Job Adjustments Part I (08/27/2010)

[Eldelphia]

Two jobs I was considering leaving behind before I knew the level cap was only 85 AND I hadn't seen this... SMN and COR. But what with attack buffs and defensive buffs stacked on top of Perfect Defense, SMN is coming back in as useful again and COR is just full of win.

The Boost stats things interest me. Also Addle = Confuse? Break came out of nowhere but nice to see fresh II and ballad III in the same range.

And finally some BLMs can stop QQing about Aspir II.

[Edit] Addle = magic def down would be awesome.

[Acidious]

Confuse wouldn't work in my opinion, Amnesia is possible, MDEF down is very possible. Either way, Refresh II, I expect less to no QQing about RDM not getting anything.

[Cairthenn]

I want BLM's Break. It should be mine. Mine, mine, mine.

[Alkar]

Instead you'll see RDMs QQing because they don't wanna Refresh other people after they get it from /rdm. Wait and see.

[Kaeda]

Aspir II for blms? Sounds nice! Now where am I going to fit all these new spells on my macro palette!? Mage's Ballad III and Refresh II... long time coming. These two spells especially will be expensive since demand will far outstrip supply unless SE is smart about it and either a) makes them rain like candy or b) some npc sells it for a reasonable price. Dual Wield at 83... for thief... doesn't sound promising at all. Gain vs Boost sounds like Boost will be a straight +x while Gain increases over time? But it'd be hard to balance this if that's true. Ninja getting more ichis... hope they're good, but I can see them being weakens enemy defense and m. defense or something; especially since SE is pushing some sort of nuking ninja. Dragoon gets another enmity- jump that shares a timer! Great...

Final note: Blitzer's roll definitely sounds like a "sword strap" roll, which will suck >< I honestly hope it's more like Haste Samba and Hasso, but I highly doubt it.

[Shenrien]

Pretty fucking epic update...

[Acidious]

I saw Break coming a mile away, mobs use it, and Black Mages have almost always had it in previous games. But, -jas, there are no words to describe my excitement. Also, the hate control spells for SCH could possibly be very useful, especially to file out their support role even further.

[Alkar]

I found this for NIN:

"Myoshu (...) means an "extraordinary", "excellent", "magnificant" move, and such a move is unexpected by most people when it's delivered. (...)"

Couldn't find anything for Yurin.

[Alistrianna]

Gain and Boost probably do the same things. WHM is probably AoE where RDM would be self target? All spells were same lvls for both jobs and barspells were the same way.

[Kayatani]

Gain and Boost probably do the same things. WHM is probably AoE where RDM would be self target? All spells were same lvls for both jobs and barspells were the same way.

Hope it is self target and not a 3 min single target party buff, fuck cycling Gain-INT along with refresh for a BLM party or Haste/STR for DDs

Saboteur (RDM Lv.83 Ability Delay: 5 min. Effect Duration: 1 min.)
If the next spell you cast is enfeeblement magic, its effect and duration will be enhanced.

Anyways, I happy.

OH WAIT does this mean yarnball won't work with Refresh II? THIS IS TERRIBLE D:

[mdkuser]

Endodark is the best addition, DRK is the new best DD.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Endodark is the best addition, DRK is the new best DD.

You are joking, correct?

[Shenrien]

You are joking, correct?

En spells have never disappointed! also if these Enspells follow the same as the ones RDM has >.> PLD + Enlight + Joyeuse = even more love!

Also Enlight is sort of a huge slap to the face I'd think to Excal owners.

[Massimo]

Blitzer's Roll (COR Lv.83)
Reduces melee attack delay for party members within area of effect. Lucky number: 4. Unlucky number: 9.

This could potentially be just fucking amazing.

Sentinel's Scherzo: BRD Lv.82
Foe Lullaby II: BRD Lv.83

So Scherzo should be PDT, which would seem situationally useful. Lullaby II is win.

Feather Step (DNC Lv.83 Ability Delay: 15 sec.)
Lowers a target's critical hit evasion. If successful, will earn you a finishing move.
*The recast timer for Feather Step is shared with Steps.

Also possibly awesome if attack capped (or even when not, if it's really potent)

[Gokulo]

Goddamn you S-E for making me want to play this game again!

[Damane]

EU notes state delay reduction as well so I don't know.



OUT OF NOWHERE


Edit: German

・Brachial-Wurf (COR Lv.83)
Erhöht die Angriffsgeschwindigkeit aller Gruppenmitglieder im Wirkungsbereich. Glücksnummer: 4. Unglücksnummer: 9.

My German might be rusty but I'm almost sure Erhöht is increase.

Enhances the attack speed (right translation) from your Party members in the Area of effect.

[ziegh]

French says :
Jet de l'agresseur (Corsaire niveau 83)
Réduit le délai des attaques des équipiers dans le rayon d'action. Chiffre chanceux : 4. Chiffre malchanceux : 9.
Reduces the delay of attacks of those in the area of effect.

[Alkar]

Scherzo is a song I'd always want on my BRD while pulling. That's hardly situational.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Haste Samba would like a word with you

[Massimo]

If it goes above the 50% gear cap, then it'll have quite a few uses, yeah. Otherwise, just get PDT gear that doesn't suck.
