    Increase the range of Devotion please!

    This job ability is kinda neat, but it's also maddening how often I get "out of range" messages while using it. Can the range be increased, to be maybe somewhat closer to the range of cure spells?

    Also make sure to beat up any evil elvaans along the way, as we all know tarus are the ultimate race.

    Would be nice; I never understood while it was short range in the first place :S

    I want to say that this was suggested many, many moons ago and that it was shot down because some bro on the development team wanted Devotion to require movement/endangerment on part of the White Mage.

    I really hope I'm just imagining this, though.

    Something from the developers was posted in the big WHM thread saying something similar about self-target AoE enhancing spells - they made them self-target only because they were "so powerful" and wanted their use to be a risk. It wouldn't surprise me if they still saw Devotion in the same light. Completely absurd if you ask me. I would also like Devotion's range increased.

    "So powerful"? Devotion isn't that great. I mean, it's a couple hundred MP every 12:50 to 20:00. Hardly a game breaker.

    Every 12:50? I take it people still merit Protectra V?

    I actually 5/5 Devotion, since I enjoy being able to give a boost to party member's MP when they're low. If someone asks me to Protectra the party I can eat the MP cost of Accession for the five extra defense.

    Still, 250 MP (or a bit extra when I bother to gear for HP) isn't exactly game breaking enough to march into battle for it, unless the fight is a joke, which it often is when I'm around.

    Yeah, Devotion isn't what it was back when Tier II merits were introduced. 250-350 MP every ten minutes isn't a huge bonus at all, considering the MP recovery that is possible now.

    Sadly, I consider it as better to 5/5 then any other merit I have a choice about (since as a White Mage I'm contractually obligated to 5/5 Shellra for the 3% MDB it provides over Shell V).

    I totally agree and I'm 5/5 on Devotion and Shellra V as well.

    It's safe to say that I am looking forward to the update on the effects of merited abilities and whatnot.
