Battle System Adjustments (03/05/2007)

[Rag]

Kc drk vs HNM dark seal+drainII with full hp will owns

Thats extra 50~dmg a hit or so lol (if the drain is 300~) since drainI one with seal can do (300~ with dark staff vs hnm although there is no hp boost)

however drainII may do higher damage?

soloing nin just got even better

[Popsiclestick]

Small note, I guess any up and coming BLU's will have an easier time juggling their MP and TP

[JMunin]

I wish they would do more small adjustments that do more housekeeping fixes that make it all around easier and more enjoyable to do everyday activities. Farming keys and seals in the Middle Lands seems all the more appealing.

Still though, an xp bonus for the Middle Lands geared toward 6-man/merit parties would still be welcome. They could scale the bonus according to nation rank. 1st: 15%, 2nd: 10%, 3rd: 5%. Something along those lines.

[Xavier]

Its kind of funny if you consider everything, an xp bonus for less people in the party would've made more sense in ToAU zones, whereas a straight xp bonus in the older content would've been welcomed.

I just don't think anyone will seriously be out killing things in a party of 3 at lv 40 in Crawler's Nest or anything. Sounds pretty good for really low levels though.

[tyraravenlocke]

Drain II... is a dark knight spell.

/goddamnit.

But yes, the way that they have setup the spell it does in fact make perfect sense.. but man.. a long held hope of someday getting drain and aspir II as blm just went poof.

Congrats Dark's, it almost seems like SE is endorsing SE + Kraken... which is strange but should be even funner now.

Kinda, but moving the Kraken Club to a BC and giving it a 0.01% droprate isn't much of an endorsement.

[TT]

dread spikes look like something a HNM is gonna use.

go go more BLM and RNG damage.

[Ryko]

Oh... yay...

[Matricide]

Oh... yay...

pretty much..

[divisortheory]

I'd like to echo what everyone said before a single update detail had been released, and state how absolutely horrible this update is going to be.

[SassiAsura]

Those spikes look kinda tasty for a KClub drk pulling hate as well.
And it'll take a lot to get me to start resting in party... force of habit will have me fear losing tp if I do.

[Nirokun!]

i wonder if you lose tp with signet if yo uchange weapons lol (probably ) no resting with my pluto's !

and they stole my idea of overcuring giving temporary max hp based on overcure

oh well

*waits for smn/whm/blm update, and maybe a few new blu spells*

[Spira]

I want aspir2 -.-

BLM whining about wanting new stuff / not getting anything - check XD

[izembo]

the signet bonuses arent anything special, also seems like they wont all be in affect at once, you have to chose like the sanction bonuses.

[Spira]

seems like it.

a pity cos i think no TP loss and hHP bonus would go together really nicely

[Onel]

If SE is listening to zam boards, then seeing PLD getting their own new spells isnt unlikely.

Hi2yu Flash2 and Holy spikes.

Hilarious I know, but flash 2 in and of itself would cement PLD/NIN even more so, and people could begin to yell "nerf PLD"

::crosses fingers::

[Burginator]

Meh.

I like the sound of this Drain II.

[Siatdiat]

The adjustments made to improve player accuracy and attack versus monsters of a higher level, as well as the measures implemented to benefit full parties and prevent unfair pulling practices, have made it difficult for smaller groups to cooperate efficiently against weaker opponents.

So before ToAU there was alot of "small group xp parties"? I find this confusing. Anyways, all I see here is a ZAM change, I dont remember people starting threads on BG about "ZOMG its hard to xp!11 /cry". People complain here about the lack of progression. On the bright side, im pretty sure its having signet that gives the acc/eva bonuses and other stuff, so... it will work in a standard 6 person party. Its just that at the same time small groups will get a "small" buff to the xp they get killing mobs. Its a nice change I guess but too bad for people with Maats cap huh? Oh and someone saying that youll only get one buff probably, I actually think they will all active at once. Only time will tell I guess.

[Damane]

Kinda, i dont see myself xping in old area with 3-4 people. Could be cool for small manabur if it apply to ToA area, but refresh/15%xp bonus is probably still better than 20% xp bonus.


On the other hand, increased def/acc against hnm is going to be sexy. Maybe we will finally be able to kill AV

I think they implemented this to help newer players and people taht are lvling another job to lvl 75. Its very hard to get full PTs togehter sometimes in earlier lvls, especially in EU prime time.

It's pretty awesome for BST. And decent when you lose that 6th guy and waiting on a replacement.

btw, I also think they'll all be active at once. Also, the evasion and defense bonus will be great when you're soloing.
