The Last Dance II: The Show Must Go On

A second thought here. I don't know how mithras (like the one in the picture) move during waltzes. Elvaans like myself are the ones who leap like gazelles, so yeah... Back to ground zero again...

Chocobo Jig lvl 49

I wasnt aware of that too, but it's simply command to disengage.

So, what Kat means is to use command to engage, then WS, then use command to disengage in a macro. This should work to chain WSing without actually engaging for more than enough to WS.

if they reduce the effective lag on steps then dnc becomes meta

calling it now

Praying for the removal of JA delay on steps/flourishes. Almost done with Terp, would love to have that change as a bonus.

Are there examples in game where they removed the JA delay for actions that are used on an enemy target?

I can only think of JAs that you use on yourself.
Not sure if it's a "game design" choice or if it's a physical limitation of how their game code works honestly.

That image in January Update, looks like a brand new Job Ability, haven't seen that animation before, theoretically; it could belong to waltz, according to the pose.
Healing Waltz II?

In before it's Curing Waltz VI, because we could totally use a stronger single target Waltz, INORITE?!

xD xD

Imagine if it was an AoE Healing Waltz that acts like Panacea!! or removes Amnesia..

Stop having such wet dreams! :P

I hate to impose but if everyone could post what they are using for PK post update I would be grateful. I gear all my jobs for dynamis wave3 (if you don't that's obviously fine) and I'm having trouble negotiating some recommended gear choices.

I find myself seriously lacking MA when saber is either at its low or off entirely (for whatever reason) on a weaponskill that seems to profit from maxing out its number of hits. Thanks.

ItemSet 364024

Head: ATT +20 STR+8 DA+3
Body: STR+12 DEX+12 ATT+20
Hands: STR+12 DEX+12 ATT+20
Back: STR+30 ACC/ATT+20 DA+10
Feet: HP+65 STR+15 DEX+15

edits: Changed accidental Moonshade to Mache+1

no point in moonshade, can rep with Mache+1 or some other earring, not positive on whats BiS there

Not sure why i put it there (also been editing my Reso sets on RUN) Currently using Mache+1/sherida will fix ty.

personally I prefer stp on the Cape because getting that extra ws is better than getting one additional hit on each ws

otherwise that's basically what I have

Adhemar +1 body over AF2+3?

That looks a lot like my set minus samnuha and neck +2. I pretty much gave up on Teodor.

personally I use af2+3 but I think it's close

I do too. You're right they're more or less within spitting distance of each other though Adhemar B has a little bit more STR/DEX.

Speaking of saber dance, they should at the very least, remove the decay factor on it and fan dance.

This would be funny as sh*t.

Mob amnesia > DNC waltz.....waltz.....DAMNIT amnesia!

Or!!!
it removes it from "others"
This fixed it Sechs XD

Unless, using it prior, makes you immune to it for a minute >:)
Oh, Im back to daydreaming again~

Under most situations when I play DNC I should be attack capped, so I value the additional stats and enmity-8 on A Jacket+1.

Fair point.

Wish: Steps no longer cause JA delay.

Expectation: Waltz Recast timer reduced by 2sec.

I personally avoid any DW when capped in magic haste, since you only need 1DW...

Relic Body +3, is better overall, for various reasons (-PDT, EVA, MEVA, MDB, Amnesia resist, not to mention cheaper).
Granted, Attk can be capped, its not always sustainable to solely depend on buffs, various issues could arise, the trade off with Jecket in my opinion isnt worth it.

I'm guessing they're going to remove some of the JA restrictions.. like allowing us to do building flourish to reverse flourish without the timer penalty.

Based on the bst adjustment though, your expectation is probably right.

Typical SE! Can't have us usurping their beloved WAR/DRK/SAM!

The Japanese update text talks about adjusting recast time for certain abilities for both DRG and DNC. These jobs both have classes of abilities with shared recast timers, so I think the new update might have each ability on its own recast timer.

Meaning we can actually use Climactic, Ternary Flourishes on different recasts!

Well I think bigger thing would be using buidling and reverse flourish on their own timers. Building flourish is kinda amazing, but Reverse flourish is too.

Yeah, the point being that we aren't constrained by the global Flourishes cooldown anymore

opens a lot of new options for us

This means that the total number of ability recasts a character can have active at any given time is 31 because they only send one update packet atm.

IIRC the current state is something like:
Main (14): SP, SP2, Contradance, Steps, Sambas, Waltzes, Jigs, Flourishes I, II, III, Presto, Saber Dance, Fan Dance, No Foot Rise
Sub (13) : BST might be 13 because pet commands are JAs

So that puts us at 27. IIRC there is something else that pushes us up even further towards 31. Nothing is impossible in a video game, but they would have to touch the packet system to allow DNC and DRG to have independent timers for all their different JAs and they have been loath to do so. I bet they just eliminate the JA delay associated with using Steps/Jumps and call it a day.

Alternatively, and more in line with the JP post, they could just reduce the recast times for Flourishes and ultimately do nothing to really help DNC...

That's a shame, I guess it could be a coincidence they touched the two jobs with shared recasts
