    • The job ability Shield Bash will grant a damage bonus based on the type of shield used.
      
    • The job ability Divine Emblem will grant a damage bonus based on the player's divine magic skill.

    • A new job ability that readies its target for a skillchain will be added.
      
    • The effectiveness of the job trait Store TP will increase at level 90 instead of 91.
      
    • The job abilities Hasso and Seigan will be refined as follows:
      

      • Hasso
        

        • Hasso will now occasionally trigger Zanshin even after landing a normal attack.
          

      • Seigan
        

        • The likelihood that Seigan will cause Third Eye to counter an anticipated attack will be augmented with a bonus based upon the player's Zanshin attack rate.
          

  • Ninja
    

    • The job abilities Innin and Yonin will no longer share the same recast timer.
      

  • Blue Mage
    

    • While the job ability Azure Lore is in effect, it will be possible to perform skillchains and magic bursts with blue magic.
      

  • Corsair
    

    • A bonus effect will activate when the total value of a Phantom Roll is XI.
      

  
  
• Additional Adjustments
  

  • During the window of time in which players may perform magic bursts after a skillchain, the target's resistance to the skillchain's corresponding element or elements will be decreased.
    

    Ex. 1) When a Transfixion skillchain is successfully executed: Transfixion is aligned to the element light, so the target enemy's resistance to light-based spells would decrease.
    Ex. 2) When a Light skillchain is successfully executed: Light is aligned to the elements of fire, wind, lightning, and light, so the target enemy's resistance to spells based on any of those elements would decrease.
    

*We are in the process of devising a roadmap for subsequent job adjustments, which we plan to unveil in the near future. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
