Thread: Patch 3.26 Discussion

I don't raid, so the only thing I noticed was that in PvP White Mage's Repose time was shortened from 15 seconds to 8 seconds!
Yet, Black Mage's sleep was only shortened from 15 to 12?

I can (kind of) understand shortening the time, but why is White Mage's shortened so much more?

they mentioned it in the forum, because of fluid aura- repose combo.

So just nerfs and buffs for pvp and raiding? How exciting. ~o~ Can't wait to do what I've always been doing.

I'm not sure why the turns/floors have to be in order of difficulty all of a sudden.

T4 has never seen a reappearance since the First Coil. We don't do trash runs anymore.
T7 was subjectively harder. Once you performed your mechanics well, it was easy. However, the bigger issue was often that one mistake = massive deaths and a snowball effect. However, I still remember groups having just as much difficulty with T8. It's just that T8 had more opportunity for recovery after a death.
T10 being harder than T11 is kinda... lul. Not even sure I agree, considering they were both about on the same level. Heck, I feel like people had more difficulty with Tethers than they did with Heat Lightning/Charges.

And as another poster poitned out, SE wants to -avoid- what happened with A3S. So, that's specifically the one they are trying to address.

The only real nerf I find helpful are the blaster changes. Everything else seemed highly unnecessary, but totally fine I guess. I'm not gonna complain. We were already almost done getting consistent with brawler anyway so I guess swindler will be even easier

Wow, if that's true, this patch is hilarious

Dunno how to feel about A6S since that was the one my team was almost done progressing on. On one hand, it'll be way easier now, and we'll probably get it done this week... on the other I wish we would've been informed about the nerfs actually happening before they did (I know there was talks of it from Yoshi, but nothing concrete until this sudden bomb happened). This is so weird...
