Do you think that Picto needs a nerf?

[Supersnow845]

Alright, I see we're not getting anywhere. Let's use some real data then:

This is a top PCT log in FRU:


This is a top PCT log in M3S:


Take a look at these charts and take a look how much damage is coming from RGB filler vs motifs like hammer combo. Now, what do you think will happen if we nerf PCT filler and buff its motifs? Do you think it will get stronger or weaker in FRU? Do you think it will get stronger or weaker in a full uptime fight like M3S?

Stop thinking about "gaining filler". You're not gaining filler, you're losing less filler from downtime. Which is useful, yes, and it does mean that you do get more damage from filler casts than if motifs needed a target. But it doesn't matter because PCT's motif damage is SO HIGH anyway!

Ignore the effects of painting during downtime and just think about what PCT is actually doing during an ultimate fight. It's casting some filler, and it's casting some burst. It casts more filler in uptime, it casts less filler in ult.




None of NIN, MNK, or DRG burst as hard as PCT does. Why do you think the DNCs in FRU are partnering PCT?

Again I don’t know how to tell you that casting more filler in uptime savage compared to downtime ultimate is literally a useless distinction in regards to the comparison of why buffing filler helps PCT in downtime

Because PCT gains filler relative to other classes because it offsets its burst into downtime. Read that again it gains filler RELATIVE to other classes, if you wanna consider that as “losing less to downtime” that’s fine but it’s still gaining relative to other classes

When you gain relative to another class Buffing what you gain makes it stronger

The logs posted are a useless point of comparison because the comparison of why PCT benefits from filler being buffed is not between FRU and M3 it’s between FRU and FRU with different PCT. Losing more filler in downtime is a meaningless statement when every class loses MORE in downtime
