More upcoming job changes (not from Fanfes)

[Eltia]

About SMN Lv.75 BP. My understanding of reading the source is that currently development intentionally restrain the power of these BPs. But they do realize these BPs got resisted a bit and their power is kind of not up to par (i.e. they suck), so they are considering adjusting these Lv.75 BPs. There were no mentioning of adjustment to the other BPs.

About the credibility of the source. The website itself seems credible (judging from the other news they reported there in the past and now, they seem reasonably authentic). I couldn't lock down on the original source in 2ch though (there are a gazillions of thread there); only a partial recap of the source could be found.

NB: 2ch is well known to be the underground BBS for the JPs. So some discretion when reading materials from there are advised.

They should rename it 2chan, then team up with 4chan to make 6chan, the one-stop uber JP BBS.

!!! >.> I know about all those things, but you could be a conventional healer with or without /WHM now if such a thing is added. :D (minus the useful DS)

Assuming White Wind removes status ailments, which sounds unlikely. As it is even without WHM sub BLU are better healers than SMN if you ignore status ailments.

I made this chart as a joke for the thief forums, but every joke has some truth to it.

SE need to somehow put everyone on the blue line, if not, the red line, because that's how the game is in my eyes.

If these are real and not fan created job changes, i'm happy for my bst for merit2 upping to 5, then I'll finally have a lvl75 froggy pet.

[Insanecyclone]

I agree with those >_> it's been hell leveling sam to 75 again than it was my first time playing this and shouldn't the green like be up just a little more? >_>;

[Xavier]

Looks like the game is pretty balanced around lvl 50.

ROFL, that is the most honest chart I have ever seen about FFXI!

no wai. 37 it looks like to me

The original game ended at level 50.

Coincidence?!

[NynJa]

If one thing, even something as great as a Ridill, makes or breaks you, you are a shitty player. If it doesn't, stop being so insecure and paranoid about it that you derail any conversation to mention it.

Ridill would break my thief a lot more than it would make it

[DeadLegend]

ridill would sit in storage with my drk af2s.

[Eternus]

The claimed "broken" aspects of Ridill are related to the sword skill of jobs that can equip it (or how much +sword skill they have to compensate). That makes the fact that it hits multiple times for TP building more viable. Ridill isn't a multi hitting weapon in the hands of a user with 300+ skill.. only MNKs do that lawl. Sword skill and TP utilization of BLU's physical spells are why its not equippable by BLU... BLU is bordering on overpowered already in certain applications. DRK with Kraken Club however is insane on HNM.

Ridill is fine as it is, other weapons need to be buffed in my opinion... specifically some of the relic weapons. Especially GA (either that or the utilization of GA by WAR), Staff (make this shit make sense for normal BLM/SMN damn you), Club (how the hell does this make someone a better healer?.. that is what WHM is for). The others might need buffs as well to differing degrees to make them a little better than easier to obtain alternatives. Too many people think of end game gear in terms of merits/xp... you can only merit so long. I should know... I have easily over 100 merits poured into BRD and I haven't gone merit pting in maybe 2 months. End game gear isn't needed to get insane merits anyway, and if you merit with upgrades in mind to make merits easier to get... I lol at you.

[Eaglestrike]

For relics, all weapons should be at least as strong as the next 'tier' of weapon. Katana is sitting at 42 damage, which is hardly better than Fudo or something, it should be 45-48, closer to a swords max damage.

Relics should be upgraded even more, but uhh, can't ask for too much more from Mandau honestly, best DMG/Delay so far and a strong WS, so I won't be asking for anything from it unless the others get boosted above it

If Ridill was to be 'nerfed' it should be the extra hits are 1tp. That would keep Ridill as a strong DoT weapon but not be completely broken, which I think is pretty fair.

Then you'll get vaginas crying "Waawaa they can do so much dmg and not give mobs any TP, it's broken" ala BLM.

The 1 tp probably would be full tp to the mob. Like WSes.

Actually WSes only give TP for each full-tp hit that the player makes. So the 1tp hits are essentially free.

[Quicklet]

I'd rather see it easier to upgrade more relics and keep the strength approximately the same (perhaps slight modifications to to some).

[RKenshin]

I want to see all relics with the "Occasionally attacks 2-3 times" description.. Then they'd really be worth something.

Or at least attacks twice.
