Battle System for Bloodstorm

[ADVSS]

yeah the drk pbp skills give it a nice punch for life tapping and survivability, most definitely

on second thought about PLD they do have DV I guess they could just out it on the GCD and make it use mp, would love to see a reduction to the cost of Clemency as well

So no one is going to say the obvious? At all?

Stormblood

I know I kow, I messed that one up^^

I know I know, I messed that one up^^

I'm sorry I had to, the opportunity was perfect, XD

But onto the battle system stuff. I have to ask, I notice most people talking about abilities like Feint, Keen Flurry, Haymaker, and there is another Monk skill too I believe, One Ilm Punch, the "Esuna" one? But anyway, people are also talking about Fracture, which I get, kinda; it's a combo breaker, right? But what about the other skills that are similar to it, Mutilate, Phlebotomize, Touch of Death, and Scourge, Possibly Lead Shot from Machinist, because they have a pseudo combo system, but maybe not. Anyway, what makes Fracture worse then those 4 skill in regards to combo breaking?

they could, pull a goring blade with all of the dot moves, having them be a finisher and not a breaker. I always try to use them as openers though, but im a terrible dps

Well monk seems special since its use of forms makes it so that touch of death and fracture don't break its combo.

I'm guessing the issue with WAR is that breaking a combo means delaying the 5 stacks to need to use your special moves. If fracture added a stack of wrath then I think it'd be better.

Dragoons Plebotomize lasts for its entire rotation, dropping off just in time to put it up again ( at least in the level 50 rotation, I dunno about level 60.)

I do'nt know the other classes well enough to understand how they hurt the rotation.

[Tam_Hawkins]

im still hung up on the fact that you called it bloodstorm

Yeah dunno, since it was announced i always think that Stormblood sounds weird and Bloodstorm would make more sense so I probably wrotte it wrong subconciously^^

No biggie, I do the same if I have the opportunity^^

I do not know enough about most of these classes to make proper assumptions, but I assume that every skill that is not used that often or in some way seems detrimental will be reworked.
One Ilme Punch for example will probably get a rework (don't think they will remove it).
I'm not sure how exactly they will go with the moves that lose viability during endgame as everything gets resistance like sleep and feints slow effect, but I would assume that they will change them to a degree.

What? I just call it Bonestorm.

[Rennies]

I call it periodic rain.

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

I call it Shitstorm because that's probably what it's going to be.
