<Dev> FIX MCH's ROBOT!!!!!!

[Dyvid]

Hopefully that got their attentions. So from the action trailer it took the robot 6 whole second from when it was summoned to when it first hit the target. The is very very long time. Is there a way to spawn him closer to the target or have a placement marker? Also speeding up the animation will help.

I'd like to see a bit more reactiveness, too, but I'd rather not lose the dramatic entry, either, so long as the duration doesn't start ticking down until he truly starts combat...

It's not slowing down your personal rotation. I don't see the problem here.

Every sec the robot isn't causing damage is a dps loss. Even Demi Bahamut will cast Wyrmwave while doing his Summon animation.

Robot no longer has dramatic entrance.
Robot duration has been reduced to 18 seconds.

But what if they've already calculated that into how much damage it does overall?

[Anvaire]

isn't this a bit premature? Lets wait until we actually have it to play with to see whether the delay is normal or if it is just because they were showcasing.

Animation vs first Strike

Just trying to get ahead of the curve while they are still adjusting things. Most likely it's something they didn't consider yet. The animation is cool and if they adjust the damage of the initial strike to account for the 6s it's not attacking, four or five hits by my count, then that would work too. DRK also seems to have a long intro vs dps start. It's just better to get it fixed before launch then after.

Footnote: The video shows him double punch at the 11s mark and does roughly four to five attacks to the 5s mark. Maybe it's attack every 1.5s like Demi-Bahamut?

And you know they haven't done this already?

Seriously, we only know the robot exists and you are already complaining about damage loss? At least wait until 29th, damn...

well the 1.5s is pure theory u have to time that yourself and I bet most of the smn don't get 11-12 wvs everytime they use Bahamut... just saying.. : /
