Dragoon buffs and Ninja nerfs coming Dec 9th in patch 2.45

Precisely, I didn't do it to show that hey look I do this much DPS everytime, some people just wanted to see a DRG do 520, and with all the above circumstances, its possible with decent RNG, 1 out of 3 runs typically.

He does speak the truth though. I have also parsed in the past on a dummy at 520+, granted no record of it since it was back before 2.4 came out and I was still i115 ;-; it is possible with rng blessing you xD even then, its still pretty easy to parse high on a striking dummy since there's no mechanics. Though I think that goes for anyone really

inc. "SHOW ME PROOF RAWR DRG CAN'T DO THAT" T_T

^ This.

Berry, you are clearly playing drg wrong if you believe drg doesn't have high tp consumption.

Nerfing ninjutsu feels like the wrong way to go about it. Partly because you just do one raiton a minute(+ a kassatsu raiton here and there) and you aren't using suiton for it's big magic damage so it's not much of a nerf, though I guess I shouldn't be complaining that much since I like nin. But also because the nerf targets what makes ninja unique. It'd be like if drg was, purely hypothetically, too strong my first reaction wouldn't be to make jumps weaker. I'd go after the early parts of their combo moves and try to keep full thrust and jumps satisfying.

Feels weird nerfing doton and katon too. It's not like nin aoe is monk bad where you're holding 4 mans back or anything, but it's certainly not good.

lolwut? i only speak from what little experience i have. but i have never once needed to use Invigorate as a DRG, aside from using AoE's. as a NIN i usually need to use about either half way or 3 quarters of the way through a boss encounter. as a MNK... well they eat through TP like candy. DRG doesn't have high TP consumption.

I bet you don't keep up your HT and/or use your DoTs lol
You would not be saying what you said if you did.

i keep everything going. don't have issue with TP.

I have trouble believing you've done a fight that lasts longer than a couple minutes on DRG, so you don't have the experience to know what you're talking about.

Note that it would also need to be a long fight with no disconnects. Things like the primals usually have a DRG-invigorate worth of downtime.

Yep, the main issue with DRG is not the damage itself, but maintaining it. Missing a heavy thrust or impulse drive can be detrimental.

Well, we got 2 days left!!

Can't say I'm disappointed at the nerf. Any more potency drops would put the job far too low on the charts. Can say I was hoping for a decrease in Huton to 60s.
Can say I hope they're doing just a little more than "Heavy thrust's buff applies regardless of position". 15% damage for 15 seconds outside the highest damage dealing rotation feels pretty bad man. Especially compared to a 10% + 27% (however the figure their percentages) built into the rotations and a never-ending 20% to physical damage buff.
