Thread: Patch 5.1 Notes (Preliminary)

Scholar

Summon Seraph
Duration has been increased from 20 to 22 seconds.
Seraph must now wait 2 seconds after being summoned to begin executing actions.

hum... ok...

Embrace (Eos and Selene) / Seraphic Veil (Seraph)
These actions will no longer be executed when pet is set to Steady.

ok... why?

Consolation
Recast time has been increased from 20 to 30 seconds.

Hum... that needed a nerf?

My overall feedback on the changes:
Hum...what? why?

It is too bad when they were removing unreachable on some nodes they didn't remove set spawn times. One can dream.

I didn't even put it together until you spelled it out. So below ARR end gear to finihs HWs funny stuff. Why don't they just add a set like the earring we got and be done with it. These people are clearly not visiting crafters. Crafters would not lose any gil.

I think now i can cast "Akh Morn" and "Revelation" as SMN 3x before Gauge ends ( at this moment i can cast 2x, and 1-2 Secs left for the third one when it's fades away D: ) i like it :3.

NIN got many changes, MCH and DNC looks stronger and BRD got some buffs for their songs ( better than Before iml, it was only Critical Rate up now it's going to be different effects for each song :3 ).

WHM and SCH changes are meh, WHM deserves better and AST changes was huge, they was already in a good spot for healing, Combust become WAY stronger ( same DoT Potency than WHMs Dia ).

I'm glad that Tank buffs got 15 secs now, that's awesome. :3

As someone who began crafting a month ago, I am loving the changes to make it more streamlined. I know veteran crafters may be irritated by it, but as a newbie I am happy.

Come and get it.

So many changes... My head is about to explode, and I haven't finished reading it all.

I was hoping to see : "Yes/No confirmations removed for actions that can be quickly undone." No luck on that wish.

BLU will have no issues with target swapping now and their single target DPS is apparently higher overall now. AoE DPS went down a bit, though.

It's a small price to pay, but AoEs are still pretty damaging. At most it's roughly a 5-20 potency decrease across most of the AoE spells past the first target when comparing their damage to their original values. The big spells that got hit especially hard were the primal ones. Mountain Buster/Shock Strike take a 110 potency drop compared to the previous value while Glass Dance takes a 115 potency hit.
