Highlights from interview:

BLM: Astral Fire/ Umbral Ice is now applied when the cast ends, instead of when the spell hits.

Tanks: Leveling the playing field between tanks when switching between stances. Upward adjustments to jobs that did not reach assumed numerical values. No nerfs to any tanks, not even Fell Cleave.

However,

――ちなみに、パッチ3.15時点で全アクセサリをSTRにした場合の攻撃力と、パッチ3.2以降に同じILでアクセサリをVITにした場合の攻撃力では、どちらのほうが強くなりますか？

By the way, comparing the offensive strength of equipping full STR accessories in Patch 3.15, with the offensive strength of equipping full VIT accessories of the same ILvl in Patch 3.2 and beyond; which will be stronger?

パッチ3.2ではタンクがコンテンツで占める与ダメージの割合を下げました。IL210装備をSTRアクセサリからすべてVITアクセサリに置き換えたしても、今と同じ与ダメージは出なくて、相対的にタンクが出せる頂点のダメージが減っています。

とはいえ、極端には下げてはいないですし、これからILはまた上がっていきますので強くなっていく感触は得られると思いますが、厳密に計算すると伸び代が抑えられています。ですので、あまり難しく考えずに主力パラメータは、全てVITにしちゃってください。

Yoshida: In Patch 3.2, the damage that Tanks can deal in duties will comparatively be decreased. Even if you switch from full i210 STR accessories to full VIT accessories, you will not be able to deal as much damage as you can now, the maximum of what Tanks are able to deal will be lowered.

Having said that, the decrease will not be extreme and ILvls will continue to rise, so I think you will still be able to feel like you are becoming stronger. We have reduced the need for complicated calculations. Therefore, you don't need to think too much about the stats, please focus on full VIT.

So, to sum it up regarding Tank dps,

There are no nerfs to skills BUT there is a blanket nerf on all tanks due to the change in damage stat from str to vit.

However, some skills are having their damage increased, though they did not state which skill and which class. I am assuming it's PLD though.

Bards: Warden's Paean will have the same effect as Esuna, on top of current effect.

No new type of scrip.

Stone, Sky, Sea will have corresponding battle content once that content is unlocked. This includes raids.



Midas gear


Eikonic Gear

[TheCurls]

That Tome Gear is actually Alexander gear, right? The Eikonic is the tome gear.

They said WAR Fell Cleave doesn't get nerf too (Correct me if I'm wrong)

All I can see is MCH lunchbox not changing, but the bards quiver still is. FML.

Anyone else think the Dragoon's Garuda gear looks bad and stupid? You give the cool serpent to Ninja and the crappy bird to Dragoon. Bummed.

Yes I know I can Glamour it. Yes I am likely going to Glamour it. Thanks for making it not match my Rhongomiant. Real cool, SE.

[Youkulm]

Why are Dragoons the only ones with exclusive primal gear when there are TONS of primals they could have used to at least separate tanks from monk and healers from caster DPS? WTF SE? I kept holding out hope this wasn't the case.

Don't get me wrong I love the gear, it looks great, but this just proves to me how lazy they're getting with content. Heavensward more content, I don't think so? I keep getting let down again and again. At least this patch looks like it has more to offer in general than 3.1 did.

Nin/Bard/MCH share Levi
AST/WHM/SCH/SMN/BLM Share Shiva
MNK/TANK share Ifrit
Goon gets Garuda

Dragoon is the only class that got special treatment.

Serously SE You could have used Ramuh on Caster or Healer, Titan could have been done tastefully as well. Moogle could have been Bard / MCH. Just so lazy.

@OP, Thanks for sharing!

I'm not even a tank and this feels like a slap in the face. So essentially they switched strength to vitality so tanks have to have more hp AND less DPS? So they are pretty much telling tanks that they can't DPS anymore because they weren't supposed to in the first place? ... Wow. o_o

Doing less DPS doesn't mean you can't DPS.

Doing less DPS doesn't mean you can't DPS.

This, and perhaps DPS needs to step up their game so Healers and Tanks can stop carrying them in casual faceroll content. I'm sick of running roulettes with pugs who do less DPS than my scholar and my husbands tank.
