[dev1058] RDM Merit 2 Hour

[Llana_Virren]

Actually honestly don't know what I was on about there. I checked it earlier while writing this post, and saw D instead of the actual rating lol. Just got my brain confuddled. However the lack of AoE is still correct, barring a sub job. Hardly the main point of the post though.

Maybe you saw SCH's native rating sans Arts?

Nevertheless, our B+ rated skill has, thusfar, been almost as laughable as our A+ skill is.

One of the problems is that it doesn't affect a whole lot. What does Enhancing skill manipulate; Bar-spells, En-spells, Stoneskin? Phalanx, maybe Aquaveil?

Would it be so wrong if we could improve Refresh and Regen with Enhancing skill, improve Protect and Shell, maybe improve the accuracy of Blink's shadows? Would it be wrong for more generous defense tiers on Bar-spells, more generous damage caps for tier 1 En-spells, to calculate tier 2 En-spells per cast instead of per attack?

Enhancing skill encompasses an extensive list of spells, but doesn't do much for many of them.

Enhancing does a lot for RDM, but only for the RDM. This wouldn't be that bad if SE introduced a larger variety of spells to buff ourselves / alter our casting and melee stats, but as it stands it's kinda sh1t. RDM needs more JA / JT / spells (basically the entire job needs rebuilt) to give it a purpose, even if that purpose is to quickly change job roles.

I meant Enhancing skill itself. It manipulates a few Enhancing spell lines (Phalanx, Stoneskin, Bar- spells, En-spells, Spikes spells, Gain spells), while the remaining, pivotal few are static (Refresh, Regen, Protect, Shell, Blink, Aquaveil, Haste) and probably could stand to be more dynamic.
