New SMN JA "Possession" Empowering the "Melee SMN"

The whole special WS idea is nice, but unless they do 10k plus damage with ODD aftermath, even without Emp staff, then this still won't work for melee SMN. Plus, you will have a lot of angry melees demanding their own special sets of WSs, like Nyzul Isle-type WS.

I like to think of "melee SMN" as "SMN," and the do-nothing-for-45-seconds crowd as "gimp SMN." "Cure whores" still works for the rest.

You got that mixed up. It should be "melee SMN" as "gimp DD" and everyone else as "SMN." The so-called "cure whores" are more helpful to the party than a "melee SMN" can ever be. But thanks for making another thread into a "bash Dallas" thread.

The people who haven't read Kegsay's research, the only research on avatar melee abilities.

Lets see here. All elemental avatars have Tier 2 and 4 spells. All elemental avatars have elemental merited BPs that do elemental damage. All celestial avatars have light/dark element BPs. The magical BPs are dependent on the avatars Magic Attack and Magic Accuracy. Yup, they must be MNKs then!

Korpg, thank you for again thinking you deserve to be heard by me. You are wrong.

Seriously... if you want to personally run up and thwack the mob, you have TWELVE JOBS to choose from that do that. Without getting laughed at.

Otherwise, I might just make my thread requesting that my BLM be given better healing magic so I can main heal on BLM too. Why should I be forced to switch to RDM or SCH or even WHM to heal better!

I swing a 98 base damage staff for up to 900 damage on a normal hit in Abyssea (550 outside). I get back 1500-2000 MP with my WS. No one but a bunch of trolls on a forum are laughing.

DUDE THAT DAMAGE IS HUGE

not like I swing a 131 base damage GA for up to 1200 damage on a normal hit in abyssea (2200 crit, 4.5k double ODD crit) like, what, 900~2000 outside? I deal 9k with my WS.

hi guys.

I like how you talk like ODD procs are your normal swings. And you disregard the rate at which you can swing for that much damage. As well as how often you're going to miss, especially outside abyssea. And that you act like that damage will happen on anything with more than ~500 defense (being generous here...). And that you completely gloss over the fact that the twelve jobs I mentioned previously instead of "getting back MP" with their WS, "get 2000+ extra damage" even OUTSIDE abyssea. And that's with normal weapons.

oh, and if you're using that MP, you're slowing down your own attacks (significantly!), so getting back MP with the WS seems SO RELEVANT.

You do know how to divide by two, right? Get to work.

I don't know what you're trying to say.

Oh! You know what? I never thought about casting slowing down hits!

I like you Tagrineth.

Even the illiterate guy knows what I use my MP on. Hint: /SAM doesn't have any spells...
