IDK about this....it's starting feel like they ninja'd a tweak to the skills' proc rates on us. May not have been a tweak specifically to the skillup rate, but a tweak to how often the skills proc, which would increase the skillup rate by extension.

I just got 24 points to guard on MNK working on the +3 tier WS line in Abyssea and my guard is grossly underleveled (still in the mid 60's). While working on WHM WS club line with /SAM (parry was roughly ~150 from sub)--I continually saw parry proc on level 80-ish flies both in Abyssea and Riverne (also got like 15 skillups on Shield to take it to 234 or something like that). Just geared up on SAM and was running around trying different camps for it's +3 trial, and was seeing Parry proc a lot, but the targets I finally decided to use on this trial are too low for it to skill (parry approaching 76 caps on NIN & SAM), but it is parsing a lot on them too.

So, if you're having trouble getting it to skill, might need to review your targets if it is parsing a lot like I'm seeing and you aren't getting the skillups--maybe try some elshina or something too. If it's not proc'ing a lot, might also be your gear and/or job choices getting in the way (evasion/AGL bonuses).
