  4. I don't get this game – now I run the game on high with a bit lowered shadow settings and I get 52 FPS…
    Benchmark shows my poor old Ryzen 5 3550H, 8gb ram and GTX 1650 laptop to run on 42 FPS max and 61 high(laptop) settings.
    Somehow I'll get both better graphics and better performance…

  5. DLSS 3 is just DLSS 2 with frame generation It's not any better in terms of quality or performance.
    DLSS 2 is using the same dll version as "DLSS 3"
    7.0 is however going to be using FSR 1.0 which is the only out of date upscaler of the two.

  6. can't be an upgrade to Ogi 1) not casted 2) it's an ability, you can tell when a skill is an ability because there's a blueish aura around the characters when they use an ability.

  7. You can see the AST aoe get applied to the surrounding players, though it could just be a new Divination. Then again, we know ASTpocalypse is coming so who knows? 🤷

  8. Important to note about Dark Knight: they snuck in a second ability during the Scholar part where the Dark Knight does a follow-up downward slash with loads of darkness spikes coming off of it. I do think it's an upgraded 1, 2, 3 combo.

    Also important to note about White Mage: Holy III has a lily animation but isn't a lily ability. But the new spell is probably "Medica III" or something.
