT DIFFERENT AT ALL
>Every AST main and WHM player tells you it's fucking different because the two mechanics aren't remotely the same and have wildly differing rewards.

>I think one of the main problems with this system is that the reward kind of sucks. If you told an AST that their new system would be that they would get a free Spear on average every 15 GCD, that could not be redrawn or RR'd, or now converted to the Lord or Lady, they would literally deck you.
>Ft. one of the best ASTs on Ragnarok

I think the fact that the math doesn't work in your favor, every healer that has pitched in has stated that it's not the same way, and every WHM player who has done the math has proven that it's not the same statistically or mechanically blows a huge hole in your argument.

Stop dancing around with your prolapsed anus because you said something monumentally retarded and got called out on it by people who know what they're talking about.

Ahaha omg you actually did that stupid stuttering meme because you don't have an answer to the other healers having better mp restoration and better oGCD 0 mp healer.

Can you hide the lock by the first hotbar?
>>
>>379349072
It's pretty easy. You just have to realize that "healer" still covers mitigation and shielding as well as actual raw HP restoration, and then make WHM very strong at all of those things.

Give them back ARR Stoneskin and Stoneskin II, and let them use Stoneskin II in combat.

Give them a floor-effect bubble with a 10% damage reduction, and give it a TP/MP restore effect for people inside.

Make Lilies proc 100% on Cure II, 50% on Cure, 30% on Regen ticks, 20% per player hit by Medica, 30% per Cure II, 10% per Medica II and 5% per Medica II tick. And make Lilies work like Greased Lightning, with 5% Damage, Healing, and Attack Speed per Lily.

Make their level 70 ability one with a 2m cooldown, that removes 150s from the cooldown of the next off-GCD skill they use (ie: Makes everything but Benediction reset immediately, and reduces that to 30s).

If their purpose is to be the "pure healer", make them powerful as FUCK at healing, not "Oh, I suppose if you squint a little they can do some things better than AST, if you don't want Balance".

No, go on, tell us about how this single-skill reduction is the same as AST's spear. Go on, I want to hear it. Fucking dumb cunt.
