New merit additions needed

[Tsukino_Kaji]

First you say they have every weapon skill in the game, then you write a post pointing out the ones they don't have.

Mister litteral, it's called an exageration to get the point across. This is Final Fantacy the Calculator, it's FFXI. lol

BTW 8/8 takes 21 merits which is about 30min-1hr of fighting in abyssea. There for a WAR would have a skill rank of 351 of more in 9 of the 12 weapons and an A(Which most people have for a main.) ranking is 354 in a day's worth of grinding. And this doesnt' seem off balancing at all to you?

Edit: And YES you can hold 21 merits at a time. 20/20+9999, spend one, then get 1xp.

Ok, so let me get this straight - when you say warriors have every weapon skill in the game i'm suppose to assume you are exagerating to make a point. Ok, i'll keep that in mind and take all of your claims for now on as possible exagerations not meant to be taken literally

But you failed to address my point, and cooly focused on their B ranking abilities instead of realizing just how many merit points it would take just to bring their hand to hand up to par with a monk's. That would be over 80 points in merits. And the issue isn't the amount of time it would take to earn the limit points. The issue here is how many new merits they would have to add to allow a warrior to do what you are claiming they could

I'll even play the arguement your way. Let's take just their B ranked abilities then. Great Sword at 341. Scythe at 341. Staff at 335. Sword at 335. Pole Arm 325. Club 325. Dagger 325. Ok subtract all of those from a 361 rating...that is probably around 200 points, and that's just to upgrade their B ranks up to A+ ranks. That would be a ton of new merits, and that is simply to increase their B ranks to be on par with A+ skills. They would have to add a ton more for them to be able to actually surprass merited main skill abilities.

Again, the numbers just don't back your claims. You fears are exagerated much, and they would have to add so many new merits for warriors to be able to do what you claim they could it's not a realistic concern.

Um... did you read the post you quoted?

Um...yes I did.

The gist of your argument is they shoudn't add new merits to existing categories because warriors could somehow surprass other jobs be meriting their wide-range of weapon skills passed other existing jobs main skills, unbalancing the game. I'm trying to point out this is an unreaslitic concern, as they would have to add so many extra merits for warrios to be able to do this it isn't something you should be worried about.
