Thread: Patch 5.1 Notes (Preliminary)

Gubal and Mt. Gulg ain't as bad but Albania is the scaling on SB leveling gear is a much bigger curve to a point a drg can have more defenses than a ilv270 tank so i'd say the SB ones need to be relooked at and adjusted others ain't so bad. But i'm happy we got some level of mitigation regardless \o/ no more ironworks for Holminster

Depends on which gear they have. The i395 NQ GNB weapon has -11 WD, -30 STR and -31 Vit compared to the blue/green i390 weapons. The NQ chest piece has -108 Def, -27 STR and -30 Vit compared to the i390 blue/green chests. If they have weapons, chest or legs below the ilvl requirement, but have accs with ilvls to compensate, the difference will be even worse.

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.
