Thread: Frontlines in 6.4

Now that we have to full patch notes to go over, let's review what we can expect:

Frontline Specific Changes

WAR & DRK = -10% Damage Dealt
SCH = +10% Damage Dealt
Tank/Melee = +10% Damage Taken
BRD/MCH/BLM/SMN/All Heals = +5% Damage Taken
DNC/RDM = -5% Damage Taken
DRG/SAM/DNC/WHM = +15s to charge LB
BRD = -15s to charge LB

All Stuns, Heavys, Binds, Silence, Sleep, and Deep freeze = -25% duration
Limp = Now simply dismounts and prevents remounting for 5s
Invuln from Base now also protects you from being crowd controlled

Seal Rock = -100 points to win
Onsal = -200 points to win
Shatter = +400 points to win, Capture points removed, Lots of ice changes

Job Specific Adjustments:
A lot of these seems super minor and not worth going into too much detail with.
MNK - Pressure Point buff -33%
DRG - Wyrmwind Thrust +100% at close range (Top end remains unchanged), Heaven's Thrust +20% damage, High Jump -20% damage, Limit Break -11~% Damage at farthest area affected (central impact unchanged)
NIN - +15s to charge LB
SAM - Chiten +1s ( Most terrifying change in the notes )
BRD - Silence -1s duration, range reduced, damage removed; Apex Arrow +33% damage
MCH - Bioblaster +100% damage w/ Analysis; Chainsaw overhauled (8000p line attack - Analysis +50% damage, +50% damage if dealt on a target under 50% HP)

Gonna need a RPR main to explain what happened there.

PLD/SGE/RDM(some MNK/BRD) - changes so minor, I'm not even going to bring them up.

If you're just wanting the TL;DR on: Who is going to be stronger/weaker?

All except DNC/RDM will be easier to kill this patch.
All crowd controls will be slightly shorter.
WAR/DRK Nerf
MCH gets some AOE
Strong LB's longer to charge, Bard's LB shorter to charge - meaning more charge time for everyone with bards in party.

The amount of Purify's that will be pressed and then server snapshotted to being 'too late' to have actually removed said effect and be granted the 5s of crowd control immunity = +100%

I cannot stress enough - If you were not a fan of the FL Meta Pre-6.4, nothing is changing. DRK/DRG Pull and Drop will still wipe full groups.
