New Post, Drgs... YAY, Sorta. Haste.

War is top 5 now it doesn't need any buff.

I wouldn't say that WAR specifically needs an update, just that either everything that isn't SAM could use some balancing or that SAM could use some rollback. Yorcia parses pre-update were all comparable between koga SAM, conq WAR, and lib DRK, and we did a lot of yorcia so it varied a lot but it was never a land slide that it is now.

Anyway somewhat more on topic, assuming they do this right (JA Haste), maybe we can look forward to content thats worth doing where DRG can come as well. Is Upukirex still a top tier non-mythic option? I need to gear again to do job points i guess, haven't played it much since Tojil was cool.

It's still not desired.

Heck, I got denied into a linkshell for having a Conqueror WAR -.-

Dancer can't be unhappy either - steps up to 10! AoE Healing Waltz too.

When I do stuff with Sope drk he comes somewhat close so I don't think sam need a nerf now, only SC dmg need a nerf(or MB need a HUGE buff), maybe they should nerf solo SC ?


As for drg; the emp ws is supposedly good now so I'd guess those skirmish wpn with ws dmg+ would be best non r/e/m option?

They should keep max step 5 but double the potency of steps IMO.

I'm pretty sure there was another reason (or the linkshell was HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, in which case you shouldn't want to join anyways).

They didn't know who I was, I jumped servers and changed my name.

Didn't even look at my WAR, as soon as I said I had a Conqueror coming up, they said no thanks.

Sounds like the latter then.

Yah, I'm going with pants on head HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE people.


Even not counting 25% JA Haste, these effects are better than most old-1hours x.x;

I'd kill for Perfect Dodge to even give me one of those effects lol, I'd take the Cure V cause when im using PD its usually cause im dying

This is certainly a lot more than I had expected considering what they originally said. Hell it might motivate me enough to collect the remaining ~15k Alexandrite I need to finish my Ryu.

I'm hoping these are enough to make dragoon competitive again. When a samurai can nearly outparse a mythic dragoon with a 117 eminent polearm, that's a problem.

Greetings,

With the amount of time required for a breath to activate, it will somewhat affect the timing for swapping out equipment for Healing Breath enhancements making it a bit trickier, but we would like you all to actually try this out when it goes live and then let us know your feedback in regards to the usage.

Additionally, I’d like to give a bit more information regarding the upcoming adjustments.
Haste effect
The new haste effect gained by the dragoon as a wyvern’s level rise will stack with equipment haste as well as magical haste effects similar to Hasso and Spirit Surge.
Strafe
At the level 80 stage for the Strafe job trait, breath accuracy will cumulatively be +100

YUS! JA Haste



Still wont out parse a fudo sam, but will definately close the gap by a ton on other melees.

Great, a DRG/RDM can have magic/JA/equipment haste of 51.6%.

Well, I can't complain too much, a BLU can have 56.6% haste by itself lol...

Now, where's the WAR JA haste effect????

or they werent thrilled about having a conq war expect a dd slot, most standing linkshells already have their cool kids club of DD and just want support

doesn't even matter if the dd is better, people get into the attitude of they always get to go dd after a certain point

A more apt question is why does WAR only have Berserk up for 3 minutes of every 4.3 instead of full time!

To pretend that WAR and DRG were even remotely comparable prior to this intended buff is utterly laughable.

Someone predicted that if drg got any sort of buff other jobs would QQ. It's happening!

I may be mistaken fillerbunny but most Wars only go 36 seconds without Berserk endgame I thought?

Group 1 merits
-50 seconds when 5/5
And when activated with
Agoge Feet +1
And Pummeler Body +1
3:34
Recast 5:00 mins (4:10 when merited)

Another question; I believe they initially made comments about also increasing potency of wyvern breath (may be mistaken) But made no mention of it again so I suppose it just magic accuracy?

I was mostly being facetious because as I concluded, Warrior and Dragoon were not even playing in the same ballpark.

As for your second point, I do recall them saying they'd be boosting the Accuracy and frequency, as well as removing the red TP Move lines to prevent confusion with enemy TP moves. I think they also said something about boosting Subtle Blow for Wyverns.

Pretty sure they did that in the last update.. but none of us noticed because who cares about Wyvern subtle blow ; ;

NMs use TP moves pretty much whenever they goddamn please which is seemingly every 5-6 seconds(especially mega bosses) so I think TP feed is irrelevant these days. Most NMs seemingly have regain.

Also I thought I had read somewhere that they were going to strengthen Wyvern's base power(interpretted this as increasing their +Attack or base dmg again) and thought I saw something about increase elemental breath power.

Also Steady Wing and maybe other ways to heal Wyvern coming.

Still would prefer if DRGs could use Spirit Surge when the Wyvern is not present. Doing so would activate Spirit Surge and give us a different set of bonuses, similar to the original DRG SP2 "Rouse Wyvern" as Ophannus had proposed. It would summon your Wyvern (without using the Call Wyvern timer) but in a powered up state for 60sec, invincible to all damage, more potent breaths, 25% haste effect,higher att/acc, Restoring/Smiting breath would be 10s recast. It would be like Spirit Surge, except the Wyvern gets all the bonuses. It would be much better than the regular spririt surge for fights where you absolutely want to ensure the wyvern doesn't die for the first minute or so(or as a backup "Call Wyvern" for when you need your Wyvewrn NOW but the recast on Call Wyvern is like 16 minutes away.

I'm a little more excited!

36 hours until Legend of the Dragoon begins. Been counting down all week since date was announced, so excited.

Ive been polishing my Ryuno for the past 2 weeks. My body is ready

my gungnir has been 95 for years (finished currency phase shortly after the dyna overhaul) and i finally flipped the gil for marrows. Its gonna kill me to drop more on airlixers for xaddi gear when reforged empy is coming soonish and will obsolete it, but I don't care, want to poke things!
