[byr1001] Uncapping the Merit Point Categories

[Daniel_Hatcher]

I think Matsui wants us to put all these ideas into the thread he opened though. Byrth why don't you sum up your initial post and post it there on that thread? Also putting a link to this thread for further and more detailed explanation.

Just copy paste it I know I'll like.

IT'S OVER 9000!! i remember seeing some Galka pld toying around with a max hp build and excalibur pretty sure he was rocking 8k, same video or at least same galka did it on mnk too defiantly broke it without brewing!

That said back on topic please reconsider dev bros.

[Raksha]

think a galka mnk or pld/mnk with HP atmas can break 9k <.<

Personally I think it's a terrible idea.

I main pup, all the goodies I get go into pup, I love the job.

But... rarely do I get to do events as pup. At least currently I can play another job for events, but if they were to uncap merits I'd be SOL.

Maybe it's because I just woke up and am still semi-drunk from last night, but I honestly don't see how that would hurt you. How would you be unable to go as PUP if merits category caps were removed?

I would like to know this as well.

Here's a thought. Have merits set for individual jobs instead of all at once.

For example, you have a player named Samwell. He plays White Mage, Paladin and Monk. When he he changes to White Mage, his merits change to where his MP, eminity down, staff and club skills (as well as the merit weapon skills) are maxed. He changes to Monk and his HP, H2H and club skills (again, as well as the merit weapon skills) are maxed. He changes to Paladin and his eminity up is maxed, his HP/MP are equaly merited, and his Sword, Club, and Staff skills (as well as WS) are maxed.

That's the same as removing category caps... except for the Enmity+/- merits, but enmity is broken anyway so if you still have those lolRDM will laugh at you!

I assume you're referring to the weaponskill merits, since those are the only merits that differ drastically from one job to the next.

I can not imagine a combination of three weaponskills that would make Puppetmaster more or less valid in any situation. At best, the job is coming out ahead rather than behind other "light" or "utility" melee jobs because Shijin Spiral is pretty decent and Requiscat or Extenerator are completely absent, but still doing the same things in the same general tier.

Your pet that can't receive outside buffs still sucks in the situations where pure-damage melee perform best, and you still have two weapon-skills left over after Shijin Spiral.

I going to join the "I don't get it!" club. Are you guys serving pie? Do we have punch? Should I bring a pie?

What is worse is the cap on the Weapon Skill Merits. (I completely support a full uncap Byrth, and you have all of my +"Like")

I currently play THF and DRK. I have Exenterator, Entropy and Resolution. I now cannot play any other job because I won't have the weaponskill for it. My BST can't use Ruinator, my BLU can't use Requiescat, My THF can't use Last Stand etc.

Why can I get EVERY Mythic Weapon Skill in the game, but I can't merit each of the merit weapon skills?

I want to play my other jobs, but having to get 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 Merits to cap a weapon skill and then tha same to change it back just to play a job for a day is retarded.
