I wish that's what the link said, but:
Given that they're replying specifically to a question about Ninja, Dark Knight, and Blue Mage and don't mention skillchains at all, I would be unsurprised to see skillchains left out of that update... especially when they call it "not a bug" on these support forums.Do you plan to continue to strengthen the magic accuracy for dark knight, blue mage, and ninja?
Although we will be adding some magic accuracy on certain armor pieces, the main method of implementing this change will be to increase both magic damage and magic accuracy in proportion with the combat skill present on the equipped main weapon.
An across-the-board boost to magic accuracy proportional to main weapon skill/iLevel would necessitate the adjustment of gear like Atinian Staff and would unbalance support jobs (which would now be easily usable like mains in level 75 content), so it seems more likely that they're going to ghetto code in some specific cases for those jobs.
This is just one more example of why iLevel was a terrible idea.
