FINAL FANTASY XI Job Adjustmentｓ Manifesto

[Alkar]

The RNG enmity updates would like to have a word with you.

You mean the same updates that showed up again in this Manifesto?

[Kidnoftle]

Forgive me if I've missed it being mentioned, but I'm hoping that SE implements a partial resist of gravity that still implements the lowered evasion without the lowered movement speed. If SE doesn't want to make mobs kite-able I get it. But at least let the enfeeble do half of its job on HNMs and the like.

I support this gravity fix. As for enfeebs on HNMs or w.e., I understand trying to make a mob harder by making most, if not all, serious debuffs not landable to try and make a mob harder, but then it really is just counter-productive to gameplay. I'm not sure if anyone even cares to debuff abyssea mobs (I long since stopped casting anything outside of kura lulz) which is a sad statement in itself. Honestly, the most interesting implementation of debuff resistance was probably in sisy with the aura effect. Slight tweaks like changing mob AI while under certain debuffs is creative and it does add a different dimension to the mob; mostly why I was hoping they would implement more stuff like that, it might actually have a chance to promote different job set ups as well as just multiple equally valid methods to a mob.

I dont know about you but RDM is quiet usefull outside of Abyssea, considering Voidwatch, which is gonna be the endgame we are faceing the next 2 updates. Enfeebs actually matter there and you can actually land them to some degree. Not to mention cure IV is not borderline useless there and can keep Tanks alive actually. Correct me if I'm wrong but a RDM can reach a pritty high cure potency lvl, with all the gear avialable and some introduced augments (zenith feet for example). Of course a whm can still heal better, but RDM has the bonus of Refresh II, because you know MP is not unlimited outside of Abyssea, even with a 7MP/tic idle Refresh set on WHM. I dont know why all people are crying over useless jobs in Abyssea. Abyssea is only temporary and will die off after the next big update or after that. Depending on what gear is introduced in Voidwatch and what progress Empy weapons take with Voidwatch. It will kind of revert to a Dynamis state where you only enter to complete some missing Empy Armor or start a new Empy weapon.

Or enter to gear your job with the best gear in game. Rdm will continue to be a mostly useless healer, especially in most voidwatch. Mp is really still a null issue for 95% of endgame content unless you are trying to solo/duo something with a retarded set up.

Ask the above poster- I think he'd vouch for the fact that I've cared for my gearing of RDM moreso than any of my jobs since the game's inception. Any more though I feel like I could leave the MH with about 30 pieces of gear and there would be no change in my job effectiveness. And for a person who during ToAU honestly felt like 90 slots of active, macro'able gear wouldn't be enough is a sad, sad state of affairs.

[Septimus]

If you`re loosely recalling the old shadow dragons database from beta and early release, you should know that I was in that linkshell, and the original members just sort of made it up.

I am pretty sure that I am not recalling that databse, but the old dat files.

I think I am going to have to do some detective work now...

[Alkar]

Well this pretty much solves the debate I guess.

Hey all! Got a bit of information from the development team about the new avatars that are incoming in a future version update.

While we don't have too many specifics to share because things are still in the planning stages, the current plan is to make Cait Sith an avatar similar to the likes of Carbuncle, where you can go into battle with Cait Sith at your side. Atomos on the other hand would be similar to Odin and Alexander in that he is used solely for his 2 hour ability.

Meh at Atomos.

[Dooom]

Oh god Cait Sith following me around?! I feel my rage at the SE account bullshit subsiding.
