Rdm personal wishlist.

[saevel]

Actually our two LS paladins used to coordinate CDC -> CDC lights over vent, I paid attention and would time my Thunder IV's accordingly. Now one of them is on sabbatical while one of our semi-retired Xcal/Aegis PLD's returned it's a bit harder. Now adays I find myself being a member of quickly coordinated SC's.

Pld... timed SC... someone check the date it feels like 2007 all over again.

You're too patronising... No wonder you levelled RDM.

There is no greater amusement for me than this job.

And Ukko but BNS etc.

my earnest hope is for the game to get back into SCing and MBing nms. easiest way for this to happen: increase Dropped treasure in porportion to the number of SC's done, or provide a prowess effect akin to the GOV bonuses the more you SC and MB.

No. No more dumb proc gimmicks.

Indeed.

If they want people to SC > MB they only have to make it worth actually doing and people will do it.

Or design mobs around the mechanic. Like if you inflict 5000 MB damage, for a short time an HNM would lose access to a particular TP move, ideally having some kind of visual cue that it's been weakened like a limp arm/wing/tail or something. Or doing enough could break off a piece a la ToAU mobs, affecting it in some way like taking more damage, doing less, dropping things it normally wouldn't, etc..

Everyone can SC and/or Magic Burst. I don't see why SE hasn't put more emphasis on this. The ToAU mobs are actually fun to deal with, where as procing in aby just got old really quick.

I love the idea of there being a bit of extra reward for executing a SC/MB bonus. If proc'ing isn't your thing or just something that doesn't float your boat. You could always look at it as a way to add in a momentary stun, loss of spell casting or the ability to block the use tp moves.

I don't see why SC/MB is important. If SE makes it worth doing, players will do it. If SE doesn't make it worth doing, players won't do it. If you don't give a crap about whether it's worth doing or not, do it because it's fun. If it's fun, you don't really need mega super awesome bonuses for doing it - you should be doing it because it's fun.

If you're really the only person around who wants to SC/MB for fun, maybe you should find people who share more of your interests. If that means the aurore brigade can't go out and kill Kaggen, who cares? At least they'll be having fun SC'ing and MB'ing whatever they want.
