Obligatory Waltz Fix Demand

[Cream_Soda]

SE should listen to Ninian, she is awesome.

[Dawnn]

Pretty much hit the nail on the head in this thread

[Amanie]

yes please do something SE. its my TP let me burn through it as fast as i want to.

[Starcade]

Its kinda sucky that u cant ever do a good set of cures if 1 person needs a waltz 5 because of the long recast and the rest of the pt must suffer because of it

Which is one of the reasons I basically, in that case, would rather Divine II than Waltz V, unless I know there's a good healer in the party.

Stupid question... What is the waltz potency cap? Wiki doesn't mention one, but I have noticed that +31% waltz potency in my healing set (Phurba, Roundel Earring, Sonia's Plectrum, Etoile Tiara, Dancer's Casaque) doesn't add what appears to be 31% potency. Is it 25%?

It's 30% including gear and atma.

[Myo]

Oh ok, 30% is an awkward number to cap out at... And a dumb one considering the gear and Atma potentially letting it go higher if it were allowed to... Isn't the Cure (spell) potency cap at 50%? They should at least boost Waltz cap to that. Make it a fair playing field. The shared waltz delay is a killer in abyssea alliances too. If it wasn't for that dancer would be an amazing main healer. As it stands, In groups larger then 4~8 on mobs that spam Area of Effect damaging abilities and spells, dancer falls short.

Yeah, it's weird... but it's definitely 30%. I would love for them to raise the cap to 50% in addition to fixing waltz timers somehow.

In other news, Atma of the Despot is a great waltz potency atma.... <_<;

I happen to agree with you guys that the cast time can be a bit frustrating. Moreso on the idea of sharing cast times with divine's is aggravating. Personally, I don't see where Curing Waltz IV and V are so annoying that you only use Curing Waltz III's. Especially in a solo aspect I don't bother curing myself depending on the things I fight until I get relatively low hp and then it's a once and done status. That's nice because then I can full cure (or near) and then go back to being the sick DD that I know how to be! hehe

I am certainly curious what they're going to decide to do with DNC on 99 merits.

[Glamdring]

Not a chance guys. In fact, I think dancer is gonna be the next job to get nerfed. My dancer is a tougher soloer than my beast and I am an EXCELLENT beast.

I should preface this by saying that I play FFXI way more than I should. For every hour most people have spent trying to do something, I've spent several hours actually doing it.

At the moment, I'm Temperance Torque from a perfect Waltz build (0/2 on Temp the last day I played, on vacation now), and main healing real DDs on DNC isn't viable with our current recasts. We need to reduce Waltz recast and JA delay. With my build I can hit the 30% potency cap without AF2 head (Phurba/OA2-4), so I have JA delay-2 on everything from Anwig, and it's not enough. Waltz IV and V need a significant recast reduction, and we need to reduce the Job Ability delay in general.
