Dragoon 6.2 Civil discussion thread

[Kolsykol]

This is my metric for whether or not the Rework was a success. It’s currently one of the lowest ability count DPS jobs yet I see everywhere people calling it one of the hardest jobs to play. That’s a big dub in my book. We should pat the devs on the back when they add a job with skill expression like EW monk and admonish dumbing things down like 6.1 SAM

Skill count doesn't tell the whole story, MNK is very well-designed atm.
I'd like something extra during downtime outside of burst phases but Optimal Drift and the way it interacts with the Beast Chakra is really well-designed and MNK is incredibly flexible.
Probably my biggest issue with MNK outside of the obvious like Anatman is that I rly don't like Chakras being tied to RNG.

I wish they took the player feedback seriously if anything.

Oh, and the Monk rework being "amazing" is debatable

How would you know this when you don't play MNK ( you haven't even started Pugilist )?

I mean, every rework will be '' debatable '' whether it's good or not.
Not everyone is going to like every rework.
But I think that from a mechanical viewpoint MNK is well-designed and functional.
When you understand how it plays then it flows together very nicely.

Plus with a change like this, they could move that potency into Dragonfire dive, for having such a long cooldown, it’s only got a potency of 300. From there you could upgrade it into a visual closer to the pvp lb

Making Jumps more powerful is definitely one of the things I wish for the most, I think Jumps feel too weak when they're meant to be the unique niche of DRG.
With MNK they made the concept of a '' combo master '' a bit more of a reality, with DRG I hope they push the Jumps as the big thing where the big damage really comes from.
