Shield Bash recast time will be reduced from five minutes to three.
To preserve balance in light of this change, the Shield Bash Recast merit point enhancement will be adjusted to reduce recast time by six seconds per level, instead of the previous ten.

ROFL. This is Square-Enix tossing PLDs and DRKs (neither of whom really need any help balance-wise) a metaphorical bone to say "see, we didn't forget about you!".

But its fun to feed them... Especially when they get mad.

That RDM Archery skill increase from D to C- i mentioned before... isn't looking that farfetched now. <_<;

Re: Job Adjustments: Paladin &amp; Dark Knight


I think the fact that they're conflating Shield Bash's usefulness with Weapon Bash's is very telling about their thought process. This would've been amazing in 2004-2006 at least.

It makes sense that you're the youngest.

Incorrect. I'm older than Feba (which surprised me just as much as being younger than Takelli).

Re: Job Adjustments: Paladin &amp; Dark Knight

I am corrected.

Completely off-topic, but the movie that screenshot is from is pretty fucking awesome.

Pretty sure I covered this in the DRG thread

This seriously didn't need it's own thread - just more of SE's BS. Hell, it probably took more effort to put up that spoiler and the subsequent threads on the official forums than doing the actual adjustments. Silly me for thinking PLD might get something badass like, oh I don't know, that 3-minute Sentinel duration buff I've been clamoring for for years now.

And don't tell me it's OP, not when DRK got 3-minute Last Resort with absolutely no nerfs to Desperate Blows (though in this case they definitely would have to adjust how fast the effect deteriorates).
