    [SUGGESTION] Move the Dancer JA "Chocobo Jig" to level 49.

    I am a DNC main, less by choice than by the fact that, as my sig suggests, Chocobo Jig + Tandava Crackows have made pretty much every other job in the game totally intolerable.

    This would be a huge QoL benefit to everybody and /DNC is not strong enough in any meaningful situation to cause a balance issue except maybe in Nyzul, which to be honest could probably use it.

    So you play DNC just because it can walk around faster? lol

    I think it's more testimony to how everyone moves as slow as molasses in this game. Abj legs and ugly-ass shoes with an enchant don't count, btw.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line.

    DNC became my main because over and over, I was faced with tasks I could complete on DNC or on another job (relatively) equally well, and in that case having a constant +37% movement speed while out of combat was such a huge convenience and saved so much time that I always ended up ignoring my other jobs.

    The only people who'd laugh at the idea of playing a job primarily because it constantly moves nearly half-again as fast as almost every other job are people who haven't played jobs that actually do that.

    Completely ignoring the fact that my DNC & BRD are 90+, I will still laugh at movement speed being the incentive to play a job. I can't even fathom that kind of logic. Running around represents such a small fraction of this game nowadays.

    It is a much smaller fraction than it was a few years ago, granted. Now it's a "considerable amount" rather than "holy shit of COURSE I'll wait 10 minutes for that airship to show up. what do I look like, an idiot?".

    But this isn't about what I look for in a job to accomplish tasks that don't require specialized skillsets. This is about all the rest of you suckers, trudging around in slow motion, scared to death of Dusk Gloves.

    Movement speed matters. Pchan was actually dead-on when he said it was bar none the single most important gear stat in Abyssea, and yeah, I actually DO think this would be overpowered if /DNC were not really, really overshadowed in Abyssea other than Spectral Jig and Violent Flourish.

    What is this I don't even...



    I can't even debate this with you. You are clearly not rational.

    Non-combat +Movement speed is pretty much worthless. "Getting there faster" almost always translates to "Waiting on other people for longer". Any situation so unimportant or challenging that you're not waiting on other people, you might as well just be on DNC anyway, because your main job means absolutely nothing when you're hunting coffers.

    This wouldn't even be a benefit to everyone, because /DNC is a completely stupid option for a number of jobs. It would be a far better idea to just take the /sprint function from Ballista and add it to regular gameplay. Of course, then you'll be complaining that DNC main with tandava crackows, Chocobo Jig and /sprint has made every other job unplayable, so maybe you should just get the fuck over it.

    But this isn't about what I look for in a job to accomplish tasks that don't require specialized skillsets. This is about all the rest of you suckers, trudging around in slow motion, scared to death of Dusk Gloves.
    Haha, whats that? We're scared to death of Dusk Gloves? That coming from someone so terrified of normal movement speed (normal being 112%) that they main DNC solely for Chocobo Jig? That's so ridiculous that I almost looked over the fact that you just mentioned a piece of worthless, outdated gear.
