Thoughts on the FFXI Job Adjustment Manifesto

[Raksha]

equally as sorry, i have witnessed the 0% enmity on nukes myself, so i know full well it works. and i know how you feel about it, it's precisely why i and many other dnc mains have issues with rosina.

and lol at the gender confusion, seems to be a lot of it.

Did the dia tests suggest a proc rate? If I find time to test it i want to get an idea of how many trials i'll need to see an effect.

[Sira]

i dont recall how large of a test sample it was, so no i dont know the proc rate, im expecting a 5% rate though

i'm personally excited for Regen IV that means scholar can heal up to 1,700 hp over time which is awesome

[Sira]

more depending on how light arts affects it

[TimeMage]

You can heal much more than 1700 HP if you spam Cure IV in that period of time. We need an increased HP healed per time, not even more MP efficiency (which is what Regen spells are for).

Don't get me wrong, I love having regen IV, but it isn't fixing anything.

Ehr... sorry about the thing on the Gown testing, wasn't really my intention to have people fight about it.
I just said I remembered reading something somewhere but I wasn't really sure myself.

As for experiencing myself that effect, I've been playing SCH 99% of the times in Abyssea only, and enmity there is so crazily spread around that I honestly never noticed the effect of "no enmity" proccing.

I got some info to give you all an idea of what the development is already working on for future scholar adjustments.

The next job adjustment focus will be on Light Arts and Dark Arts.
Below is the concept:

1. Make adjustments so that Light Arts affects the effect of Regen and Dark Arts affects the effect of Helix spells
2. Adjust the level Regen III/IV are learned
3. Adjust the level Helix spells are learned as well as their MP cost
4. Adjust the recast timer of Modus Veritas
5. Adjust the effect duration of Klimaform
6. Make adjustments to Tabula Rasa

We will be posting more information here on the forum as well as adding things to the test server some time after the September version update.

Why are storm spells subable without strom II spells?
Why are we stuck on the same cures a sub gets?
Why are we /rdm only for enfeebling magic and magic attack bonus?
How come we cannot AoE light enfeebling magic?
Why is healing magic skill useless?
Why is elemental skill useless?
Why is divine skill not even used when light arts improves it?
Why do we need Addendum black for elemental magic rdm gets?
I/E needing Addendum black for stone IV - Thunder IV at 95/99 is stupid

[MDenham]

Why is divine skill not even used when light arts improves it?

What spells linked to Divine skill do you even want?

Keep in mind that chances are the only ones you'd get are Banish, Banish II, Banish III (assuming WHM gets Banish IV next cap raise), and maybe Repose.

If you know they have Comet/Meteor you know they're gonna have Ultima. Ultima as I believe is light based magic so that means divine magic so I won't be so down towards divine magic until 99.

I'm going to disagree with this. Luminohelix works off elemental skill, so I don't see why ultima wouldn't also (considering they even give it to scholar). I also think that it would be a poor decision to add a high damage spell that would function well in light arts. Keep add.black for damage, add.light for curing.
