Thread: 7.0 DNC is awful compared to EW

Well, well, well, DNC is no longer a brain-dead job at level 100. Now DNC is probably top in terms of PHY Range mastery.

I personally love the changes they did and I feel DNC is a lot more fluid now and makes a lot more sense, especially in burst phases. You no longer only do base combo or saber dance to weave in feathers, you have other stuff as well. It feels much better and more rewarding overall.

It still is a braindead job, even more so now lol

For the record, I've finally gotten my DNC to 100 not too long ago. It's... not horrible to a degree like any of the healers for sure. But I missed having to anticipate more fan dance I/II popping within their burst windows. Reopeners were rarely the same every 2 minutes in those days, and I think that was fine. I don't need all jobs to be consistent, otherwise why make different jobs?

I'd love to see Fan Dance IV being proc-able outside Flourish. Maybe give the proc chance to Last Dance? or Saber Dance? lol.

Another pet peeve that I have with the job is Finishing Move. Why do they make me 'dance' LESS vs prior yo lv95? I liked that tiny mini-game :/ What do we get in 8.0 I wonder - technical step without dances? What an incorrigible joke lmao.

EW DNC was surprisingly complex when you really looked into opti and they killed it

What do you mean? Its even more brain dead now. Instead of having to pool resources for burst and think about where you're slotting in procs and reacting to new feathers those procs grant you, it's just dump everything and hit set buttons and if you think that's more fluid you're crazy. EW DNC was about reacting and planning around the resources you had going into burst and it was great.

DNC feels beyond clunky now with the fact that you can't even hit a combo before burst or it'll expire because there are so many set GCD's and there's a 0.5 second gap between tech coming off CD and the GCD so you have to hold and it feels awful.

If you think this is phys mastery I don't know what to tell you tbh

Same, been enjoying it a lot in Savage tbh. Coming off healing EW, this is a nice change.

We had an instant refresh in EW with Tilana but that was only in tech. Tbh idm FM because we need an instant refresh especially in savage and ultimates. DSR and TOP feel awful without Tilana refresh now

I just don't understand. If you guys wanted a set burst mch was right there. Reacting to RNG is what made DNC unique and now there is no RNG in burst and ss must be used exactly on cooldown there's no freedom anymore

All we got was a Fan Dance IV buff? Which only factors in every minute. When since launch people have been giving feedback on how bad Tilana overcapping us feels.

Yeah SE just don't listen. Combos also need to be 5 seconds longer tbh as well as the Tillana fix
