Third Tier

[Babekeke]

BLU:T3 Merits:
Azure Acumen: Grants TP from every spell cast, equal to 5% of the MP cost. (+3% per merit)
Containment: In an attempt to contain your bestial abilities, you lose control. The power of the next physical spell cast is multiplied by 5% in addition to an accuracy bonus 5 per merit.
Relapse: The beast inside hungers. You gain the ability to drain TP, HP or MP with each physical spell for 30 seconds (+5 per merit) up to a total of 5% of the damage done.
Alienation: Your powers have torn you apart from the social structures of the world. When you are not in a party or an alliance, you gain an accuracy, attack and critical hit rate bonus (5% -> 2% -> 1% -> 1% -> 1%).

From what Camate was saying, the T3 merits will be enhanements to the original 2 hour. Your suggestions are more likely to be part of the 'revuise T1/T2 merits'.

If it's true that T3 merits deal with 2hours, someone needs to walk up to every dev and slap them with the back of a glove

Here is a revised order of test server implementation:
1. Raise the level cap to 99
2. Raise the maximum limit for merit points
3. Adjust merit points groups 1 and 2
4. Add new two-hour abilities
5. Add merit points group 3

We will let you know once we finalize all of the details.

1) and 2) Good, I am sure alot of Gamers have been looking forward to that.
3) It will be interesting to see what You will do under this sub-heading.
4) I only have one issue against an extra 2hr and that is the shared timer. To give everything you've got, once more, after exerting a mass amount energy has been carried out many times in our history; be it sports or war. Everyone has their own way of describing this burst of Adrenaline. In high school, I called it getting your 'Second Wind'. (Not being sarcastic. If I came off that way I appologize). Perhaps an adjustment can be made. If You use both 2hrs, within the time frame of One hour, you are reduce to a weaken state. Which does make sense, because in real life if you do go all-out 'twice', You should be tired. This maybe an option if game balance is what you seek.
5) The very reason why the thread is created. Will any of the ideas that's been discusss be implemented? The Dev Team have ample amount of data to pick and choose from per job class.

Once again, Thank You for reviewing everyone's post.

heres a totally off the wall sugestion.... make T1 merits Xfer when sub jobbed. this would open up a whole new world for people. Keep T2 & T3 exclusive and make them what will further define that role.

This isn't a bad suggestion, I can't think of any T1 merits that would really be overpowered beyond merited store tp.

If not, make a merit category specifically for when you set the job as a sub. (Honestly I can't imagine it being THAT much work making merits, specially when they are as simple as "Double Attack +1~5%"

While I like the idea, it would mean I'd have to level SAM just to merit it. SE should make it possible to spend merits on jobs you don't have to 75 yet anyway, not like it'll be of much use before then. I never really understood why it wasn't possible.

Doesn't that make sense by SE?

Get every job to 75 just to sub it, more time sink, more moneys for them

I like all of these suggestions! Only thing I would do would be to increase the effect per merit, especially on the recast. This is a 2 hour ability. You should be able to merit it down to 1 hour at least.
