You say that, but now everyone will see how badly I manage my TP!
Noooooooooo!!!!
08-25-2015, 05:13 AM
So, DRK Blood Weapon is a 20% reduction? Does that mean we're going to see TP costs that aren't a multiple of 10?
08-25-2015, 07:32 AM
Do I still get my 15% skill speed increase?
If not ima be annoyed. I did perfectly fine with my tp and mp before this and still did everything right.
Why ya gotta fix what ain't even broke? >_< like really? First mp now tp?
UGH

And now every single Monk/Ninja will glare at me if I don't play TP song, plus I got no excuse not to now.Â

I'm often a bad and forget that I even have it when tanking. After all, you can't use it with Grit on, and I usually had other methods to recover my MP without having to open myself up to some heavier hits. Having it as a TP recovery might result in me using it more, but I usually don't have TP issues either - so likely it'll be a matter of me not really noticing its there unless I'm DPSing and I'm just popping it for the speed increase.

I tried out Alex this morning after the patch and oh my glob those changes are amazing. I mean, I was 100% fine with how it was before (I tend to just adapt to how things are), but now it's like.
THE CONVENIENCE.
THE DAMAGE.
URGHNGHNGH. SO GOOD.
The reduction of the meditation cast time makes it super easy to recharge between packs of mobs, and in instances where you can't hit the boss now. Before it was a bit of a tight fit, but now it's a breeze. THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.Â
That extra two seconds on greased lightning makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
THAT DAMAGE BUFF THOUGH. INSTANTLY VISIBLE RESULTS.
I won't argue if those buffs were needed or not because I have no idea but GODDAMN, I welcome them.
08-25-2015, 08:26 AM
Hopefully we'll see PLD get some quality of life changes too. Potentially a slight damage buff as well...

The change is largely for DRK when they're OT. It gives attackspeed, so OT DRK vs. MT DRK ran out of TP faster.
It still won't be necessary to bounce in and out to use it while tanking or anything, and it's a reduction in cost rather than a regen type effect; So it's just a neat little thing for extended fights as OffTank.
For longer fights as MT people can now see your TP bar though, so perhaps people with TP support abilities will start using them more when the tank is 3 minutes into a fight and starting to run empty. All in all good changes.

It's less them having TP troubles and more "They're running out of TP because everyone else fricking sucks in A4 for dps and this fight is taking forever.". Happened in all my A4 runs so far.

15 second quick reload! I can proc enhanced slug shot or cleaner shot more now. Now 'quick' part actually makes sense. Found it funny how you can fire a gauss shot more often than you force proc something.

So does this mean that all Ninja are going to be required to switch to Monk now or be left behind in the lolNIN category? Was Monk really that bad that they needed a crapton of buffs? I haven't played a Monk since early 2.0.
