Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

Has anyone wondered why rdm won't be weakened? I mean they had to have had seen Avesta solo Genbu, Guivre,etc.

I think anyone willing to spend the time and resources to take 2-3 hours hacking at something for 0 damage and spamming utsusemi deserves to win. Same with dying 30 times to DoT that Dynamis NM. When you consider what Avesta pays for his victories in time, gil and experience ... I don't think that's a game balance issue.

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

nicely put Taskmage. I've been playing Rdm for so long and I don't even want to try solo those things @@;
If it is so easy that every rdm can just do it whenever they want, that deserves nerfing.

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

The person who soloed Genbu didn't really do it alone... unless he soloed Olla Pequena, Media, Grande (there are repops right in the room and they have magic immunity WS, so at the very least, not using similar methods) and Zipacna (again, no safe kiting area) too. Guivre is a bit different, but hasn't he already been soloed by BST before? and I've seen a SMN solo Ose. There are a couple of things that can be soloed v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y by some jobs, but that doesn't mean that anyone is going to do it that way as anything other than a tour de force. Otherwise it'd be much quicker to duo or trio the same thing.

Monk
Currently, Monk is strictly an engage and beat on the mob kind of job. They want to add more skills so there are other uses for the job in a party. One potential idea is allowing the Monk to transfer some of his massive HP to party members.

Im a monk so this intrested me, Will this be like a "cure" or "curaga" job ability? Use your own HP to heal other party members? Sorry for getting off topic

thanks, PB

not that I'm complaining^^

Edit: I think I know the answer to my own ? > maybe they will weaken nin as a sub so rdms can't pull off teh things they do

Why would they nerf a job because of something one person is able to do? I have yet to see anyone else able to solo the Ash Dragon.

Good question but no one knows the answer. All we can do right now is speculate.

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

Se feels that nin is dominating the subs too much so i think that may be why thats what i picked up from the future plans for the jobs taz posted

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

Ok, as far as the supposed upcoming nerf for the blms, all i have to say is....Saw this comin.

Here's why people started doing what they did with rngs "You can only do that with rngs", except they have started saying that with blms. I wouldnt worry to much about the god fights, it is the in party and "smaller" bcnm fights where SE would like to see a more balanced pt. Either way i wont be that bad, we rngs found ways to adjust so will the blms and thier parties.

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

Well, I have learned not to jump to joy with FFXI. According to what I have read and seen, Bahamut will never be an avatar. This makes sense (as much as I hate to admit it) He plays a very important Role in the CoP story...... This also makes me think.... if he ever becomes summonable.... then wy not be able to summon his minions like Vrtra, Jormungand, Tiamat etc? Bahamut is a jewel of Final Fantasy Lore, and even though he has been a summon in all Final Fantasies, he has a bigger Role in FFXI.

Aslo, just because we see Cerebarus, and something that resembles Odin does not mean we will get those avatars. I hope we do but I doubt it. I would rahter have pheonix, and seems more believeable. They mention him ALOT in CoP, but we never actually see him. and if you beat CoP... you see.....

Also, from the vew footage I have seen of BLUE Mage they cast magic using the same animation as BLM, I hope this changes, it would be nice to have a unique animation!

I think we will be given the option to be "mercenarines" and change to the new nation...

Any comments?

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

Can they nerf Avista but leave the rest of us RDMs alone?

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

I wonder how puppetmaster will work o.o Did they say anything about it? Also, I don't think that big thing with an axe is an avatar, it'd probably be glowing and floating if it was. I wonder what SE is going to do with Odin, in mythology Fenrir ended up eating him Maybe he'll be used to boost Fenrir's power, yay o.o lol

I was at Fan Festival, so I'm going to say that what they mean is to distribute your max hp.

example. Say you have 1600 HP and you distribute out 20% of your hp which is abtou 320.
You now have 1280 hp, and everyone else in your party gains 64 Max hp. Say this lasts 30 minutes.

You can't gain something for nothing. There has to be some sacrifice some where.

That's why the whm ability will be to drain their own hp/mp pool to give to others.
This was the basic understanding on how it would work. It's still theory.

Bahamut will not be summonable. The devs stated that, "if we were to make Bahamut summonable, we would have to weaken him, and we don't want to weaken him. We want to keep him as a special avatar."(Yes they used the term avatar to describe Bahamut.) Making him the ultimate avatar. In everyone's mind, when they think of ffxi they think, chocobo, job classes, summons, Bahamut. I for one do not want a weak ass pansy dragon that will be beat up by his subordinates when I summon him to fight for me. That's humiliating. If I wanted a weak ass dragon, I'd play Dragoon. :p

Re: New Aht Urghan Videos And the new Job

Bluemage does have a unique casting animation, in both motion and effects.

And as far as puppet master goes, perhaps it will work similar to the classic Mime job. But instead of the player using mimiced spells and abilities the puppet will use them. I noticed that none of the screens of puppet master have them equiped with any weapons, so that suggests that the player themselves don't actually fight. Though that could also mean that the puppet is equiped AS the weapon itself.

Or it could be that you can use an ability and the puppet takes on a certain job class of it's own for a short period. Or it will gain special JAs or JTs depending on who's in it's pt. Nothing we can do now but speculate.

Personally I was hoping for a new full fledged melee job of some sort, even a new type of tank. Support jobs, mages and pet users just don't interest me that much. Oh well, guess I'll just have to stick to war and thf and hope the new changes made to them are actually useful. =/
