Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

I had to go look up what Addle was. Is it as useful as it sounds?

I haven't seen any hard info on its magic accuracy down effect, but the increase on casting time is pretty noticeable. I figure if nothing else it extends the window for the Black Mages to stun big spells or for tanks to get shadows back up in time to block the incoming nuke.

It's not fantastic, but it's better than just sitting there lamenting the fact that the mob is immune to silence.

THF gets hosed yet again > _ >

Yeah... basically agreed.

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

So... hmmm... again... timers. If this is the only way to cast HNM spells, then I'm not as excited for them as I was originally especially if the timer is gonna be something stupid. Gonna be difficult enough to get those spells... then being limited in both mana and timers to cast them? Okay. Well, we'll see when we see, I guess.

Not a problem in abyssea, at least. If whisker wasn't already so darn effective, cleaving with fulmination would be fun. Blue mage is already great, so I approve of more toys whether they're high utility or not. I am hoping for a decent potency Magma Hoplon, though ..

It's not that useful. Mostly it makes death and -ga IVs easier to stun if the mob has fast cast.

Curaga V (WHM Lv. 95)
Restores HP of all party members within area of effect.

If it gets to the point that I have to use this. I probably won't have the MP left, better off to just Bene.

I actually have to agree squiggs. But I was hoping pld got a defense boost but didn't look like it.

In before RDM complaints.

What's there to complain about? Spontaneity got the awesome-looking animation. We're getting Raise II and Gain-STR. My only concern is actually about Temper: it looks awesome on paper, but if it ends up just being another thing to cycle, I'mma rageguy.jpg.

If there's one thing to pay attention to this update, though, it's DRK. Inb4 Torcleaver bandwagon?

Blue Mage

Five additional blue magic points will be granted upon reaching Lv. 91.

This just sunk in on me. So much and win.

I agree... but I completely expected this given the pattern.

Anything less

... would be uncivilized.

I think it'll take more than that to make DRK relevant, but who knows?

Has DRK ever been relevant outside of Kraken Club zerging?

. . . oh wait, it's not a self-cast? in that case, yes, yet another thng to add to the haste / refresh cycle, and still troll-ey, just in a different way

And I'm still not to impressed with what PUP gets.

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

Im excited to have a reason to use Ramuh. I can't say it's a great reason... but it's a reason.

Also... Kakka sounds like a cool new addition to the NIN ARSEnal (get it? *snicker*). I'm not so sure about the new JA though. Increases parry? I mean... it's really going to depend what the duration/recast/boost it ends up granting. Time will tell.

For COR... a roll for conserve TP? Lame. A roll for Regain& Regen!? AWSOME!!! Owait...it's for pets.

Re: Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

So Temper is going to be self-cast only.

I really don't understand SE's design choices, given the job manifesto they laid out for Red Mage. I really and truly do not.

ADD: Okay, self-cast, but incompatible with Accession?

Now I agree, that's just plain weird.

Not that I don't appreciate it, but . . .
