Will People still use the classes within the prime fights?

[darkstarpoet1]

it's going to depend on what the jobs and classes are like after the patch to be honest. the competative type ls's are going to use whatever combination that clears content the fastest. it will be just like the stacking of thm's in ifrit or stacking archers in moogle. whatever clears content the fastest with the smallest amount of issues is what people are going to do.

i, for one, can care less about playing in a job only party. i'm going with whatever combination that helps me complete content. if it's all jobs i'll go that route, if it's combinations of jobs and parties that's fine, but if it's all classes i'm fine with that as well.

You think it will?

LOL probably not

It's possible. We'll have to wait for jobs to see how beneficial they are without sentinel in the primal fights. I could see parties going in there with PLD, WHMs, a BLM, a BRD and some people on classes as a very real possibility.

God it would be nice if it did...
And honestly.. it would make a lot of sense to me if BLM had higher elemental resistences

true... like you said without actually playing it so we can't say 100% but PLD just seems like a sure bet....
even solo I wouldn't go GLD

I don't want people to think thats a complaint on my part though... I don't mind going all PLD and no more GLA.... the AF looks sweet

i would use blm for ifrit just for convert, doing in on thm was tough due to MP conservation....

thm was quite fine before with mp. all you did was got to red and stop until you went back down and by the time you did that you were close to full. with bard in game with his mp refresh it will be even easier in mp management category.

i spent close to half my time in the fights standing around. it wasn't because of low mp it was because of being in constant state of red on the hate bar.

I can verify this... Ifrit HATES Darkstar

i'd hate someone that hit me harder and more often than the rest of the party as well.

With a really good tank, it is possible to have MP issues on Ifrit. But like you said, I had to be over 35+ DPS to start having real MP problems.

Magic accuracy also plays a big role since a lot of MP is wasted if some spells get resisted and they do not generate as much hate.

The only logical situation I could see for me is SE wants to be dumb (again) this patch and make ridiculous AoE damage on bosses so ARC will still be useful over some melee jobs.
