Thread: 3.3 Patch Notes(Pre)

This has happened to me many, many times over the course of various PF'd duties, and I don't even use the PF all *that* much.

Yeah, people will just have to be more careful from now on, but it's still kind of a silly change that wasn't necessary in the first place (assuming there actually is anything different after 3.3 compared to the system beforehand and the screenshot isn't just lying to us)

This "feature" has been around for over a year now (I can't remember which patch added it, but I think it was 2.3). If you can't check your job or gear before queueing, well, tough. Its all on you for screwing up.

Well actually, having a job which have for concept to copy both whm and sch skills sucks. They will hardly manage to balance it without Killing the two other's gameplay. Personally, i dont want to see the ast with the same dps/shield potency as the sch has. This would give no point in playin it anymore. Instead, they better give a unique gameplay to the Ast( next to the cards)

except Sch would still have two advantages over Ast even if their shields were the same, Sch has much better mp restoration, and fairy utility is really hard to overcome.

Except AST already has two advantages, raid wide DPS increase at no or lesser MP cost (if they dps as well as cards) and a choice between a full heal and a shield at less MP cost with no cool downs needed. I think, with the way off healers interact sch and ast shielding are about the same, with ast having better sustained AoE healing (although not much needs more than succor, et succor, succor, indom) but obviously scholar destroys ast while healing in cleric stance.

I think we should start seeing Acc focused WHM, who become the off heals in an ast whm comp or more frequently baton passing the cleric stance role.

Things like Bloodbath and Vengeance just scream Dark Knight IMO, Storm's Path and Inner Beast too, and Raw Intuition just makes no sense to me... Dark Knight historically had a sacrifice HP for damage skill, and while that makes no sense for a tank (though I'd trade Marauder cross-class skills for Lancer and Blood for Blood, though that was more when Dark Knight had serious TP issues), Raw Intuition adds a risk (albeit one removed by Awareness IIRC) for 100% Parry, which Dark Knight would love for Low Blows/Reprisal...

yeah i wholeheartedly agree i believe sometime in 2.x im like "DRK not gonna happen, WAR already is DRK" due to the lifetaps and such

So does Astrologian if you use Lightspeed.

Except... no one really cares about Esoterics anymore.

Mhm...now that would depend on whether they help with the relic or not, wouldn't you say?
