don't forget BST's COOL NEW ABILITY

WASTE GIL = make your pet no one cares about stronger for five minutes and then watch your gil go down the toilet! WOO HOO!

Also, did BLM really need to get all the best boosts? I mean wasn't it the most played/popular job in the last survey? How about some boosts for jobs THAT ACTUALLY NEED IT.

I am just gobsmacked that SCH got pretty much nothing but a TWO HOUR spells and BLM gets a whole crapton of cool spells and an MP saving ability. I mean, what the hell.

I think SCH is underused because people don't understand SCH or how it works. Yes if you want a healer in Aby you invite a WHM because even with Rapture SCH will have a hard time keeping people alive for certain NMs. I am actually frequently explaining how SCH isn't RDM and what it can do and what it's actually useful for. People who team up with me know that SCH is a great job in Aby, sure it sucks on the proccing side and isn't a great main healer, but not all parties in Aby require everybody to help proc - seals parties tend to be done with the fewest people to avoid competition between seals, so it's harder to get invited to a seals party with a SCH (people normally ask if I have a WHM or a BLM instead). I think people just forget about SCH, normally I find people think of SCH as the RDM who sucks at melee, therefore assume it has a similar spell list.

What I really think SCH needs is for their current spell set to be more potent, except the nukes of course. Stormsurge only gives +7 boosts, which in Aby isn't that noticeable, the enmity spells...they could be very useful if they were better - it would be a great complement to a party, tanks would find it harder to lose hate and the BLM's can continue to spam. Our helices should be our main asset, huge DoT spells, fantastic for NM kiting, go /RDM, Gravity + Helix = claimed mob & slow mob & mob losing HP, have used that trick when I've had a tank charmed (sleep tank, kite mob). So the Modus Veritas fix is much needed.

So I don't think the current adjustments for SCH are important as I feel there are areas of SCH that needs more attention. However, I am not against the adjustments, I don't use Tabula Rasa, it seems I have an excuse to now but I do fear Merton's only applied usage will be to cap Azure. However, if that's all people use it for, I'll still try to make a better usage of it. I do feel Embrava should not be a 2hr, I think it would actually be a great SCH fix - a better Regain and a strong regen and SCH's own version of haste...well, I can imagine the haste would be stepping on toes, but for me it's the Gradual HP restore that gives interest. If it's potent, it might help solve SCH's issue as a healer, if it was like their helix spells this + Cure IV would give SCH an edge without being a WHM. But then I don't know the duration of the spell or how effective it'll be. I would like SCH to stick to exclusives and be considered useful for what it does, Embrava is probably the only new addition that follows the nature of SCH, but...you've only be able to do it on a 2hr. :/

At least this is my opinion as SCH, I suspect people will disagree. :P

alot of jobs use to be amazing so long ago.

Multi hit WS that gave actualy decient TP per hit return.

utsemi that blocked AoEs

enfeebles that would stick and not wear off because some other rdm that decided to tag along and not help cure, has to recast all dbuffs 1st.

Plds that tanked reguardless of damage they deal.

thfs that were usefull for actually pulling mobs to a safe camp so people could kill in a reasonable manner.. Now it just chaos people runnin arround doing w/e the hell to kill asap as if ya get a exp chain bonus in aby..

And its like this for pretty much every job -2.. 3 jobs... What once was amazing isnt really anymore...

Sure cor is making out decient this time arround but.. you dont proc in aby so atm still no one cares about ya..

Not tryn to be mean its just how it is. Can say people are jerks for not inviting the "sub par" jobs but in reality SE is to blame.

SE is to blame for catering to cheaters. Cauz it would be too much to ask for PC only servers where pretend leet players could cheat them selves into the next dimention of trash. (much of the nerfing in this game is thanks to cheaters making things unplayable for real players, SE has no desire to prevent people from cheating.. only punishing everyone... legit players pay the price while cheaters find the next exploit to further ruin the game)

Se is to blame for watered down jobs and content. Cauz the coding to give rdm c5 is just so much hard work. Its much easier to make generic atmas to be used as a crutch for people that cant really make it any other way.

Se is to blame for not really listening to its players. If se was listening... and this is what we get.. ambush.. aura steal... watered down version of the 2hrs we prolly rarely use anyway... Then do us all a favor and stop listening.. Things seem to only be geting worse since SE decided to up the LV cap to compete with a crap game like WoW.

We dont care what WoW is doing.. good for them. but its a bad game.. If it was a good game we would be playn it wouldnt we. Id rather ya rip off of PSO. That game is atleast fun to mess arround on.

All we can do is complain and hope things change for the better..

If se wants to improve pup.. they should be able to take over the controlls of any other player and play the character.. Go throw some mnks off a cliff...

Man when I LVd bst I never once used a jug pet. charm only.. The day SE nerfed leave(mpk nerf) the job died to me. Was one of the most fun jobs to play before that.

[user201108211515]

On a side note.. Considering this is the "idiocy" post...

what is it with the lame insults online thease days... umad.. ucryn. qq more.. Thease are all in the same sad catagory as your mom jokes.. If ya gonna insult people at least put some thought into it otherwise you only insult your self...

[Olor]

Now charm is essentially useless.

[tinydog]
