MoogleEX is so much fun! Plus I love my moogle axe, the noise it makes!
That makes more sense, being capped means every gain will result in a loss in something else, rather than just a chance of it.
I'm not sure if it was smart of me to do this but I put a few points in every craft to minimize the ones I want to keep from decreasing as often.
Allow me to steeple my fingers and laugh maniacally! XD
At least your lack of taste continues to be consistent.
Maybe. Then I could have a legit shot at top dps once in a while.
It could be. It looks like an axe, yeah, which is pretty perplexing. Then again, there are no giraffe WAR, so it must be a DRG.
Not saying it's for anyone else. Just saying that that's a constant 20% damage buff where MNK needs to re-up their with Twin Snakes on top of the Fists of Fire like 5% damage buff. Ninja has all of that just by existing. Then they can regen a MNK's TP without BRDs having to lower their damage output to sing Paeon. If the TP regen ability has that rumored Trait that would increase its potency, the TP regen skill could be cross-classable to other jobs, which is just disgusting in all ways.
That bow was made for tacky gold Lightning.
It's like they're targeting me specifically.
(Stat improvments? Don't care. Hideous glamour? MUST HAVE.)
NIN DPS boost for being sexy.
You are a riddle wrapped in an enigma, my dear Fays.

20% does not equal 62% inc dmg monk has. sorry to disappoint galen (probably should just stick with poking fun at angary). Also you have to decide between kagari and drama for eternal bond. get moving son
Which is why I say DRG is gonna go extinct, not MNK. MNK + NIN are gonna be best bros in all ways aside from sharing all of the gear.
So now we basically have a tradeoff of melee on utility beyond just DEEPS
MNK being a self sustaining powerhouse of DPS but not really having much other than mantra to help the team
DRG helping out the BRD that will inevitably be in the party
NIN helping out the tank if for whatever reason they don't have a WAR partner for slash debuffs. At least you'll know that the slash debuff will in full effect 100% of the time. Oh and the TP refresh good lord
Beyond just DPS I like the possible utility I see in melees.

Well, it depends. Spinning Edge -> Shadow Fang for the DoT and then Spinning Edge -> Gust Slash -> Aeolian Edge x2 is most likely more damage if the WAR is doing the debuff. I think there's room for the Ninja to do literally all of it but it is a 60pot hit if they do it instead of the WAR.
Plus figuring out how to weave in Huton, Doton, and Raiton I guess so maybe there's less GCDs than I'm expecting.
If a Ninja can keep the slashing debuff up, it also frees up a Warrior to keep the Storms Path debuff up on an enemy, in addition to doing more Butchers Blocks.
Granted, a 10% reduction in damage isn't necessary for most fights, but it makes life easier on the healers, and WAR's will need to put up Maim occasionally anyway, using one more GCD for the full Storms Path won't be much of a DPS loss.
(Besides, PLD's will probably need a GCD here and there, to keep ahead of the Butchers Block enmity generation.)
Somebody's gotta wear the pants in the relationship.
I didn't consider what Scy mentioned, who knows how this will go, but either way I like the fact that the NIN might give the tank that flexibility.
I would wonder why they'd lock Hide's usability behind a trait. I guess a Stealth cross-class option wouldn't be a horrible thing, especially if the expansion is gonna bring us to deadlier 1.0-esque areas.
Anyway, Trick Attack and Sneak Attack appear to have generally low usability in any sort of content that will matter. What a waste of two attack slots if this ends up being the case. Especially Trick Attack, since that does the damage down debuff, I think, which is really not important to use at the start when there's typically Stoneskin and full health Tanks going into the fray. I guess it makes all of that last a couple seconds longer and you do quite a bit of damage, but...
We can both wear the tux at our
Trick Attack is the +10% Damage taken on the target. Would be absolutely glorious.
Sneak Attack is the Hiding + face one, Trick Attack is while Hiding + Rear.
Pretty sure the suiton buff allows you to be in the 'condition' of hide while in combat. When showing Ninja before in trailers it showed suiton in use, 2 actions suddenly became available and upon their use the suiton effect went away. Ninjutsu are on 20 second recast timer, and the two hide based abilities are on 60 second timers. They will have a place in the rotation if suiton does indeed allow them use in combat.

Yeah, this is what I'm hoping for since it seems to be the best way to make Suiton useful. No other word on what Suiton does and I can't imagine Sneak / Trick Attack being left as a useless skill for most situations so this seems the most likely.
Duty Finder though so I don't think so.
I would like to meet the people that would want to DF Savage T7 without a premade. Just... Why.
Primals are precedent for putting content in DF but requiring a full party to queue. Ramuh started like that; Shiva should too.
It'd be smart to have as a requirement just to prevent people accidentally queuing for the wrong one.

Ironworks gear looks amazing. Way better than Dreadwyrm.
Why does the picture have to be so small? I feel teased.

I also rather like that Flash and Circle of Scorn are getting higher enmity generation.
Flash, while not as useful as Overpower, is situationally useful already, (Doesn't damage the target, don't need to be targeting or facing an enemy to use it, etc.) With increased emnity generation though, it'll be more useful.
I cannot tell you how many times I've had a short voice in T7, and I had to pray that a partial rotation and a few Flash's would be enough to hold the target until I could turn around.

Tome gear:
That bow >>>>>>>>>> Rosenbogen.
I'm eh on most of the armor--both poetics and coil gear are probably better than the stuff we have now but aren't spectacular--but am enjoying the weapon design.
