Thread: 8.0 - 100% Confirmed.

Bullet point 3 and bullet point 9 surely co-existing along nicely. Definitely not mutually exclusive. Nope.

These are my opinions and feelings and are not intended to represent anybody else. I’ll gladly agree to disagree with anybody who has a different opinion.

there is really no pleasing healer base right now. no details on how they gonna do it. reason there doing it cause numbers are showing that. whm and scholar falling behind not just in healing but in dps. lot players specially scholar ones really want more damage buttons thats fine there shield healer. when they got gutted they lost lot who they were. however on whm I hope its the "buffing" side of things rather then damage like you are. whm needs more to do then just healing and damaging and divine bension and aquaviel was good direction but still needs more. they realise that. amount complain people do about both those jobs have been heard is known.

even if they do this they also know they cant make everyone happy someone gonna hate always tried make everyone happy in doing so prevented them from making any real choices when come class design. they cannot take that path anymore

1. He hasnt stated it's staying at 100. He said it would be crazy going past 100 (in not so many words) and was looking at whether to continue past it or do a lvl squish.
3. Yes he's stated a rework but he hasn't stated that there wont be any new classes in 8.0

you are on copium if you think he'll add a new job after reworking whole battle system. and retuning every job currently in the game some content clean up trashy class design they had sense realm reborn seriously think gonna add new job after removing all harmonized abilities every job in the game. dont get me wrong be nice have new job but task they have before them is far bigger then then you or any realise . these reworks gonna take large amounts of there budget if they dont do this and we have another expansion like dawn trail like any other this game will die it be final nail in final fantasy 14 coffin. they cannot ignore give us bad class design anymore they cant afford to be sloppy with it. like they did with dawn trail

aren't you askin little to much from them. at this point why add anymore jobs when rest of jobs are terrible have large about problems if cant fix the jobs they currently have why add to the problem

I'd love a reworked Limit Break system. Current one works, but it's so stale...

They could separate into 2 LBs: DPS, and Support (tank/healer)
- Those 2 LB types fill up at different paces and different criteria
- LB now only has one level, what we know as the LB3 today. Light parties what we know as LB2, but with unique animations per job instead of the shared generic one.
- DPS LB also staggers the boss for x seconds, holding the fight timeline and being incapacitated (like in FF7-R), taking more damage allowing a burst window to happen. The DPS LB can't be used during certain mechanics in a way to skip them.
- As of the above point, the 2min meta would be no longer a thing as it is today. We still have the collective burst, but is LB dependant, and promotes communication when to use.

Anyway, probably would need a big encounter design rework for this to happen, so It's just a fever dream lol.

Its out of date is what it is its all over internet right now yoshi-p stating they plans reworking it. limit break 2 and 1 never really used outside of dps in dungeons. however ask any dps right now what one perfer to use it be limit break 3 animations. having individual limit breaks also added new spice to jobs currently in game

when i say rework also want everyone realise. i mean adding large quanilties of new abilities and or changing how old abilities how they work

dev teams had total nightmare trying baliance mch, bard and dancer its either they fall behind too much to point there not even a job anymore or they buff it still not good enough to be on pair on with other damage dealers in the game. this been hell on earth for the balance team. when they are doing it its needed change cause they are getting tired of constant shuffling of baliancing with ranged dps
