[dev1087] Job Adjustments: White Mage

[Daniel_Hatcher]

How about adding like a 10-15second invincible effect so you can get up and move away from the monster without getting destroyed while still in the animation?

That should be on all raises, if they insist on such stupid animations, then it should be like more-or-less EVERY other game in that there is a delay on dying again. Even if it blocks /attack /magic /ja etc... in the process.

Camate could you please relate to the developers to stop making new contents where "a select few" will be able to obtain it. Everyone here pays the same amount of money EACH month. Contents should be accessible to ALL and not "select few". Look back at Abyssea and how it implemented a measured progression that is accessible to all. Stop making contents where everything is based on LUCK and chance - or contents with so little rewards or too difficult to do where the 95% of the players won't bother to do it. If the team is smaller and have less funds for development and need to prioritize then please focus on contents that can be enjoyed by ALL players. Please stop wasting time and effort for this so called "exclusive" contents, the majority does not like it and it tends to be very unpopular.

Thank you very much for reading our comments, I know some of them are not always in a positive notes.

Not sure if this needs to be said, but nobody cares about XP loss these days. A very short invincible on raise would be awesome though. Its no more overpowered than tractor and works in abyssea.

I'm interested in whether the shortened weakness will negate double weakness. For instance, if you are killed with weakness on, and somebody casts arise on you, do you raise with a shortened double weakness, or a shortened single weakness? If it's the latter, then this spell is incredibly useful for BLMs and RNGs who become pretty much useless under double weakness.

I agree with the comments about the temporary invincibility, at least for the duration of the animation.
Inb4 "That's why Arise has RRIII effect!".

Also about the weakened removing argument, what about Reviviscence? Make it a 99 thing based on Healing Magic or something or even part of those "second 2h abilities" SE was talking about time ago. Or I guess Benediction would do too.

I see one minor issue (to the development team it will probably be the reason why they won't do it :\)

If you are invincible from all damage for 5, 10, 15 sec after getting up, it can cause abuse. If you die in a field of something that aggros and you get up, you'll have enough time to run out of range and die safely so you can get raised up. It sounds like a cool thing, but I don't agree with it.

I don't think it would be possible to make 5+ people zombie it and invincible tank it, can't think of any way that could be done, so that isn't an issue... I think.

The only way it could work without abuse I think is if it's not a set time, rather when you are locked in place. I'm sure they could tie it together with the bound-like status. If that was possible then yea, I would agree with it. Just not a specified timer.

Not just for Arise, but as an adjustment to Raise overall

Holy Crab.

[Camate]

With tomorrow’s test server update, it will be possible to cast Arise. Please be sure to check out the recast time, MP cost, etc.

There have been some requests asking to make characters that have just been revived invincible for a short time. Not just for Arise, but as an adjustment to Raise overall, we will try and see whether or not we can eliminate the damage from AoE attacks during the raise animation. In other words, we need to confirm whether it is possible. This will take some time and it is very possible that the result is that it is not possible, so we appreciate your understanding if this turns out to be the case.

I'm very happy that this is being tried or considered at all, even if it doesn't work out.

Oh please god say it's possible.
