Thread: Dancer suggestion change in 5.1

I've never truly enjoyed rng aspects of any job except BLM and likely only because for BLM it's not the main mechanic of the job.

I'd enjoy reducing the rng aspect of the job as much as possible without reducing the joba potencies or DPS. We're already at the bottom of the red icons, we don't need to be lower just for some QoL.

I'm actually fine with how Saber Dance is and honestly think that making it oGCD wouldn't be as simple as people make it seem to be. Our 76 trait and 80 capstone are both tied to Saber Dance and making it oGCD would remove that relationship, prompting a new trait and new primary effect effect of our capstone.

As we are, I think our DPS could be tweaked in favor of higher numbers though I think giving more control over our resources would do this without touching our damage potencies. I do, however, feel like Curing Waltz is far too weak for how long of a CD it has. All of its potential requires a dance partner and proper stacking and even then you won't heal even 10% of anyone's MHP after all that effort. It could stand to be used more frequently for how weak it is or heal more.

To be fair, our capstone also needs to be looked at, because as it stands, is useless most of the time, because the optimal moments to cast Improvisation - the ones that nothing is happening and boss is un-targetable - are extremely rare... And if you use it in any other moment, you'd be doing more dps by doing your rotation than using the esprit gained with it (if the party stacks, that is). The only marginal use I actually have for Improv atm is to boost the healing after a big aoe if I see healers struggling.

And yeah, Curing Waltz def. needs a buff, both in potency and in range.
