Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLI discussion

SMN AOE is absolutely insane atm, I ran Skalla with a friend the other day and they were spiking 18k DPS on trash, at i310 lol

As for PLD, it also makes sense. You shouldn't be able to do more DPS than a DRK and be so close to WAR considering you have a much easier rotation, crazy strong cooldowns and the best utility set of all tanks.

But less time wasted in a dungeon is a good thing lol I'm just bias becuase SMN is my main....

PLD will return to the box it was in during 3.0, DRK will probably get little improvement like higher potency to DA combos which still lacks what the class is actually for lol

Everyone switching their PLD in 3 2 1...

I will change to drk myself.

So... rip Samurai. I shouldn't be surprised they are making the exact same mistake they did with Monk in Heavensward. At this point, Samurai is basically useless.

Which plots are FC only?

The way I read it, all of them (including existing wards).

But if you want to relocate an existing personal house, you'll be able to do that even to the new areas.

Excited for the new trials and dungeons, yet incredibly disappointed that they couldn't figure out how to tie glamours to individual jobs in time. Blah!

Ayy, SE finally acknowledged that DRK exists.

Hopefully the changes do them good.

I like the changes to BLM; shorter recast on aetherial manipulation means I can move more often in things like Raba (especially fighting Rofocale).

I'm only a little bummed about SMN's nerfs, but not much since I really only plan on using it for trials and 8-man raids. I'm much more comfortable running lv.70 dungeons with my RDM anyway. I'm really excited for the FFVI bosses in Sigmascape, and hearing that bit of Dancing Mad in the trailers got me so pumped! Just need to find a good raid static now...

Glad the Death Claw is available through achievement points, too! I was worried it might end up tied into Rival Wings, and I'm not terribly interested in PVP yet. Jade Stoa looks pretty awesome, and I'm also pretty psyched about fighting Byakko. Wonder what his weapons will look like, and how strong they'll be.

On another note, weekly lockout for the minigame is dumb.

Yes SE will always annoy any side with their housing situation but honestly right now it should be better to have more people owning houses than some people being angry that they will lose some houses. Either way I am more sad that they choose to put private housing on hold..and seeing how they did not even say when it will be back..I honestly hope that this is not the end for personal housing..if you take away the chance to own a personal house at least try to give us instanced housing..this way right now will just mean that its rare to get something other than a small personal house.

And I agree about the mini game. Why restrict something like that? Are they afraid that people would earn too much MGP in a short amount of time? Is it not that interesting of a system so they fear that people will stop doing it after a short time if it has no restriction?

WOO! Finally something to spend my achievement points on!
