Job Adjustments

[Moosey]

Thief

New JA "Accomplice" - it will steal a PT member enmity and transfer to himself. Used with perfect dodge or to help a mage in trouble.

So i can be a WHM jackass and do Divine Seal Curaga 4 - just to make the THF get all hate?

or the thf can just let you die :D

[Rakshaka]

This ability is only to be used on a pld after he uses invincible :D

[Aymee]

RDM: I hope this is a practical joke. That, or they're trying to make WHM look more appealing as a 'favorite' healer again via the fact that the average idiot RDM will melee and turn into horrible healing/support. Actually, why not just let WHMs melee too so we always fight in a cluster of 6 instead of having a 'mage area'! ...So I guess BRD and COR are the only two specific support jobs now? ...Like how WAR and PLD are supposed to be the only specific tank jobs if SE had their way?
In any case, great. Now getting a random pickup mages that won't get you killed on the first pull will be even harder. Tell the RDMs to lvl BLU, christ.

WAR: Searain has always been obsessed with WAR tanking. His excitement should be dismissed. Guess it's time to get that rune chopper out of storage and toss your dual sword setup, hm? ...As long as the countering ability doesn't overwrite utsusemi or third eye, should be fun. Since I have to tank on war for psychotic over-meritted decked melee in my assault static, I welcome anything new.

NIN: Sneak spell. Finally. Gil saver! Temp hate shed = cool idea for desperate recasts and SATA (ooh, could help THF)... someone said it might help low-level for shared tanking, though I'd like to think it'd be higher-level so it couldn't be abused in a NIN sub. Put 2 PLD/NINs or RDM/NINs on anything with no tanking worries, ever (well, less tanking worries. This would let the average moron get away with it instead of just the talented). This would completely contradict their trying to make WAR more of a tank and having PLDs keep their shields on.

RNG: Welcome to 3 years ago?

WHM: Wow I so never would have figured that scholar was intended to be a possible sub! Actually, the sleep spell/ability thing could be a push for this so whms don't have to depend on an emergency sleep from blm sub.

Tell the RDMs to lvl BLU, christ.

I actually did for that reason. >.> Too bad RDM is much more needed in....everything.

[Churchill]

All of that looks 100% retarded.

[lorcas]

All of that looks 100% retarded.

I'd say more like 85% 90% retarded. Some of this is actually good.

[eva00r]

how can new blu spells look retarded ?

read it ffs!

[crux]

Wait, did anyone need to be told that BLU and COR would get new spells/rolls?

[Eaglestrike]

this game revolves around merit parties? What have I been doing...

Last I checked WHM's are still the king main healers of FFXI, the only issue they have is people considering RDM better for a merit party. A good WHM can, from what I've seen, heal just as well as a RDM in a merit party, they just couldn't do much add control. Now they can.

And how could you not see Scholar as a sub for WHM? Scholar has a big sign over it saying "I AM THE BEST SUB FOR MAGES" and I think it's going to get far more use as a subjob than a main job. Scholar is the sub for mages like /sam is for 2h DD (I think SE said this somewhere).

Maybe this isn't exactly what WHM's wanted, but this looks like WHM is getting some decent buffs from this expansion. A nice new mp conserving subjob and its own add control.

CMON HASTE ROLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

Or DNC roll be like regain, just as good!

[FinalJustice]

lol omg a regain roll would rule

[Scythiroth]

lol omg a regain roll would rule

Regain definitely does need to be added somewhere. >.> That would be awesome.

[Builttolast]

Nothing for monk, oh well it's expected. Instead they make WAR the new monk and give them TP for their counter (something monk could have used for years)? thats seriously messed up.

Looks like some jobs get what they wanted, while some get something they don't want nor need. Some get what they deserve (yay 2h "fix"). Some just get screwed.

[Thistle]

Regain and Haste rolls would make me a happy COR.

Ahhhh! ATTACK!

[fantasticdan]

I'm gonna guess regain on dnc roll, and fast cast on sch roll? Maybe that's hoping for too much.

EDIT: Conserve mp on sch roll is probably more likely.

[Lordshin]

i didnt see this anywhere >.>

OMG IT'S!!!!!!!

[Aldaris]

Kat I'm a kitty kat! and I dance dance dance, an dance dance dance!
