DPS why don't you know your rotations?

[Averax]

Who needs rotations when SE makes content when you hardly need to be looking at the screen :^)

I feel like you stand in AoEs a lot.

This made me feel bad for Machinists, since after a week in, I'm not sure anyone knows that rotation.

Same. Before I was level-max MCH in HW. Many people talked me "You did horrible. Please learn it and read guide"
I back MNK....

The Samurai aoe skills still give me trouble, and I still end up overlapping Sen every once in a while. Some people just take longer to learn their rotations, I guess. No need to be rude to them or anything. I only do casual content and I always try my best. I say let people play the way they want unless its in Savage or somehting thats actually challenging content.

Came accross a BLM this week end on last story dungeon, he was simply doing Fire, Blizzard 3, Fire, Blizzard 3, occasionnaly poping an Enochian, but never thrown a single Fire IV for the whole dungeon.
At lvl 70 this should not be acceptable. And Stormblood may have change some classes, yes, but not to the point to not being able to know how Astral Fire/Umbral Ice works for a BLM....
Sadly, content is motsly tuned for this kind of players :/

[Ferrasper]

Isn't that a little bit of generalizing? Also, as a BLM we normally don't do our best when first time in a dungeon because we don't know the aoe lay out yet for bosses. It takes a few tries to get the dance down.

The expansion brought a whole new skill pallet and a whole new play style for some class especially BRD and MCH they have a whole new class to learn it's to early to be making generalized statements on rotation and the expansion is on week 2 -_-

My personal feelings is that there is a community of people that have skated by on being over-geared and/or having better DPS players pull them through DPS checks. However, in 4.0 (right now), being over-geared really isn't a thing. The onus leans even heavier on knowing what you are doing. That's causing disconnects during fights.

Week 2 of an expansion that drastically changed/removed/added abilities, thus changing rotations to some degree.

Just gonna echo this. In terms of my BRD opener/rotation, I lost so many offensive CDs and oGCDs and so many of my skills changed into something completely different that I have to really mess around with them to form a new, optimal opener/rotation. I'm still getting used to the changes SE made to BRD, and I'm sure others are in the same boat with their jobs.

And really, considering the effects of BRD songs when Troubadour'd, I think BRD rotations will still be more priority-based rather than a solid skill 1 > skill 2 > buff 1 > oGCD 1 > skill 3 > etc like so many other jobs.

Yes and no. You see either people expect others to do their job, the ones with parser(sorry had to bring it up) and find out the maximized opener. But in other hand, you did once tell people you found out on your own without a parser, so shouldn't be hard for the rest of us right? I mean I spent a few hours tweeking and seing what I could improve on DRG opener and I found out what's best for now. As in theory crafting, what's best stats etc now, I have no clue, since nobody been really doing it.

[Ferrasper]

Which took me about less than an hour to test out lol.

Test out and let your hands and head memorize while under pressure dodging aoess are two separate things.
