Cait Sith's Favor

or Treasure Hunter favor would be nice and it fits cait sith (like in FF7: DoC where his punches spit coins or sumin), imagine having TH3/4 with high summoning magic and cait sith out with his favor up.

God, I do hope they don't give Regain as Cait Sith's favor, imagine the nagging you'd get from melee when I don't give it to them. But on a more serious note, I can't think of much else they can give him as a favor buff. Obviously it would have to be light-based. Even though we have Magic Evasion from Fenrir, Magic Defense Bonus maybe? idk

My 2 Cents: The complete resetting of the avatar's favor upon a rage is quite ill-conceived. If anything the rage's should take take away a set amount of the favor's buff so that we are not penalized for bp:rages.

yeah its like SE expect a smn trying to support their pt to just sit there doing nothing, fun....

as for cait's favor i think the most likely candidates are MDB or regain, though i best SE will find something completely useless to give us instead.

I'd much more rather that diabolos has a new bloodpact ability. I vote for either a "healing ruby"-like TP shower or a move that place players into a sleep state, but grants regain,HP, and mp. (duration 30 sec).

As far as cat sith, I'm guessing a critical down(mob's attack) or something to do with players recasts(something like a corsairs 2 hr that reset timers...however not that pronounced). For example, perhaps a 1~10% reduction of all timers.

Hmmm, I was under the impression that it only reset to 50% not to 0? Was this either fixed, or debunked? I swear I didn't dream it >.>

Yea, I've heard it only resets it to 50%. Never quite got around to confirm it, but I think it felt like it could be true.

Still, 20% damage reduction and lower favor effect by 50% is really harsh.

Next Diabolo's BP will most likely be Cacodemonia (the only BP that's missing from Diabolo's moves) it does AOE curse. And I'm almost sure they won't give Diabolos a healing BP.

I've always assumed that to be correct. The 50% reset in favor potency after using a blood pact never bothered me cause it never took long to come back if you're not constantly using blood pacts every time their available. Better than total reset when resummoning. Most parties I've been in (mostly dynamis before updates over the last year) had me in parties with appropriate favors. Diabolos and Shiva when back with mages for refresh and MAB mostly. Carbuncle after wipes and back up healing. People didn't expect much work out of SMN... especially me considering SMN was my only 75 job for 3 years. I refused to level anymore until recently.

And despite the reduction of physical and magical power, the reduction of perpetuation cost was welcome back then. I never had an issue with the short falls personally. When you consider avatar's feed off your MP, the trade off wasn't a total bad ideal.

The sad part is that this was the only way to be a SMN in the past. As soon as you had a "real" job, you never were asked to come SMN again.
