SE, Temper Activation Rate

[Daniel_Hatcher]

I agree, this is a nice spell, but totally unnecessary. They need to add spells that get Red Mages "enfeebling master" role back before they add things like this.

FFXI needs some big dot spells, and some enfeebles need to be fixed / added.

as far as SE is concerned SCH is the DoT experts, they're also fixing Enfeebles for RDM. This is merely an addition that has no real effect on the Dev's time it's not going to be some crazy amount of time to make a spell that grants a double attack trait temporarily.

The previous poster has no real concept of RDM, it sees RDM as simply a buffer so it's not too wise to agree with them. At least your reply was on what something RDM actually should do Enfeebling.

As it was said before it was a mistake on the translation side. RDM is a master of Enfeebling and Self Buffs.

Waste of dev time, RDM is not a melee job :/.

Comments like this are not helpful. There are times, especially soloing (something that RDMs do a lot) when it is beneficial. In a group fighting NMs, no, of course you're not going to do it. However, that doesn't mean that RDM's sword capability, which was originally designed as part of the job, can't be enhanced for any reason.

Thanks for all your feedback on Temper.

Based on all the feedback we have received on the forum and the test server, we will be making it so Temper’s activation rate increases with higher enhancing magic skill. (Of course there will be a cap)

In regards to the effect, when considering that the double attack can be stacked with other things besides just enhancing magic skill, such as equipment, etc., and can also be used with en-spells, we set it accordingly.

Hurray~~~. You certainly put my translation to shame, Camate. Any word or even a hint of what that cap may be? >.>;

[Seriha]

With it being a magical equivalent of Double Attack, a cap is understandable with other gear added on top. 10-15% would be a number many of us would be comfortable with with that in mind, but more won't be argued against. Hopefully the devs will wind up thinking similarly.

Personally I'd say 20% simply due to the fact even with that percentage it's hardly going to make RDM some melee crazy fighter.

1). Yes, double attack experiences decreasing returns. As does Haste. As does Dual-Wield. As does nearly every stat in the game.

No... Really no.

Haste receives exponential returns, due to how it effects attack delay.

Dual Wield receives decreasing returns because it reduces TP per hit gain and contributes to the overall 'delay reduction' cap. Making it a soft competitor to haste.

Double Attack is a flat rate of return. 5% double attack means 5% of your attacks that strike normally will attack twice instead. This works globally across the board.

You cannot lump these together, at all.

Waste of dev time, RDM is not a melee job :/

Correct, it is a Hybrid job. {Please check it.}

If you wish to focus entirely on the mage aspects of the job, you are free to do so. But I do not agree in harping the Developers for giving attention to the aspects of a job class long neglected in the development cycle. High end-game play is not the sole content of the game nor should it be regarded as such.

Additionally, what is this 'invite' you speak of? Most events that occur are done within groupings of friends or associates. In which case Meleeing is an option depending on the acceptability of your peers in relation to the difficulty of the event.

You also assume the development team isn't multitasking other developments at well, to which I say you're both incorrect and impatient. I'd rather them work on both aspects of the job with equal care and consideration.

Temper was so far, done poorly, would you like them to be screwing up the support aspects like that as well? If nothing else, consider these buffs as training for what they should be doing with our support role.

In the meanwhile, you may stow away your absolutist ideal. We're still not sure how the entirety of the changes coming down the pipeline will effect RDM and job/endgame dynamics as whole.

I heart you!

Correct, it is a Hybrid job. {Please check it.}

Please note: It is a hybrid Black Mage / White Mage. If you were supposed to be on the front line, you would already be there. You would natively get good WS for your primary weapon, etc.

@Hyrist, buffing a role that serves no purpose and will not improve the job in real situations is a complete waste of time. Sure it's a fun soloing and screwing around tool, but the job is HURTING badly when it comes to group oriented content, the main focus should be group oriented hard content before a screw around tool for soloing. You can already melee everything that isn't hard content. No one is stopping you from going and meleeing ep mobs, there's almost nothing to be had from them either, so why buff something that won't benefit the job in real situations?

Waste of dev time.

[FrankReynolds]

Waste of dev time.

That was the main thing I was agreeing with. They seem really busy. There are more important things.
