Just a video going through the RDM tooltips for 6.0 and my thoughts on the jobs Im mainly gotta play!!! Twitch : / arthars Twitter : / artharsff14 Instagram : / artharsff14 TikTok : / artharsff14 #FFXIV #Arthars #highlights
I think the thought is that players are not pressured to use Fleche and Countre as well as engage/displace during embloden window. They can just choose a time in opener to use them and press on cd after that. And please riposte for ucob.
I think they are keeping our damaging oGCDs as physical to hold back red mage damage to make it a balanced class and to keep being thematic. Since using your sword is physical damage unless your sword is "enchanted" LOL. It's silly. Even the change to Manafication giving 6 stacks of magic damage buff, if you weave any damaging oGCDs in the melee combo, oGCDs should not consume the buff since they are all physical. That change to Manafication and Embolden maintaining magic damage only to self means they are adamant in keeping our damaging oGCDs as physical damage.
I'm overall happy with the changes, especially with CaC, Displacement, and Engagement having charges. I've wanted that for the longest time since it makes more sense for abilities that get reset regularly. I can somewhat understand why they specifically make the oGCDs physical and Embolden not buffing our own physical damage. I think they want RDM to prioritize aligning buffs with the party, and trying to fit Fleche and Contre Sixte inside Embolden while doing that will probably give you a headache lol
100% there with you on the Riposte being given to us for level 70. People always tell me why I say to use it and I just tell them "you don't play Rdm do you"? People think it's Blm's Scathe, potency wise. I think it mostly comes down to not reading the tooltips and seeing how much damage it actually does, for most people.
Reprise is great but him calling it the best skill is pretty silly. It certainly has its uses but it's still a step down from fire+thunder and actively delays the use of your strongest spells.
@@Princessk8 Big rdm main and i agree with you 100% but in the context of 2 charges on movement skills to avoid immediate use pressure, Manafication being more viable due to the melee requirements change relieving the possibility of overcap, acceleration gaining a second charge and the upcoming (tentative) potency buff to reprise, this skill did in fact just get a heck of a lot better
My nitpick is corps a corps being 2 charges and deals damage. The ability also looks weird to me as a rdm, thematically. I always wanted something similar to resolution in animation with red magic. I also HATE mobility tied to damage. Love thunderclap for mnk.
