Job Adjustments and Additions Part I (03/26/2009)

[Mirinika]

This update just made my day. Maybe I'll actually get to come to events on WHM again instead of bleeding away my EXP on BLM all the time ~_~;

Don't get your hopes up~ Blm and rdm adjustments are next~ But I doubt they will be as epic as this.

[SenseiFF11]

All the interviews show is that if you cry long enough, you'll get something done. (unless you're a smn apparently) case in point: the cheese sandwich incedent.

And actually I said that rdm isn't a melée job; as in a job not designed around melée combat. Rdm is instead a Mage with very limited melée capability. Which brings me back to my point, just because you can do somthing, doesn't mean you should. I mean you can drive with your feet and blidfolded if you really want to, that doesn't make it a good fucking idea.

Though judging from the reactions of others, this isn't the first time you've been around here on your crusade, so I doubt you'll see or consider any reason or logic regarding this topic.

ok. keep it up.

[Max™]

Probably, but I wouldn't do it. I'm usually cheering on Doom countdowns >.>;

That would be fucking amazing to see though.

<Afkwhm> <I'm back!>
*sees person on like Doom 1 get a status effect*
Afkwhm begins casting Esuna on Doomedguy.
Afkwhm falls to the ground.

Seems that the whm has to have the enfeeble on for Esuna to work. When you cast it on yourself, everyone else will get esuna'd as well, but not if the whm doesn't have any enfeebles on. Frontline gogo. (French & JP translations say this)

Can someone verify this with the other translations?

[Akairyu]

Don't get your hopes up~ Blm and rdm adjustments are next~ But I doubt they will be as epic as this.

I can deal with BLM adjustments too~ would be nice to have some more native survivability stuff beyond sleeps bind and stun so we're not essentially dependent on our subjob for those all-to-frequent times where those aren't enough. (I'm looking at you Dynamis - Jeuno PLD gobs)

I'm also really happy about the MP cost reduction for Raises/Reraises... I always hated denying someone a Raise III due to needing to keep my MP up for other things... Now I won't have to do that anymore :D

[Pooky]

If that's the case, sacrifice makes a lot more sense now, however esuna int looking too hot now. Hopefully that's a translation error >.>

[Sanjiyan]

- Sacrifice (Lv65)
Transfers one enfeebling effect from target to yourself.

SE stole my idea, bitch.

[ringthree]

Did you just said RDM is not a melee-mage? I'm not going to comment on this part. That is your opinion.

Going from the description it sounds like Esuna is self-target only, like *ra spells. I don't think the WHM would need to have the status effect for the spell to be effective.

[Bastilla]

"・Guérison (niveau 61)
Guérit les équipiers dans le rayon d'action d'une altération d'état également subie par soi-même. Sous l'effet d'Adversité, le nombre et le type d'altérations pouvant être guéries sont augmentées."

Confirming that in order for Esuna to work, the WHM needs to be affected by the enfeeble spell as well.

I dunno who's making me laugh harder, you or Sath. Then I got to thinking. Dear jesas what if SE does update Red Mage with some frontline nonsense? After years and years of giving them nothing they finally give them some kinda el-oh-el Sword Stance that increases Parry rate or something. Man, will the egg be on our faces.

Of course, RDM frontline will still, largely, be LOL, but I can see it adding value to RDM tanking or soloing. It will be pretty hilarious if crazy guy turns out to be right about RDM adjustments, though. Even if they are abilities most red mages will find useless.

[Moridam]

I'm excited and terrified at this news. Excited for the obvious reasons, of course... but I think this means I'm not allowed to play MNK anymore D:

i finally feel like that horrible stretch of 55-75 getting stuck with level sync birds 90% of the time was worth it though!

I don't know and I don't care if it's been said yet, but I'm copyrighting the term Cureskin.

THAT'S MY SHIT.

[The Blackrose]

Alright fellas, calm it down and take the melee-RDM crap elsewhere.

If that's true (see the many arguments over Enlightenment's help text), that just put a little bit of a damper on it.

This actually says it better than I did. I was holding back, sorry, I don't know what came over me.

And yeah. Increased Parry rate would really show us what RDM melee has to offer.

Incentive for WHM to melee so they get status affected with everyone else.

Thanks for that. I was about ready to jump off a cliff if Esuna made yagrush obsolete
