No one talked about BLM yet. I love BLM but it's totaly a lost cause in EXP PT. I don't want to debate if its good or not in this or that PT. Fact is no one will inv you unless it's for manaburn.
I'd just like a MUCH bigger puddings camp. A whole zone would be nice. >.> Or more exp spots in other areas like that. I dont see how they are going to make it "work" in a TP burn PT.
One thing i thought would be cool that they were going to give us in the last update would be teir 2 elemental enfeebles. Frost and Drown 2 would basicaly be the same a Madrigal and Minuett. So effectivly you could turn a BLM in to a kind of BRD. Which actulay might make it more apealing to TP burn PT. >.>

[BRP]

If you improve SCs, you improve BLM.

[Khelek]

I laughed at the fact that noone suggested the way you kill JoL in was the way to weaken AV. Now! How about that WAR nerf? Gaxe onry WAR/NINs anyone?

The problem is people's TP burn or nothing mindset. Even if another way is made better, I doubt people will figure it out.

Read again, there is no WAR nerf mentioned.

everyone is all "eww blm" because SC+MB is worse damage overall than spam WS spam WS spam WS.

BLM should do subpar dot without a MB, like they do now. If MB Thundaga III did like 2000-3000 damage to an EXP mob (Adjusted for HNMs of course) then people would invite them.

Trying to set your skillchain is going to result in wasting time and possibly losing your xp chain. Beside, 3k dmg on xp mobs after a skillchain is going to result in a huge waste of dmg. I dont see it being useful anywhere in xp end game

No. It wouldn't make any difference, since exp mobs don't have that high HP and SCs already would make that way overkill. The only way it could work is if either mob Hp was raised or Melee was nerfed.

Its a translation of the interview with Destiny. See other currently 15 page thread.

I pointed the translator to the website and asked for a translation. Valikyule is a native speaker of Japanese and fluent in English. We went to college together so I can vouch for the japanese skill.

No. It wouldn't make any difference, since exp mobs don't have that high HP and SCs already would make that way overkill. The only way it could work is if either mob Hp was raised or Melee was nerfed.

Or make monsters strong against 'normal damage' and take triple to four times more damage with SCs.

[spooky]

One of the things that really anoyed me when I got BLM to 75, like 2 years ago, when you could actualy do "normal" PTs. Is that there were no (or very few) IT mobs, that you need to whack away at, get TP, SC, MB, dead, repeat -- becasue everything expable bacialy becomes VT at that level.
By the time you get enough TP to do a SC the mob is so dead that you are MBing on the last like 2-3% of its HP... making the MB totaly pointless.

What would be nice, (yes I know they added a few places like this) would be spots that you can melee, build TP, SC, and need a MB that will actualy take off a fat chunk of remaining HP to kill it. As this is going to take a bit of time to setup and organise (in comparison to TP brun) the mob should give very good exp, 300+.

This would help BLMs out alot. So far any of the places that they did add, are not going to compete in the above way surgested with TP burn EXP.

Qutrub

the problem with those is they are still not comprable to the exp/hr of TP burn. And so getting any melee to perform said SC for your MB and kill is not gona happen.
<< Hi NIN, WAR, (insert other melee here), PT on Qutrub?
>> Get fucked.
