Quarter Jobs

[Oakrest]

I had an idea for a new "Quarter job" unlock-able quest that would basically be 1/2 of your subjobs level. So for example: PLD99/DNC49/WAR24.

I don't think this would be overpowered for any one job (quarter job) because if you look, it's only going to provide a handful of procs, and many of the more meaningful abilities and traits won't come until 25 or later (such as WAR's double attack).

It might be a good quest to tuck into the new expansion, because it would give just a bit more power to 99's without being overkill.

There are many more priorities than implementing this idea (i.e. fixing the broken enmity system) but I just wanted to throw it out for some creative thinking

I'll agree. Not because its a great idea, but because with this I could finally go RDM99/NIN49/WAR24 and get Berserk!

I think you are substantially underestimating just how powerful that would be. The more impressive sounding traits, spells, and abilities might be 25+, but the nuts and bolts subjob abilities are almost all below that point. In quite a few cases, the difference between a normal subjob and a quarterjob would be minor. Yeah, there are some combinations where it wouldn't be a huge deal, but there are others where it can be quite absurd.

Hehe, I mentioned this as a sarcastic joke last week in the thread FFXI fixed!

99/66/33 I think would be more fun.

Would be interesting throwing in this "quarter job". As a DD i could see how helpful this could be but would it be nearly as good for mages? ???/???/blm for warp anyone? ;D

Ridiculously overpowered.

Would require additional subjob grinding.

Would satisfy the math nerd in me so much.

This would be outrageously overpowered but I would love to see it simply because you would be able to hear Tanaka's screams of anguish from 100 miles away.

DRK99/SAM49/WAR24

gg

Unless the 3rd job's JA's were nerfed even more than a sub's JAs, most jobs would be subbing WAR or NIN. Would so awesome to be a BLU/NIN/WAR Berserk and native DW3 would save so many points... PLD/RDM/WAR would be a pretty ridiculous tank.

I don't think "overpowered" really applies when that was the main thing thrown around when they decided to raise the level cap, and I'd like to think that all worked out for the better.
