24 hours from the time you picked up the last one. Timer starts when you take it.

I'm looking for you everytime I get on. Any chance you are going to be playing late night (for you) tonight or late-ish night (for you) tomorrow?

Depends what you log on as I'm 5 hours ahead 9pm = 2am for me and by that time I am seriously flagging! Don't you play day time on a weekend?

[Squiggs]

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

No, I work weekends. I'm usually on by 8pm (1am for you) if I'm getting on (3 or 4 nights a week). I generally get to play a day or two during the week (wednesdays for sure and one other day that is semi-random).

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

Dear Lord I have been bitching about this for ages and they finally went and did it after I leave the game - freaking Heal Breath IV AT LAST!

Fuck everything else, that alone makes the update pure win. Nice to see DRG is getting some badly needed love. The jump & breath reforms are all stellar, and 1 minute jump is something else I'd been crusading for in-game for years. The only things here that really shocked me were the skill increases - did NOT see those coming, ever. More HP, and a significant increase to evasion & parrying is just badass. DRG almost has as much evasion as MNK & SAM now, holy crap... that's a lot of evasion for a Knight class.

Maybe I shouldn't give up hope on them raising SAM's Archery skill after all. This update actually makes me feel bad for COR - COR really got shafted by comparison, damn.

Yes, it gave Magic Haste before; yes, I'm 95% certain that it's (by popular demand!) going to be made into JA Haste now.

Also, as every Dragoon should know, Ninjas can wear Haubergeon. Of course Evasion Skill doesn't make sense.

If it is turned into a JA, will it stack with Hasso, and if so, will they be nerfed?

Probably not in either case. Someone on the test server could tell you more than I could.

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

PLD & DRK "updates" are up now... not even making a thread.

SE be trolling.

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

Post links in here then please? I don't like the SE website... Its too clunky for me lol.

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

They reduced Shield & Weapon Bash down to 3 min recast instead of 5. Whoopty fuck (unless you're an Aegis owner)

[Takelli]

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

.... That's it? -.-; I would have rather they gave the abilities a secondary effect like... "Also may increase spell interruption rate." or, "May cause the target to flinch, stopping their attack.".

[Yygdrasil]

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

I'll make a thread for both of them... gimme a few.

Re: [dev1070] Job Adjustments: Dragoon

All the recast timers in the world still won't make Dragoon a tier 1 DD. The changes are notable, especially the relative increase in power of the merits, but Dragoon's issues stem from being more trouble than they're worth, and these changes don't do a lot to address that. Arguably the biggest problem with DRG has always been that polearms aren't really all that and a bag of chips, and it's an insult that their level 300 polearm skill is AoE.

I suppose if you have a mythic/empyrian/relic polearm, this would be less of a problem... but that's a long gap. Honestly the only neat effect is that healing breath IV can remove Doom.
