FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Hot Fixes (Oct. 15)

[Lucavi]

off topic, is King's will just damage buff? For some reason I always thought it had a frontal knockback to it. I've been dodging it and just treating it as a free stun since they tend to use it at like 25% hp.

And a massive buff at that. Dullahans should be dying pre-King's Will if the DPS does its job, but yeah, pain.

[Waraji]

I wonder if that Height patch translates over to other fights. Chimera, Coil T1 Golem Obliterates, etc.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Dullahans will always use cone first, then a swing I think, then king's will, then who cares because it should be dead by now.

[Rocl]

ftr the cone is called Iron Justice

This.

[Kimiko]

Positive on that, and it wasn't just the Dullahan's either. Everything was doing increased damage. Did a bit of a test on the Succubus Void Fire when we noticed the increase, which was originally doing bout 1.2k-1.5k. It's now doing upwards of 2k+. I'm thinking this is the difficulty adjustment mentioned in the patch notes. Boss damage appeared to stay around pre-patch numbers, but I'll need to run it a few times to confirm this.

[Obsidian]

Done AK four times today, Dullahans were hitting me for 500-1000 just like before the patch. Did not notice any increase in damage whatsoever.

[Carth]

Can't say I noticed a damage boost either. Were you going Sword Oath/No Oath on PLD?

[Grey Jorildyn]

Sounds like someone forgot to shield oath after demon wall.

[Krandor]

Who does Shield Oath in AK? :X

[Kurokikaze]

This. Sword Oath all day in there.

If you guys can Sword Oath all the time you're clearly not going with bad enough shout/DF people! Some of those healers are scary times and that's without them even bothering to DD.

[Akiyama]

It also caused a lot of drama and issues. Something had to be done.

We had a griefer who'd end it early every time for a weekend after he got his account back. He was one of the guys who was blanket-banned and lost all his gil so to stick it to SE, he was making the playerbase on Levi mad, Lol

Ran a WP with friends pre-update, our options were DF healer or DF tank. I thought healer would be the lesser of two evils and went tank.

He thought Cure III was best cure, randomly went AFK, never Esuna'd, and not a single nuke. If I wanted a robot healer I'd rather have brought a chocobo or fucking Eos.

This isn't possible, lol.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Pre-patch; it was for funsies since friends had never been there.

[Therin]

I'd rather run Shield Oath so that the SCH never has to cure. You can literally go all of AK with Eos doing 100% of the healing if everyone dodges properly!

[Krandor]

Assuming you're blowing thru defensive cooldowns on pulls with more then 2 mobs, there shouldn't be any reason for a SCH to need to cast a single heal until last boss, even in Sword Oath. And even then maybe just to remove the healing debuff and top you off.

Best answer: healer +2 DD + SMN

Hilarious fun

[Kirbyprime]

Everytime I use sword oath in DF parties I'm disappointed. It's not that the healer is bad, it's just that the healer is fucking retarded.
