Will the NM's be able to instantly wipe an entire alliance?
The reason we're spamming procs isn't to cap lights, it's to restore fanatics drinks so we can actually survive to win the fight. Capping lights is easy, hit EV or a HV or two and deal damage. On the NM's that matter, Tier 6 or Pil for example, if you don't have fanatics up you die quickly. Charmga, Deathga, Doomga, Aello's cheap move (silence + amnesia + paralyze + encumbrance muddle + high damage). Katastrax's aoe spam, Aoe spam from Gnaum or Kaggen or Flank Opening from Pil, all examples of monsters that you need to have fanatics or die.
This plays well into the next expansion that they have planned, in which you enter yet another version of abyssea called "Aessyba" through the maws. In this new abyssea, atmas are randomly assigned to players and cannot be selected. Harder NMs will infuse atmas that make you suck more. This will be ok, because defeating NMS will not be necessary. Instead, you will be required to befriend them, and bestow them with sufficient self esteem to let go of their material possessions and embrace their inner beauty. This will be considered a full expansion as it will have 9 old zones re-skinned in different colors, 200+ renamed NMs and the new job class "Evil Genie Developer Bro", a job who's JAs have names that imply something awesome, but when used do something neither you nor you party expected or wanted.
I don't think they're getting rid of or limiting the number of temps you get, this is most likely going back to something they noted changing earlier where Red and Blue would be capped at the start of the fight. This would mean you wouldn't have to rely heavily on procs to cap those lights, meaning you would get less temps if you are not proc'ing.
It doesn't sound like they're stopping us from proc'ing it just won't be needed to cap red/blue, but we'll prolly still want our temps knowing the kind of content Botulus Rex / Ig-alima were.... I honestly don't think they would ever be doable without temps maybe with 18/18 aegis pld on rex? maybe? doubtful still.
If they don't want us to have to spam temps (and I honestly would prefer not to need them) the entire fight.... make content that we don't actually NEED THE TEMPS TO WIN. I hate needing to rely on being immune to damage to win a fight, you'd never see that kinda crap back in Sea, Sky, <insert old endgame here>.
Then abyssea came out... and without temps people didn't know what to do, hell if nothings gonna change just give us some brews for voidwatch! Then we won't need to rely on our other temps. Right? Right???
I'd like to see some content that you don't just get RR spam and Temps thrown at you. I mean WoE is being updated to enter with 5 random temps and you already have auto-RR, I really don't like the zombie strategies.....they aren't really strategies it's more a winning failure.
Jobs: MNK99 PLD99 WHM99 BLM99
Basically, it's now going to be a few whms, and as many empy DDs as you can get hold of. Fill any spare slots with non-empy WARs/CORs/BRDs.
If you proc, great, it gives the WHMs a rest for a minute. If you don't, they'll just keep spamming cures.
At the end of the day, it's still just going to be a spreadsheet of how many times you manage to kill them before you actually get a drop that you want.
This. Looks like I'm going to have to level up and get an empy for WAR or MNK or be one baller WHM or BLM in order to get a spot in this 'final chapter.'
Hell, I was niche coming PUP/SAM or PUP/SCH. I didn't do much, but I covered procs. Now that I don't have that, I can expect to see absolutely none of the new drops from new Voidwatch. Oh wait. Drops in Voidwatch. I didn't see any before this new system.
I revoke my statement. This changes nothing.
Cool. I have 3 of the main desired jobs haha sam mnk cor empies this is great news to me lol.
Ah so they are releasing this for monday's VU ? No problem then, all the items in the test server dats suck. Back to nyzlulz guys.
