Dragoon Updates!

Wasn't the super jump enmity reduction already delayed from the LAST version update? You really can't use meteor as an excuse, thats pathetic.

Sometimes I wonder if the "FFXI Dev Team" is really just one guy that they moved down to Storage Room B.

Its actually being developed by this guy:

Would be nice if SE expressed any real interest in their MMO that actually succeeded. The last couple of years have had hoards of failed MMOs, FFXIV included, which is one of the primary reasons that FFXI is still played as much as it is. I really think SE is pushing it. It really is too bad that they can't get their shit together when Diablo 3 is actually around the corner.

I wonder how long it will take for me to want to come back and fight all the bosses that I've already fought in content that actually had a story line attached to it. Hmmmm maybe never?

Deep Breathing
Recast time reduced from fifteen minutes to five.
Additional merit points no longer reduce casting time, but instead further enhance wyvern breath effects.

Empathy
Now also increases the wyvern's level at a constant rate.
Additional merit points no longer simply increase the number of beneficial status effects to the wyvern granted by Spirit Link, but also increase the rate at which the wyvern gains experience.

Restoring Breath adjustments
The priority by which status ailments are cured will be adjusted as follows:
　
(Pre-Adjustment)
1. Disease/Plague
2. Curse/Bane/Doom
3. Paralysis
4. Blindness
5. Poison

(Post-Adjustment)
1. Paralysis
2. Curse/Bane/Doom
3. Disease/Plague
4. Blindness
5. Poison

Empathy Merits seem interesting. I hope Angon getting moved to its own unique debuff is still on the cards somewhere though.

Lower the damn Call Wyvern Recast once and for all.... And fix Relic WS and aftermath, it's ridiculously gimped compared to other relics.....................

And for god sakes, stop making drg's soloing rely only on af1 / af2 swap... need to remove that swap thing, or either fix it, because sometimes it ain't working right.

It is and we apologize for the wait for this! Overall, these adjustments were mainly focused on Group 2-related merits and ones with "reducing their time" as part of the merit feature. We haven't forgotten about Angon!

i do wish the augment on relic +2 had been initiates HB at 60% hp or something.

[Anucris]

so by enhancing wyvern breath effects, do they mean maybe adding an enfeeble finally? or simply boosting deep breathing? cause it really don't need boosted for more cure power.

Can already heal at 60% if you macro HP gear into your healing breath macro. Actually can come close to 65-70% if you have enough +HP.
