*The above content is still under development is subject to change before the official release.

[Karbuncle]

Fuck you and being quick. I was just about to post this.

Biggest thing that caught my eye was "Temper" for RDM, A Spell that gives Occ.Atk.twice? I'm giddy. I hope its potent.

<3

I'm more intrigued that most of the job abilities (for my jobs at least) don't look like absolute shit... Wonder if temper will be OAT or if it'll be DA.

[Karbuncle]

The RDM and BLM Job abilities are basically 1 spell 2hours. So i don't see those being too Awful.

PLD one is win

THF one makes me cry, But i don't ever expect THF to get more than a shit stew with diarrhea filling and cancer.

BRD's could be potentially good (Again, looks like a 1-spell 2hour)

RNGs was expected (5 minutes of Trick Attack? Gee thanks)

COR's new roll could be decent?

A lot have some potential, I won't hold my breath but some look good.

[Maksudyst]

Wow old getting ja to not lose enmity.

Comet is darkness damage.

Did they forget to add new avatars for smn?

[Miroku_Asura]

Just noticed that Whm is getting Addle, kinda cool. Sch's 2hour going from 30-90 makes me warm and fuzzy... now if they only gave me cure V instead of Raise III and my sch would be mildly useful Q_Q

Edit: They didn't say we were getting the new avatars this update did they?

[pnavaja]

what i wonder is if the rdm will be able to cast it on others or just himself.

[Renzy]

Really excited about this update after reading this, lots of really nice spells and abilities.

[Karbuncle]

I like the description of Ramuh's BP being deceptive. Its Stun-ga, Stop trying to hide it being worthless.

Also, I thought it was known Comet/Meteor were dark based from AV Testing o.o?

[AzazaelFenrir]

So Comet is something that they will let BLMs cast as often as they want, but SCH's new spell is soooooooooooooooooo OP in their eyes you can only use it under 2hour?

GG SE, GG. . .

[Mrbeansman]

Finally a enfeeble for brd to cast that's not elegy.

[Karbuncle]

Well, From what i can tell Merton is decently powerful and inflicts a potent DoT Effect as well, Something tells me Comet is going to cost a lot of MP as well, which could limit its uses outside Abysssea...?

IDK, I kinda think we don't know the potency of either spells to their extent right now so we shouldn't complain too much

Edit:

Pining Nocturne (BRD Lv. 92)
Decreases an enemy's magic accuracy and increases its spellcasting time.

almost missed it, Addle for BRD, not too bad at all

[Miroku_Asura]

Don't they normally put the recast time/duration in their new JA posts? Some of these could kinda suck if the duration is too short (looking at you Whm)

[Karbuncle]

Don't they normally put the recast time/duration in their new JA posts? Some of these could kinda suck if the duration is too short (looking at you THF and WHM)

Fixed a small portion.

And i think they didnt include all that jazz because these aren't finalized(?). IDK, Maybe they all have terrible durations/recasts so they're not posting them to prevent massive whining XD?

[Draylo]

Why does SE hate THF so much? Otherwise everything is so win, but man thf got the beat stick this update. Aura steal (and an improved version with the drk JA) to drks and TA to rng lol

[Eldelphia]

Still no Cure V for anyone but WHM (<-- not complaining)

[Maksudyst]

No mnk or war huh? lol

[Miroku_Asura]

Fixed a small portion.

True enough, but the Thf one just sounds like it's either a Stun or a Terror- which either way will be *mildly* useful as an interrupt :/ Going to beat a kitten if the Whm is just Rampart 2.0

[Classikmage]

Embrava (SCH Lv. 5: Tabula Rasa must be in effect)
Consumes 30% of your maximum MP. Gradually restores target party member's HP and TP and increases attack speed.

This looks promising, but at the same time, looks expensive as fuck. But wth 2HR onry?

[pnavaja]

there probably goin to be a second job adjusments post since they dint include in this one the job traits.
