7.4 patch notes

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...0acd92c0568328

GNB saw some huge changes with them getting 6 Cartridges now and gnashing becoming a charged action with some potency nerfs in accordance.

They finally made DRK shade last longer cause you would lose out on disesteem if even one action gets delayed.

VPR sees it aoe stuff shifted cause it lost a good amount of damage on its generation and legacy combos.

They actually gave whm more utility now with pi reducing damage by 10 percent. This will most certainly be helpful for lower duties now where whm was really lacking in mit like ucob and uwu for the most part. To make sure ast didn't fall behind, they extended wheel of fortune to 10 seconds as well. Part of me wonders if its for the new savage or mainly helping with Q40 where the number of ast and whm clears were woefully low.

We have the usual potency buffs for glare 3 going up by 10 and sch and sge dots going up by 5. I thought we weren't actually going to get any buffs til 7.5 on this regard once gear started to become a factor

The big one is that WHM will now start with blood lily full for fights now.

I already had a thread posted from the other day:

They got rid of red mage melee during burst phase, class is legitimately ruined for me.

You still have to either initiate the Embolden double melee burst with regular range or have the 2nd melee combo in Embolden be close range. It's not completely free.

I am glad reaper dodged some bullets.

Good changes on the Gunbreaker - I had problems with overcapping on cartridges at times when Bloodfest's came off cooldown, and Bloodfest + Double Down are both on 60 seconds which makes spending it easier.
