All Worlds Maintenance (Sep. 8)

[Destinye]

I still find it funny how it went from "LOL SCH is just a gimped RDM" to "Fucking SCH is broken." ..

Aside that, can't wait to see what these PW/AV changes are..

[nekura]

The addition of Sublimation, Addendums (and associated spells), changes to charge regeneration, changes to storm spell cast/recast, addition of Enfeebling skill to Light Arts, AF1, did I miss anything?

They reduced the MP cost for Manifestation and Accession from triple the spell cost to only double.

[SamanosukeShiva]

I dont really like SCH that much, what ppl use SCH for?

I never see a good SCH, that's prolly why I dont like them so much ;p

Ahh yeah, I forgot about that.

Salvage.

[ronin sparthos]

why do you say that? Did i misread something?

Im saying that because new zones would be a pretty big announcement no?

Unless thats what they are saving for patch day notes.

Salvage, Limbus, Einherjar, Dynamis, Manaburns, BCNMs. Basically, SCH can replace a BLM (w/o stun) and a WHM/RDM (no haste though) in many, many situations.

SCHs= master of damage reduction.

We use SCH in Dynamis as a WHM substitute in some of our parties (when they have RDM and BRD support), and in the BLM parties. SCH kinda sucks as a RDM replacement when people in your party need haste, but they're an excellent complement to RDM.

Black Mage parties love me because I enable e-penis waving competitions and can keep them alive while commencing said competitions.

[Sho]

Salvage.

And Nyzul Isle, Einherjar, Limbus... and Dynamis. Hell even just being in tank PTs for sky and ZNM. At least from personal experience with my own SCH.

[ronin sparthos]

SCH is an amazing job all around, it can fit into just about every event in the game.

The same sadly cannot be said about Dancer, which still needs some work event-wise.

[The Blackrose]

So, who's looking forward to meriting Modus Veritas Recast?

So true. I am hopeful that DNC will finally get a much needed boost this update.

[Indalecia]

Woo hoo/but that's my day off/fuck you for messing up my [insert event here]/will they also add [insert unannounced update here]/but they didn't announce [insert already announced update here]/Kings, HNMs, ToDs, windows, yap yap yap/yay/boo/finally/I hope this is better than last update/this update sucks anyway/this update is gonna be awesome/hope they don't break Windower again/awww, but I just got ToD of [this NM]!!!

...did I cover everything?

Forgot the most important one.

"Wheres my Avatar/smn fixes!"


But yeah seriously...wheres my rolling castle of death? ; ;

[Lyramion]

To make DNC viable for bigger enemies they would need a "regain dance stance" where they woulldn´t be able to do anything but Dance till deactivated. While dancing their TP would slowly fill up. Allowing them to perform their job without having to hit the enemy and give them a shitload of tp.

I like my idea! Would be awesome.

So no getting the update the "normal" way until after the maintenance is over.

File check should still get the update, right? I was never quite sure how that method of getting the update works.

[benny]

I don't see why they don't just give DNC auto-regain job trait. Maybe make it only active <100TP on subjob... or just make it 40+.

[ronin sparthos]

Tack that onto the need for a Raise Jig, Reraise Jig and possibly Auto-Regain as a DNC-onry Job Trait.

No complaints here, just saying prepare for the inevitable shit storm.
