Big dips in dragoon dmg???? What about big dips in it's health when it can't survive certain aoes? lol

Inc ninja nerfs because their testers sucked and couldn't maximize the class lol.

Patch 2.45 Dec. 9th!

Also, I know it won't be mentioned, but it'd be nice if they allowed a BLM to cast their spell without needing to directly face the target. I hold down my right mouse button when I play, so I'm constantly changing my perspective, but sometimes they'll move at a certain angle that cuts off my spell just a second before it finishes. It can be frustrating. :/

Class-specific LB3!

So the way they're making FCOB carries is that you can enter, but if you've cleared you can't roll on the items.
Oh boy?

Have you tried a /facetarget macro? I have one bound to my R key that I mash during boss movement. Helped a lot on T9.

The thing that annoys me is that I've got so used to hammering Face Target to counter this, I sometimes break my line of sight and interrupt my casts by mistake when I'm attacking two separate enemies that are a wide angle apart. :(
 
So they mention maybe taking npcs into solo dungeons....but they don't mention the chocobo.....the thing we have had forever and grind like hell to get to r20...and will soon be raising. Yet it is still worthless lol.

I haven't, but I'll give it a try.

Again, it's not a massive issue for me, just mostly when my cast is 90% complete and the enemy suddenly moves in position [such as through me, going to my opposite side] resulting in the spell stopping. Generally I'm okay, though.

It's worth a shot. I started using it specifically for that reason, and while it doesn't work 100% of the time, it was better than me trying to manually move my character around.

All of this Eternal Bond information...

It's really quite amazing the amount of thought they put into it, though. I have absolutely no interest, but great for those that do.
 
Never really bothered me, especially when there are so many sealents up for sale. Unless you wanted to be the uber crafter, you don't need that many sealents.

I hope that we will get a recap soon. Also, I hope they won't nerf Ninjas too badly... I really like that job.
Oh well, more information December 9th.
Did they announce the (final) Crystal Tower yet?

Looks like we're getting the gold plan for the mount >_>

All this effort for such a dumb system, and then monetizing the only reason most people seemed to want it.

lol

Hope you can get the clothes without bonding at least.

Clothes are part of the quest (they say so in the letter)

I bet these fill up really fast with both standard and paid too.
 
I really hope they don't go too far with this Ninja nerf. They didn't need a damage nerf from the get-go considering Monks are still the highest DPS and now that Dragoon is getting buffed they might end up pushing Ninja into very same position as Dragoon is now.

Dragoon dmg wasn't really the main issue in the first place though, it's that they literally cannot survive multiple mechanics in final coil without a blm helping them out because their magic defense is terrible. Their dmg was honestly fine if you count what they do for bards(and you are going to have a bard), it's just that their extra health doesn't make up for their magic defense and without being geared out the ass, they will blow up.

Them nerfing Ninjas would very likely just be their dmg/tp, they will still be able to at least survive mechanics.

Oh how I hate this. I think I complained about it since I started playing when the game released.

It can completely ruin your rotation and leave you with no mp in the worst case.

edit: Face target doesn't really help (me). I just anticipate any movement the enemy might do.

Yeah, it's not so much you not facing the correct direction when the cast is almost finished, it's when they make a last-ditch change just as the cast finishes and it's interrupted. You can only plan so much. :(

Bookey was half-complaining about all the MNK loot he has last I saw!

He missed out on the gloves, belt, ring and neck...
So this is terrible news. TERRIBLE!

Well let's hope the Ninja nerf(s) aren't too bad. O_O
