Thread: 6.1 Patch Notes

So prior to 6.0 whm MP econony during 2 minutes was:
5~ GCD saved through Thin Air (minimally saves 2000 mp) & 4 Lilies (1600 mp) and 1 blood lily (400 mp) for a total of 4000 mp.

Now in 6.1 it's:
2 GCD saved through Thin Air (minimally 800 mp) 6 lilies (2400 mp) and 2 blood lilies (800 mp) for a total of 4000mp.

It seems like WHM mp economy is back to what it was.

ShB AST maybe but definitely not SB again. As much as I want it back, they will give us AoE buffing again aside from Divination.

WHM finally healing without a loss. That's a good change but I'm surprised they didn't add a second Assize charge or revert Thin Air.

AST and SCH not getting meaningful changes is....not shocking. They've been done dirty for ages now.

SGE change is great.

SAM and MCH found in a ditch dying.

The WHM changes are something. There's still a lot to address but credit where it's due, they're finally on the right track.

Something worth noting is this now leaves SCH exposed as the only healer that pays heal tax.

Samurai and Ninja also likely depending on how unhappy the jpn forum is.

You and me both. I wouldn't even mind if I drew a spire and it still did tp, because I could at least use it for royal road.

If there was one thing I'd like to bring back with it though, its macrocosmos. I'd happily leave behind everything from shb and ew except that because it fits both thematically and mechanically well with what Ast is supposed to be. Space and time healing and damage dealing

I'm also confused...all of these changes are just really simple numbers changes. Why did we have to wait until 6.1 instead of 6.08 to get what amounts to a slight tuning? Where are the massive new spells or bringing back of old spells that were pruned that resulted in this being pushed into 6.1? Congrats square you changed lots of numbers that were previously 400 to either 300 or 200.

Sigh square is legit thinking for the "future" of ffxiv, so pruning is a good thing now

I wouldnt put it pass them if they put the lilies spells over medica l and cure ll when u gain a lily this would be a huge QoL change which allows future expansions to give more spells and abilities in 7.0 /8.0/9.0 and so forth

So to me i feel babywalker...ehm i mean endwalker is the expansion for we as the community to help knock down button bloat and help the devs forwards in their job feedback and actually think about the "future" of ffxiv as a whole and instead of trying to keep everything now and preventing improvements overall for the future

So us as a community need to direct square with feedback which aims for the future, and not whine and complain about every change, instead we need to come up with "smart" feedback to allow them to make changes overall

For example button bloat is a massive thing for games....even in warcraft (btw played ffxiv for 8 years and wow for 10 years from classic) most of the spells in warcraft was BLOAT

Reality is we as the player base need to look at our skills and let square know what the job actually needs and dont need to prepare for future expansions .....cause lets be honest we dont want ARR and Heavenswards all over again..

if we kept all those buttons back then with now...ohhh boy talk about like 50-60 buttons per job (this aint fun btw and would scare of all the casual players off resulting the game dying due to lack of player base)

So time to make feedback with actually proper reasoning , with a hint of maths, and the vision of the jobs for the future
