New ToUA Information.

[Nirokun!]

6 cor in zone, PT assemble

activate 2hr, gain exp buff

disband

join your regular PT

holy crap lol

Would that be the 2hr? I would think wild card would be the 2hr.

But anyways, what if you are in a WAR party with COR WHM BRD. The WAR's are dicks enough to say 'ok BRD and WHM drop, so we can either get att buff or xp buff. DROP NOW OR YOU'RE KICKED'. And then reinvite them after the corsair uses phantom roll.

janice, you've forgotten the power we have to influence other people, havent you? You need only speak /tell to the bard to make sure no cures get put out, and they'll all die. I dont mind being kicked from a PT to show people that a whm still has a wonderful control in a PT, people forget this.

"give me a raise or you'll be kicked"

"really now? well im not going to raise you, so kick me, go ahead, do it"

"..."

"Well?"

"i cant kick you unless im raised"

"not my problem. Hey Spoonybardssj, wanna keep PTing?"

"sure"

"3 wars, 3 mnks, and a rdm seeking, traditional war pt or traditional mnk PT, whats your pleasure?"

"FUCKING RAISE ME"

"i dont care, either or is fine"

"aklfjsdalkgjaktljaklf"

"I think they're cybering on the ground together, we should go :3"

"lol"

Janice, darling, remember you dont have to be the victim (*'3')

Edit: Always remember kiddies, cures arent a right, they're a privilege

Amazing info, PUP especially looks quite fun now.

Who wants to take bets that PUP will be underpowered endgame and BLU will be overpowered once equipped with the right spells?

[anoush]

me lol

[Lordwafik]

wtf will Corsair make BRD give the pt? Resist silence?

WAR -> dmg accuracy up

Could be anything

[Lordwafik]

I thought that came with being an elvaan

[Faranim]

Based on the amazingly random stats given on BRD Gear, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if BRD gave +Parrying... which might actually be useful for a change.

What.The.Fuck.

Kaworu's making a reference to what the mog house npcs in sandy say to you if you aren't from that country.

I'm still kinda skeptical about this info and I hope SE confirms it all where everyone can read it. Also, if Blu gets A- in sword skill I wonder if they'll get Swift Blade along with Pld... Wouldn't be the first time though if a job didn't get a SP skill despite having A- or higher in a weapon category.

[Kaylia]

As long BLY don't get ridill ....before I do.

[Amara]

If bluemage gets vorpal and swift blade, without having to use ridiculous subjobs and has access to some acceptable melee gear, I think I'll be leveling it for sure. It sounds amazingly versatile, pretty much what I wish pld was like, an actual hybrid class.

Probably too good to be true, but I can dream until they update equipment files and I can figure out what kind of gear the job can actually use.

[Elemmire]

Awesome info, but one thing perplexed me: why would anyone think BLU is "everything RDM should have been"?

Because:

BLU:
- casting magic uses MP, each magic also has level restrictions
- special ability "Argel Law", increases effectiveness of blue magic for set time (Magic Accuracy, even COR Phantom Roll indicates what RDM's orientation in abilities is.)
- ability "Blue Chain" allows you to use physical-type blue magic in skillchains
- ability "Blue Burst" allows you to use magic-type blue magic in magic bursts (depending on for how much BLU can MB, this could be just another DRK Black Magic strength)
- status of char changes depending on the blue magic chosen
- lv75 sword skill: 269 blue magic skill: 276, (could be affected by magic equipped though)

The bolded parts should give you a hint. RDM sword skill is 250 at 75. Everything sans Physical dmg spells is RDMesque, except for Refresh. As discussed in another thread, RDM is Combat Caster by design, yet falls back on being Refresh whore, nothing more in EXP PTs or during HNM fights.

Personally, I feel cheated.

As a RDM.. I agree T.T

- ability "Blue Burst" allows you to use magic-type blue magic in magic bursts (depending on for how much BLU can MB, this could be just another DRK Black Magic strength)

I bet it just lets you use them in MB and SC, not enhancing them. So while a RDM can MB whenever, I wonder if a BLU can only MB when the timer is up or only SC when the timer is up. Otherwise the magic or skill will just be solo.

I'm thinking the same thing. Might be something like a 5 minute timer for each so you can't SC or MB all the time. I'm also willing to bet those would be two of the BLU specific merit options (recast time on chain/burst).

Based on the amazingly random stats given on BRD Gear, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if BRD gave +Parrying... which might actually be useful for a change.

Funny that you mention that because a BRD in my linkshell wants BRD switched to A+ parry and 4 parrying up traits >_> lol

Exactly, it would have to be this way. Why? Simple, have 2 BLU in party and you can skillchain whenever you want. That is what we call broken.

Having ablities that baiscally limit how much you can SC and MB is the only way to stop abusing them. These abilities don't enhance BLU, they prevent the job from being overpowered.

edit: oh and they would be able to SC with their weapons too. I'd imagine if they could sc or mb whenever they had the mp and tp, I would see multi BLU parties everywhere.
