The Final Fantasy XIV players have been waiting impatiently for the Paladin renovation to finally hit the patch notes and check out what changes are coming soon. They also got a surprise Machinist buff and a special wolf.
The two jobs have been a little terroir lately, particularly machinist. The physical ranged class is often discussed as the lowest DPS class in the game, but hardly in an interest. If you weren’t an exceptional machinist, they couldn’t go out for hard content.
It was the topic of the talk in Yoshi-P, who told a player in Live Letters that the job was done with a complete overhaul to work on a few issues the team sought to resolve, including the absence of burst damage and the difficult use of its defensive abilities.
Final Fantasy XIVs Paladin gets a massive rework.
From all the notes for work to the notes of the patch, the Paladins was definitely the longest. There are the DoTs in place, and in come the OGCDs increase damage, and a slightly lower defense rotation.
There are few skills who have simply received a buff in damage, such as Fight or Flight. If Fight or Flight is not a physical damage increase, it will have a straight damage increase now, making the skill a little more versatile. The combo has been improved slightly. However, the Royal authority has granted the next Holy Spirit or Holy Circle to be cast immediately with increased potency, so the combo had a nice score. Holy Spirit and Holy Circle both got a boost when used in harmony with Royal Authority.
Some straight damage skills have been reduced, but with the DoTs removed, players have more damage in their back pockets in the oGCD category. The arching blade has been added as an oGCD, thus giving players an attack of about 700 to take part in their off-cooldown rotation.
The biggest changes to the kit have been Divine Veil, which now creates a barrier between player and party members at the top of the table – a maximum ten percent of the players’ maximum horsepower. This removes a large hoop players needed to jump through to trigger this effect. First, players needed to recover HP to trigger the movement, and now the effect is straight-shot.
The Machinist got a surprise, something players have been asking for.
Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshi-P Yoshida’s players were so focused on Paladins rework that it distracted everyone from Machinists’ lack of DPS or party buffs, something other physical ranged jobs had.
In fact, a person like Mario cannot be better off than a player in the world. This helped a lot of party support with the addition of Dismantle, which reduces the number of targets dealt 10 percent for 10 seconds with a 30-second cut.
We all have straight damage buffs, thanks to the very necessary boosts in job demand.
The other jobs helped changes, too.
The more jobs landed on the job, the more jobs were nice, but on the worse, the less work that kept on the job. Bard noticed a big change to Natures Minne that now affects the entire party and isn’t just one party member. Dancer gets a great quality of life update and can now utilize Curing Waltz and Shield Samba while dancing. It’s a very nice change.
White Mage and Sage also had a few pretty nice changes. White Mages Assize, one of the best equipment in the kit, reduced the damage from the effects of the other job, and improved production times in all phases of Phlegma. In addition, they got additional stacks of Addersting which can be given when the barrier to themselves is completely dispersed by Eukrasian Prognosis.
