Giving WHM AoE RR3 would be a pleasant side effect. I say do it.Quote:
While this isn’t impossible, we would need to change the magic rules and it would take some time to do so. Additionally, we would need to consider the fact that other jobs would then be able to do this as well and adjustments would be necessary.
Nice, I guess, but Magic Crit never really impressed me because of the randomness.Quote:
We would like to look into adding an effect to storm spells so that the magic critical rate will increase for the respective element when you are under their effects.
Gravity II and Auspice II? Surely you're not giving those to SCH?Quote:
We are planning to add a higher tier Gravity as a spell to reduce an enemy’s evasion. We will also be looking into spells that give the effect of subtle blow.
Not sure what the point is really, though I guess it kinda fits with Immanence.Quote:
{Spell that increases WS damage}
Though careful adjustments are necessary in regards to balance, we would like to look into this.
Don't think I understood this, are they asking about a buff that protects your other buffs from dispel? Sounds neat but situational.Quote:
{Decoy}
Balance wise, there is a chance this is possible if it only covers a single enhancement effect. It would probably have a weak effect against special abilities that remove multiple enhancement effects at once. In the case that this were made into an ability, when considering the stats, the recast timer would probably be quite long.
Who the hell is asking for Sphere effects? And why isn't Sphere: haste exactly the same as regular haste?Quote:
For sphere effects, there would be no way of handling the opposite enfeebling effects, such as Slow versus Haste effects. This makes it an extremely powerful spell, so from a balance perspective it will not be easy to do.

This is something that seems like it would be better suited to explore with pet jobs than scholar.
First time for everything I guess.Quote:
{SCH specific spells}
You all have been posting a ton of ideas about this!
We are currently looking over all of them and considering each and every one. Please give us a bit of time so we can work on some plans.

I hear being a dick to the messenger always helps and makes them feel good.
You people have gotten 3 different updates, Visit other jobs forums who have gotten 0 and then come back and complain.
Some of the questions are derp but at least you're getting answers. -

I'd have to agree with the Scholars who think they should be the ones getting Ultima considering its non-elemental nature. Even if it has a huge recast, you need to put Ultima in this game. It's mandatory to meet the credentials of a true FF game.

08-02-2011, 10:08 AMSiiriSeriously, can any other job get some answers? It's been all scholar all the time. Not the community reps causing this, they just reporting what they given. We are in serious need of other updates though besides scholar.Quote:

Like I said in the other thread, It's not my fault they wasted 3 posts worth of questions when they really only needed half of one. -

<_< hope they actually take my idea on SCH into account it would actually give them unique support abilities that WHM and BLM don't have but I guess we'll wait and see what they decide to do with SCH lol. A 3 parter with SCH though honestly nothing really caught my eye overall with what they said, if they gave us more examples as to SCH specific spells that aren't 2hr related then perhaps they would've been more informative, but it does feel more like a wait and see response to each question lol.
Though I do agree I don't see SCH getting Cure V since WHM V VI is what makes them unique, you have to off-set unique abilities in certain ways.
SCH Idea
I wasn't going to post the above link however I do wonder if they actually looked at it. IMO I think this would support "In regards to support capability, we’re thinking more in the direction of adjustments that will differ from white mage."
The basic premise behind this idea is the ability to cast spells that can turn enfeebles into status enhancements as well as grant immunity to said enfeeble til the spell wears off. The limit is basically you can only have one type of this enhancement up at a time so you can't be hit with Bad Breath and have a SCH cast all the "backfire" spells on you to pump up your capabilities.
Then on the Flip-side with Elemental magic I figured why not create a unique shield that can absorb a specific magic type of damage. Basically you use a strategm that turns your next elemental spell into a player target which "hits" them and the damage that it would've been is now the elemental magic shield you have. The limit with that is you can only have 1 magic shield active at a time so it would mainly be useful against mobs that stick with one elemental magic rather then those that use multiple elements.
But ya, I hope they give us an actual taste of spells that they have in mind cause it is true,if you just improve regen it really won't do much for SCH unless you can buff it up to actually be viable in an HNM situation. -
08-02-2011, 10:29 AMKarbuncleThis part just seemed like you were implying they never ever give our responses to the devs:Quote:

Like 2-3 of them were derp, out of about 20? Thats a good ratio considering the 0/0 that jobs like PLD, BRD, and WHM (to name a few) have gotten.... A lot of those questions hinted at new abilities/spells SCH would get...Quote:

not saying you can't facepalm about some of the very derp questions (Like say, RNG got one saying "I want 100% Rapid shot" which was WTF), just the comment i quoted above, if im reading it was, was incredibly unnecessary. -
08-02-2011, 10:34 AMRakshaNo, I was saying it's nice that the dev team is finally considering our suggestions, not that the mods weren't doing their jobs. I <3 the mods.Quote:

I'll be the first person to say that SCH isn't all that bad off. And that PLD and others need way more work than we do. -
08-02-2011, 10:36 AMKarbuncleI fixed the last part for you... They got the questions from somewhere so someone wanted them answered... If anyones to blame its the other languages/threads/forum-sections where they got these incredibly derp-rated questions from.Quote:

I just see a lot of pointless bashing of Community reps around here, and that last one seemed off. Nothing more, continue your business then!
