I know. I just sat down with some paper to draw up how to slot all the actions on my Crosshotbar. All the attacking/prep for attacking buttons take up only 15 buttons, not counting AoE(I put those on another crosshotbar to toggle between single target and AoE with one button press)

I think what you are trying to say is. It's amazing how many skills there are that can be merged into single buttons. Like why does every Melee job have 1,2,3 (besides SAM and MNK but pretty much the same)

Picto seems so good for downsynced content. Moogle laser at 30? Holy at 50? Black magic at 60? Grass at 70? It'll have so many fun buttons it's like anti reaper/viper

Hello to my new caster main.👋🏾

I'm so excited for Pictomancer! I even bought the paint emotes just in case the price skyrockets. Casters are my favorite, I have all at 90, though I usually play SMN for first runs since it's so easy. I'm a bit sad you said PCT seems like it'll be very technical like BLM; I was hoping it'd be about the same difficulty as RDM. At least it only seems to be about 20 buttons, so keybinding and getting used to them shouldn't be too bad. I really appreciate this video, as it gives a very good idea on how it will play. It looks super fun with beautiful spells!

This job looks fucking cool and super flashy. But also more complex than I’m used to cos I’m basic and play RPR, SMN and RDM.

Looking forward to working out how to play this one

@@royox It have obviously been a while since ShB and I haven't personally gotten my hand on Picto yet to get a feel on it. But from what I've seen of the media tour it does seem to be very similar to what I recall from maining SMN in both StB and ShB. A basic spam. Ruin = white/black paint Upkeep. DoT = Motif A long cooldown buff that does almost the exact same thing. And weaving. Deathflare/Pet skill = Paintings The upkeep does seem more like StB SMN when tridisaster was just an AoE and you had to manually apply each DoT and there was less mobility than in ShB. When I get to try Picto myself it might not feel the same at all, I am only basing my statement from the media tour footage and coverage.

I knew it the spriggan drawn by Krile in the trailer was the LB !

Are you able to bank and convert multiple paint charges to just have a bunch of Comet in Black casts during 2-min burst windows? That seems like the play if so - you'd get all 5 GCDs of free movement plus the Rainbow Drip, Star Prism, and a hammer combo, and Comet in Black still works with Hyperphantasia. Plus the current potency puts it as high as Thunder in Magenta anyway.

Best Caster Job this expansion by a longshot IMO. Lots of Nuance between the 2 job mechs with Sketches and Paint Gauge.

Tempera Grasa is an AoE shield btw

So for 7:30 when you're talking about the shield... it's either a Single Target Shield ... or if while it's ACTIVE on you, you can activate Tempera Grassa to put a 10% shield on you and allies in stead of a 20% on yourself...

I don't think you verbally mentioned that Tempera Grassa also spreads the shield to the party. It's in the tooltip, but I think that's one of its main uses if not the main reason to use it.

Yeah they went a tad over board with this one. I don't think they should nerf its complexity at all as I find for those that want a challenging job it's great and keeps them away from jobs that are simple that I do like from being made too complicated.

Hope you enjoyed my character, it looks like we had the same station at the tour on different days!

My brain hurts trying to understand what to do.

…I really appreciate the video, but the rotation still feels difficult for me to follow just conceptually, in terms of when you do which part of its kit and how to tell when to switch. Hopefully it’ll make more sense when I have my hands on it? I don’t expect I’ll be doing any particularly serious content on it though (I usually cap out at Extremes and will likely main RDM there still, so it’s mostly gonna see use in dungeons for me), so a lot of the “it’ll depend on the fight” complexity may not matter too much anyway.

The speed buff isn’t party wide. That’s just for the pictomancer.

Not having raise just makes it better for raid since they cant use that to justify making it low dps like RDM...its not like raise was useful anyway this last tier for so many mechanics, if someone died that was it the party wiped....

@MyessaKupo

There is no utility more costly to personal dps than raise. For as long as SMN has that, PCT will absolutely do more damage. One interesting way that could mitigate this would be to buff SMN/RDM's potencies to acceptable levels but give you a (stacking?) damage down each time you raise roughly equal to the DPS gained by getting a DPS back on their feet, expiring after a significant period of time (30s? 1min?). Still couldn't see SMN doing PCT numbers because of how much movement they have but it would allow the gap to close significantly assuming you don't need to pick any allies up.

Odd. I am in a very progressive raid team. You usually dont care about the rez since you will probably wipe. But just so you are educated. Picto has an AOE shield that can be cast every 30 seconds (which is OP), for 10% of HP. It has a heal on a 2 minute cooldown, provides a 5% damage buff. Its pretty standard like most jobs. Not sure what your point is. And you have zero clue if Picto is going to be a weak damage dealer or not... hell, they havent even released final potencies yet. But by the way it is looking, given its insane mobility, it will be fine. I predict it will do less than BLM, but more than RDM.. somewhere in middle. It will be fine.
