New 2-hour Abilities

Also, as we will be making large scale changes to the below jobs' new special abilities, they will be temporarily removed from the Test Server. Once the adjustments and debugging has been completed for the new effects we will re-implement them to the Test Server.

Red mage / thief /paladin / beastmaster / bard / ranger / ninja / dragoon / corsair

When you say "large scale changes" I hope you mean the devs went back to the drawing board altogether and came up with something different, and useful, for bst.

Hmm~... I know a few BLMs would would probably love Invincible+Manafont+Chainspell... 30 seconds of unlimited back to back Blizzard or Thunder Vs!

Edit:Also, I would make my RDM become

RDM with Chainspell, Invincible & Mighty Strikes, Req would crush shit!

That's old-school Goubles. You can tell because there's no repop fomor or Yagudo behind him. Old-school Goubles eat your family and poop on your dreams.

That's called balance. They can't make us overly powerful and expect us to stick around, since nothing will be worth doing.

The point is that reducing them to one hour makes almost no difference at all when you look at how most two hours are used. It really has nothing to do with balance. By reducing the effectiveness of the "one hours" they are in effect making them useless for anything. How often do you use your 2hr?

The real issue here (whether they will admit it or not) is the development teams obvious lack experience doing anything in the game. It's pretty evident by the choices they make when nerfing things in general. Sometimes I wonder if they even play at all anymore...

Unless I am doing ADL... I use Chainspell maybe once or twice a week... give or take. If doing ADL, once or twice a day, depending on if my 2-hour is reset by a COR, which frees me up for another use.

Sounds like my kinda fun! :P

No changes for puppetmaster?? I thought the playerbase was clear on it being a complete joke...

Thank you very much for the update! I am looking forward to seeing what has been decided for the additional 2-hour abilities.!

Heh, Mighty Strikes could be used with a new JA that makes all of your swings DA?

... I small a WAR nerf incoming!

[Alerith]

Normally, my most useful 2hr is Invincible on PLD. I use it for OSHIT moments.

Then I usually get hit by Thundaga V.

Where's your aegis, bro?
