Really wished the NA version kept the japanese naming convention. Fire 4 = Firaja, Blizzard 4 = Blizzaja
Ah I thought it was 20% my bad then.
Looks like Blizz4 and Fire4 don't actually upkeep UI/AF? Kind of neat.
So new layer rotation on top of the old rotation, I like how they handled blm.
I actually tested in game to make sure I wasn't crazy, but yeah Presence of Mind doubles your spell speed lol
Regardless of how fast you feel the gain is, Presence of Mind physically doubles your spell speed.
Yeah, they mentioned that B4/F4 don't give Astral/Umbral stacks so you need to use a t1-3 to keep it up; so BLM got less braindead
^ The issue with "double spell speed" is that it doesn't translate to halved casting time, hence the confusion.
They mentioned the new buff that allows you to use Firaja and Blizzaja is refreshed when using those spells so it seems it becomes a balancing act of keeping up Umbral/Astral while keeping up the new buff.
OH ITS tank JOBS GUYS
oh wait no vid?ewew
On my phone at work refreshing this thread and reddit. Fuck I'm a nerd.
So PLD is becoming more like WAR by having a non-enmity DoT combo. Yay.
Some kind of barrier.
Shield Swipe improved / more blocking actions? idk the translator lady doesn't know terms but Yoshi said swipe
WAR next.
I don't know if the Japanese call it something different but Yoshida specifically mentioned it as "Haste 15%" for the Leylines abilities. I assume it's the same as NIN and MNK attack speed buffs that don't directly affect your skill speed stat but still affect GCD.
Is there a google doc of this with all the questions and highlights?
Hope they take Shield Swipe of GCD like I've been saying for months. I'm obviously a biased WAR, but come on
