feeling orgasmic at what the full set must look like stat wise

meh Rare/Ex sucks

[Celeras]

Read it again dumbass, I was referring to the amount of TP the mob would get.

Again, thats how it was it used to be... and they changed it. My point remains the same.

[Not Kuno]

rofl

Yeah, can't rmt it. God that sucks. You might have to actually have skill and a ls that doesn't blow. /sigh

The amount of TP accumulated when attacking a monster has changed for both the player and the monster.

10 gil says that multi-hit weapons only deliver 1 TP on hits after the first.

That hat looks nice but as for the set bonus... so what? There are already many mage tunics that grant that, + RDM hat, + the perpetuation cost reductions from various summoner items. The other peices are going to have to be utterly fucking awesome to make you want to equip the set.

I would applaud this, actually.

Best thing other than SE tinkering with a few jobs and making some ToA stuff right:

Me getting my income taxes done on the last day and making my piece of shit collage of a sig.

If someone wants to help me actually make something decent, let me know, because I can't do any kind of graphic design worth shit and don't feel like spending the time to learn how.

Speaking from a NIN and MNK standpoint....I hope they left the TP floor alone.

Speaking from an outside person's standpoint...it's broken and should be removed.

As for TP given to mobs, it would be nice if the TP the mob gains is based on how much damage your attack/spell/BP does. Let's say you hit Fafnir for 50 damage, he gets 1-2 TP. A BLM bursts for ~1600, he gets 25 tp (iuno, random numbers). It would help the balance issue a bit, even if it's not as much as we melee hoped for.

Monks usually don't break tp floor, nin's do a bit. But thf is the biggest tp floor abuser of jobs. If they broke that...my thf would definately be a lot weaker.

Good monks break the TP floor if they have destroyers. TP floor = ~360 combined delay; good monks run at 348 + a shitload of haste.

The thought that multihit weapons returning 1tp for additional hits is interesting, in-line with previous changes, and makes kraken (and to some extent, ridill) a whole lot less good.

The other job updates (mentioned in at the Fan Festival) will happen at a later update after ToA is released.

(i'm guessing mid/late summer)

/em looks at number of people he have to lot against and sighs

Oh btw is it still 1 gil to RMT your mom?!

[Lylie]

Great notes, but one thing stood out for me (other than the things that have already been mentioned):

You thought elemental staves and BRD instruments were bad?

= inventory nightmare

This new job doesn't look so sexy all of a sudden 3 jobs at 75 plus PUP gear and Automaton's gear...

Haste doesn't effect tp floor at all. 348 delay when tp floor is 360 is nothing. I run at 262 delay on my thief, not counting haste.

It wouldn't break Ridill, Ridill would still do great DoT, just a few less rampages, making War slightly less broken.

There'll still be 1 use left for Kraken Club if that's what they did:
Dark Knight

Hot.

[Janeru]

I want to see how to /get/ the new gear... anyone else realize it's rare/ex ? I thought they weren't adding any new endgame content.

[Stanislav]

does this mean todays patch will let us see what jobs can use what gear?

[umisame]

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/update...vPh1/03_us.jpg

set: refresh of 1mp, 3mp or 5 mp?

If refresh is:
- 1mp its a really shit.
- 3mp could be good but as smn it isnt the best option with avatar out.
- 5mp could be very very good but to get the full set will be more than impossible.

[Norelco]

Wow, those PLD updates brought a tear of joy to my eye.

[Wizerd]

Yes.

[Zetah]

This patch makes me happy, being a 75 PLD and 75 NIN. But I hope they don't nerf my kraken club. I'm still leveling DRK and all, but it'd still suck.
