Grit/Blood Weapon Shenanigans

[Arkenne]

Nah this is a matter of not wanting DRK to recover MP too quickly...
Have you ever used Blood Weapon and Blood Price together while you are the target of a FATE boss for example?
The recovery rate is so ridiculous you can literaly spam DAed SEs without much of a loss.

The Blood Weapon inhability is to discourage its use while MTing, so while you MT your go-to recover MP would be Blood Price and while OT it would be Blood Weapon.

You didn't understand the point of the thread. It's about having Blood Weapon CANCEL Grit. You can already use Blood Weapon while MTing if you manage to tank out of Grit, this change would only permit to just have to hit one button (Blood Weapon) instead of two (Grit cancelling + Blood Weapon on the next GCD).

and with solely reading till this point I can see you jumping on conclusions.
Im merely stating what I think was the idea behind making Grit and Blood Weapon work as they are. I am NOT talking in FAVOR or AGAINST the thread OR refering to the thread point at all.

If I have to answer anything about the topic in fact is that I do agree it is clunky and feels totally weird and I would like for Blood Weapon to work in the way that is being suggested.

Really... no need for flaming :/

I didn't intend to flame you. I might have misunderstood you, but even when reading your post again I keep reading that you thought OP asked for Blood Weapon to be usable alongside Grit. Which isn't the case.

Nah I was actually intended to answer a post from Cabalabob which I SHOULD have quoted, but didn't for reasons unknown to me :/
Again, I also believe that the way to activate Blood Weapon by deactivating Grit is quite troublesome. But on the dev point of view, I think they intended for us to be on Tank stance when MTing and they didn't want for DRK to have "too many ways to recover MP in a boss fight". Hence how it works.

Meh, thats just me repeating the same things.

TL;DR: Im with the OP, just saying what I believe was the Dev's point of making it how it is.

Yes, please!

Also, I would like healing to auto-cancel Cleric Stance while I'm at it.

I cannot count the number of times a tank died because I mashed the button to turn off CS, it didn't register, and all of a sudden I'm wondering why I can't outheal the damage the tank was taking.

Is this post sarcastic?

Most healers ahve probably experienced this exact thing happening. Same with tanks... in the process of turning off/on the stance in a hurry the spam doens't register right or counts as you hitting it twice and you end up in the wrong stance. I HATE the stances in FFXIV. Stances for warrior and monk in WoW are done far better.
