currently downloading jun 10th update

Utsu San would not require a graphics update because
mobs already use it, eh? I guess that one will be a
surprise. Same with jubaku ni?

Yeah, that would be pretty cool.

We do need to take into consideration the fact that it's possible we'll only get to level 80 with this update. People shouldn't be disappointed with the "lack" of new spells/JA's just yet, there's a lot more room to grow.

HP down macro for ninja coming? Lol.

[Klefth]

How about a new AV list?

Well.. recast timer on San, I would assume would be the same as the rest, 60s, furthest you could take it down to is 30s cause of the cap, which means you could possibly Go Ni>San>Ni depending on what you're fighting.

One idea thrown around was increasing NINs damage based on how many shadow images were up. That way you'd be getting boosted damage without SE having to animate 4 models attacking one mob.

This is what makes Sange such an amazing ability, but 9 times out of 10 you wont really find a use for Sange, I've only gotten to use it a handful of times, and with Koga Shuriken being so expensive, it's nice to see 2k+ Sanges but at the same time, throwing 28k Gil each time just to do it, it adds up fast, helpful tho when I did the ACP and AMK final fights.

By possible you mean fact? ofc, I have a feeling there is some sarcasm there, XD.

On another note, please let that new waltz or flourish be an MP restore (AOE?) or some sort. A higher tier curaga equivalent is also sorely lacking.

DNC could really use more AoE and/or split timers for Waltzes, and other tweaks to what they already have, before worrying about even more things to do (though a more diverse set of capabilities certainly wouldn't hurt).

I haven't seen any proof that the level cap will be 80 and I doubt SE is gonna let us use Octave club that easily for 3 months.

Dancers are supposedly getting the ability to cure out of party, makes me wonder if they use Divine Waltz on someone outside of party if the aoe hits their party.. And yes.. they need higher tier Divine Waltz.

[Deader2818]

I have to find it but I remember SE saying this update will be 80 and then after that, they will figure out what the cap on the next update will be.

[Kuuhalee]

Just putting in my two cents ...

Looking at the animations of these new DNC maneuvers, I kind of think they might be stances. One styled for TP gain (Conserve TP? Temporary Regain?) and the other for a more of a support route (Improved waltz curing? Out of party waltzes?).

Kind of excited that DNC is getting ... something. We shell see.

^ i really don't know what the level cap is going to be, only thing i know is that they are upgrading 3 times: Jun,Sep,Dec. If they are going 5 lvls now that means they would have to go lvl 90~ next time, 99 last. I personally was wanting to see 85~>95~>99... because that last 5 levels are going to be the long, so figured they would make it like that.


Edit: I really hope its above 80 tho, another few months of sub rdm will/will not get refresh got old.

People could just...stop at 80 to use it, like they stop at 72 now.

Fully expecting 80>90>99 though, makes the most sense imo if they are sticking with 3 cap raises.

I don't see anyone stopping at 72 for that. There's also a big difference between stopping and being forced to stop.

[OdinBlaize]

Was it said anywhere that there were 3 and only 3 cap increases? The timeline lists 'Level cap increase part III" for December but I can't recall it saying anywhere that it was the final increase.

It could go 80-85-90-95-99 for the next 5 updates for all we know.

Stated at Vana'fest that by the end of the year the Level cap would be raised to 99.

I recall it being mentioned at Fanfest that the first level cap increase would take us to 80, being a smaller increase to gauge how increasing our level will affect the players vs. the current environment.

All you Octave Club and Divisor Ring owners can still rest easy, for now.

I also fully expect Abyssea areas to be built for level 80 players, not level 75.

wut? A lot of people stop at 72 now if zerg is the only thing they use drk for. I perfectly intend to stop levelling drk at 80, 88, and 96 as those levels come available.

I've yet to see one, that's what I meant. Most go to 75 for merits and stuff.

[Hanyoko]

Gessho and Kagetora both have attacking Utsu clones so its there for sure but I imagine PS2 limitations would scrap that idea.

Lets not forget Hundredfaced Hapool Ja.... Nothing like a 5x firespit to the face
