[Tarage]

But but but! Caith Sith project was started by someone else!11!one!
I know how disappointed you are in Caith Sith since you never miss a chance to voice it.

I'm not saying we should all be happy, but the avatar is still incomplete, there's hope for the future and atm it's a pretty "unique" Avatar that stands out from the others.
I don't know what you were expecting but I M H O if you were expecting for a supermega avatar with insane over9000 damage everywhere so you would fulltime that and forget about the others then I think it was a wrong expectation.
All avatars should be useful, to a certain degree.
It's pretty clear that Caith Sith needs some work, but I like the "direction" they've taken with it, I cannot call it extraordinary but I do not support the complete disappointment/anger some people have against it.

Now if you were saying that for SUCH A LONG TIME to be given an INCOMPLETE Avatar... well, in these terms I can understand, but realistically I don't think they really worked that much on it, they just had other priorities and Caith Sith has been perma-pushed back to the bottom of the queue for who knows how long...

A bit of both. Look, SMN has a way of dealing good damage of every element... except light. All I wanted was the equivalent to Diabolos on the light side. Something to round out the rotation. Instead, after waiting years, we get another Carbuncle. Yes, she has her uses, but I didn't want another utility avatar. I wanted a damn DD light avatar. Or hell, at least a way to deal good light damage. ? Holy is a horrible move.

[Ophannus]

I always figured Carbuncle's Holy Mist(Holy II) was pretty good damage, and isn't Fenrir's Lunar Bay pretty good dark damage?

[Sechs]

I think neither of them is spectacular, inferior to the elemental options we get from the other avatars for sure.

Targets the closest NPC or monster within a certain radius that can participate in battle.

Eh?
O.o

[Shenrien]

Thank fucking christ.

Spamming F8 near a biv or some bullshit pyres when trying to exp, tab not doing it for you? Rebind those keys to this shit :D

[geno3302]

We must have very different views on what defines good damage..i dont believe around 4 to 10k every 36 seconds for 182mp constitutes good elemental damage. Have you seen the numbers BLM and SCH are pushing out? We have a SCH in our shell that can parse on the low end of our DDs in 18man delve 2. I cant wait for him to finish Tupsimati lol

But yes, cait sith really does suck..I was expecting a bad avatar, like really really bad but never in my worst nightmares did i ever think we would get another carbuncle. Why they didnt give him standard avatar stats ill never understand. I use him for free reraise 2 or level ? holy when im bored and feel like going /emo

[Lyramion]

We have a SCH in our shell that can parse on the low end of our DDs in 18man delve 2

If you parsed him in a 6 man and also manually added the Helix ticks that wont show in the log some DD would most likely cry. I outparsed 3 RNG on SCH on a 9man Kahmir Delve after adding up the numbers.


Basically Helix is the strongest in 6 person runs as the ticks are proportionally higher to the mobs max HP.

[NynJa]

The Sacred Katana / Yomi Okuri / A Thief in Norg!? / The Missing Piece / Better the Demon You Know

FUCK SAM AF
FUCK IT IN THE ASS WITH AN UNLUBED BASEBALLBAT

That shit takes a week with all the jp midnight garbage.

[Fwahm]

ALL damage is higher proportionally to the mob's max HP in 6 man run, not sure what your point is.

You are right my bad.

JP posts today:
* Something about the trust magic list.

* They're going to fix some of the terrain glitches with Trusts (this may break pinning).

* Blue Mage job adjustments:
- 3 new spells - All 8 trait points (whatever that means)
- Ella Chick Flutter - 6 set points - Fast Cast
- S. Assaruto - 7 set points - Double Attack
- Subduction - 6 set points - MAB

They're going to aim to add more spells that are point-efficient as a way to address the set point cap. I think they're also saying that they will add more powerful physical blue magic in the future as a way of addressing its inadequacies compared to auto-attack/WS now. The last comment I just have no idea about.

[Prothescar]

He's saying that they won't raise the maximum number of set slots, but instead are going to indirectly decrease the amount of slots needed. I.e., by giving us more spells that give 8 full trait points (8 trait points = 1 tier of trait), we need to use less slots to set these traits. For this update, we'll be getting 2 less slots for fast cast, 1 less slot for DA/TA, and 2 less slots for MAB1. It also says that we're getting a new Dual Wield spell eventually, which means we can get DW4 in the future. Dissapointing that we're only getting 3 (and that 3 is a plethora, apparently), but hopefully we get more in August.

Also, we'll still need Animating Wail for Dual Wield for now. Gonna be difficult to fit Erratic Flutter in.

[dasva]

Lmao Erratic flutter = ella chick flutter?

[Draylo]

How will it be difficult to fit it in? Especially if we can drop some spells with stronger traits now, like the DA one.

[Prothescar]

Didn't account for that, you're right. DA/TA frees up 1 slot for Flutter.

[geno3302]

Yeah with helix damage he beats people easily. I'm not sure where he stands now with ws upgrades, but the damage was impressive.

[fantasticdan]

We might be able to stack the existing DA/TA spells with this one to get both traits without /war (although you would lose like 3DA I think?) Could make subs like /run and /nin more attractive.

SCH aside, BLM should out damage SMN for elemental damage. That's all BLM is good for, meanwhile SMN has other tools and gimmicks. SCH is great let them be, they need something after the Embrava/PD nerfs.
