The unrewarding state of physical ranged

[ssunny2008]

The 15 minute trek from entrance to boss wears on you as you do it over and over.

Well a bunch of games handled it with portzones right in front of the boss as you´ve in alliance raids here.

The trash gets tiresome. The puzzles are solved, so doing them again brings no enjoyment.

Of course such puzzles won´t be something new once you´ve solved that. But it´s the same with any boss out there. You did it, you know what´s coming and in kind of FF14 it´s really static. Nevertheless... playing a full raid with 4-7 bosses and bosses where the first part is actually the way to him could be somehow more interesting than just porting directly into them.

But by all means, go put together a team of synced 50 non-Blus and do Binding Coil every week.

Let me know how much enjoyment you get out of those atmospheric romps after the tenth time.

I could, but i won´t. It´s definately not a good design there. Castrum and Delubrum are way more special and interesting in this way. Both just lack on more challenging aspects. Sadly i wasn´t able to play the 48 mode yet since the most seem to be feared or somehow uninterested to doing it.

There are discords for it. I'd look into those.

Nothing about that statement is honest, SB and SHB Bard are only alike in the core base rotation being the same.

this is exactly what i meant when i said they played the same as in "you play them and feel little difference besides TPMP management foes and straight shot buff" im aware of crit being changed for a flat percentage and actually never noticed it before until i reread my Dot description. I never ran into issues with Iron jaws and refulgent being conflicting tbh Apex arrow is a aoe skill first which is stupidly designed for single fights and itll be remembered as a questionable choice to have the aoe before a ST action i understand that well and it flows unnaturally with the whole kit due to the capp damage and GCD type deal. The role loss isnt unique to BRD, MCH also lost all there goods.

potency is irrelevant to me in the grand scheme of things tbh, if the job plays well thats all that matters potency is just nonsense due it being non-concrete unless its completely under powered or overpowered which BRD isnt. MCH and DNC are literally the reason why BRD is so low played and the community fooling themselves its the weakest job even weird complaints saying its too hard or too busy which is completely contrary to people wishing it was SB again. BRD lost a arm and a leg due to the role nerf i wont deny that but BRD isnt no where near a horrible state as other jobs just because its "obscenely low damage output" or because it not popular

I've played those games. I reckon I've probably played more of them than most people on these forums, and for longer.

ignore the obvious implications that have nothing to do with the topic but i dont think the best solution is to make them more boring, and i dont even recalling any instance of recent memory pulling off full on "puzzles" in the mix for people to be down on it so much when discussing substance in instances.

Just want to say that I love how bard plays in Shadowbringers. I have played bard since 1.x and love the current iteration from a gameplay flow.
