Could be... could be.

Off the top of my head:

SMN got 4(1 in german)

BRD got 1

SCH got 4

SAM got 2

DNC got 1

NIN got 1

RNG got 1

DRG got 1

BLU got 1

COR got 1

MNK got 1

PLD got 2

RDM got 1

DRK got 1

PUP got 1

THF got 1

I believe BST got one as well now that I'm looking, and while I could have swore RNG got multiple posts I haven't been able to find it yet.

That leaves WAR, WHM, and BLM (ignoring the Meteor/Comet confirmation post).

I don't think that WAR is going to get one because nobody has been asking for anything. We are already a top job in the game, and any improvement will further ourselves away from the rest of the pack. We are already getting our own JA for Crit Attack and our own JA to change weapon damage type to anything we want, which both of those JAs will be outstanding. Throw in more DA and Haste gear (preferably both in the same slot, like Haste +7% DA+5% on the hat slot) and we are golden.

Although, I won't say no to a JA haste for WAR.

Now..I have seen some pretty sweet spells, but this new spell "Merton" for SCH is awesome.

Check it out:



We are still working out all the details, but we are planning to make it similar to the -ja-type BLM spells where the damage multiplies with each cast, along with the spell dealing initial damage as well as DoT. The DoT is the main attraction of this spell, so we wanted to show you how the HP gets lower and lower after the initial hit, however, no matter what we tried we it turned out to be too low-key and decided to go with this instead.

Yeh...I didn't realize that until it was too late. Then I tried to delete it but you ALREADY POSTED! Thanks a lot Krabnuckle

Then I tried to delete it but

But you added some juicy information on what the team was thinking when they produced the video. You can't delete that! D:

Onward to my comment, if nobody else replies in between now and the time I finally hit the send button... I've already got to see three posts in between now and the original comment I was posting:

Does this count as a fifth update for Scholar, or is it still part of the forth?

I don't think that WAR is going to get one because nobody has been asking for anything.

I recently checked the WAR forum, and besides a thread suggesting that WAR should get access to all non-ranged WS, I didn't really see and suggestions, and there were very few questions. Like Warrior, Black Mage also has a lot of job security, especially since they already got word of Meteor and Comet, and they're forums is mostly asking for bigger spells. (If any class has priorities, I would have to say it is Black Mage. I love you guys.) I really don't see either of these classes losing any sleep over some other class overshadowing them, particularly if, I dunno, they lost exclusivity on one spell or ability.

This could be a reason for a lack of Q&A for either of them. That said, I'd still like to see some more plans for these jobs. There is also a pretty lengthy list of suggestions, questions, and even demands from White Mage. And while I'm very happy to see new updates for any job, I'd like to know more about SE's designs for the remaining ones.

you can't escape my Private Eyes
they're watching you, they see your every move

But yah, what Econo said :P you added a bit more info which is good ^^

[Nidhogg]

How long until there is a translation correction from Merton to Meltdown?

[Karbuncle]

Probably couldn't use Meltdown because its a TP move used by Dolls?

I guess it could work though, i was just listing a possible reasoning for the name.
