I'm seeing a pretty big imbalance between going on DD and on mage/support/etc., which leads me to a question: How in the world does momentum work? I suppose it accounts for getting 500-700 exp/bayld on a melee job, but I seem to be stuck in the 0-150 range on any mage job no matter what I do, or how fast. I'm intrigued by reives; I think it's a good concept, fast-paced, lots to do, but it seems that there's a glaring difficulty when one aspect is both necessary and well-rewarded, while the other aspects are necessary and very poorly rewarded (if rewarded at all, which is typically my case on mage jobs). I can see Geomancer being very useful for reives, though.
As a result, as much as the system looks neat and has promise, I'll probably hold off on doing too many reives until something changes, or until more information is revealed about how momentum works. Even if the Thurandaut set looks nice.

Yeah, SE really screwed up when implementing reives. Expecting a large amount of people to participate in these constantly, at this part of the game's life, is delusional.
My LS members are still not getting bayld or exp for support actions. Is it sure that this was fixed as said in the update?
My LS Mates are getting a good chunk of Exp/Bayid, While its not on part with the heavy DD in the group, They're still getting it.
Personally though, I think they just design it with the idea the Support are going to melee as well, But thats super unlikely, Especially in the Cave ones i did with Slimes (Got hit with 700~800 Dmg per AoE from the slimes)... A Mage would just get raped.
I mean, From a design perspective the event is fun and fastpaced (for a decade old game), its just fresh out of the box, It needs some adjustments, Do something constructive and Make a list of Exact things you'd like changed, Why you want them changed, How it helps/Balances, and so forth. Make a new thread about it like countless people did for Campaign adjustments.
Make your voices heard, but do it coherently, without the bold letters, capslockcruisecontrol, and angry ranting, and starcade level angsty negativity.
so far i think that liar reives is a horrible concept nothing like getting one shotted on my mandu thf with about 600 evasion but i cant seem to dodge a bee. so much for the fun idea you guys suck
