Idea for new merits under "OTHERS" category

[Slib]

I have been looking at my merits and wondered why the OTHERS category was so small in options and was wondering if there could be more added to it.

Most of the stuff that came to mind was the following...

Save TP + 2/4/6/8/10
Conserve TP +2/4/6/8/10
Conserve MP +2/4/6/8/10
Occult Accumen +1%/2%/3%/4%/5%
TP Bonus +5/10/15/20/25
Block Rate +1%/2%/3%/4%/5%
Fast Cast +1%/2%/3%/4%/5%
Haste +1%/2%/3%/4%/5%

And to finish it off maybe allow 15 total points into it up from 10 points.

Any thoughts or additions?


Edit #1: Took Store TP out since Samurai get this under job specific merits.

[Raksha]

cure potency would be the only other i could think of.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Whm only catagory 3.

[Arcon]

Only if they actually let us merit all of them. Choosing 2 from 5 was already painful, choosing 2 from 12 is just torture.

[Arlios]

Clear Mind, Magic Burst Bonus, Skill chain Bonus might be some others to consider. Could also consider Magic Defense bonus but then you run into the call why isn't Attack bonus or magic attack bonus there. Either way any of these would be a welcome upgrade to merits!

I'd actually remove haste from that list. I can see that actually being overpowered (even if you only count it as gear-haste).

Also, I think it'd be better to have those in a separate grouping from the current ones.

Occult Accumen would be kinda nice to have on BLU

Wouldn't work. Doesn't work BLU/DRK.

Most of those are traits specific to jobs they shouldn't be included.

Others should be traits etc accessible by all naturally just like the current ones are.

So TP Bonus+ I'd say sure to, but in that list that is all.

Remove things that other jobs already have under job specific like Store TP. Should be traits that no job has already for other:

HP healed while resting
MP healed while resting
Fast Cast
Magic Evasion
Defense
Magic Defense
Cure Potency
etc

Fast Cast is supposed to be Job Specific.

Probably because it only applies to elemental magic, afaik. No reason it couldn't be changed for a merit category.

how things are now I could see

Magic Other

Magic Crit rate +
Magic Evasion +
Cure pot. Recieved +
Cure Pot. +
Resist status effect +

each 5 points max, max of 10 merits total
