[dev1024] Job adjustments - RDM

[Doombringer]

Temper is just a tool, a single piece of the puzzle. It's not going to suddenly bring us to the front line, or fix our suboptimal melee. It's a nice addition, and not the only thing we're getting.

Have you seen that new sword coming out? Can't recall the name, but it's level 95, and has Drain-TP. That sounds like a fun toy to play with.

That sword won't help rdmmelee become accepted in group play. You can use it instead of almace, and your melee damage will suffer. You can sub nin or dnc and offhand it, and you lose out on the benefits of /blm or /whm, costing you a spot to any of the plethora of rdms who are willing to play the mage part of the job.

It is a solo / lowman-weak-stuff toy only.

i may be reading to far into this.. BUT! that pally goes from ws to ws in 4 swings. with a delay 213 weapon, assuming a standard tp return from swift blade (as in all 3 hits land but no DA) it SHOULD take 17 hits to reach 100% tp again. this leads me to believe that the tp absorb is quite potent.

it also shows it landing on 2/6 hits. again, laughably small sample size, but a 33% proc rate is pretty good for how potent the video implies it's effect to be.

THEN! 15 agi has a secondary subtle blow effect.

all that taken together, combined with the fact that it's a very respectable offhander ANYWAY, dmg/delay is strong and haste if you need it.. (wich i do.. @ 23% atm.. got my z tiara for those who remember) means i am fucking JAZZED for that sword.

it will slightly reduce tp fed to the mob by the wielder through it's agi, then enfeeble the mobs tp gain while at the same time buffing the wielders dmg quite significantly via what APPEARS to be a rather strong tp-drain effect.

granted this is really just an educated guess.. but i'm excited >.> also, it looks cool! ^.^
