Instant Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast for SAM!

[Adventica6]

Now when I join a group with an AST in it I won't be sad anymore, that's nice. Rdm's can actually rez people now, that's nice. That's pretty much the patch summed up, Ast/Rdm are being treated fairly for once.

Now for Nin, did you really think that change was going to impress anyone ? why disgrace the job like that when everyone else gets nice changes ? I'd rather a punch in the face than a 50 potency buff.

Sam: I don't play it but I remember the casting feeling really bad on a melee job, this should help make you feel less like a blm?

SEs thinking
“Hey sam and monk are already the top dps besides blm, lets buff them to hell even more!”
All SE “Ok! Please be excited for it”
Random SE visitor “Uh what about the worst dps job NIN??”
SE “Who cares, we are buffing the already strongest dps roles!”

All NINs, including me “........(obsenity) SE”

Nin buffs are garbage but Sam's aren't exactly any better. Hagakure is zero increase, the QoL is nice but doesn't solve issues. Drg and Mnk are extremely meta so expect locked PFs. The worst part is with how awful the balance patch is I can't even blame PFs being locked, it would be asinine to gimp yourself taking Nin/Sam now that SE has shown their cards.

Cool they just buffed all my tanks in pvp, going to do some crazy stuff on my warrior.

Not directly no but if you think about them not having movement restrictions, it sort of is a damage buff since they can now move in mechanics but keep at full dps skills.

Im happy for them though, it needed it , but not as bad as ninja needed, well everything LOL

On to run monk to 80 before next Tuesday now!

But ya for casual players youre right, SE is kinda messing up on what roles get priority and cant blame duties being locked away from those roles, nothing a good nin player can do vs a bad monk player, that monk will still be picked first.

Tsubame having a cast time was never a real issue at high level play, you could already slide cancel it pretty hard. Nin's buff is pretty insulting considering basic potency calculation could have told them that this wouldn't be close to solving any issues. A real shame.

Maybe they expected Ninja's attack speed rotations to be taken into account along with Trick Attack debuff? They should make Skill Speed a bit more of a priority for Ninja besides Dexterity to make up what they do in damage.

Ninja is supposed be fast lore-wise, and in general.

Maybe have their Ninki Gauge tied to letting their dagger abilities to able to attack twice (similar to Duality) that would take up small amounts of the Ninki Gauge, it would be alternative to their other two abilities that would take up most of it (like that Frog thing as one example), maybe have it take like 10 points with each dagger ability hit.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH SQUARE ENIX DEVELOPER TEAM ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

with all these instant-casts are you still going to call it a caster class? :^)

[cactuarzzzz]

Can I call it Instant Caster Class? I'm in a realy good mood right now! ^_^
Feel faster. I could just Tsubame immediately after Midare and follow with shinten/Kyuten before gcd came up while I'm moving around. It feel like 2 shinten after Midare but 1 of them hit harder!

Now the only thing left is to find a new bed and put it down on the flower field at Il Mheg and I'll feel like the happiest person in the first.
