Thoughts on the FFXI Job Adjustment Manifesto

[Ank]

Thanks Camate! Considering that, did a quick one shot kaustra in sea on an ul'aern, 881 damage with weather, obi, twilight cape, plutos, mostly int gear, dark neck.

Did about 24% hp damage, damage from dot took the 76% remaining, didn't think to time it.

Also, did anyone check to see if base Sublimation is 2HP -> 8MP at Lv.95 yet?

Easiest way to test that?

Based on charging time I'd say yes? 2minutes 34 seconds @90, 2 minutes 19 seconds @95

I did a couple tests with Sublimation at 95 using no gear.

Starting HP: 1338
First use: Had 1316 HP after, MP restored: 96.
Second use: 1316 -> 1296 HP, MP restored: 88.

It appears to have indeed reached a new tier.

This puts sublimation on a level higher than refresh 2. If you have a max HP of ~1100 and have sublimation merits(since nothing else is really worth it at this point), you will regain about 325 mp per 2:30(it takes 2 minutes for sublimation to charge, 30 seconds before you can use it again). That's 25 more mp than refresh II when cast on you, and 85 more mp than when a RDM casts refresh II on themselves. When compared to composure refresh II it also gives 75 more mp than when a rdm casts it on you, and 155 more mp than a rdm casting it on themselves. All of this math doesn't take into account sublimation+ gear.

I have class right now, so I can't really double check my work, but if sublimation was upgraded from 7 to 8, it's just another thing to look forward to with this update.

Don't know why I added an "L" to Kaustra...fixed. My bad.

Only downside.... It's not instant like Refresh II.

[Eric]

It's a double-edged sword, because with Refresh, if you have full MP, it's just going to waste, but sublimation can hold that extra MP until you need it. On the other hand, with sublimation if you really need MP, but it's not completely charged, you're also wasting MP(by stopping its effects for the 30 seconds until you can reuse the ability).

Kaustra
Claustrum.

KLAUSTRA(m)

Thats my guess.

Kaustra

Thats my guess.

Haha, yeh I think that's actually it. Derp :/

I ran a test myself on sublimation and came to the same conclusion of a new tier@level 95. I had the same 88 MP return after the initial 30 seconds until the recast is back at 0.
In my idle gear it caps at 350ish for me (Taru + Sublimation Merits) and takes about 1 minute and 33 to 36 seconds to be fully charged fulltiming AF Hat, Relic Body and Savant's Earring.

With four pieces with an enhancing effect for sublimation we can reach a 6hp/tick = 12mp/tick @95.
