You can meld them? :o

In the 100% slots yes, no overmelds

Piety for clemency go

My bet is on accuracy to offset the use of an accessory or something that has more DET than you can get from slotting DET.

According to the patch notes you should be able to overmeld them just not with primary crap. Could be wrong though.

Think all this means is there's no more pentamelding accessories with VIT, essentially taking away pentameld advantage at the start of raid patches.

That's a general thing for all melding not specific to the raid gear, forever ago they said the non crafted gear would be meldable only in the 100% slots because penta melding it would be a bit much. It's possible they changed their mind but we'll find out I guess.

Oh.

Also
Spell speed so it actually goes off before an auto attack tickles you and interrupts it

It was a joke

Its casting time got set to 2 seconds now, didn't it? Should be easier to time :3c

I wish it were instant

To time it between auto attacks yeah, but if you wait to do that by the time it goes off the healer will have healed you anyways or you'll be dead :x It will probably still interrupt combos too so theirs that. At this point it's really just there so you can activate divine veil yourself instead of needing someone else to cure you.

Wish it was a proc like Thunderstorm.

Like Gorings dot has a chance to make it an instant free cast.


Can just use Cure now lol. Way less MP wasted.

Servers up.

Cure will only give you like a 300hp shield from it though, you still need to heal more than 10% of your max hp to max it out.

Awkward, no difference in attack power between an I210 str accessory and vit accessory... not as weighted towards vit as they made it sound like it would be lol

inb4 Emergent maint? >.>

Wow SE... that's ridiculous. -203 attack power :(

Can someone who plays FFXIV explain what this is about?

It's a boss in Lost City of Amdapor. An undead goobbue that's controlled by some parasite. It eats you with its stomach, and chews you up if your party doesn't break its tummy fast enough.

They told us they were doing this lol, I honestly expected it to be more.

*waking up in the morning gotta be fresh gotta HAVE NO MSPAINT TO DO*

Lina blew all her gil on magic beans

sure hope they take into account the loss of tank DPS for future content. they sure as ***didn't think about poor tank DPS for 3.0/3.1.

Idk, the way I took it was that they were going to make VIT the main source of tank damage, and I figured the ATP would go down by maybe 100~150 tops. But 200+? that's 1/5th of my damage! That's like putting another Grit on top of Grit. :( So dumb. Not too mention, now groups who did have some sort of interest in clearing the now old Alexander Savage will have to wait to regear from new Savage in order to pass its DPS checks.

So major nerf to tanks, cause now we're going to have tank busters gauged to maximum vitality builds instead of left side vitality builds, and we lose 20% of our damage. :(

He said "your damage in VIT gear will be a little less than it was in the same item level STR gear".

In this instance, every WAR loses between 200 and 300DPS, flat out (don't know about PLD or DRK).

Every tank loses between 200 and 250 Attack power.

What we get in return is bloating of a stat that holds little to no value passed a very easy to reach without VIT accessories point: HP.

No changes to Parry to make it valuable. Nothing to make VIT a stat that is actually useful in any way besides making up a minuscule fraction of the deficit Attack Power from pre-patch. Just more HP. Effectively it's a 20-35% decrease in tank damage output. Any group who was just barely (see: most) beating A3 or A4 pre-patch will no longer be able to clear it.

My PLD is doing more damage then before but then again that was the point of all our buffs.

To put it another way, it's 300-700DPS that now needs to be made up by the rest of the group (in 2 tank setups).
