FFXIV PvP Actions Job Changes Affect Viper, White Mage, More

The 7.16 patch is here and many of the FFXIV patch notes cover the job changes made to PvP Actions for classes, with the Viper and White Mage among the nine with the most changes. Over 50 actions now have a shorter period between action execution and effect activation, with the Monk, Samurai, and Warrior seeing the most changes. 

Most of the changes involve buffs. For example, with Viper there’s an overall increase in potency for four actions. Likewise, this is the case for the White Mage. Though in the case of two actions, text also was changed or removed. The Summoner job also ended up seeing two changes, with one increasing potency and the other adding a Slipstream buff to the user as well as their allies.

Here’s the full list of all the 7.16 job changes to FFXIV PvP actions:
