I haven't been in the loop for this patch. Are there any major class/job changes going on? Any nerfs/buffs?
Nothing in regards to class/job balanced mentioned so far that I can recall.
Diabolos and Leviathan... tempted to come back since I quit in october, but would need to catch up so much orz :/
Which is unfortunate because Bloodbath/Foresight/Bulwark/Awareness/Cover/Tempered Will are all still fucking awful and need to not suck, and Shield Swipe/Haymaker need changes as well. I'm hoping they'll surprise me with the live letter or the patch notes, but I'm not holding my breath.
What I want to know is what will happen to ex fights? Seeing as myth will be uncapped there is little reason not to just do relic seeing as it can be upgraded at least .
It feels like ex fights will have no reason (outside new ones)
I've used Tempered Will twice in Titan EX, both times because I was just too lazy to move. It's only a "godsend" if you're an idiot. The only remotely useful cross-class skill PLD gets access to is Stoneskin. Every other job has access to at least two useful abilities. Buffing the aforementioned to not-shit tier would benefit PLD and WAR, as well as any other job with MRD/GLD as a sub-class.
Considering they just got done successfully balancing PLD and WAR I don't see them going out of their war to fix some minor woes that all jobs share and no one really cares about.
Swiftcast, Provoke, and Invigorate are the only truly important cross class skills in the game, remove all the others and you'd be hard pressed to notice a significant difference in performance (Cleric's is obviously huge for SCH nuking but if you need a SCH's damage to win something you've got other problems).
Cross class B4B is less than a 3% increase in overall damage, as is Raging Strikes.
tbh that's an overarching issue with the entire game that should probably be addressed. just 'cause they're all shit doesn't mean they should stay that way
This is SE, they're going to stay that way whether we like it or not.
I'd rather get on with new jobs and classes than waste time fine tuning the ones I'm already bored shit of.
You'll still find that mentality in some, but I feel it is much less of a driving force than it was back then.
I think it will make a comeback with new tomes.
