Yoshida on Patch 3.2 Content - Famitsu Translation

[Katana190]

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

Was a bad design choice and their simple fixing it, we wont be as strong as a full str tank at the start of 3.2 but by the time we're max ilvl we'll definitely be more powerful then 3.2 full str. As a tank main since 2.0 this is a welcome change to me. Just have to shrug off we wont be doing as much dps as we use to for a few weeks.

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

Aye. Tank DPS (especially warrior) was a bit on the insane side, and it did need to be brought down a notch given how strong they were.

Paladins, though, needed to be brought up and not down. Here's to hoping Shield and Sword Oath are taken off the GCD (so they can actually stance swap reasonably) and that paladins get some AoE love.

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.

It seems the answer was given before^^

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.

I see your points.

I just hope the initial dip doesn't deter people. On a small server like Siren, tanks are not very common. Haha.

Congrats SE you completely missed the point why Wardens paen is so worthless... it's the cast time!.

Midas gear

Tank gear is nice.

Physical DD gear is nice.

BLM weapon is nice.

WHM is .... not very nice. Again

Couldn't agree more. That healer is going to hit their cleanse and finish cast before the bard does. The only time I ever see this being useful is to cleanse a paralyze/silence off the healer lol Just like how its currently only useful to Warriors who have Macros for 'serk.

Oh come on, floppy turtlenecks, torn up under-aprons, and wonky crooked forehead chains are the hot new trends for 2016. :P

Are there any adjustments planned for Warden's Paean?

Yoshida: Expect it to have the effect of Esuna. Not only will it be able to prevent future abnormal status effects, but it will also be able to erase currently inflicted debuffs. The cast and recast timers were also adjusted to match the effect.

*casts Warden's Paean to mitigate Bunched Panties debuff* <3
