Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Teryu]

Has there ever been any mechanic in the game that has allowed us to do that though? I can't think of any.

[BerenTebogo]

Nah but I understand it all now.

Garuda readies Shadow Flare.

I'm not sure what the notes mean when they say geo will choose the area of effect. Will it let us target areas instead of mobs or something?

Maybe it's something about the new "area of effect display" thing they added a couple of patches ago.
It doesn't work completely with Gearswap/Shortcuts atm, so a lot of players probably didn't even notice it.

Or it could be a change like finally allow geo-buffs to be cast on enemy targets, and geo-debuffs to be cast on friendly targets. But I doubt it honestly.

[Teryu]

Ohh that would be pretty cool.

[Tidis]

Well if it's only going to 15, I already have 200 JP stored on my WHM mule so I'll be able to cap out 3 categories.

65 JP needed to go from 10-15.

[Sechs]

Tbf nobody knows how much they're gonna cost.
Most people are assuming a standard increase of 11-12-13-14-15, but it could also be higher or even cap at 10. We won't know until the patch day. If I had to bet my money it would be on the 11-12-13-14-15 though.

Odd, I thought Temper already scaled with skill.

[Byrthnoth]

It does. I don't know wtf they mean by that one.

[Maurauc]

Really hoping here (Probably not going to happen, but) maybe at certain enhancing magic tiers, it turns into double and triple attack effects, then double/triple/quadruple attacks?

That would be a massive gain for RDM soloers, inb4 the bad melee RDM moaning because enhancing is difficult to cap.

Perhaps it means they're doing similar to what they did with Warrior's DA JT?
"Lowering" thresholds so that there is a lot more double attacking?
(They also seem to have forgotten that RUN also gets Temper, and with higher JPs it will be "easier" to reach that 550.)

And it seems like they may have ditched the whole supernerf BST thing.... Maybe.
They could just be hiding it since it's negative... But "pet skill chain properties will be adjusted" is positive sounding enough that those not paying attention could see it as a buff.
Lots of day1 surprises in store.

[Byrthnoth]

IIRC the cap for Temper was 500 skill (20% DA). Perhaps they're raising it to 550 and translated it wrong?

[fantasticdan]

That's the only thing I could think of when I read it. The note isn't any better in the JP post.

[Sechs]

They could have also changed the "potency" of the tiers.
I still don't get the SMN's thing either. Someone said in the JP post it mentions "Avatar's Favor"? But I'm not getting how reducing the current CD of 5 mins is gonna be any beneficial though, so probably it's something else?
Yesterday they mentioned Apogee's timer, maybe that's the one they're reducing?

[Damane]

It does. I don't know wtf they mean by that one.

maybe instead of granting only DAs with higher skill it also enables TA andQA?

[Toth]

More PUP love!

[dasva]

Well just looked up the jp post for the abjuration/hexed and google translates seems just as vague really. Checked the jp thread on it and they are just as confused

[Zieara]

The translation on the job changes post... my god it's bad.

That is what I was thinking, that is pretty cool if so.

As long as we're all equally confused, I'm all for it lol.
