Thread: Patch 6.4 Notes

My favorite part of the job change explanations is when SE openly acknowledged that Sage is just Scholar.

Alike as in visually? no, but gameplay yes they're alike.
Theirs some small differences, but nothing alike? nah both jobs are pretty functionally similar, Barrier Astro would be "nothing alike" current scholar.

To a bad player, sure.

PVP Dragoon buffs I laugh, buff drk next thanks, accelerate.

PvP bard's nerfs are huge. Reduced efficacy on both burst, range, and gameplay locks for flexible gameplay. The reduced cd from 3 seconds CC on single target to 2 seconds on silence is really bad since oGCDs and GCDs are also subjected to an animation lock, which means the actual bard burst damage before an enemy can respond is even lower than before as they can only fit 1 GCD within that window instead of 2. Now they have consistently play around the 15y range to avoid losing uptime, but they can easily lose damage because they have to stand exactly far enough from 15y or their main attack skill won't be far enough to reach its full potency (so instead of having like 10y of wiggle room, they have 2-3y at best, which can quickly turn into 0 the moment the enemy moves in). They can't stray too far from 15y either or they won't be able to hit their silence, which puts them at an easier target to reach because enemies who walk up towards them can cause Bard to lose significant amounts of damage without having a better safety net. Repelling shot's buffs doesn't make up for the nerfs in positioning lockdown.

PvP ninja's nerfed to the ground not because they were OP, even SE knew they were pretty much doing average now. They just got nerfed because due to how potentially impactful ninja's LB can be in a team setting in custom matches .... a.k.a the nerf was made for PvP's tournament setting. The justification behind the nerf doesn't apply to a majority of the players since they can't even queue up as a team in Crystalline Conflict queues. Ninja taking straight up Ls every patch adjustment.

PvE side they really went and mistook SGE for Scholar on the job adjustments page. L m a o.

I don’t see where in the patch notes it says about our resident critique/hater/trolls last day… I was looking specifically in the pandemonium section where it says it was specifically designed to displease this user so they leave but who am I kidding they will be back tomorrow and the next day.

On a serious note the buffs are all good except machinist of course we are just left to die slowly. They really need to look into tank mitigation and self sustain but then that’s maybe more a 7.0 thing then a patch thing because it needs to be lowered to give healers a beginning of purpose especially after that TOP clear.

Why did Warrior need that many damage buffs again?
