Job Adjustments and Additions Part II (07/09/2009)
http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics.../4692/4692.jpg
As a follow up to last week's article on new ninja job abilities, it is with pleasure that we introduce other job-related additions and adjustments scheduled for the fast-approaching July version update.

Peruse the details here.

As a follow up to last week's article on new ninja job abilities, it is with pleasure that we introduce other job-related additions and adjustments scheduled for the fast-approaching July version update.

Rate of Gain for Combat and Magic Skills
The introduction of in-game systems such as Level Sync and Fields of Valor, while expediting job level increases in the low and middle level ranges, has caused gains made in combat and magic skills to lag behind.

To address this issue, the rate at which combat and magic skills increase during low and middle job levels is set to be given a boost.

Circle-type Abilities
http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics...692/4692_6.jpgUp until now, the benefits granted by Circle-type abilities have been lackluster relative to their ability delay. The July version update will see these abilities imbued with additional effects for greatly enhanced usability.

The following abilities will benefit from the above adjustment:
Holy Circle / Arcane Circle / Warding Circle / Ancient Circle / Killer Instinct

Blue Magic
Two new blue magic spells are scheduled to be added in the coming version update.

Yay! New Blue Magic! Yay skill ups!

C'mon Mighty Guard and White Wind. >_>

**akoru** · 2009-07-09 05:08

Woot for skill ups. And woot for maybe an actual serious use for those abilities!

**Hyan** · 2009-07-09 05:12

Vagueeeeeeeeeee

**Rocl** · 2009-07-09 05:13

I don't recognize either of those spells in the screenshot, perhaps this is Gargoyle + something else's spell? Here's to hoping this includes pet skill ups too for Puppetmaster

I swear Martial Master doesn't apply to Automaton or Magic skills!

I wonder what the Circle abilities will do, and if it'll make them useful. As much as I love new Blue Magic, they'll have to be really superb to be worth setting, and I really hate learning spells. Magus Buzabands don't do shit >| One looks physical (Yuhtunga) and the other magical buffing (Ruhotz) LETS GO SPECULATION

Also, this was unexpected, I was thinking M&F notes again, so I wonder if they'll skip Friday this week now..

**orson** · 2009-07-09 05:13

Spoiler: show

Just me or were these completely unexpected?

**Cairthenn** · 2009-07-09 05:14

Beaten by a second.

Looks shit to be honest.

**Tempyst** · 2009-07-09 05:15

Figures, right after I spend hours recapping my GA after living in East Ronfaure (S)

Circle ability buff is cool and overdue, I wonder if they'll bring back the haste/slow effect that killer effects used to do

**TaruMortis** · 2009-07-09 05:15

Unless the circles new added effects are worthwhile this is disappointing

**Rasantath** · 2009-07-09 05:16

killer instinct should never have been a merit... it should have been given to bst free of charge at level 50 or so and something useful been put in its place in tier2 merits.
if it turns out to be actually useful.... well i dont really want to rearrange my merits...

**orson** · 2009-07-09 05:16

Wrong sub-forum though you did post it before me. XD

**Tricen** · 2009-07-09 05:17

Oh hey shitty useless job abilities might be useful! Watch it be like "When under the effect of Holy Circle, players receive a 10% attack boost and 3% added damage to WS's!" Bricks would be shat :O

Isn't enhanced skill ups something ppl have been hoping for since forever?

It would probably only be against Undead though, no? >_>

**byte** · 2009-07-09 05:19

inb4 "and SAM got buffed again".

**Fryte** · 2009-07-09 05:20

Skillup rate: No downside, but not important either.

Circle-effects: HIGHLY situational and won't effect anything.

BLU spells: Vague, so not even worth discussing outside of hyping the update.

**Infini** · 2009-07-09 05:21

IN before "no BLM adjustments?!!?"

although feral howl is inaccurate as hell... (but thats another thread)

**Rocl** · 2009-07-09 05:24

Perhaps I am reading it wrong, but it also sounds like this may be the last adjustments blurb they give. The tone, and brevity of notes seems to point it that way in my mind, at least.
