I miss FFXI Would kill for 2001-2005 gameplay again & Skilled high level players once again. (Colibri's were where this game started going downhill) didnt need to bitch back then because this game was so awesome...
The upgrade from the 22% cure potency staff is currently 40 light geodes for 1% more cure potency on the test server. While other staffs might be priced right at 40 geodes for +1 magic affinity, a 1% boost to cure potency for 40 geodes is too much.
Either the cure potency staff should have a lower cost, an alternate trial (like turn in more pixies), or a bigger boost to cure potency (or other stats). I understand that the cure potency on it is fairly high, so perhaps the best solution is to cure the geode cost to a more reasonable level for this staff.
I've always been paranoid that things like Light Arts stack with Cure Cast Time in a multiplicative manner rather than an additive manner, so I just assume I'm never hitting the new reduction cap of 80% no matter what I slap on. It would be awesome to find out that I'm wrong in thinking this, though.
I love the idea of Sacrosanctity: it's a very strong defensive ability meant to be used at a key moment. This is exactly the kind of thing that White Mage benefits from having, and I'd love to see an equivalent for physical damage later on.
However, ten minutes is a huge recast for a one-shot ability at this point in the game. Most Notorious Monsters don't even live ten minutes. Five minutes would be a much, much more reasonable recast for such an ability.
Okay, so why does this weapon get to cure these things and not Esuna or Benediction?The issue where the weapon skill Myrkr would not remove the status ailments Elegy and Requiem.
I think the development team's logic is that Elegy and Requiem are single target, so there's no need for an Area of Effect spell or ability to remove them.
I also think that logic is suspect. Esuna, Sacrifice, and most of all Benediction should excel in "quality" of status effects removed as well as quantity. The first two have steep draw-backs, and the third can only be used every two-hours.
