Job Adjustments! (8/19/2011)

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

As mentioned, carby’s BP will be useful if it’s above Levi’s…but then again Levi’s also curagas…so iunno.
Ramuh getting stunga seems cool but I don’t see many uses for it…cept maybe dynamis with multiple JA mobs or maybe BCNMs.

o Run Wild (Lv. 93)
Your familiar will gain heightened powers, but will disappear when the effect expires.
This could be interesting. Pet version of Warcry maybe? Get a couple Bsts together and pet zerg ^^.

Also, yaaaay to new jugs. too bad mobs don’t wear armor…I’d love to use the slug and remove their equipment.
(And on a personal note…can they stop using Hume Bsts in pictures, we all know Taru’s make the coolest looking Bsts).


Not super excited about pup. I don’t have too much of a problem with Puppet overloading. Only times I have problems is when I need a 2nd emergency cure.

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

Yeah, the Unbridled Knowledge JA will let BLU use HNM WS as spells for the duration (1 spell? dunno) of the JA. Still have to learn them though lol.

And the Stunga BP is useless. Even if you are perpetuating Ramuh, it takes 3 seconds for the Blood pact to go off. If you aren't well...even more lol. If it has a lower cost like Ifrits Enfire or a long duration, then it might at least fall into the catagory of okay.

Yurin and Kakka, huh? I guess those were abilities in Okami ...

Gain-STR and a double attack buff. wtf is rdm supposed to melee or not etc etc.

Is the blue mage in the Unbridled Knowledge screenshot using Fulmination? I think I just yurined my pants a little. Don't recognize the spell at the bottom.

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

Yeah, the Ninjitsu spell names are a bit...off. Ramuh's ability sounds like stunga, which...yay? I don't play SMN, so I dunno.

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

I know it is not how it is pronounced, but man the potty jokes that can be made with the NIN spell...

Also, carby's new BP, if it can take off what Levi's can't, me likely. And poor Ramuh...no love for the old man.

Gonna have to go spam Brother's now with friends so I can get Raise III (oh or Kirin). Not shelling out 1 mil for it, even if 1 mil doesn't really take that long to make anymore.

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

Sorry. I just know it's coming. :p

The changes to BLU look interesting, and woo to a NIN spell that increases TP gain. No MNK or WAR mentioned, but do they really need a boost? I submit that they do not.
