[dev1024] Job Adjustments - MNK (Nothing?)

[Gaiben]

I am a bit confused. Every level cap update we have gotten something. Maybe not ground shaking or even notably useful (yay skillchain bonus). But why does MNK (and WAR) get nothing new? And you can not pull the "because they already too strong" when RDM is getting double attack as a spell (which means it will stack with job trait and gear...) and WHM gets a debuff that was clearly designed for keeping RDM unique. Guess its just a good update to be a mage.

Yeah, its really lame and pathetic that not only we go nothing but all other jobs got something (even if it was dumb).

So SE, your telling me that the world of martial arts has nothing else to inspire or to show?? Is your team of development just lacking creativity or research ability?? That's lame for sure because monk is the bases of all combat and I'm sure there's more abilities that would dominate all other jobs.

What about an ability to increase defense, like 'Brace'? Or a passive trait to speed up/ haste(attack) when H P is low. Come on guys, Pld has shield skill and there's that job adj. to increase blocking with shield?? (okay, sry... ranting >.>)

Please refresh this update because nothing tangible or fun about it.

If we don't get something: people complain.

If we got something: people would still complain about it.

I am convinced these forums are full of whiney self-entitled brats. Just shut up already please.

MNK gains more per lvl then any other job in the form of H2H skill.

=WHM gets a debuff that was clearly designed for keeping RDM unique.

Clearly designed for RDM? It's been in the .dats for WHM for a long time. Aside from higher tier version, WHM has always learned the same white magic enfeebles RDM. I don't know why this would come as a surprise.

Guess its just a good update to be a mage.

See SCH and SMN.

You'd think so, but SE isn't dumb. I'm sure they adjust the +DMG of h2h weapons to balance with this, so the total DMG or % increase from base dmg won't be any higher than other jobs w/ their new weps.

See SCH and SMN.

SCH gets several spells, including a bonus to their 2hr. SMN is a pet job :P

And you may have a point about the addle thing, it was just the first thing that came to mind. I could instead mention the mini 2hr job abilities that WHM, RDM, and BLM gets.

What I would like Monk to get is something more like this http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...638#post174638. Which is not much different from what they are giving PLD and NIN. Though for there being a bunch of spells PLD doesn't get any new I think... odd.

To be honest, I think Monk should be able to gain different fighting styles throughout these updates. There's so many forms of martial arts in the world, yet... we're stuck with two, one virtually useless. (Here's looking at you Footwork.) I.e. Things like Wing Chun , Aikido and Capoeira to name a few. Each one enhancing something of Monk, and not giving it something incredibly debilitating. (Like Counterstance lowering complete defense.) Just a few thoughts as to what could of been added.
