March Version Update

Indeed. on the high level acuexes it is a consistent 7k+ sanguine as RDM/WAR. Obviously some mobs will have resistances to that type of damage and it will be lower. But the utility of being able to instantly cure yourself to full and do a ton of damage is wonderful.

Hmmm. Again they put adjustment of enfeebling spells only under RDM. So it is looking like "The damage over time dealt by Poison and Poison II will be increased and spell duration tripled from thirty to ninety seconds." really will only apply to RDM. I guess this is their way of making RDM the enfeebling specialists they are supposed to be.

Yeah soloing Acuexes on RDM/NIN or RDM/DNC will be a breeze now. Also, more red procs for RDM :D

Pretty curious to test a AA normal fight with a gravity @ 90s + Bio III + poison II + some helix on ^^
like old day, maybe.

18% movement for mages works for me.

Personally, I am most glad that they mentioned it finally - I was beginning to wonder if the 'March' update would happen in April ^_^;;;

/SCH helix is lame. Even with weather bonuses and dark arts potency and ebullience, helices do around 600-700 as sch main on AA normal. RDM/SCH will probably so about 400-500ish and the duration sucks balls. Also AA have pretty good auto-regen too. It would take a while unless potency of poison is vastly better than it is now.

No delve is horrible its like AA fights very specific jobs that get invited/wanted to go, IMO skirmishes and WKR has been the best "group" content they've made latley, really Any job can do it and i like that, takes away elitism


the only thing about delve i like is they made the "outside version" those are alot more doable

im hoping this Vagry more of the same any job can do it not just Brd mnk sam war whm

the peculiar thing about the update notes is that everything on it will actually be implemented in the march update...iirc in older update notes (before "the end is upon us" news) they always pushed content to be introduced in later updates (which was stated in the update notes). This time this is not the case. This small detail makes me think we can forget certain things they've been working on, monstrosity for example. I hope this wont be the case of course, but i fear for it a bit.

you're using the wrong word, thought we baptized it vaginary.

Except Ardor.

I'm still trying to find su1 weapons and they are Comi.g out with su2.

Su1 weapons were never created.

They wear the same gear (skirmish) nowadays, and blu has a fair bit more int/mnd because of spell equip stats. Blu can also offhand clubs to boost sanguine blade damage.


What fencer trait? Tier 1 from /war?

Never understood the need to be different. Just go with the flow and level the jobs needed. Whining about not being able to come a specific job is getting old.

Delve was great when it first came out. It required an alliance of quite a few different jobs. It also required people to change their strategies when they failed. It also required them to actually focus on that job. Which is something the player base can't do apparently today since all I see are the same cookie cutter shouts.

Gearing a job to be playable in today's content is a joke, literally takes a week if you put the work/gil into it. You don't need to be elite to beat current content, you just need to be okay and have the tiniest understanding of hate and the mobs mechanics. You also can smash most, if not all, AA and delves with just about any format today.

This is not a problem with Delve or AA this is a problem with PUGs. Any job can fill the roles needed to do delve, as long as you obviously have specific roles filled(stunner, healer, buffer etc...) PUGs however are a gamble on people that in most cases you have no knowledge of When it comes to their gear or abilities. Specific jobs are therefore shouted for not because they are the only jobs that can do the content but rather because they are the simplest jobs to gauge the possibility of success, usually due to ease of play or ease of gear selection.

Simply put: MNK is not required for Delve, it is requested because bringing a low tier monk still gives you a relatively good chance to win where as brining a low tier BLU or PUP, jobs with slightly higher skill requirements, does not because in most cases they lose much more damage due to lack of proper utilization of their strengths.

TLDR: don't blame the events, blame the flaws of PUGs.

Rdm should still end up with better numbers on savage blade though. I am currently popping 11k-13k avg holding tp until 175% with moonshade. (That was in a 133 incursion I went to for shits and giggles, need a tid more of acc on rdm but not too much more.) My CDC seems to cap out at about 8-9k and I still have gear tweaks to do.

Edit: I am still lacking decent MaB aug so I could actually end up beating my savage blade with sanguine

Yeah. Because boring the mob to death was always so impressive.

Wait, RDM doesn't get Fencer?

I thought it did, I didn't look it up honestly.

Skirmish is a single party. WKR isn't group content, it's a swarm of solo people. Yes that may in some definitions be "group" content, but it requires little to no group strategy short of "don't be a *** about pulling mobs to bad places" (yet somehow that's beyond some people).

Delve actually required some teamwork and, as such, was fun. At least for a time.

Incursion to some extent too, but the mobs in incursion are just donkey-raping ***eater mobs that constant inflict you with the most irritating status ailments available, so it got really old, really quick.

no it doesn't. you'd think that a job that is a fencer type and has gear named fencer would get the fencer trait.... but no.

Yes, 95% of the game's population being WHM SAM MNK BRD PLD RNG SCH, and the other 5% being all the other jobs is really great.

What a wonderful world that would be.

You get the special banana sticker.

You'd also think the job named Fencer would get it too. Or maybe a shield. Or maybe some dual wield. Something to encourage those 1-handed weapons. Oh well.

There definitely needs to be some better shields in the game for jobs other than pld.

I use the mighty Flame Shield!

unfortunately i missed incursion and on levi nobody does it lol. seems to come and retired fast on this server

would loved to gotten one the capes tho

on side note tho, wasnt einherjar supposed to be Soloable enterable?
i dont see it talked about anywhere but friend of mine thought he saw it was coming, and seems like they should since leigon is now.

Unless you mean cp capes, the job specific ones you can still augment just buying the crystals. That's what I did since I haven't done that event either.

You can already do Ein solo, it just has a short time limit.
