Merit Point Additions(07/22/2006)

I bet MNK gets something like Chakraga.

Because it's so useful, I want it in -Ga form.

If they make it like FFT, it would be.

MP Curaga ftw.

The fuck does his 10 posts have to do with the current topic?

If he had been around at least a month, he would have seen the interview that SE confirmed that this will be in the update. Second, he would have to be down-right stupid to think otherwise. Even Chocobo Breeding and Story is coming in a short time after the update.

I point out his post count because of his comments show that he hasn't been paying attention.

Now that he mentions "doesn't say anything about new jobs getting new merits", which is different from "it doesn't say that this will be in the update", that is somewhat a more intelligent topic.

I hope PLD gets a good damage mitigation job trait or something. I hope at least SE can pleasantly suprise me with several good choices in the group 2 merits.

And I dunno but imo the new jobs are getting new merits with their categories being added at the very least. I know a few things I wouldn't mind meriting on COR.

<Negative Nancy> just more stuff to be called gimp for not having ;(

Damn, been wanting these heretic Blood Pacts for months and months... Still wondering if they're upgradable though, which would mean unlocking all 6 would have them gimp. 4 to 8 abilities and the scroll bar also means there could be 2 abilities as well, or new stuff for Carby/Fenrir for example.

I can't wait to know what PLD will get too. I'd love some sort of Phalanx-thingy or Holy Spikes.

Judging by the size of the scroll bar, I'd say there are 2 other blood pacts off the list, making a total of 6. One from each of the standard elemental avatars. Get 6 gimp ones at 1pt each, test them to find the Predator Claws/Nether Blast of the bunch and dump merits into that one. Eh eh?

As awesome as this update seems, don't forget the power of SE to add totally stupid and useless new abilities for some jobs, it's always nice to be hopeful though. :D

[Yeargdribble]

I really hope they add Massacre Elegy and maybe tier 2 lullabies, but knowing SE BRD will probably get a full compliment of tier 2 Carols or some bullshit like that.

EDIT: commas > me

WTF?

[aers]

All 6 of Bard's abilities are going to be massacre elegy, you have to put 1 point into each and they'll require 10 merits per, but it'll be worth it.

Or am I dreaming

WTF?

that's a strange mix of simultaneously hypnotizing and infuriating

Finally I can xp again :D I had capped merits and xp and was really waiting on this one.

Seeing many choices in category2 is also nice, all I had heard for monk was a "increases maxHP of party" which i really don't care much for.. (Are prepositions good words to end sentences with?)

One thing I really hope they do is make these categories bring more uniqueness, where there isn't an obvious good set choice like the other merits, and it really makes a big impact on how you can play (like jobs or subjobs).
But looking at the example of SMN, if I were a SMN I would kinda want to have all new pacts, just for the pretty animation... Although for best results it only makes sense to put all points on one, and there is probably a single best one between those, based on accuracy or say hNM people fight most etc...

I just realized I'm gonna have to go into friggin hiding this weekend. I'm gonna be harassed to XP like never before.

No, because it's said NEXT 3P for each one so it won't be 1 point. Or maybe you mean unclocking them to level 1. Don't know yet if Blood Pacts follow these rules and will be upgradable too, that would be cool to make it more personal. ^^

Thanks again SE for omgyouusewindowertemporary72hban, i wanted to merit before it came out.

Fuck that just get all and be gimp. U wont use them on HNMs since u already have Predator Claws!.
Also for RDM i wonder what they are adding. Omg FUCKING GIVE US REGEN II!. Some kind of stop or Dia 3.. it would be usefull for merits. ;p
Im really hoping for Tier 2 spells like para/slow/refresh and Reflect.
