Sounds nice honestly. But I'm wondering how they are gonna adjust warrior's/assassin's charge for example... double/triple attack damage up per merit?

[scaevola]

Id have to think about it but i dunno if this would really change merits around for many jobs. I mean, you could get a nice little bonus now having stuff at 5/5 that you already have anyways.

Probably not in most cases, since an ability worth getting was usually an ability worth putting five points into.

It all depends on the enhancements, of course, but it could change some stuff for jobs with already-strong Group 2s, thinking specifically DNC.

Unless Fold/Snake eye get some kind of nice bonus at 5/5, I guess i'll finally be putting merits into winning streak.

[Septimus]

Very interesting. I guess Devotion will have a better HP to MP ratio at 5/5. (All of the mages are going to want to be the object of Atum's Devotion from now on.) I wonder what enlightenment is going to do with higher merits.

[Selamis]

Devotion and Chivalry has me kinda excited, Warrior's Charge as well, if they can boost that up further than double next attack at 5/5. Kinda meh at Fealty depending what it does. Did they ever say how many points the new category adjustments will have? Would be sort of lame if they just allowed you to add one extra point for the bonus traits after 5/5 for time reduction.

[Byrthnoth]

There's no "new category." They're just changing what merit levels past the first do.

I see they only mentioned abilities, so going to assume that leaves out spells. No max duration Phalanx II, Dia/Bio III for RDMs at one point to possibly give them the freedom to pick up all spells for trigger purposes and not feel so bad about it compromising the ones that are useful.

[Selamis]

Oh, I misunderstood. My bad.

[Forte]

So "Fuck you SMN" as usual.

Also I thought the Staff WS was still decent. Is it not?

[Kaisha]

Great, no changes to RDM cat2 then. ;/

Dia 3 merits feel so wasteful at anything below 3/5 due to shit duration.

[fantasticdan]

I'm guessing additional diffusion merits will increase the duration of the buff? Can't see what else it could do.

Not thinking like square.
Increase the range of diffusion.

That's also no Enhancements to AM2, making them still useful only for procs.

Although if they're enhancing all JAs where the recast is lowered the more you merit them, how the hell would they enhance Enlightenment?

[Fwahm]

Next spell after Enlightenment has a fast cast or potency bonus?

[Yukari]

Reduces/eliminates penalty associated with casting in the wrong arts while under enlightenment?

Reduce enmity on the spells? Conserve MP effect? Casting time? Chance of Quick Magic? There are a few possibilities. After reading about the weapon skills, I am expecting disappointment.

i guess they will go the no more penalty route if you have it at 5/5. because now you recieve the penaltys depending under which art you are. (they might also make it maybe a quickcast?)

on another note if the new shurikens are cheap to synth sange might finally become an ability you can use everytime!

[Nameless]

5/5 diabolic eye would be pretty sweet if they increase the accuracy boost to 40 (if each merit after the first gives 5).
