What's included in today's version update?

I had just said in game "Expect an e-maint" when they announced, I just didn't expect a 5h one.

Funny how this thread was posted after the update info was posted.

During the window of time in which players may perform magic bursts after a skillchain, the target's resistance to the skillchain's corresponding element(s) will now decrease.

Why are they doing this?

Some of those spell dats look great - was that a meteor? What do you suppose the blue spells are?

Well, when you do a Light skillchain to a mob that is resistant to thunder magic, when you magic burst Burst II on it, instead of a 10% chance of doing full damage, you now have a 15~25% chance of doing full damage and the rest in resisted damage.

Blah, for some reason I read this wrong. I thought they said they time window for MB's was going to decrease. >< I must be too tired.

[Alhanelem]

No. It means that the mobs resistance to the elements of the skillchain will be decreased. E.g. if the mob is hit with a fusion skillchain, the mob's resistance to fire and light is reduced for a few seconds (during the time that a magic burst could happen).

How is this really nice COR tweak in a MINOR version update ***

[Calexis]

Ya, I got it. It'll be nice. I should go to sleep instead of wishing the maintenance was done.

love how he thinks sam is #1 in abyssea or out side of it for that matter, really drgs new jump do more damage then jump/high jump, they give more tp and incease to crit hit for a job that has one of the best WS(not the best for lolreaders on here) in the game inside and out of abyssea. Not to mention that we still have angon which outside of abyssea is still very useful on zergs.

No what's annoying is the fact that Samurai has stolen an ability from Dancer (yes they had the ability to "ready target for skillchain") so why is it that Samurai is got this ability? Oh, and with this new ability they can indeed solo light with only one ws, meaning if you combine that new ability with there Sekki ability they get their two hour every 3 min, now if you say that isn't going to bring them up on the chain of wanted DD then you are insane.

And yes the Corsair update was not good to begin with, SE stated themselves they wanted to give them a bonus to COR AND PARTY, the way it works now is that it forces Corsair to XI or bust in order to "help the party" and we don't get a bonus effect at all, I would love some confirmation that this is only part1 to the Corsair roll update, or I will be a sad person, because like I said (and having played this game since the NA release) it's quite clear that SE favors a small handful of jobs over any and all other jobs.

Just because they might not know what to do with the job it doesn't mean that all these wonderful suggestions for the jobs should be completely ignored, a lot of ideas that get posted here (and more so over on FFXIclopedia before these forums came to be) had AMAZING job ideas and suggestions that were well thought out and planned. So yeah, sorry for seeming a bit rude but two of my main jobs basically got the shaft this update, so it really doesn't seem anything like an "update" to me, no matter how mini it was.
