Thread: Full Notes Patch 6.3

with how stance buffs work probably still works the same
just if you want that buff off right away you push it

I don't know why they nerf MNK's Riddle of Earth into 2 mins cooldown that only gives 10s damage reduction and self regen?

Old 3 stacks RoE was way better than this...

Yeah i knew it from the start, pvp ninja was too good, and it would just slowly get nerfed until it tips over into the trash. They need to fully rework it, not keep nerfing it

This change is probably for level syncing content like dungeons and fates. It’s so annoying it gets turned off when you level sync. The way it is going to be now makes it so raids will be the only time you need to turn it off if you are the OT. I think it’s a great change.

Old RoE is a penalizing ability, which many players - myself included grow sick of. The old RoF would reduce the amount mitigated once you start using weaponskills, which is absolutely horrendous, especially in fights where damage is coming out consistently like Barb EX. You really did not need the three stacks, especially when taking this penalty into account.

What this does is gives MNKs even more sustainability than they already had before. RoW+Bloodbath could already be used for essentially what was a pretty powerful regen effect, and now they have two, plus a consistent 20% mitigation.

To me about the tank stances is that they might be thinking about bringing stance dancing back as Atonement if you look at the job guide has a thing stating that it can only be used while under Iron Will. I'm so glad you can use Curing Waltz and Shield Samba while doing your steps. Also glad Bard in PVP won't be missing out on the damage increase from their LB.

It just makes for smoother weaving. Disabling a buff effect normally has a slight delay attached. It's one of the reasons why the old Defiance/Deliverance swaps were so smooth, because you never disabled a buff on WAR, you only activated them. If this addresses what I think it does, it's a QoL change. Hopefully they had the sense to make the two effects share a button, though.
