[dev1049] New weapon skills

So you already realized being "gimp" or not is depending on other player's level. If everyone has AF3, you're using perle, then you're "gimp". If only 2% of player has AF3, and you're using perle, then you're just average.

So you have 3 merit WS, and every other player also have 3, idk what's so gimp about it. The amount of merit WS you have isn't lower than other ppl.

This is the part I have a problem with. I honestly didn't read the rest because I'm getting bored of it.

First part is correct. Not having the baseline gear makes you a gimp.

Second part is just..... Look... if everyone can only be good at three jobs, that is a problem.

Since you didn't read the rest, I guess you missed the most important point in the post, that merit WS won't become the baseline of the job because not everyone will have it on that job.


And second part.......I already stress this over and over, but I guess you won't get it then. Allowing a player lose focus on one(or few) job in a MMORPG does more harm than good. I think That's one of the biggest complain in FFXIV, that there are very little to distinguish between each player.

It is the baseline. You are not getting into any events on jobs with sub par damage. Everyone else will be on the jobs that they have merited ws for. That is the baseline that you will be compared to.

FFXIV sucks on so many different levels that its not even comparable. Forcing a player to only focus on three jobs is not going to make the game better. It's going to force people to sacrifice merits in jobs they like so that they can put them into the jobs that LS and Group leaders and / or the community in general wants them to. IE. I want to put merits into GA right now, but I had to remove them so that I could get Staff red proc. That is lame, although far less severe than say removing a skill entirely.
