Update files are up! Let the DAT mining begin!

[Tsuki]

20% boost doesn't seem like enough to offset the loss of auto-attacks, which I assume includes making Barrage useless while it's up.

not even close... I'm really not impressed with bard changes

[Judai]

I just noticed, they changed Barrage

Barrage
Multiplies the number of non-critical strikes for a single-target weaponskill by 3. Additional effects added only once.

oh, I missed that, that's cool, I haven't even seen the new skill descriptions tbh but still, auto attacks are like 30% of our damage iirc and I don't see how a 20% boost to 70% of our dmg, wins out but maybe I'm missing something.

[ArchDizzle]

Was just going to post that, enhanced barrage seems to still do the same thing as pre Heavensward. With the new ws that resets durations of wind/venom and sidewinder potency being 350 with both of those up wanders minuet might be really good, and you still have the option to turn it off on moving heavy fights and and attack on the fly.

Remember the DET nerf too.

What is the point of Sole Survivor? I can't think of any reason I'd use it unless I can put it on Eos/Selene, and then the Scholar sacrificing them counts; but that's so ridiculously situational.

Situational? There are situations where you just know that someone will die Other than that, yeah if you can use it on fairy and sacrifice them it would be great lol.

I always took it to be the same One-Ilm Punch: primarily PVP skill learned during leveling up for no reason.

[ArchDizzle]

Could be some new mechanics that make it useful, idk maybe. Random target one shot sacrifice type shit

[Judai]

yea but the DET nerf would have to be massive to drop our AAs low enough to make WMin worth it.

Put it on someone who has the doom icon when fighting that eye in world of darkness :D

[ArchDizzle]

So in theory would the new barrage make sidewinder a 1050 potency ability? Idk maths

[Insanecyclone]

That final trial description though.

[Rocl]

Did we mention Rain of Death sharing a recast with Bloodletter yet?

[soulbladex]

Apparently DRK mount is the black couerl some of you may have seen

[Karbuncle]

Carbuncle and Topaz Carbuncle minions.

Now I'm slightly worried SMN will never get swappable avatar skins.

[Ravant]

Would be happy about that. Especially if the rumor of 500 FL wins for Twin is true. I'll be so fuckin pissed....

waaat? where are all the brd changes and new skills, I need to see this shit.. though, I never did use RoD unless it was a free proc

[Spira]

Please let this be as cool as it sounds.

Also, do a barrel roll.

wow. just spoiled myself to pretty much the whole story reading the dungeon and trial descriptions..
then again it'd come out sooner than i can clear it myself and i'd spoil myself anyway.

Spoiler: show

so.. basically Heavensward is FF6?

Well, now it'll be free more often lol. Songs also only cut dmg by 15% now instead of 20%.
