DNC Suggestions

[HyoMinPark]

I just put the job gauge above my hotbars near my character where I'm having to look for dodging aoes anyway.

My target bar is directly beneath my character, with the Feather gauge below that, followed by Enhancements for procs and then my crossbar. Everything is pretty central, but it’s still a lot of staring at hotbars and not the arena. BRD had the same issue sometimes, but at least Minuet made a sound when you got a PP proc. I’d just like a sound for max feathers, since we hold ~3 for burst windows anyways.

Dunno if it's just my bad luck but I'm lv 66 now and I always feel starved of feathers... I wish the regular 1-2 combo had, but a smaller, chance of granting a feather

Definitely agree with have Step as a oGCD since it feels kinda barebones when you get no procs and have no oGCD to weave. This is the only class in the game where I feel the full unbearable weight of the 2.5 GCD in the later levels since there are hardly anything else to weave in between attacks unless you get lucky with fan procs.

Also, the class should include some sort of haste buff as well to make the GCD more bearable. Other than that, it has potential but I believe it will get old fast since there isn't much room to grow and learn this class since the skill depth to play it well is so shallow

Did some testing.


1830- Physick 400 - ~4.6
2200- Clemency 1200 - ~1.8
2200 - Equillibrium 1200 - ~1.8
520 - Curing Waltz 200 - ~2.6
1630 - Vercure 350 - ~4.6

Curing waltz is indead a bit weaker than expected. It might need a buff down the line. The ~numbers are the Healing per potency
Vercure/Physick(sch) have about the same potency per healing because they both share Main and Mend Traits.

My guess why the DNC one is so much higher than the tank one is probably because DNC has more DEX than Tanks have STR.


With this potency data, this means that DNC's current Curing Waltz potency of 200 translates to ~110-115 potency worth of Healer potency.

DNC would need a base potency of 350 to reach the same amount as 200 healing potency as Casters/Healers.

[Tests were done using PoTD as a control to "sync" all of my classes gear and level]

Tested again with AST/PLD/DNC. All at level 70 using white weapons.

DNC- 671 (200) 3.355 120 Real Potency
PLD 3365 (1200) 2.8 600 Real Potency
AST 2250 (400) 5.625 400 Real Potency

I just realized a consistent sound I was hearing while playing dancer was my lalafell grunting every 2-3 attacks, and its the worst sound. I cannot unhear this, and its terrible. Is this better for other races?

My Viera goes "Raa!" every so often. This is primarily dependent on the voice you chose and happens with every job except mages. Pretty sure it's the same grunts/yells regardless of job. You should look up the Viera 7 voice combat noise on youtube, though. X3 It's disturbing.

Well, glad to see I wasnt crazy with my opinions. Like one poster said, DNC is the only class where I definately feel that 2.5 seconds, and its specifically on standard step.

Other question as I've played more. This next one is not tested, but it feels like all the proc chances are at least double on AOE skills. I went through 9 rotations on single target and got 1 total proc with 0 feathers. Did the same on AOE and I had full 4 feathers and proced fan dance 3 go off 3 times.

Anyone else see a large difference in proc rate for single vs aoe skills?

I haven't really noticed a difference, but that's one thing about RNG. You'd need a lot more than 9 rotations to really figure that one out, but it should average out the same on both.

My only other semi-issue is.. I had to turn down battle effects for myself because at full, I couldn't see markers on the ground for aoes from mobs. I loved the effects, but not seeing markers is BAD.
