While I don't object to the new cap (it only really matters inside Abyssea anyway), I certainly don't quite understand that move. Objectively speaking, it really doesn't seem very fair.

They have planned adjustments to weaponskills in the future (According to the rep in the "Full break" thread).
So theres a good chance DRK might get some nice Critical hit treats, and as Arcon says, It only really matters in Abyssea (The only place the cap can even remotely be reached). -

They should just make guillotine and that nyzul SAM WS that is multihit critical chance based on TP, that would fix the problem. =|

This is stupid, and needs to be fixed. There's no way this is intentional, just like the bulshittery that was the 10/tic regain PUP weapon.

Crit rate also caps at 100%. I guess I picked the right jobs.
-
05-14-2011, 11:10 PMGreatguardianThis is intentional and was mentioned specifically in the update notes. See Atomic_Skull's post for potential reasoning. Plus, they plain made players more powerful in every regard with this update. 50% Fast Cast cap was removed as well, and 95% Crit Rate cap.Quote:

05-14-2011, 11:33 PMArconHuh? Must have missed that. Casting time or Recast time? Or both?Quote:

Spells going off at the 20% mark and Reraise having 44 second or lower recast have both been reported (the latter by Rdm only, no idea if this applies to recast reduction given by Haste). No personal testing to speak of though, since I don't think I've been on Rdm in months. I could go give it a whirl with my rdm and my brd mule later today.Quote:

I've not tested it yet, but I'd bet one million that -BP cap wasn't changed at all. After all, can't uncap anything related to pet jobs.

I would also bet that, because they did not say it was changed.

05-15-2011, 03:19 AMArconDid you mean 24s? Reraise has an innate recast of 60s, so 44s wouldn't be anything special.Quote:

Did the same test on SCH with Light Arts/Celerity, 14% Haste and 4% Fast Cast, still stuck at 30s, so SCH native recast reduction doesn't help either.
Screenshot
Let a friend do it on RDM with major Fast Cast items and high Haste in gear with double March + Haste, still only 30s on Reraise.
Tried it again on BRD with Harmony Cape and Aoidos' Rhingrave +2 for direct recast reduction (Song recast -9), with 61% Haste, still nothing.
Screenshot
The only thing I noticed a change in was casting time. It's not really easy to judge with BRD, but Minstrel's Ring and other items I was able to push casting time from 4s to noticeably under 2s, with Nightingale it was almost instant. So my conclusion is the casting time reduction cap definitely received an upgrade, but the recast time did not. -
05-15-2011, 04:15 AMGreatguardianD'oh, yes, I meant 24s. It's good to see some confirmation either way though! Even if Recast stays capped at -50%, getting casting time down is pretty cool.Quote:
