Wow, 3 Carols. No cool new unique songs but just... Carols.
That is... depressing.
Oh Iknorite!
No MDB- Song, no March III (which clearly looked to be in the last couple dat mining findings...), personally I was also even kind of hoping for Foe Requiem VIII too since our last requiem was lvl 76. >.<
There's still that new group of merits planned for the future which could unlock these types of songs, but... who knows? :/
Dark Carol II could prove to be useful since I feel like Dark elemental dmg is quite common, but without a proper Bar-spell to pair it with, reducing the dmg will be limited to pretty much just the low chance of completely nullifying it, which is kinda "blegh..." >.<
Very disappointing overall.
*As a side note, I'm so jealous of Blu and how they get like 6-10 new spells per update, ugh. x.x
It's like... Dark Carol and Light Carol are really nice additions, but in all reality... every job gets a cool new spell to use, new functionality or new toys every update, but BRD gets left in the lurch.
I've seen people who had the idea that the new BRD 2 hour will simply allow you to sing an extra song... I'm going to be so mad if they actually make that a 2 hour.
new Debuff, Mage songs or march would have been welcome here.
I guess I hold out hope for merits and new relic!
Well, they haven't released the JA yet. Maybe there will be something that could have been good but would have been too overpowered so we will be getting a watered-down version that we will never use.
Aside from that, there's always the possibility that they add more spells and such a year or two from now as they try to rebalance the jobs.
Hmmm I made myself sad.
I mean I use Marcato when it's up, for V.march inside, and Ballad III outside. I use it along side with troubadour so it's not so bad as I initially thought.
Yeah brd is really being left in the cold. Sad Panda.
I just wanted to make an appearance to let you know, if you didn't assume already of course, that there are more version update notes coming.
This is not the end! :cool:

Cute Mandragora FTW! <3
Beats pumpkin heads all the way, unless its a mandragora with a pumpkin head o.o;
Wasn't DRG promised adjustments PRE-99?
Was kind of hoping this would be implemented BEFORE the 99 cap increase. Anything we get 96+ isn't an adjustment, it's just regular business as usual for level cap increases.Quote:
Wanted to "jump" in here (get it?) and give our dragoons some cool tidbits on what's in store for them.
After we complete our highest priority tasks of adjusting puppetmaster, scholar, and the firepower of warrior, we would like to add on to the adjustments we made to Wyverns in the 9/19 major version update by adjusting dragoons themselves. We'll be sure to let you know all the details once they become finalized!
I figured THIS would be for level 99 cap increase, not the former:
What gives? Are they not going to adjust DRG and just give us a trait and a JA the same as every other job gets 96+? Was expecting a little more for DRG as eluded to by Camate...Quote:
Also, this may not be implemented at the same time as the dragoon adjustments, but we plan on adding "Healing Breath IV" to Wyverns and increasing the number of status ailments that can be cured by "Remove Breath."
Dark Knight dark magic fast cast . . .?
All the things? :(
Well, There's a SLow II out for Rdm, why not give Brd Carnage Elegy? Or was that Massicure? I dun remember, it was one that the NM rocs love to use all time. Stronger version of elegy right now though.
I didn't see any new or unexpected stuff on Ghorn99 from the dat mines. Songs +4 and the expected increases in CHR and skill while other relics and such got after circles or w/e. Right now I'm pretty much tossing my eggs into the Daurdabla basket since that looks awesome at 99.
Well I was looking for a special song in the description but... No luck. Yet.
Well there they are:
Gjallarhorn Rare Exclusive
Wind Instrument
CHR+10 Singing skill +25
Wind instrument skill +25
All songs +4
Lv99 BRD
Daurdabla Rare Exclusive
String Instrument
Singing skill +20
String instrument skill +20
Increases song effect duration
Grants two additional song effects
Lv99 BRD
One looks awesome and the other...
And yet, the version update has come out, and...we got three lousy carols. Be still my beating heart.
Say, what about that adjustment to Requiem that the manifesto mentioned way back when? We still have seven tiers in a spell that we can't use in most of the stuff we do any more. :(
Now maybe all of my dreams will come true...
I can finally lightning carol II.
Quick testing from test server.
Bard's Justaucorps +2
Military Parade= STR+10 DEX+10 VIT+10 AGI+10 when engaged.
Enhances troubadour effect= +4 seconds duration per upgrade (i.e. Troubadour duration+20 seconds if 5/5 troubadour)
Bard's Cannions +2
Courtly Measure= INT+10 MND+10 CHR+10 when not engaged
Enhances Soul Voice effect= Soul Voice duration + 30 seconds
Bard's Slippers +2
Enhances Nightingale effect= +4 seconds duration per upgrade(i.e. Nightingale duration+20 seconds if 5/5)
Body did not increase the duration of songs cast with troubadour any more than usual.
Legs did not increase the potency of SV'd songs.
Feet did not lower recast of songs when used with nightingale any more than usual.
I was hoping MP and CM would be +16 stat but this isn't bad.
