What classes want The Arrow buff?

I like both Arrow and Balance equally. As far as I am concerned, there's no downside for SAM to have either of those two.

Can confirm

As a bard, I'm rather indifferent towards Arrows. They're nice, but if there's a BLM in the party, I'd rather they have it, as they can benefit more from it.

Now, if it's Spears you want to feed me, then I will love you forever. *happy noises at Pitch Perfect and Bloodletter procs*

There is a negative for samurai. It throws off hagakure timings. Which is a big deal if they always hagakure at 3 sen.

As a NIN I would like to refute that statement. If given at the start of the battle it does help with the TA hold opener, if used elsewhere it's just really satisfying to throw out attacks after attacks. Then again that's probably just me so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Give it to Monk, because SE wouldn't give us GL IV QQ

Monk will probably make the best use of an Arrow when Riddle of Fire is up if the RNG happens to work in such a way.

For Arrow I'd suggest classes that use SS(and auto-attacks) to increase their gauge.

SAM, NIN, and RDM.

BLM because they're constantly casting.
MCH during their Wildfire.


Probably the least useful on DRG seeing as we already clip out CT enough and we're capped and the advancement of our gauge is usually tied to CDs.

The Arrow is less detrimental than it used to be before the advent of goad on all the melee and tactician being free, but it can still mess with off-gcds and clipping on certain jobs. tl;dr, just give it to your BLM and hope for a balance or spear on your next draw.

I love it on RDM, it reduces the time between melee combos pretty heavily.
