I would have been surprised if much more would have happend

Well, patch notes are Out.

AST got barely enough changes to fix the most egregious issues with it atm.

SGE didn't get double DoTs back from the media Tour.

Dev1: "Why isn't anyone playing Astrologian?"
AST main1: "please you need to fix this mess you caused! Please give us back our rng!"
Dev2: "must be underpowered"
AST main2: "no! AST needs to be fun again. Can you at least give us new dmg buttons that are unbound?"
Dev1: "lol go play ultimate. Anyways, here is a second charge of light speed, a buff to macrocosmos, and 5 seconds off of your astral and umbral card recasts. Have fun!"
AST main1: "..."
AST DNC main2: "You know what, I give up. I'm playing dancer from now on."

I am curious to hear from Sage players, who aren't striking, whether Eukrasian Dyskrasia is even used often. I would assume trash shouldn't live that long for it to be better than Dyskrasia spam; and at the same time, if the tank is doing a wall-to-wall pull, I'd expect you'd have time to dot all trash with Eukrasian Dosis while running? Is it just a niche spell, worthy of using a GCD on it?

I’m only level 95 on Sage so far but it lasts so long I usually just do Eukrasian Dyskrasia once when mobs are gathered together then completely forget the spell exists lol. At least we have the super fun super interesting Psyche to use instead…once every 60 seconds…as an oGCD lol. You don’t even get to see the cool animation because it gets interrupted by the ugly pool noodles rain from Dyskrasia lol, and that weird pelvic thrust we do whenever we cast it

I dunno about DNC. DNC is my main ranged, and the DT changes feel absolutely miserable too. Everyone else is getting cool things, and our upgrades are "Drift your Standard Step more" and "Saberer Dance". No thanks.

The content we have now is if you know how to play healer not even massively a challenge. Like I casually did both ex trials as whm and by using 10 % of brain power you can map out almost the entire fights with heal cds if nothing goes wrong. Like I didn’t even tried and I got a 97 on logs as Whm for both fights. Why does the healer role need the fails of your group so you can really have enjoyment in your role, the moment you get a good tank player you effectively become also almost jobless in expert dungeon. Also take the ex 1 fight as example if you don’t get thunder after nails you never have a healer tool shortage for the rest of the fight (healer are so packed with ogcd tolls it’s hard not dying from a body check then from straight dmg in ex1.

Is this solved by bosses simply doing more damage? Genuinely curious

that's true. I wanted to choose another job but thought to go with DNC choice I've seen ex-healer mains go with. BRD and SMN would probably also be another thing for me to write there instead.

Old static asked me if I'm renewing my sub for normal raids. I asked them to link me the patch notes where healers got significantly changed. They couldn't, guess I'll continue playing other games.

Life's good. C:

Even your old static probably know the pugs scene for green role is a garbage dumpster fire to deal with lmao XD

[OdinelStarrei]

Arcadion's 4th fight is very funny. Moving some vuln stacks to heavy dots on failure, like those orbs from Zeromus is a positive treatment.

Really appreciate the last 20% being "If you don't use your kit or you are under 7 people, please die right now." just from pure damage. She shouldn't have taken breaks, it just should've been constant.

Unfortunately for the healers that got stuck with me, WAR and Living Dead saved the day once again. I'll queue these fights later on tonight, there could be some entertaining schadenfreude for awhile. Such a shame we're gonna outgear this, the way it is now is almost right for normal content.
