DPS problem...SOLUTION!

[Kret]

Maat. brought to us in FFXI


Job specific 1v1 fight that makes you use your job correctly to defeat him. People learn their jobs, win.

Forget it! not a dps fix. A horrible player fix. cant get past maat? sorry bro. git gud

Also needs to be mandatory for all jobs. unlike ffxi

Healer maat = npc you have to keep alive against maat for a certain amount of time
Tank. = keep maats hate while you also have to pop cooldowns at proper times to avoid certain death
DPS= beat the tar out of him. not enough dps.. not a win.

edit: you cant do final dungeons/raids until defeated. no over gearing.

They nerfed steps of faith so people didn't have to learn how to play the game. So the chances of them doing this is unlikely. Sorry bro, the carebears are taking over and nerfing our game into the ground. It's sad to see honestly. I really enjoyed 2.0 but was really disappointed in 2.55 when the devs started swinging the nerfbat like a 12 year old at a pinata convention. I was hoping 3.0 was going to kind of reset things but nope, they still swinging the hell outta that nerfbat. I have a feeling I'm just going to start transitioning to playing other games with my time. FFXIV is starting to become pointless and boring with no real challenges in sight except alex savage IF you can put up with a static.

They haven't nerfed anything in 3.0. Half the population can't beat EX Bis, much less Ravana. Hell, a good number of the population can't even pass A1 and A4 (normal).

Every week theres a new hotfix that makes something easier. Last week was Alexander drop rate, this week it's red scrips. We are barely even a month into the game, and they making adjustments to everything. Alexander normal itself is a nerf, it's there so people don't have to pull up their big boy britches and do the hard one.

Increasing the number of drops =/= making content easier.

Alex Normal isn't a nerf... it's specifically for people who just want to play for the story. They gave us Alex Savage for those looking for challenge. If we didn't have Savage and only got normal, THEN you could claim it was a nerf.

Ridiculous, irrational hyperbole is just that.

steps of faith wasn't a dps check it was a mechanic check. You actually had enough dps and only needed to land all the dragon killers.

There are about five threads like this on the first page.

And no, they aren't going to implement an idea that causes 75% of players to unsubscribe in their first month. You want to play with the best, make a group of the best. Be as exclusive as you want. When you join duty finder, you are agreeing to play with the greater player base.

They nerfed steps of faith so people didn't have to learn how to play the game.

They nerfed story content that was mandatory for people who want to play the $30 expansion.
Shouldn't you be complaining about the nerfs to coil? You know, the actual difficult content made for serious players? Steps of faith had nothing to do with learning your class or being good at your in-game role. It was a one-and-done story fight with artillery mechanics that had no significance on being a good player.

Okay, unless you are raiding, there isnt much of a DPS check in this game. Is there really a need to rush here to the forums bitching about every lil thing? There have been countless topics bitching about every role lately. I'm fairly certain we dont need 10 more today do we?

If people do have a problem with a player not correctly playing the job, then POLITELY offer advice. I say politely because 99% of the advice I've seen given is just some rude remark to a new player who is just trying to enjoy the game.

Me - "Excuse me, I noticed you are casting fire 1 and blizzard 4 alot and not using fire 4, did you kno-"

Mage - "I know what I'm doing, not every mage spam fire 4 for damage, blizzard 4 does the same damage"

Me - "But you are not doing enough damage and that's whats causing the wipes, I'm trying to help you"

Mage - "Stop telling me what to do, I know what I'm doing, worry about yourself"

From then, that's when the nice goes away and I end up telling them to shove it and learn to play their class and /kick them out of the group. There are people that just WON'T improve their dps/gameplay for the group thinking they can be carried. A WoW mortally from LFR.

I look at the endgame BLM rotation and paaaaniiic!! I'd have really welcomed that kind of advice, not offensive at all. I'd really love a tool for personal parsing and progressional rotation that helps me memorize said rotation pre-50, where I can slot in new skills as I go (and practice in low level dungeons/dummy) I'll never do endgame content cos I just don't have good hand/eye co-ordination, but I really enjoy learning rotations and when/how to use them correctly Working on BLM and MNK at the moment, so much fun
