3.1 Balance/QoL Request Megathread

SMN
-change deathflare animation so it shoots out of your ass.

I had Taco Bell for lunch. Pretty sure I'm going to be deathflaring later tonight.

Well yeah the whole point of casting times for bards were because mages were jealous of our speed right? Yeah I'm looking at you director and/or producer who mains blm. I noticed alot of changes were made to boost blm while bringing other casters into the gutter. You want to stop bards from moving fine but 1.5 seconds is bs. Only anytime below 1 second is fair. The rest of the points were to make combat smoother. The enimity system in general is off balance imo. A good dragoon can steal aggro from a drk. Thankfully not too many good dragoons lol. I also agree with adding a system for bards to save up multiple bloodletter procs. Some of these animations are boring. For example riot blade is just a poke. I would rather it be a full sword thrust. I am currently working towards all DOW classes to 60 and i can only speak for those classes. I know about DOM, but i wont speak about them unless i get them to 60 which is unlikely.

"A lot of changes boosted Black Mage"

Yep. We traded King of AoE to king of Single Target Burst. Except Dragoons still burst pretty hard and maintain higher sustained single target DPS.

Oh, and Summoners are currently just as good if not better AoE while being on par single target DPS.

And basically every other class isn't !#@^ed over royally by ill timed ground AoE.

Yeah, black mages made out like kings, alright.

Oh look, this thread derailed into complaining about Black Mages and Bards. Who didn't see that coming?

Back on track, I'd appreciate our MCH fanny packs matching our guns a bit more and perhaps the capacity to make Gauss Barrell invisible, or perhaps just less bulky.

you wut, they nerfed Blm's pretty badly and summoner is a better option for most if not every alexander floor.
I just can't take you seriously complaining about your laughable 1.5s casting time when other classes has 2.5-4s casting time and are doing just fine.

[Odowla]

oh no my massively and stupid overpowered aoe got nerfed... qqqqq

I mean, come on, doing 1,000 potency a gcd every like 3 GCD's in an Aoe without any resources is fuckign insane, please guys, you know it needed to be nerfed. The only reason SMN is better on a2 is because of Vulnerability stacks and Bane interacting - really they're on the same level (except that enochian is retarded since it doesnt do shit aoe)

I don't think you understand what off GCD means

i think YOU dont understand. try doing ten>weaponskill>chi and youll get a rabbit

Assuming you mean fire2 x 2 into flare

It's 360 + 476 (or someodd): We'll round up to 840 AoE potency. If we assume no spell speed that's 10 seconds.

Transpose into Ice. If you're lucky you tick MP right away, if not you wait up to 3 seconds. Soon as MP ticks you cast Fire3. Too much spell speed means you tick once and can't fire2 into flare. Going straight into flare means you wait on transpose. You either time for two ticks of mp when entering fire stance or go through a few more GCDs going into Ice3 and then back into fire3.

So it's 10s for 840 potency
Transpose
3.5-6.5s for two mp ticks and fire3 back into Fire stance. (120 to one target, since you're fire3'ing form ice stance.
840 aoe potency over 13.5 - 16.5 seconds (reduced by spell speed.)

Yeah. that's totally 1000 potency every 3 'gcds'.

Mudras are Off GCD.

They just can't be weaved one by one between abilities because they have the caveat of auto-failing if anything comes between them.

Off GCD means it can be used between Weaponskills and Spells. These are the actions classified as 'Abilities', which mudras are.
