Based on this implication:
>They mention that changes to major debuffs (assuming slashing and whatnot) will be shifted so that as long as you are doing a somewhat normal rotation they should be automatic.
Does this mean that the slashing debuff will be done by all tanks possibly?

Sounds almost like simplifying the rotation so that you don't have combos for every day of the week? Might be nice, especially given they're adding new abilities

>ozma
>stand on the arena in such a way that you put a gap between yourself and the party member
>rescue!

that's the only big issue i see with this, anything else is a minor annoyance, since they can just heal you after wasting your time

Someone post PLD's block

>upset yet not surprised they listened to heal-only babies and got rid of Cleric Stance
>remember how frustrating CS was. sometimes it wouldn't come off or would come off and get on again due to double click
>now have a skill that pulls party members for giggles

I'm not sure what to make out of the situation. I still dislike that the gap between a good SCH and a bad SCH will be way smaller now.

Updated as new details come to light.

I like the role-shared action system but it has a problem. It seems to be trying to offer players a choice of what abilities to take, but some of the abilities are 100% mandatory, and not even from an optimization point of view. Just from a "can clear content" point of view.

Healers HAVE to take Esuna and Lucid Dream, and probably Swiftcast too. On top of that most of them are probably going to want to take Protect and Affection (assuming it's just divine seal like the icon suggests). Which doesn't even leave room for Cleric Stance, E4E or Rescue. I guess they really want you to switch stuff out based on the fight.

>yfw PLD

>I still dislike that the gap between a good SCH and a bad SCH will be way smaller now.
Why?

Everyone gets their synergies: the expansion.

Since Pacification isn't a thing anymore, is Esuna REALLY required?

i think they've moved the debuffs around, like maim now does the slashing debuff and path does the damage increase

>have us make a choice between 5 of 9 skills
>5 are mandatory pieces of the original kits

I was really looking forward to using rescue, too.

I just want some people to play this game with, everyone I played with has quit. As cool as all the changes look, this game's content just isn't sustainable for a solo player to find entertainment in for very long.

>Ever removing pacification.
>Not mocking warriors for having a berserk macro.

Because its shit. Same with the WM stuff. Anything with the slightest bit of inconvenience must be changed for the shitters. Already with the cross class actions, we're seeing any sort of specialized class (NIN) get phased out and soon in 5.0 the only real difference between roles will be how easy it is for them to do the same dps as x shitter.

Well the reason why I pose the question like that, is because maim applied the debuff, but didn't show it with the maim icon. It was just the generic slashing resist down debuff. So hopefully that's a thing.

Why would I be glad the skill ceiling of my job got way lower now? Healbots still won't DPS but now I don't even get to stance dance. The only redeeming factor is how finicky getting off CS was, but they could have fixed that instead of completely removing it.

I am done arguing with imbeciles defending the change.
What is a good xiv replacement? is BDO a good mmo?

it's korean

No its garbage.

Don't healer damage abilities work off their primary stat now anyway instead of the stat swap that existed in cleric stance? It's a slight DPS nerf (maybe) but you'll still be doing better than shitters who stand around doing fuck all.

STORMCASUAL

or

SIMPLEBLOOD

It's either WoW or XIV.
So, WoW.

yeah sam's debuff is tied to one of their seals so they'll use it anyway, and i'd assume ninja gets it put on gust slash and dancing edge does some other thing now

which would be nice since i don't have to play the game of "is the war going to do it or do i have to"

It's an MMO. You're supposed to meet new people and make new friends. Not playing with your fucking co-workers, you homo.


There is none. FF14 is honestly the only good MMO on the market right now. Everything else is dead, P2W, or WoW.

So no, BDO sucks. It was fun for like 2 weeks.

What change? What are you so upset about?

>Since Pacification isn't a thing anymore,
huh? I don't see that mentioned anywhere

>Healers HAVE to take Esuna and Lucid Dream,
Why would a SCH need Lucid Dream when they don't generate a whole lot of enmity and Aetherflow+ED provide them with all the mana they want unless they fuck up and misplan?

Its alright until ~56 then it's only fun if you've got friends to play it with.

You'll be back

rescue is that thing you cross class when you realize your party is full of miqote, au ra, and lalafell

>remember years ago spamming 4.0 4.0 4.0 and making fun of ff14 with Sup Forums when 1.0 came out
>now i'm hype as fucking for an x-pac

Is Yoshi literally god?

Wrong place to ask.

Memeroe detected

in raid content only one healer has to take protect.
also maybe only 0-1 esunas since casters can cleanse dots as well, depending on fight

Even hitting the boss with my book made me better than a heal shitter. I don't care if it was a nerf or buff to the job's DPS.
Not only is it a straight up casualization of the job, it is an unneeded one. It only damages those who wanted to play a difficult job to optimize. It makes no difference to heal shitters. That is what upsets me.

>It's an MMO. You're supposed to meet new people and make new friends. Not playing with your fucking co-workers, you homo.
Game doesn't really lend itself to meeting new people.

>expecting casters to give up a slot so you can save one

BLM already has to take the give 20% mana one.

Where are my monk bro?
What do you of the change?

FELL
CLEAVE

stance dancing is a waste of everyones time, it's not difficult, just annoying

Most just like to shit post about him, but he honestly has done an amazing job - as a key bit is he listens to the player. Bard is a show of this. Folks were wanting his head for the changes, but now they love him as he reverted it.

>be WHM
>want to look at the new role abilities for neat new things to use
>five of what used to be skills you got by leveling are on there
>three of them are unconditionally mandatory and were WHM-specific

>one is important, but it's the only one you can really get by without, and you'll have to because...
>the last slot has to be Swiftcast
T-thanks SE...

>People thinking PLD is guaranteed when we havent even seen DRK skills
>They already had magic covered and now rampart, so any more damage bonuses and they'll still be the better pick

Don't give a fuck until they make the movement and combat better. It's so fucking sluggish, its unreal.

>2.5 second GCD

Who here 25+ and chill? Gotta get the last points outta Feast before its gone.

Cleric stance was trash because it was always buggy.

Heal only shitters won't even know this happened. They still won't dps. And the difference between "good" and "bad" players in this game is literally just trying and not netflixing. Even without these changes. Making it more tard friendly just makes my DF runs slightly less of a headache.

>DRK lost Reprisal and Low Blow
I told you fags it had too many skills used purely for DPS.

>meme 3.0 skill spam is their new big thing

WAR got shafted.

youre on the wrong character control scheme
swap to Legacy

>new warrior skill reduces cost of skills by 50%
>so fell cleave will cost 25
>infuriate restores 50
>SIX FELL CLEAVES

MCH isnt losing it's turret is it?
:(

MNK is gonna be great for a couple patches then SAM will get Balance tier buffs since no one is playing them.

*think

it's not fair that ast and whm are losing their mana refresh and being forced to bring the cross class when and sch gets it's own in aetherflow

And their solution was completely removing it.
Like the other user said we will get to the point where every job will be homogenized to do the same.

>yfw PLD is back on their feet, the dust shaken off and they reclaim their place as a feared and respected tank with their brothers

Healsluts get ready to service your masters.

>every WAR loves Fell Cleave
>Yoshi lets us use it way more often
Best 4.0 change.

ITS NOT NEW

I get it, it added an extra dynamic to DPS that made you think. Except most people don't like to think. The way they look at it is they can keep WHM doing the same optimal thing (which is DPS and Heal) while making it easier for casuals to do so.

From SE's point of view, its a win win. I think this may allow SE to make content require Healer DPS (as they have said it just allowed you to make up for lower ilvl) because now "everyone" can do it with easy. Kind of the theme with the xpac changes, make everything more accessible. Just hope it can translate into a bit harder content.

Plus you can do the same for Decimate if you need the AoE. So much AoE damage.

Only when you're done prepping the monk.

war gets the glowing red eyes like curious gorge + triple uppercut

fell cleave still stronk all other tanks btfo

I think the community sucks his dick a little too hard but I think that him and the dev team have made a better game than 1.0. Someone could argue that it still isn't good but few would say it's worse on the whole now.

>That fucking "Get behind me!" barrier

Dick status: Diamonds

Tornado kick was 500 too before HW launched, I wouldnt get too excited

That's for the DRG and NIN, fuckbois, sweetie. Especially if they're east coast NIN, press F to pay respects

all other tanks permanently DESTROYED

>Just hope it can translate into a bit harder content.
I'd for that to happen, but I wouldn't count on it. Yoshi did mention in some live letter he liked the idea of trial challenge runs (such as lower ilvl sync).

>2017
>paying a subscription fee to play an mmo

Dont count them out yet. Im sure they have something to pull out of their sleeve to defeat PLD.

Yeah, but it's already close to that bruv. The only difference is that you don't have to level other classes to get mandatory cross class skills

gtfo third worlder

I just want non-linear dungeons

berserk is 30% buff now
Still being tested internally, expect changes

Let me know when fell cleave eats all of war's gauge

>false flagging to divide the tanks

Back in your hole, cuck.

>RDM
>They have a group buff cooldown called "Embolden" which increases their own magic damage by 20% and all allies' physical damage by 10%. However every 4 seconds the effect loses 4% of the magic buff and 2% of the physical buff. Cooldown 120s.

>In Soviet Russia, Mage buffs BRD!

You want something new? That's what our charge, triple punch and immunity to almost all CC is for.

Yeah but now there are actually fun or useful abilities that you're missing out on because you don't have any slots after filling the mandatory ones.

>tfw ping zapper fixed my latency issues.

...

>Summons swords, looks stylish as hell and buffs the A-team
RDM is looking more and more like the primo job this expansion.

My computer got a tad loud

>Now I want to level a MNK, BRD/MCH, RDM and SAM
>Still going to do Fell Cleave first
>Going to drop NIN finally unless they get some cooler shit then frog

Think I'll do the main quest on my WAR and dailes on my whatever my new alt is. Is MNK fun to play now? Tempted to knock that out to 60 before SB.

Any ausfags notice any difference in ping on new NA servers?

>WAR loses Storm's path Debuff
>WAR loses Inner Beast + Foresight for a 2min CD Rampart
>Tanks in general get a massive damage nerf by not getting damage from vitality but strength without being able to wear strength accessories

Are you cunts really happy about that?

...

...

...

...

My computer is always loud

Xiv is the only game to actually make my computer breath for air.

WAR still has IB, it shares a key with Fell Cleave now. We're directly upgrading Foresight to Rampart. Raidwide mitigation will be on one of the skills not shown. I get to Fell Cleave a lot more since Path basically generates 2 stacks instead of 1.

More focus on actual tank gear.
So, yes.

So what are my caster bros switching to now that we lost 20% of our damage?

Losing storms path is big but it doesnt hurt that bad when you remember NO ONE has a path equivalent since DRK lost reprisal too.
