Yeah, dunno why but I thought the same after Mioko's post, that we might see the hammer now.

There's already one type in-game, and Simurgh shares the model with them. Among the other XII enemies returning so far are the Mirrorknights. Also the Wooly Gator, as mioko mentioned.

Woah, increased potency.

they put all these infos in the new benchmark? did they want people to datemine them or why would they put them in the benchmark lol?

looks like Arcanist has many abilitys to get mp back, so i guess they will need more mp then whm/blm for spells/pets?
tank carbuncle is interesting, inb4 4man arcanist low lvl dungeon burn with carby tanks lol >_>

I'm pretty sure it was intentional. Yoshi-P was talking about .dat mining in previous interviews. I'm just curious if pets drain MP when they are out. I hope the MP abilities are just because they'll be doing lots of casts as debuff/buff jobs respectively.

From a PLD's perspective, all of the changes look pretty solid, even Shield Oath's nerf I can agree with. I didn't expect any changes to Riot Blade, but with the increased potency, it may be viable to use it more frequently when you have a solid grasp on threat for the extra damage. Could make the early levels less monotonous as a GLA. And Thank God Circle of Scorn got buffed.

It's somewhat surprising SE's answer to PLD's 1.0 problem is to just give them more damage. Sword Oath could be pretty cool to use now. +50 Potency is nothing to scoff at.

Second Wind looks like a mainstay, and holy shit @ Keen Flurry's buff.

Looks like it's the registration for the early access, not p4, which means we might hopefully get p4 sooner than the pessimists think?

**Carth** · 2013-08-02 10:27

It's just registration for early access. I wouldn't estimate anything from that. Giving everyone a month to place in their early access code seems like a good deal.

**Spider-Dan** · 2013-08-02 10:57

Some of the datmined info on cross-classable skills is confusing and/or contradictory. Still trying to find out the status on:

Stone
Aero
Cleric Stance
Thunder
Thunder II
Ruin
Bio

It seems like SE introduced a lot of arbitrary cockblocks on cross-classing compared to B3. SCH can use Cleric Stance but THM and ACN can't?

This is really all there is to it, I think.

**Scythiroth** · 2013-08-02 11:00

THM never needed Cleric's Stance to begin with (and it caused a lot of people to think they could put their points into mind even though BLM couldn't use Cleric's Stance >.>), but ACN not getting it is kinda weird.

**Spider-Dan** · 2013-08-02 11:10

I was actually looking forward to Cleric Stance on THM (I did not unlock BLM as I hate BLM in every FF, and originally leveled THM for Sacrifice III and Siphon MP II).

**Niiro** · 2013-08-02 11:13

Either the new listings for cross class availability are incomplete or they're changing how the system works entirely.

Previously skills were either cross class usable or they weren't, not restricted to only being used on certain other classes. Jobs were simply limited to the cross class skills of 2 particular classes rather than all of them.

(also cleric stance does not do what it did in 1.0, you would not use it on THM)

Precisely. In B3 I dumped all my points into MND and would have used THM as a bootleg RDM.
