Job Adjustments (12/01/2006)

[Mashu]

I think I'm liking that Absorb spell casting time reduction more for NIN/DRK than DRK main.

Do you really have that much MP to spare with DRK sub?

You need to learn to read, noone made the claim BLU are broken how they are, the claim was made that a Job Trait converting damage into MP on BLU would be broken.

In short: Go back to ZAM.

These updates suck, where are the nerfs? I want to bitch about something

you can bitch about the jobs (read: job) not getting anything period since like RotZ

Of you can go the extra mile and be like Flux and just bitch for the sake of bitching.

Or you can be like Septimus with his head shoved so far up his ass he's been brain dead from lack of oxygen for two years.

Update Septimus would like:
- We've added the ability "I Win" to all jobs. Using this 30 second reuse ability will kill all monsters in the zone for full XP and loot. Enjoy your free abilities.

Update Flux would like:
- Remember Limbus? We made something 5x harder with more frequent loot drops, which will improve your character, and you're going to need them 6 months from now when we make something even harder! Enjoy actually playing the game.

Because BLU aren't totally broken yet amirite

Hey, I can be hopeful. XD Not really broken per-se outside of certain exp mobs and lolballista. I put out low as shit dmg on BLU/NIN in Northernlands Dynamis and sea NMs. BLU/THF is crazy shit tho.

Actually why dont you try reading, since I didnt address anyone by name, you can save your attitude for someone else. I was commenting on the above bolded quote, and not even being offensive, more like a sarcastic rant. So get over yourself.

In short: Youre a nobody

I have like 100-120 or so MP on NIN/DRK, but the standard songs are March/Ballad II since most of the time I tank with a PLD/NIN, and I'll always have at least Refresh.

With Refresh and Ballad 2 I basically hover at full MP using Stun every 22 seconds. I'll usually have enough MP to throw in Bind whenever it's up as well, and depending on how hate is balanced between me and the other tank(s) I'll throw in occasional Absorb spells too. I think on average for something like Tiamat I use like 2 Absorb spells a flight/landing.

In other situations I use Sleep over Absorb, but not on mobs that may need to be slept and develop a resistance.

Are people still saying Blu is broken/overpowered. I thought that was only on the ALLA boards. Who cares about Balista enough to cry for a nerf of a job??? Who cares about being able to kill LOLimps with terrible DEF in the Mire? Sure blu can pump out big pretty numbers to make people go "oooh" and "Ahhh", but so what. They cant keep up that steady amount of dmg in the long run because they are limited by the hate they will get, and the MP that will run out quickly if they even think of trying to spam in party settings. Sure i can pump out 1.5-6k dmg on a exp mob or certain NMs. Still doesnt make me come close to dotting the numbers of Nins, wars, Sams and mnks so theirs no threat to those jobs like the ppl on that damn Alla forum keep screaming for blu nerf. Their main reason being ballista.... yet they forget the official ballista design is not for 1 man army pwn everything. It was about teamwork. SO, so what if theres a job that YOU cant solo in a 1 on 1 fight. Who said yorue supposed to be able to solo anything you come accross. Do what people do to my Rdm/nin in ballista... GANG UP ON IT. Is it really that hard in ballista to say "HEY GUYS... Theres a Blu over here... Lets jump it" ?? Or does everyoneand their momma get mad that "OMGz Nerf that job, because IM unable to beat it up on my own beause i want to be a one man army". So besides the ballista debate, and some lame T mob able to be solod by a few jobs alrdy mean its overpowered and broken? especially when im limited by MP, and cant keep up with dots of Wars, Sams, Nins, Mnks in exp setting? Or is this "broken blu" debate really only on Alla? Do people want them to add only useless jobs that are weak? Whats wrong with a job that pretty powerful?

holy shit..clif notes plz

Please, please don't nerf my precious BLU spells and abilities. I... I just get so nervous and scared and then I start yelling and...
I'm sorry...

Obviously since I made a joke picture about Entornadoga II that must mean that I want that in the game. No no. I think you mean this...

Update Flux would like:
- Absolutely nothing so you are completely justified with your annoying, ceaseless, unyielding, endless, infinite bitching, moaning, complaining, belly-aching, whining, and sobbing.

Do you honestly think that you fool anyone with what you said? If they introduced your 5x harder Limbus you would do nothing but cry that it is five time harder. You sir are a misery chick, you are among the elite whiners who can find the negative in anything- rainbows, sun sets, the laughter of children, kittens playing with balls of yarn- it seems to me that you revel in your own misery and the misery that your misery inflicts upon others or you would have quit this game ages ago.

I like where this is going

I think I'm liking that Absorb spell casting time reduction more for NIN/DRK than DRK main.

Shame the most useful Absorb Spell can't be attained as a sub, yohoho!

That face in your avatar and that response just fit so perfectly together. I physically lol'd for the first time in this shittyass day.

[Mr.City]

Oh goodie, the derail is in full swing.

I'm pretty sure he only cares about it for Hate and not actually landing the spells.

That would be Sho, who is about the most pimped BLU I know of on the forums. Full BLU Merits/Homam/Win. I'd be more inclined to take his word for it than bother reading more than two lines of that verbal diarrhoea you posted.

I know bringing up someone's post count is frowned upon, but does a 6-post new member calling someone else a nobody make it ok?

[Excalin Garisk]

Does if your BRP...oh wait he got temp-banned

[Ninjiz]

Please, please don't nerf my precious BLU spells and abilities. I... I just get so nervous and scared and then I start yelling and...
I'm sorry...

hehe i like that Though I wasnt yelling, or atleast i hope that most people didnt think i was yelling

[Ninjiz]

I know bringing up someone's post count is frowned upon, but does a 6-post new member calling someone else a nobody make it ok?

Not when the original comment/insult came from someone with a 65-post count

and in this case "nobody" = "who the hell are you to be telling anyone to go back anywhere?"

[LD]

I like where this is going

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called comedic timing.
Bravo.

I honestly dont care what you want to read or not, you dont have to, yes its that simple. Again who are you again? If you dont "get" what the post was about, thats your own fault, and i simply shouldnt have to explain the whole thing to you. Its not that hard to figure out that i wasnt saying anyone sepcific in THIS thread said to nerf blu. Jesus, once again get over yourself.

I'm pretty sure he only cares about it for Hate and not actually landing the spells.

Considering he can only get CHR, AGI and VIT as a sub, the fact they don't give much hate at all, have a longer recast and cost more MP than Stun, really makes me wonder why he would resort to them to keep hate...
