The biggest issue I see is that Gluttony, one of your big oGCD attacks, WILL drift and throw off your rotation in the burst window. There's nothing you can do to stop the drift either, the ability will drift and throw things out of your rotation.

Yeah it does. Reaper is not in a good place. I'd rather they just made some changes so you are bursting more often. A lot of little bursts. With a big finisher at the end of your bursty mode.

I think drifting would be less of an issue if Soul Slice/Scythe was on a 15s CD and Gluttony on a 30s CD. But that's probably a bit much.

I don't think the Reaper problems will go away until 7.0 so it's probably just gonna stay the same until then.

It really just falls back on the 2 minute meta being bad for a lot of jobs in general. Feels bad.

Gluttony drift can easily be fixed with one simple change, making it a 55s cooldown. At that point drift is nonexistent, it'll always be up when your burst is ready.

The bulk of Reaper damage is in Enshroud windows. Outside of that Gibbet/Gallows/Bloodstalk.

With the changes I assume the plan is for Reaper to be stuck in drifting dbl Enshroud windows with a 1k pot PH and 2 1.1k pot Communios.

Im wondering if they just made Soulsow generate gauge similar to Meditate for SAM would be a good means to alleviate downtime issues.

I saw that! It surprised me that S.E. devoted the time and resources to do it. I see it as a good thing because it shows they still care about FFXIV. Now, I just need to find out where the gear drops and what this Ogre Tactics thing is.

I feel he has done this very thing when he realized he wasn't being taken seriously on topics he actually cared about. I won't point out who I think the poster is but I think most of the frequent poster club has a suspicion whom it may be.

Because, people don't change the way they talk and will invariably use the same wording and phrases no matter what mask they hide behind.

Since when do grey players even get into savage? Are you looking at some random wipe where they died 30 seconds in?

If this were true how does one explain this?

Reaper looks pretty fine and meta to me this tier.

Nice to see you attacking your better and projecting your deficiencies onto me. You're free to prove me wrong instead of impotently baby raging at any time, troll

That being said, if the results over the next week or two are also consistent with that result, then it will mean that all melee jobs are within a 100 rdps range of each other. The same appears to be true for tanks.

If so, good on them, and they should focus their attention to casters and ranged to bring them parity. A level playing field is to everyone's advantage, and keeps comps varied and interesting.

I was gonna say. The weeks of data between 6.2 and the 2 days of data for 6.28 tell very different stories. I'd wait at least 2 weeks before jumping to conclusions.

Imagine bragging about clearing UCOB and UWU (and not doing well on either)nout of their expansions while also still not clearing Heph2 compared to someone that's clearly better. Also I have yet to state an opinion on the matter of balance, only facts. So much projection, it's really sad

I'm trying to picture firemage and all I can see is this.

Ic, thanks for explaining. So the amount of parses shown in that link is incorrect? Don't think one day of loggings will reach those numbers.

Its not that its not accurate, it's just that you're comparing a sample of only 6435 RPR parses vs 38040 RPR parses. Time will tell though as more parses come in.

Charge time is 60s in combat which isn't much at all. It sucks if they get focused and spent a lot of time dead, but a decent WHM with a halfway decent team can really put out some damage.

This made me laugh harder than it should have xD

How's PVP going in everyone else's DC.
<Crystal here.., and after Blasting into Day 1-Series 4.., .., let's just say.., I'm in limbo. No other players in Gold1 {3Stars} so I'm hard locked, can't go into a match and lose my huge streak, so I can have something to do. can't queue cause no other golds around that tier, or plats. I'm stuck.>

I haven't queued at all this season for ranked. I'm just not interested honestly, especially with no new rewards and we're still in the middle of series 2 so I don't need anything from that. I like the pvp, but not enough to really deal with ranked with nothing else to really work towards since unless you're good enough to reach top 100 crystal ranked is whatever.

I enjoy how PvP plays, but being unable to queue with friends and forced to play with 4 random duds kills any enjoyment I could have with it. So I stopped playing it entirely outside of Malmstones, it's not worth getting gray hairs over losing because I got matched with idiots that don't know what Recuperate does, or don't stand on the point, or go in alone because they think a 1v5 is a good idea.

I'd only play casual matches for PvP. Suffering for worthless picture frames among cheaters and wintraders with a limited communication system sounds like a miserable experience.

After 3 top 100s, I'm done with PvP. Only the grindiest achievements left and no new rewards is a nope. Should have probably stopped already after S1, but t100 got so easy you could do it in a less than a week at either start or end of season and I'm not even good compared to the actual top tier people. Light top 100 in S3 was like 300 points in Crystal lmao.

Ok but more importantly, who has the better fashion of them. You cant judge a redmage without looking at the fashion.

Quote:

We've made several adjustments to address DPS balance within the healer role. To ensure all sages felt the benefits of these changes, regardless of playstyle, we chose to increase the potency of Phlegma III. Because its unique recast timer does not hinder the use of other actions, we believe this change will result in improved DPS.

---

So, I'm happy they gave a reasoning and buffed Sage's Phlegma, but since they mentioned several adjustments to the DPS balance within the healer role instead of just one, where are the other adjustments? I only see Phlegma III in the 6.28 Patch notes. Did they forget to include the rest of the healer role adjustments?
