Thoughts on the FFXI Job Adjustment Manifesto

[Merton9999]

I wasn't happy with these at all.

Spells to reduce TP and buffs seem odd, and more suited to RDM. The last 15 levels have seen only unique enhancement spells that are currently near useless. I'd rather those be buffed and our healing side be augmented than to introduce enfeebles. The only thing I can see being useful is to reduce TP so much that we actually don't need Cure V? Haha, if anything it will be like Adloquium's silly +1 TP, only -1.

I said in another thread if the Tabula Rasa spell is Ultima or Death, great. If it just works like another addendum for Raise 3 and Freeze II then yuck.

I'm wondering if the second vision paragraph was mistranslated or worded wrong, or if people are misinterpreting it. What I'm hoping they intended here is that SCH will receive new spells that are on par with WHM and BLM, those new spells will take longer to cast, but will be worth it for their recovery/damage. The way they worded it people seem to think SE is saying WHM and BLM take longer to cast.

I would take that interpretation - a SCH-exclusive Cure VII that takes 10 seconds to cast would be interesting. This also fits with a Tabula Rasa Ultima.

And I'll say it again here: fix that horrendous range on Libra, unbreak Modus Veritas, and make Enlightenment do what the description says. It's hard to think about new abilities for SCH when the unique ones we have are so broken.
