Thread: 5.08 Patch Notes up

I've looked up a NIN who did nearly those rDPS in a fight before the patch: 12.794,3. Now, most of the dmg comes from "attack" which didn't change. There are also other skills which doesn't change. So I only look at the total numbers of the now changed attacks: 5.446 DPS

5.446 out of 12.794 DPS

So yeah, the excel-numbers above are indeed very, very false.

Ya the Ninja potency buffs are, insanely weak imo. Only looking good on paper.

@452 vs a dummy pre patch I would hit 11.5k after 3 minutes.
After patch, same rotation, which I use all of that was buffed before and after, its same exact dps at the 3 minute mark. Maybe hundred difference. So ninja is pretty much still where it was.

Very disappointed with nin still, no where near enough to compete with a blm, or even a mch.
For all its purpose I dont see why even bother buffing it like this, because as provided, this does basically nothing.

Sorry, my math was false too. I will go over it again.

Edit: Here we go:



Looks better now but still not as high as the first numbers (an increase of 600 DPS in this case). So it should be now where SAM was before. But dunno. I think I got everything covered but maybe I still made a mistake somewhere. Guess we'll see actual numbers soon enough.

But this is not a buff either. By definition? Ya sure.

But 12.7k dps now doing 12.8k? If you call this a buff then idk what to say, this was a waste of time imo.

Making that full layout in the patch notes for ninja was more impressive then what ninja actually does post patch. Its kind of insulting to ninjas.

The buff to Ninja should be enough for people to stop locking it out of PFs.
This is not going to change that problem.

Ty for those charts pepsi. Pretty much confirms the overall feeling of being crapped on I had when testing it at servers up time.

Is low priority is more like it. Look how long it took in Stormblood for RM to see any change at all, every job had seen multiple changes before it finally got something.

Bard TBH they should never have touched for Shadowbringers, obviously they were trying to balance support with addition to DNC but now we are left with 2 somewhat weak support jobs (as much as i love DNC and loved Bard in the past)

Why bother at all then? Yes the expansion is still fairly new but still, we could have seen bigger changes by now
