Cait Sith and Atomos

is win for SMN!!!

Actually, out of all the updates with avatars in it, I'm more excited about the other thing included in the notes for SMN:

A new ability that expends an additional amount of MP to shorten the recast time for blood pacts.

I just hope that the costs associated with this isn't like +10 perp cost for -10 BP timer to be included into the cap. Meaning that we still are stuck with 45 second recast timer, but we don't "have" to have BP- gear at all....

Lower the cap, not just the recast.

please add a single target roll for COR as well like pianissimo for BRD - would be very nice SE thanks!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the recast time for Phantom Roll about one minute, and the rolls are on a global timer?

Wouldn't that suck for having a Pianissimo effect?

Now, would this be Cait Sith#1 or #2?

Too many DRKs underestimate the potential and consistency of Infernal Scythe.

I love my infernal Scythe.

Also, SE..why not just let us Crit our WS's? If we're purveyors of pain, let our Scythe dish out the hurt >.>

Because they want your weapon skills to be elemental based?

as some one in the DRK forums put it, SE is trolling us

[Korpg]

Well, think about it.

What job out there has the most number of elemental WSs available....ok, WAR does.

Maybe you guys are getting the shaft.

[Finuve]

I just want SE to ignore everything consisting of the words elemental and DRK(or any variations that mean DRK)

we have good Dark Magic skill, get us using that more, and not for direct damage

My biggest qualm with the update is the PLD DRK PUP and NIN buffs. NIN is fairly strong right now and that's a good time to give them something cute, see what MNK got, instead of a straight buff to general effectiveness. I don't have a problem with the NIN changes, it just seems like other jobs need that kind of change more right now. PLD DRK and PUP and the three jobs in the SE doesn't know what they're doing club. PLD is being treated like its 2005, SE wants DRK to be BLMs? and PUPs still have terrible AI for their automata. I don't even know if the 1st thing listed for DRK will be good, it just looks unappealing as TP is associated with DMG usually. I think if DRK got an absorb Store-TP or something that would be cool. More stuff with their dark magic not SE trying to make them worse BLMs... Speaking of BLMs are they getting berserk for magic? seems cool.


Oh I forget requiem spam time!!!!

Eh, my take on it:
1) DNC Flourish is going to be a Flourishes III and probably consume 3 Finishing Moves, which means it'll be worthless for everyone Twashtar or not.
2) The second job ability, depended how it's implemented, may be somewhat useful for a DNC with a supporting roll... unless they make it a Waltz.
3) They didn't mention they were splitting Waltz timers, which is a source of great sadness for me.
