Thread: Patch 7.1 Notes: PvP

SE rarely discusses why they change or do things. They just announce what they do and leave us with done deals. The reason they haven't said anything about FL changes (beyond numbers) is because it's planned for 7.2 and PLLs were about 7.1, unfortunately.

Trying to absorb this. I think it might be a step in the right direction for FL. It looks like a slight detuning of burst effectiveness with more emphasis on damage outside of burst?

The central problems haven't been addressed, but I can buy the idea they need to see this in action first before doing something with role actions.

You think so? all I see was more burst :/

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, I kinda need a striking dummy or you in front of me to see how this works, although the latter historically has only provided data for a second or two.

The burst is definitely higher across the board...including for some jobs that seem like they really didn't need it like DRG getting Stardiver as a second ranged AoE to use alongside Wyrmwind Thrust and AST having Oracle and potentially Lord of Crowns (Which applies a vuln debuff to make things even sillier) to squeeze into its LB burst windows.

Right, but it seems like some of the new skills add to sustained damage. Like Blota --> Inner Chaos looks like fun. "C'm'ere you, Smack!"
