DNC Suggestions

[loreleidiangelo]

Another suggestion that I would like to add would be a noise effect when your Feathers reach cap. It’s seeming like it’s more prudent to hoard feathers for Fan Dance spamming during Devilment windows (for bigboi bursting on a single-target) or for AOE in dungeons (they’re really good for AOE), but to make sure you don’t overcap on them by spending one on a Fan Dance if necessary. BRD’s Pitch Perfect makes a sound when it reaches max stacks, so I’d like to see a sound like that for Feathers at max. Just to take my eyes off of my gauges a bit more.

Alternately, show on the actual hotkey how many procs we have built up - there's even a number there, it just forever stays stuck on "1" for some reason lol. I concur that looking at the job gauge constantly is a nuisance, especially given that DNCs will already be eyeballing their hotkeys a fair bit due to how many proc actions the job has in general.

That “1” there I think is just to show that it costs 1 gauge, I think. Kind of strange to add it there, since other things that cost 1 gauge (like SMN/SCH abilities) don’t have it, but I guess they want to differentiate it from FDIII, which is a proc with no gauge cost? Idk lol. But yeah, I agree that a noise indicator would be nice since my eyes are already darting between my crossbar and my feet to make sure I’m not standing in the bad like a lolDNC.

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.

as nice as that would be... we already have way too many ogcds lol

I wish we could set the gauges to hide when out of combat though.. This way I'd gladly put them in a very central place without having to worry about visual clutter out of combat.

Same for hotbars. Sometimes I think it's a good idea to use an oversized hotbar in a central position just to put abilities that proc there... But then, it clutters even more than the gauges when out of combat.

Fan dance 3 should override fan dance 1 + 2 when it procs. No need to make it have its own button and it would make those burst phases feel far more smooth.

Having been playing around in lv 80 extreme trials with DNC i have actually been grateful for the 2.5 gcd as the timing of standard and technical seemingly align well with it.

Stuff i have noted

- cds for dances start ticking the moment you press the button the 1st time, this means while your doing the moves and before you activate the dmg button it is counting down so in theory you should be waiting 25-27(ping dependency) secs for cd rather than 30s on standard step etc.

-Have once you used the dance for dmg, instantly have your gcd reset atm its really really tight to not clip

-FD3 seems to have a delay on registering(may just be me) so from what i've been doing for double weaving FD3 then FD1 or FD2 not the other way round

-Espirit can generate far more quickly in 8 man content than you can use Saber Dance, i feel this should be an ogcd with 1s recast because it hurt me seeing 100 espirit knowing i might be losing some

-En avant needs to work like aetherial manipulation, you are not registered at new position until you do another move meaning server tick delay :/

-Curing Waltz needs a bigger radius it is too small, potency is fine if get double heal, if not it loses a decent amount of usability

-Improvisation should give a flat number not a random number(from what i can tell) when i get Espirit going 42,47,53,58 i have no clue what is affecting this it baffling (more of a me ocd thing those are just awkward numbers to see)

- i feel we need an ability that guarantees a proc every 45s or so there has been times where i got 0 procs between florishes and that was so sad to see, equally you could get proc for days but i feel some sort of mitigation here would be beneficial

In re: Improv
It's based on how many people are within a certain distance of you. If people run away, your next tick will be lower.

In re: Procs
That's what Flourish is, though.
