Level Cap Increase (11/17/2011)

[Lordender]

Man, SE trolled the hell out of people with that stuff.

[Kyte]

Not BLU, lol!

[Draginhikari]

The BLU and BST in me is quite happy... the PLD main inside of me though probably a little less Hah.

[catfat]

I thought sch was gonna get aspir 2

[Spira]

it does feel a little incomplete. are there no new JA or JT at all? the only new JAs mentioned are BPs and rolls.

[Isiolia]

If their plan was to get people excited for 99, they failed. Except maybe for BLUs.

They're putting in new native WS though right? I mean, they're long overdue (close to 100 skill past the last set at this point), and could potentially change a lot. Or suck horribly. Still, something everyone has to look forward to I suppose.

God, I swear if someone who shall not be fucking named on the official forum says Fenrir's ability justifies his mistaken as fuck belief that SMN should melee... I will kill kittens.

Tahngarthor?

[Byrthnoth]

'prolly Dallas. Tahngarthor is tame by comparison.

[SargentRemora]

What's been found in the dats and what SE have posted makes me think there is more to announce. The Light Elemental nuke for BLM wasn't in the list, nor was Meteor which was promised when they announced the Level Cap rise and a few times since. I also find it very hard to believe that SE expect SMNs to use the same offensive Blood Pacts at 99 as they did at 75, but who knows.

[Forte]

Tahngarthor?

Fuck you mean there's more than one of those retards that want melee SMN?

[Toth]

Meteor and Arise as the new meritable tier 3s? ><

Nah, they are probably just putting the first batch of stuff for testing and working on fine tuning the rest for their eventual testing. I hope.

Why does this keep getting brought up like its something significant that matters? For the purpose of my argument, I'm referring to general use, not situational use:
War's were, and still are if they lack Ukko's, a lv60 WS (unless cleaving)
Sam's are still spamming a lv66 WS, who uses Agetha?
Ninja's are still spamming Jin if they dont have a Kannagi (which is probably pretty rare in itself), who uses Yu?
Thieves use either a lv60 or 71 WS (I still find my DE's are more reliable than my evis).
Whens the last time a drg used Sonic Thrust? Wheeling Thrust? Implulse Drive? Yeah thought so.

Even when StoneV/WaterV came out, what were blm's casting? Benefited by merits, yes, but I'm pretty sure it wasnt Stone/WaterV.

Cor's are using a lv40 JA...cure6 never gets used outside abyssea.. etc etc

if there are new WSs they probably will suck.

On another note, this list is totally ass. BLUs must be happy tough

[Classikmage]

That 4th familiar picture for BST is kinda funny. That's gonna be awesome seeing BST's run around with little baby frogs attacking shit. <.<;

Cataclysm is pretty good. Aeolian Edge is pretty good. Fell Cleave is pretty good. Sanguine is decent.

New WS's don't have to replace old ones as the "WS to be spammed", especially since a decent portion of those WS's are tied to special weapons. I don't know how happy people with those weapons would be if their WS's got 1-upped, but it's still a possibility that could happen. For everything else, there's nothing wrong with decent utility WS's, which is what most of the new ones have been.

I'd be happy with a elemental h2h ws.

[catfat]

I'm surprised staff doesn't have a good damage ws by now

[Julian]

Yeah, staff could really use like a 5-hit crit ws or something, lol.

[Priran]

page 1: fucking melee SMNs, I bet they use this as an excuse to melee
page 2: we really need a good staff WS

Because SMN is the only job that uses staves.

What's wrong with giving staff a WS like hexa for clubs? (minus the job exclusivity) It's mostly just a for-fun type weapon since there's no job that really specializes in it. (I still think a battle-staff type martial artist type job woulda been cool )
