Patch 2.16 Up! [Discuss]

And still, self repairs remain completely inconvenient... /sigh

Hmm... takes me about 30 seconds to repair all of my gear. Far less time than it would take for me to find a repair merchant and certainly a lot cheaper. Can't tell if that was a serious post or a joke.

The new AoE markers look good though. I'm guessing the AoE slowly 'fills' to match the cast time of the attack being used (judging by the inner rings) so that people have a better visual representation of when they're going to get hit by an attack. A definite plus, especially for all those Titan runs.

I really don't get how you can think spending 30 seconds navigating menus and changing Jobs to repair a single Jobs gear is convenient...

Self gear repairs shouldn't require changing Job at all. You should just be able to repair all your currently equipped gear, provided you have the necessary crafts/DM. That is much more convenient, you don't have to wait on cooldowns if you're in the field, you can repair in instances, and overall it would be faster than using the NPC. No idea how it's taking you so long to find a repair NPC, in a city they're seconds away, in the field they're near every aetheryte and township so seconds away again, if you're not near any of them, again, changing Job resets cooldowns, which is inconvenient. Then there is the fact that you have to navigate that gods awful menu to repair your gear. I want to repair my <Job>'s gear, as it is I have to go through all my gear (I have a lot) and select <Job>'s gear from those lists. At the very least they could add a Gear Sets option to the drop down menus...

These complaints have been around since beta, and I don't even think the developers have given a response on it yet... There is definitely room for some quality of life improvements when it comes to self repairs, that much is undeniable...

You would think so but this isn't the case, it just pulses a line through the aoe. Square give us the option of seeing the cast time in the aoe.
