Why.. why would they nerf Manawall? It was excellent when you aggroe'd after some AOEs and needed defense while the tank did his job.

I'm not in there anymore, got in there twice, and got kicked twice for being online for 2 days. Since then, I've not been a member. So, if there's someone here that's willing to craft my weapon.
This is an absolutely huge boost:
Essentially BLM's DPS increased 9% Our BLM parses at 280ish on T8 and now will be doing 305+
It's not actually nerfed. The original duration of Manawall was 60s, and chances are if you activated Manawall you knew you were getting hit once or twice during those 60s. They reduced the time on the status to 20s; however, chances are if you activated Manawall you know you're getting hit within the next 20s.
Twenty seconds is more than enough time to get hit twice really, in most of the endgame fights.
I have untill the Stone one, and I only ever get to lvl16 ones.
I understand if you are hazy on the details on last night but I was over 300 more often than I was under

Sweet! Do these changes also go live on the 8th?
Anything under 50 is in the low level roulette.
I don't know mate, I really don't know.
That's a pretty big nerf from where I am sitting. 60s to 20s?
Though the damage boosts are nice I guess. All the better to burn them all with mwah ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
If your manawall was up for more than 20 seconds anyway then you were just clicking the button without thinking.
Edit: I'm more annoyed that our sleep duration dropped from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.

Congrats on t9!
Oh man, time to start stacking those treasure maps again @@

I've never done it, down to give it a shot.
The Sleep duration reduction is only for PVP.
Patch redeemed, I officially have no BLM complaints.
I was briefly really stoked to see another Mistrals Ballad quest, then I saw it was just Savage Mode Coil. XD
Incidentally, that's just Second Coil right? Would really enjoy Savage versions of first Coil, but the patch notes seem to indicate that this is a Second Coil only thing.
Come Tuesday, it'll be a heck of a lot easier to find somebody willing to take you through this for the first time, including yours truely. I'd offer to do it this weekend of course, but, well suffice to say I'm not entirely selfless, those extra Myth tomes man! XD

You need to clear Turn 9 to even get into brutal mode coil.
Ah, well, guess whether it's Second Coil only or not is going to be moot for awhile then. XD

this almost sounds like old-school FFXI quests where all you had to go in is the NPC dialog.
Well I'd assume the addition of first coil savage would just need you to have cleared turn 5 but now that it's out of order I also wouldn't be surprised if they said you need to have downed all of second coil in savage to get back into first coil for savage.
It is second coil only. They are versions of the fight that the developers created first before tuning them to what we currently have.
That particular thing was mentioned at E3.
Ohh ok, thanks!.
Not surprising. I heard a few peeps talking about Brutal versions of first Coil, but I kinda figured that'd be more work.
Shame the reward isn't better for Savage mode, yet. I thought I heard something about them putting in better gear for it eventually.
It's an addition that isn't thought out at all. People bitch that the game is too easy but I doubt many will care to actually do hard content with no big reward.
The patch notes also state "The Second Coil of Bahamut (Savage) has been added." No mention of "The Binding Coil of Bahamut (Savage)". Pretty clear to me that it is second coil only.
Someone says they'd enjoy it if first coil was also included and it's misconstrued as being unable to read the patch notes. That sweet sweet irony.
Brutal coil is basically for people like CL, Blue Garter, etc. It's for people who have already cleared second coil and want a new challenge to occupy their time for the sake of prestige. Yoshi-P said this to me at E3:

Whoa, Presence of Mind got a decent bump.
Another housing item?
Another housing item?
"The chance of a FATE occurring will increase the more time passes since its last occurrence, increasing the overall frequency of FATEs."
No more waiting 5-8 hours for Rare Fates to pop. Between this and all the additional Myth Tomes they're throwing at people, the Animus grind is being hecka nerfed. Now if they'll just increase the Atma drop rate, then I wouldn't mind farming out additional Animus weapons. XD

That, or they really want people to competing to get those Unidentified Allagan Tomestones.
My initial complaint was regarding you thinking Sleep nerf affected PvE.
Meh I blame their way of laying out patch notes. Put everything into one section and put applicable labels on each line item instead of turning the whole thing into a book. Some of us have to trudge through this garbage on mobile.

Ah good point, I completely forgot about that dropping in there now.
What the heck are these things, paging Shamdeo
The status duration reductions were clearly listed under PVP adjustments.
Gimme a break, I'm operating on 4.5 hours of sleep here. *trying to reset my schedule today.* XD
While my sleep addled brain may not be thinking this through entirely, it might make sense to putting those extra items off the weekly item lockout system, and simply making them a semi-rare drop that anyone can roll on. It'd certainly give groups incentive to keep running CT2 after getting their item, but would still be hard to get unless you're running it with a static with an established drop hierarchy.
Cool, you know what's infinitely easier? All class changes in one spot and putting (PVP change only) after the ones where that is applicable.
Let me complain Drama, it's my thing.
Could totally see them making it a 24 man lot... oh man. Probably easier/quicker just to clear T7 lol.
If that is what's in the fourth chest then it is a 24 man lot, which would also mean the oils and sands would later be added into gang cheat for 24 man lotting fun.
