Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

[EllieShadeflare]

it would have been enough to just take addle from the ww trigger-list leaving Ruin lll as it is. That would have been resulted in a slight burst nerf while we actually could use addle in its intended function as a def-utility. Would had been way easier than this pot-adjustments... but well we will see how this will work out.



out of the live letter summary.... this statement can't be for real... our dots doesn't have any kind of advantage compared to other cls. not anymore. we lost our 3rd dot, the remaining ones got pot adjustments several times, bane got a drop-off effect, we can't extend their duration anymore cause of the con adjust and shadow flare got a salty long cd which made it way less flexible. how can that still be called "one of the main aspects" of this cls... even if f.e. Brds have two dots as well with an even easier way for 100% uptime or Sam who has a 1 minute dot which can be buffed by themselves as well? so u wanna give us back M2 and take off the dropdown from bane again?... but in the current situation this is just flat & laughable to point on our dots... #lameexplaination #facepalm

Sorry but this argument is pure bullshit and absolutely doesn't fit any kind of their actions to this cls since the early HW when all the buff burst, nerf dots BS started : /

Continously damage over time doesn't just mean DoTs, it's also referring to the Pet, easy access to standard attack spells that hit rather decently without being slower than the GCD, and powerful oGCDs, which is on top of their 100 potency total of actual dots. This SHOULD lead to AT LEAST 200-300 potency per 3s. (Ruin III, pets and then the dots proper).!!!!!

well, i think their plan work, atleast they make me go back to ply pld, so 1 more tank for their roulette, but i will never queu for that damn MSQ roulette unless they let me o skip the cutscene

The pet is a glorified dot tho

Technically direct damage spells are just high damage, high maintenance DoTs

Anyone who is worried about not getting accepted to groups. I will form a new static for all the non-meta outcasts. Right now recruiting DRK's, SAMs, BLMs. I have 4 dps spots, two tanks spots, and two healer spots. Whatever you don't fill, I will.

add in the rdps of the jobs and it changes, also no offense but it's just the first week I expect it to change as ppl hone in strats and all, yes BLM has good personal dmg but once you factor raid contributions it's not so high anymore, true that it makes in the end not so important or as wide of a delta in my eyes but itì's still there if you wish to min max

[Kabooa]

The forced melee downtime doesn't help either, but it'd be nice if encounters didn't have to specifically be tailored to a struggling class to make them seem better relatively.

Edit: Also, Phantom Train's heavy aoe transition, and somehow a monk still takes the top spot.

:P

[RainDurell]

What forced melee downtime? The only mechanic that actually forces you to go back is head on, everything else can be played around (role actions, baiting the lights and ghosts into melee), keep in mind that BLM also suffers from dealing with these mechanics.

BLM has the best personal dps, and they have no unique utility because of it. I don't see the issue.
