Thread: Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

And here I was struggling to decide whether to take SMN or SCH to Eureka. Guess I know now.

But, for shit's sake. Eureka's been delayed (as in, actually pushed back) 3 times now. Not for any 4.1 patches after being announced for it, and now we have to wait another month into 4.2 for our BiS weapon grind.

Also, Hildibrand pushed back. Dang it.

But, truely, why did SMN need a nerf? If SMN was too powerful, then where are the RDM changes? SMN already lost most of it's utility to RDM, yet RDM is still more potent. And poor BLM. These buffs aren't going to solve much in level 70 content!

SE is not gonna nerf RDM or SAM because it needs to be ones on top in order to appeal players who like to do a lot of damage and so it means you need to buy the expansion to play these jobs.
Do not expect a nerf for these jobs before some new jobs coming in the new expansion, it's business ^^

how do you function? RDM is weak as hell. and SAM is pure DPS with no utility yet summoner beats it outright. xD

How is RDM more potent than SMN, even after nerfs?

And what utility did they lose to RDM again?

I feel like the glamour dresser is just a place for us to store all our level 1, vanity only gear, at this point. It does make the process of applying vanities much easier, at least.

I actually laughed aloud at the MSQ roulette changes.

Truly dead content.

- Never touching MSQ Roulette ever again.

- All of my level 1 glamours are going in the glamour dresser. This is going to free up so much needed space.

- Using my chocobo storage for crafting, and gathering exclusively.

- I love the changes to apartments, and I love the new servants. I need that Xaela girl dressed in purple. Hopefully in the future we’ll get room extensions. I want to have a bathroom, bedroom, airship worshop, kitchen, and outdoor garden/patio. I also want the maximum number of servants.

- When are the 2.0 ponies going to be able to fly/swim?

Excuse me, but have you looked at the data at all? Red Mage, more potent than Summoner?

Red Mage ties Bard for weakest dps. Summoner ties (and indeed, rdps included, surpasses) Samurai for strongest. The problem is Summoner has been destroying the other two casters by invalidating both. Some could argue that instead of nerfing Summoner they should have buffed Red and Black Mage, but no, Red Mage couldn't touch Summoner's damage or party contribution with a ten foot pole.

On phone, can't edit, but seriously go look at FFLogs data on the recent raid tier before spouting nonsense like this. At current, summoner beats samurai, and red mage is among the weakest jobs. Both facts disprove your premise, and the query in which your premise was built.

As a DRK main, all i have to say is... I no longer have any faith in their job design/balance team. The bias they show is astoundingly over the top and i am sick of my job being treated like it simply does not exist.

Boycotting tanking until they get off their asses and actually do something about the job that desperately needs help instead of making unnecessary changes to their god job.

Edit: And now to see if the mods here are nazis...
