[dev1041] Relic Armor Upgrades

Dispel(ga)s and buff overwriting auras in content added since the +2 set's implementation kinda take the wind out of the +2 sails for me. For personal use, we only need the boots and cape to get the most out of self-buff duration. Granted, these are also the spells we want +enhancing on in most cases.

Agreed. Also my younger sister just got the flu and it floored her. I hope you are feeling better, because she is an absolute mess right now.

Maybe 70% or so. My stomach/ribs are still aching from all the cookie tossing I did sunday/monday. Wouldn't say my general energy level is peak, either. Getting there, but this experience has my pondering getting flu shots in the future.

Oops, well Dia X then huh.

[ManaKing]

I just want Dia 3 to be a normal spell and for us to have merits in Dia effect. That way if we get Dia IV, then I can still appreciate my Dia Merits. I hope things change after merits are changed. I can't see anything changing until then.

The bottom line is almost anything is better than what we have right now. I would completely agree that RDM needs an upgrade to it's spell library. We still stink of level 75.

Red Mages circa 2005: Refresh/Haste cycles suck, make it so we don't spend all our time rebuffing people.

Red Mages circa 2011: Doubling duration on Refresh/Haste sucks, give us something else.

Our set bonus is useful. Get over it.

[Neisan_Quetz]

I always saw set bonuses as something extra in the first place. And for supporting others, near double duration including cape is a nice bonus. Could be nicer but I'm certainly not complaining about it. The individual pieces themselves all have enough merit to warrant bringing them anyway, the set bonus is just that: a bonus.

You typically won't get more than 2 piece bonus for phalanx though, if you're maxing out enhancing skill, unless someone can point me in the direction of an enhancing skill headpiece.

[Crimson_Slasher]

I like our set bonus...that is until i get on sch, Perpetuance = set bonus+1, and they can enhance that AND aoe it far more often than we can, and arent tied to gear to get just double length. I think thats my only gripe about this set bonus, but there are a lot of set bonuses that are just better for their jobs.

[Greatguardian]

I'd rather they leave the set bonus as is and just rework the dMND formulas for Slow II, Paralyze II, and Addle. Change Saboteur so that it is only consumed when an Enfeeble lands on the target. Remove NM immunity and just give them manageable but high Magic Evasion.

NMs are supposed to become easier when Enfeebled. That's not a bad thing. If SE thinks that NMs will be too easy if we can enfeeble them, then maybe they should make them harder to begin with.
