Now look, I already know it's pink. So don't look at it and tell me it's pink.



"It's Pink!"

Also, in news related to the OP, SE would like to announce that tomorrow is Saturday, and will closely followed by Sunday.

Gah, wtf is up with that pink gear? o_O;

[Takelli]

Re: New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)

Its not THAT bad as you make it out to be. I would wear it just for kicks. XD

Anyways. Some of the ugliest gear has the best stats. So the uglier the gear is, the better the stats.

I kinda like it though. I've seen much worse.

Ladies & Gents, I do believe we have discovered Richard Simmons' alter ego.

Re: New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)

The horror of leveling beyond 75...starting soon.

and wow. we will get more rambos with /dnc now since we all get flourish II, i forgot if /sub can keep moves up to 5 or not. Making it the ideal "self- SC" or ...for sam.. let's just go crazy for them Mediate + wild flourish!

Job looking out:

Sam/dnc 80+

All mage (yes include you BLU) /rdm

/sch for events a like.

and rdms are now offically unemployed (yay, but that also mean me!!!)

Then we also get

DNC become a real tank.... with yonin and dual wield III... (well thf too)

But watch SE will put a "job specific skill" on sub soon anyway.

Re: New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)

Yes, /dnc can get 5 finishing moves. You just get them one at a time, not two at a time.

S-E already stated Innin and Yonin won't be gained by having /nin.

nd rdms are now offically unemployed (yay, but that also mean me!!!)

Uhhh... Rdms I can see getting these spells:

Haste II

Regen IV

Refresh II

Graviga

Enspell III

Tier IV Nukes.

Cure IV

Paralyze, Slow, Blind and so on tier II.

Another convert type ability

Stronger Melee weapons (Maybe a 4-5 hit weapon. O.o; ))

Stronger melee skills (+Sword skils weapons and armor +Shield skill shields and so on)

Stronger enfeebling skills and nukes.

I can see Rdms being used as actual enfeeblers this time with back up healing like they where meant to be while tossing in a nuke or two during the fights...

Crazy shit that will probably never happen bolded.



RDM doesn't even get Regen 2, if anyone is getting a tier 4 Regen it's WHM.

Haste 2 is a possibility, but again WHM gets it earlier than RDM and RDM quite frankly has enough going for it without a second tier of haste pushing it over the edge of solo play.

Tier 2 enfeebles are already there, might wanna look up RDM's merits some time.

A 2nd convert type ability is highly unlikely. They did say @ vanafest they want to free RDM up even more and allow them to buff other mages so they can "spam their magic" which will likely result in Refresh II.


And there's actually OA2~4 times in the .dats from the last update, so RDM may yet get access to such a multi-hit sword but 5+ hits is just plain dreaming dude.

[Takelli]

Re: New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)

Rdms should get stronger melee weapons at least though.

Also, I thought they had Regen II... I guess not. oh well. And the enfeebles II are only available through merrits, you can't get them all, can you?

[Malacite]

Re: New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)

You can, but it's inadvisable as further merits affect their potency.

I called SE out on this a long time ago, and now it's come to pass - Merit spells are going to bite game balance in the ass unless SE tweaks them (and consequently refunds merit points spent on them >_>)

Before they removed the feature to search for hidden spells in the game (just prior to ToAU I think it was) it was found that there were 5 or 6 tiers of Bio & Dia, like 8 tiers of elemental nukes, etc etc. But because SE had to go and be completely retarded we have spells like Dia 3 and Slow 2 as exclusive merits to RDM.

So forget about Dia 4, Slow 3 etc unless they are also RDM merits @ 99, which would again be very stupid. Mainly because all the spells RDM with the exception of Phalanx II were higher tiers of spells shared with other jobs, some even learned more quickly by those jobs like bio. How is it that BLM, which has more dark magic skill and learns Bio before RDM, gets screwed out of Bio 3 for example.


I wonder how SE will resolve the mess it now has to deal with.

[Takelli]

Re: New Version Update Announcement! (05/14/2010)

I wonder how this will affect merits though... Its like why get to 75, and merit now when you can just reach level 99, and merit there. Will the merits go away with the new level cap, and you will get them back when you reach level 99?
