3.2 Patch Notes

[Vurtney]

We're going to see more Mentors than actual sprouts seeking help. Also new pvp gear, yay \o/

[Daragon]

Since I have been working Gathering, not really thrilled with the increase in required scripts. The boost to 9 of 5 is nice, but not at almost double the original price. I would have expected an new tier to provide 9.

Red gatherer / crafter tokens still cost 50 scrips each, it's just now you can buy all 9 at once, rather than the old way of 5+1+1+1+1 that we do now.

[Raim]

They didn't address dungeon relevance by considering synergy between Flash and Scorn or their damage components (or lack there of). They didn't make Clemency any more practical realistically. Why not something creative like giving Goring Blade ticks a chance to make the next Clemency instant? The change to Veil was minuscule. They could have addressed Cover to help PLD become a viable off tank. They could have made Shield Swipe into an AoE that only pacifies the primary target to help address AoE woes. They could have changed Sheltron to include magic damage. The list goes on, but the extent of their creativity seems to lie in only minutely changing values. They are out of touch with the tanking community and the meta they created.

[FeliAiko]

Feel left out as SCH on all those job changes Though, we really didn't need any.

A change to Dissipation would've been nice, but otherwise I agree.

Wish

• Containment Bay Weapon was higher level, seems obsolete on release like Bismark

Bismark was obsolete because (a) Uncapped Tome weapon was higher ilvl and (b) Ravana weapon was also available on release, so you could go for that while using Law weapon as your holdover.

At i220, Sephirot weapon is only below Lore and Midian weapons which you won't be able to get right away. It will make a good entry level weapon for Savage, just like Ravana's did for Gordias.

I sincerely hope that the current item lists just do not contain all of the items because if not... the Dravanian set (i195) seems to be our re-palette Orthodox gear?! I mean I'm sure it isn't but... it's a depressing thought if it came to be. x.x

They look like dungeon drops, I never expect those to have a new look.

Precisely, uncapped Lore > Seph just as uncapped Law(upgraded) > Bismark

That said, you are correct, it may take a few weeks to get the Lore weapon. The reason that the law one is different is because law wasn't weekly capped and it was released well before Alex etc.

Seph I guess is only obsolete after week 3 or so

They look like dungeon drops, I never expect those to have a new look.

But some of the best glamours are dungeon drops! Bogatyr(sp?) Thighboots of Ranging, so sexy.

Not to be a negative nancy, but...AST changes are kinda underwhelming, tbh. Still no buffs to Noct Sect to make it synergize with our toolkit better? (Sure did nerf the crap out of it in PVP quick enough, lawl.) Still no skill to let us draw a guaranteed card once every 2-3 minutes or so to give ASTs some measure of control over raid events? Still no decent AST AOE besides lolGravity, which we can't even use at 51 sync or below? (Same with Malefic II, ugh.)

PLD changes also seem like a potency band-aid rather than addressing the more long-term identity crisis that the class seems to be having currently. But PLD mains are more qualified to speak their thoughts on that than I.

Suddenly my static smn gets even more nuts dps and I get infinite tp. GG

Cause Malefic II is almost akin to Stone III. On the flip-side on the Gravity issue, AST has a way easier time pre-50 dungeons like AV than a WHM does because of AH being available unlike Medica II. But alas unless you take Blizz2 as AST you don't really have good AoE until 52.

Guaranteed cards were never going to happen, and YoshiP mentioned the potency increases originally were to account for the card RNG.

One thing for sure on PLD changes is the TP should be less than an issue even as OT. Shield Oats was already cancer in the last raid and getting back 5% is progress.
