Years pass, and we keep coming back to caster balance disaster. 4.0, 4.4, 5.0, 5.2, 5.5, 6.0, 6.2... I'm really getting tired of them incrementally fixing the disaster that's the balance of this role to nuke it every few patches.

No picto will have less adps than BLM, and probably also less rDPS (as he have defensive tools)

BLM's Flare Star looks like it could potentially be kind of an messy to use, as you need to use 6 Fire IVs and with a 3s cast you need to Swift/Triplecast it... I also kind of wonder why Flare Star is an AoE because it's never going to be usable in an AoE situation as you'd need to cast 6 Flares in a row to use it as an AoE spell... Unless you're using Fire IV to single target trash mobs...

And if you want to use Thunder, you need to let Astral Fire drop to become unaspected in order to gain a new Thunderhead to recast Thunder.

Balance has done the maths on PCT’s potencies and it exceeds BLM before you consider starry muse raid buff and before you consider PCT is also better at putting stuff inside raid buffs

So PCT does like 3% more aDPS, like 10% more rDPS and has better utility

PCT either needs to be nerfed or BLM buffed

What the post is saying is that maintenance is "scheduled" to complete at 0200 hours Pacific daylight time.

So much new stuff on NIN. I hope most are replacement actions and not completely new ones, else I'm going to have to completely re-do my bars and keybinds, then relearn the job.

Also, an attempt at a Ninjitsu cheat sheet for new Ninjas.

Code:

---

Action        TEN        CHI        JIN

Fuma        1        1        1        (500 ranged)
Katon        TEN        1        1        (350 fire AOE), Changes to Goka Mekkyaku (600 fire AOE) under Kassatsu 
Raiton        1        CHI        1        (740 ranged) grants Raiju Ready
Hyoton        1        1        JIN        (150 Ice), Changes to Hyoshu Ranryu (1300 Ice) under Kassatcu
Huton        TEN        2        2        (240 fire AOE)  Grants Shadow Walker
Doton        2        CHI        2        (80 ground DOT 18s)
Suiton        2        2        JIN        (580 water) Grants Shadow Walker

You have to hit one or two of the numbered buttons, followed by the named one and then Ninjitsu.

I am glad my UI set up is a trainwreck, maybe this will encourage me to finally customize it a little bit more.

I think you have the times flip-flopped because the expansion maintenances have always ended at 11 PM HST for me.

It looks like a lot but in practice the only "new" button they have to hit that doesn't automatically fit into their burst rotation is the TCJ follow-up.

Ah I can see how that graphic would confuse it, that is a time zone guide for the poster who was confused about PDT - to simply illustrate as in 0200 PDT would be 0300 MTN or 0400 CST.
