Patch Notes (Preliminary)

[Sebazy]

The AST changes displease me.

Quite the contrary, whilst I’d have liked to see a few more tweaks to make Noct more competitive again, the Lightspeed change is good stuff and fixes it’s lack of versatility or the need to click it off when you invariably do all your healing and want to get back to DPSing. To say it’ll be a huge boost for ASTs chasing DPS in dungeons will be an understatement.

Also note that You wont throw more malefics over a given period of time with these changes so it’s not going to change your MP sitation, rather it’s there to give AST some actual breathing space to get cards done between nukes rather than clipping and stalling their GCD endlessly.

Glamour plates can now be linked to gear sets.

The only real thing that matters in this patch other than the Namazu mount. Now if they could let us change glamour plates on the field and we'll be golden.

This exactly. Biggest complaint from ASTs I know is the constant CGD clipping.
