the changes to cor and drg are very nice, changes to healers and gallant roll are welcome, since they are the most least used rolls (believe it or not I use pup or bst roll more often then those 2)
-35% DT with PLD in party wut da fux
Huh. Official numbers on Warlock's roll. Why is it so terribly terribly shitty. +20 MAcc on an XI with a RDM in the party even after buffing? Worthless.
Hunter's is freaking *65* under the same conditions.
That said, love the Gallant's changes and I'll never say no to a DRG buff.
Nice to know they still don't give a fuck about SMN.
@100 TP: 2355 > 2105, 11% reduction (~6% overall DPS)
@300 TP: 3404 > 2757, 19% reduction
@100 TP w/Blood Rage: 2639 > 2390, 9.5% reduction (~5% overall DPS)
@300 TP w/Blood Rage: 3517 > 3081, 12.5% reduction
Can't give a proper value for overall DPS reduction for 300 TP since that's usually dependent on unusual factors.
Using version of Blood Rage without crit damage bonus.
Raging Rush for same target/gear setup, without Blood Rage: 1791 @100 TP, 2459 @300 TP. So Ukko's (after nerf) is 17.5% better at 100 TP and 12% better at 300 TP.
Smite looks like a 3.5%-4% reduction in overall damage at the usual usage at ~100 TP, and a 12%-16% reduction at 300 TP (varies depending on Impetus).
Gallant's Roll conspicuously lacks a % sign. Does this mean it's similar to Phalanx?
Nice to know DRG's overall output is still fucked in most events if their pet happens to die early on an NM. Why can't they be given a Deus Ex Automata equivelant?
Spoiler: show
Nice to know COR is still getting crazy-as-fuck buffs while RDM sits alone with Temper, Gain-CHR, and Gravity II.
Remember when CORs didn't risk aiming for XI due to busts? Nowadays busts are a non-issue.
srs q_q
Probably right considering they had the % in there for the cure potency one. Not that -35 damage taken is anything to scoff at, that's still like a buffed up phalanx (and I'm sure they stack), but I can't really see that taking the place of other rolls except in a very small handful of situations. Then again, you have things like EA and Scherzo which are crazy DT-% in the right conditions, so it's not totally impossible that it actually is a percentage.
I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty damn cool if it would stack with phalanx.
Choral Roll is missing the % as well, so they may have just forgotten it. It wouldn't be the first time.
cure potency roll is actually a pretty great buff for rdm healing if you think about it. It's not much but it's something.
Put the 3rd roll slot on Armageddon already, these buffs are neat but real estate is tight in a buff rotation.
These things have to compete with Miser's and Tactician's.
Considering the level of Healer's Roll I'd say that's a good buff when you're lower.... then again you can reach cap in a few hours nowadays.
Oh wait I forgot which team is leading now... I suppose Abyssea will be nerfed to balance the leveling up process.
