    In the moonlight, your face it glows.. like a thousand diamonds, I suppose.
    And your hair flows like.. The ocean breeze...
    Not a million fights could make me hate you, you’re invincible.
    Yeah, It’s true.
    It’s in your eyes, where I find peace.

            That shouldve really been there from the start... all mages should get TP from spells, what is the purpose of them having Weapon Skills if they dont attack during battles?... I could see mages actually contributing more to damage output if that were the case.

              Wool Grease as a call pet item? Does that mean Bsts get Chigoe pets?

              And damn, they just buffed the crap out of Drg.

              You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

                      Yea, it was one of the spells found while dat modding the previous mini update.

                      Though I have to wonder, why must every steal ability have a retardedly long recast?

                      And lol at giving wars two traits that boost critical damage, and then giving them a JA that prevents them from criting. Good show SE, good show. Also, lol@Shieldwars.

                      Oh well, it could be worse. At least it's better then Mnk or Rdm, you guys get hosed.

                            They're basically getting old Third Eye. Guaranteeing a singe counter once a minute really isn't going to do much in the long run. It's nice and all, but that still leaves 59 seconds of pain once you counter that single attack.

                              Not much for RDM, but they just got Composure, and it's pretty awesome.

                              Mana wall - one more chance to get a sleep off when your face is being raped, and more importantly, one that doesn't depend on a subjob (NIN, WHM, or RDM) Someone on the wiki forums was just talking about BLM/SCH needing something like this.

                              Magic Burst Bonus - ohey maybe we did over-nerf bursts after all (BLM 45!) Too bad it's only DRK that gets the nuke bonus.

                              Resist/bar amnesia - bar should've been around a long time ago, and resists are on jobs that are completely gimped without JAs (BST and PUP are completely dependent on JAs for pet control, and COR is all about the rolls)

                              Dual Wield - there was speculation that some job would get this, but the speculation I saw was expecting it to go to BLU.

                              Aisha Ichi - this is probably the new NIN sneak+invisible spell. Lol completely new tool that needs to be crafted and carried around. I think people were expecting this to be Tonko San.

                              Cure V - notable for NOT being on the list, since it was "special" for being much lower hate than the I-IV progression.

                              Libra - examines enmity - does WHAT now? You get to check something once a minute that is constantly changing, and also depends on what everyone else's level is?

                              PLD Phalanx - errrr, I thought they aready had that, but I'm just a "stoopid mage" and know little of the subtle ways of beating things to a pulp. I guess that was one of the reasons /RDM was such an important subjob.

                              Divine Benison - thank Altana that's a trait, not a JA, and I won't have to type that all the time. Reduced cast time and lower enmity for -na spells? Yet another little thing to keep RDM (Fast Cast) from outdoing WHM as a healer is fine with me.

                              RDM Regen II - I'm cool with this, /WHM would get it at 88 anyhow, and /SCH even sooner. Regen I is kinda weak for 75+.

                              Presto - winnar of silliest JA name evar. God mode: say it with a "gay lisp".
