Job Adjustments and Additions Part II (03/30/2009)

**Ker** · 2009-03-30 05:37

Composure just give RDM the acc boost they need to land the WS and to build TP when there is no surrounding weak mob to build TP on

On what? EXP/limit party it's useless and in HNM it's even more useless as for tanking maybe. i am not piss about En2 i'm piss i will never use it beside soloing when giving JA AOE EN2 spell would been good add for merit,salvage and HNM

**Trolll** · 2009-03-30 05:37

Composure will give +250 acc while staves are equipped.

Holy fucking epic fail, jesus dickcheese christ

**orson** · 2009-03-30 05:39

Second half of the job adjustments? So no more job updates probably, just bullshit. Lackluster update compared to what Whm got. Blm still gotten fuck all for updates.

**Kairos** · 2009-03-30 05:40

Yeah i'm actually really interested in what they're doing to merit bloodpacts because I already use them often. They tend to range from 900-1100 unresisted based on TP, so I wonder how big of a boost they will be giving them. With astral pot, nirvana, and MAB+7 on the new body that could stack up pretty huge. I'm expecting maybe a boost of up to 1400-1500 normal damage on them. As for the haste thing I don't care because I don't get to party on smn anymore and in endgame stuff I always get stuck in the stupid blm party anyway (summoner on full moon in mage party I don't really get it =/).

The awesome thing is gonna be the range increase for wards. They will increase in efficiency simply because you won't have to prompt your party to huddle together around the summoner for warmth and group hug for buffs.

I'm actually interested to see what rdm can do with these new spells and ability. I really want to know how much they lower elemental resistance and how much damage they do.

There you have a nice handy soloing buff, if only minor but it'll save you from having to recast your buffs as often

Only if it doubles spell duration, otherwise Refresh will last less than 5 minutes, if the duration buff is less than 1.667% spells like Haste, Phalanx, Spikes, and En-spells will not last 5 minutes. Also, this is assuming that you can click it off, not every buff can be removed manually. (Like bard songs or Sublimation.)

I am not trying to be Irrationally Despondent, but compared to the WHM buff, this is looking like utter shit that really doesn't really help much.

**Octavious** · 2009-03-30 05:40

This is so funny, I can't believe they would do something this retarded. Then again it could go side by side with all the shit RDM's i've had to exp with on SMN. I can see it now... "Oh, let the RDM melee Tiamat, we need to drop it's resistance and RDM can do that with enspell!"

The only thing this update does is fuel the retard RDM's who continue to want to melee. I wonder if there's a Part III coming, can SE possibly fuck up more? Wait & See, heh.

**Ethican** · 2009-03-30 05:41

seriously square is NOT in touch with their player base... at least not in terms of rdm.

**Kerberoz** · 2009-03-30 05:42

Incoming ocean of seeking zammer rdms.

They will justify it as "playing the game the way SE intended!"

**Ker** · 2009-03-30 05:43

fuck this going to sleep I stayed awake just for this and thank for making retarded rdm wanting to melee in Limit parties or HNM

**Toth** · 2009-03-30 05:43

From the wording, there is most likely a third coming this week.

The third half? Could be..

**shaddix** · 2009-03-30 05:45

The third half!

**Kerberoz** · 2009-03-30 05:45

where's the cheering guys/apathetic guys meme? seems appropriate

**Toth** · 2009-03-30 05:48

Ah, didn't see the half part in there. Oh well. I do want to know however why there announcements took precedence over MMM changes.

**Revitozu** · 2009-03-30 05:49

lol.

"Composure"
We'll see I guess. Doesn't sound amazing by any means. It doesn't even sound 'Red Mage'. Sounds like something a DRK or WAR would have. :< But, I guess the name fits what it does. Going to probably see issues with recast and maybe yarnball.

Enspells2. Eh, didn't need them. We'll see how they turn out. Atleast they look pretty.

I thought Hastega did that already, ah well. >_> Wonder if this change will actually let it overwrite Refueling(10%).

Heres to hope for a Part III. ; ;
Edit: Oh, 'Second Half'. Maybe SE doesn't know how to cut pie.

Dulek · 2009-03-30 05:50

They really need to add like a rate up/rate down on the official website for this kind of stuff, would not need to display the results publically, but at least they are getting initial feedback.

Hey, not like it would change before the update anyways or improve the way SE communicates with the players outside of 'POL announcements.'

---

On another note, sigh at comparison of WHM update, versus RDM, SMN. No clue if BLM might still have a chance in the final update notes.

Second Half? MOTHERFUCKER
