Job Adjustments Part I (08/27/2010)

After careful consideration, the winner so far this update is BRD, with 2 popular abilities receiving a new tier, as well as a new toy.

The loser of this update so far is RNG. Sorry RNG.

Yeah I'm not seeing how RNG is losing out here either. If anything, Arrowburn will be back in force with RNG x4 BRD COR for 2x minuet, Chaos and Snapshot rolls... GG Colibri lol.

"Go play with yourselves" wasn't considered a win by BLM, BST, PUP, or SMN, why is it a win for RNG?

Edit: No need for a double. Continuing...

Don't confuse a win for COR for a win for RNG. RNG now wastes an otherwise perfectly useful COR.

What are you talking about? Ranger was a melee DD only with a K-club before, the same will be true now. They'll do damage faster at non-wyrm HNMs with AoEs when they have a COR, which is the only place they're used now. They certainly didn't get weaker. I think it somewhat unlikely that the COR roll will be potent enough to bring back Arrowburns, and it doesn't really help them at HNMs because they already have to hold back to avoid dying.

No melee DD has gotten a real buff from this update. It looks pretty safe to assume that DRG's new jump will be shit, and past that the nearest competitor is DRK's Crit Attack Bonus. Whoo-hoo, another 3% damage on their critical hits. Alert the press.

Now you're catching on. In a bunch of crappy updates, one job wasn't even worth mentioning.

The only problem with Snapshot is you practically have to bot to get usage out of it>.> If you hit /ra <t> too fast, you still get "unable to do that action" message, and you're locked out for a second or two, which kills any benefit to snapshot.

endark> haste samba 30sec every 5min (4'10)
if bltzer roll is JA haste high enough

I just realized i can start carol stacking for when people eleresist tank a mob. Even if i only got 10 more resist it would be pretty powerful when combined with a barspell.

While I 100% agree with you, the last group of bst jugs changed the game for bst, these 4 new ones -could- do wonders, depending on what they are.
