The Mercury Keeps Rising: Level Cap to Be Increased! (12/01/2010)

**Darkyrm** · 2010-12-01 06:47

Maybe Nin spell is a 1 hit utsu-like spell that only works for 75%hp hits like Scherzo? With a bamf->log animation would be cool and would make sense at evading a close to death hit in the same way Scherzo works. But that seems too nice I guess... [Well, if its a debuff doesnt make sense at all so nvm]

**Karbuncle** · 2010-12-01 06:48

Scherzo is a PDT i think.

You're probably thinking of the shitty SMN Bloodpact no one uses cause its shit.

**Fereydoon** · 2010-12-01 06:53

Earthen Armor works the same way Scherzo should, iirc.

I like how we are getting Tier 4/5 nukes up to Ice this update. I was only expecting up to fire. ^^

**Francisco** · 2010-12-01 06:54

So by 90 MNK/WAR can alternate between Focus and Aggressor for Acc Bonus 100% of the time, and Berserk and Impetus for attack bonus 100% of the time, with Crit Rate increase 60% of the time?

Holy shit balls.

I knew it!

Joking aside, I would expect it to be some sort of enmity reduction related effect... like the whole log-distraction cliche.

**CubsWoo** · 2010-12-01 06:58

So since the first set are circles, but these debuff... can we call them Trapezoids?

**mdkuser** · 2010-12-01 07:02

I guess mnk and war are now officially the only dd in the game. Attempt make sch unsuck by giving them level 20 essential spells. Also pup is not a job and cor got another roll that they will not use 100% of the time.

**Deader2818** · 2010-12-01 07:04

Can we just ban Mdkuser as im 100% sure its Pchan using his account to post again >_>

THe hate shed on BLM is nice, but really doesn't mean much in Abyssea at a 10 min recast with Tier 3's hitting naturally for over 1k, and Tier 4's hitting naturally for over 2k.... and now we have Blizz 5, which is awesome.... but it's actually hard NOT to pull hate on BLM. ><

**GeneJackit** · 2010-12-01 07:05

I like that rdm is learning break...cs break now instead of /DRK for stun

Stun is BLM 45. Say goodbye to /DRK.

Edit: No puppet weapon skills is disappointing. Is there even a point in using any frame other than Spiritreaver /Soulsoother?
Other than skill ups my puppet is always on either <.<

**Eldelphia** · 2010-12-01 07:08

The MP > TP thing is awesome for SMN. Giving your avatars more TP = more damage from them. SCH has had some serious buffing here. BLM/SCH becomes viable and alacrity is sick for a BLM, which kinda gets around grav. These days though, grav is the least of your worries in Aby.

Regain roll is insane... I think SE loves DRG, SCH and SMN right now. But wow at MNK...

**Outlaw** · 2010-12-01 07:08

WOW@ some of these! Huh?! Why does Rng get a TH shot? The wording on it is kinda strange.

Bounty Shot (RNG Lv.87 Ability Delay: 5 min.)
Increases the rate at which the target yields treasure.

The rate? Treasure Hunter is "increases the chance" Maybe this was a typo? I just don't understand the concept of a single mob's treasure increasing. What is it going to do? RR so you can kill it again and get more drops than before? >.>

Yeah, Break on RDM is awesome. RDM/NIN just got even sexier with Break & Blizz4 added to their arsenal.

**Lyramion** · 2010-12-01 07:09

WONT SOMEONE GIVE SOMETHING TO MNK FOR ONCE?!... o wait...

Really? I coulda sworn i saw some testing that said Scherzo was a kind of PDT that was negated if wearing PDT Armor.

And Earthern Armor reduced damage from "Heavily Damaging attacks".

I could be wrong

its been a long while since i saw the Scherzo tests

actually 30 seconds isnt right, strategems have always added to 4 minutes, so with 5, they'd be 48 seconds each, still very much looking forward to

**Snprphnx** · 2010-12-01 07:17

inb4 Bounty Shot TH is only a myth...

but really, this looks like fun shit. And about Bounty Shot, TH only exists in Abyssea zones after procing various !! on the mob.

**Juxtaposition** · 2010-12-01 07:18

So, if I want to continue to be a healer in FFXI, should I go level WHM at this point?
