More complex rotations with Heavensward

[Slirith]

Im more worried as of how will I set my keys :v

Brb, gonna go buy a 10+ button mouse for all of these extra abilities...well, either that or grow another arm

Yea with my xbox controller that I use for my pc there is only so many buttons you can set. They must want us to constantly change pages or something which is kind of annoying to do.

I use xbox controller as well. I have LT and RT combinations setup as well so I have access to 32 actions without manually switching pages. The only time I currently switch pages is for LB or rarely used actions.

I casually played all jobs and learned their rotations. My preference is the less complex classes because I can pay more attention to the fight rather than my position, procs, and rotation. My favorite jobs are PLD and BRD, but looks like it will be only BRD now with expansion unless one of new jobs don't have a complex rotation.

My cross bars are nearly full as is on some jobs. I don't think adding a bunch of new abilities without pruning any was very smart, personally =/.

In the live letter it showed Yoshida needing to change pages on his hotbar to effectively play his Black Mage. I'm not really happy about that at all. 32 bindings should be more than enough for any job. Requiring more than that is just too much, unless they change the UI so that stances automatically switch your action bars for you.

How ever will new players learn these new rotations!? Remember the days back in 2.0 where everyone already knew the rotations before they even played the game, it's not like PLAYING the class allows you to learn it or whatever.
*rolls eyes*

But due to many players cannot even grasp the pretty simple rotations we have already. How wil they manage when the rotations have more complexity with the ability descriptions in the live letter?

It is kinda worrying for DF and for potential future, harder content.

Doing the rotations the "right" way isn't required for those "players who cannot grasp the simple rotations". The bar on all content except coil/alexander is low enough to allow jobs to 1-2-3 and still get through.

It makes sense that you have to know your job to do harder content.

Also, DF content isn't going to be necessarily harder than it is now, when it was just released. Everything will get easier over time anyway.

You will have the 1,2,3 or 1 button dpsers in dungeons no matter how complex the rotation is. Dungeon runs will just be slow when you get one of these people just how it is now.

Ya im not thrilled about adding a bunch of extra skills that most people in duty finder won't actually use lol. I'd rather see the difficulty come from boss mechanics and not trying to manage 30 skills at the same time

This isn't starcraft lol do we really need 300 APM to play? Make the dungeons harder not the rotations :P

Worst case scenario: They gimp all the content to compensate for the lack of general public's ability to execute an effective rotation. UGH!!!

No new Egis for the "SOMMUNER" class? >->;
I hoped for Shiva, Ramuh, Leviathan and/or Bahamoth
(So many Aeons, Eidolons, etc all other FF games has to summon and we have just 3! :C)

Thats a shame and big BOO!

Maybe just release the job Onion Knight and give it all stats of 999 where you are able to solo everything in the game easily, have access to every move, and can wear all types of gear in the game? But make it that when you play on Onion Knight you cannot join any parties or do DF. That should solve most problems :3
