"Just use True North problem solved"

[Gemina]

It definitely needs the CD reduced. Probably to 90 secs to be honest. TN for me is a substitute ogcd to weave, so I would prefer not use it at all.

[Crushnight]

i'd like TN to be reduced to 60 secs for a reason different to most i'd like to see more bosses force weird positions more often to try and make a fight more dynamic imagine if omega during FIRE EVERYTHING! to spin around with mt till lasers or a boss that periodically could flip it's hitbox around while doing tankbusters such a change to boss designs where the boss is held a specific way would require TN to have smaller cd or melees have to get buffs to compansate and adjusting 1 ability is easier than that

This is mostly a rant, but I hate how people always tell melees "JUST USE TRUE NORTH YA DINGUS" as if it's the answer to every positional problem.

Yeah True North is amazing for allow positional procs where we are forced into situations where we cannot get our positionals, which happens a lot! Everyone seems to think it's on a 15 second CD and it's always available, and if not use it whenever melee ask for an adjustment.

Folks don't realize 1) 150 sec CD 2) Melees plan out specific spots when to use TN during the fight. Being such a long CD we have limited uses of it during the fight.

To be clear, I'm upset at True North, I'm just upset that tanks/mages always yell at melee to use True North for every mechanic, as if we weren't using it already to optimized our positional procs.

Who doesn't love these tanks? For many tanks you would need TN without any cooldown or get rid of positionals completly.

I agree with others about reduce True North’s cooldown.
That’s why we need to plan ahead which part of the fight we should use the skill.

[Grimoire-M]

To be honest, I don't feel reducing True North will help as much as making positionals easier to land in the first place for the classes that have it the worst, which is mostly MNK with DRG being second. NIN & SAM both have ample time between each positional and and can adapt their rotation to compensate for a fight.

That said, reducing it to 2 minutes would align it with every other TA at least, which I think would be fine. Shooting for anything below 90s would make me question why anyone would decide on that instead of asking why their class has positionals at all in the first place.

And it is fixed in 4.5

[KageTokage]

90 seconds is indeed short enough to avoid all of the moments in Omega savage where you might be forced to ignore positionals (Pantokrator in OS11 and Hello World in OS12 are the main ones that come to mind).
