Dragoon Updates!

T1 ZNM Chamrosh Dragoon's earring Do you need it?

I probably will never have a drg high enough to use Cure breath myself but.

The earring affects elemental breaths, not necessarily status removal breaths (Nothing to test this on until now and I doubt people want to waste their time doing so). If you plan on fighting a mob with doom, you should have holy water if you qualify as a "good player."

Though I hate binary options, it comes down to:
1. Prioritize doom: Have one chance at removal (Not a 100% removal as they mentioned) at the risk of paralyzing subsequent holy water spam.
2. Prioritize paralyze: Opportunity to spam holy waters without interference

For Merit group2 adjustments, please consider:

Empathy: Please let this transfer up to 5 statuses to the Wyvern regardless of how many merits are in it. Addional merits can either:1) enhance the regen effect or regen duration of Spirit Link or 2)increase duration of buffs given to the wyvern.

Deep Breathing: In line with the other Job Abilities that utilize merit points to decrease recast time, Deep Breathing's recast should be reduced to 5 minutes. Further merits should grant a 'Stoneskin' effect to the target based on the amount of HP healed from Healing Breath. This would be similar in effect to a Cure spell casted on a player while under the effect if Afflatus:Solace. For Elemental Breaths, the target could sustain increased damage towards the matching element of the elemental breath for a short period of time similar to the effect of Quickdraw with Navarch's bottes +2.

Hey guys, important question here:
Does cure potency received gear effect heal breaths?

edit: it doesnt'

[Duzell]

Got to love how the american players pretty much unanimusly said doom should be #1 priority for status removal and they spit in our face and make it #3. Nice Trolling SE why bother even asking english players opionons when the dev team only obeys the japanese boards...

Sorry double post, but if your really a "good" player you would find someone who leveled alchemy and be spamming Hallowed waters, which have a much higher rate of removing doom.

If we're suggesting group 2 adjustments I would love to see Angon always being at max duration at 1/5 merits, but for every extra merit in it the defense down effect is increased by 2% or so~?

They said they only intended to alter merit abilities that have "Recast varies with Merit Points"

[Silkavenger]

Deep breathing is recast varies, so it's at least relevant to discuss that one. I support cure skin/elem debuff on deep breathing!

Also before getting toooooo upset about the devs weighting JP opinion over NA opinion check the census and see how many times more of them there are of us. It's less likely that they are racially overconsidered and more likely that they just out-vote us.

So no Empathy changes will come then either? Hopefully SE rethinks that.

Not many, if any, Alchemists have the KI needed to make the item and you can only be a good player for yourself.
