[dev1006] Merit Points

[Catsby]

It would be awesome to see job specific categories rebuilt. I would say a good half of the options in cat1 and 2 are too weak for people to consider upgrading. Take Thief's category 2 abilities for example;

assassin's charge - forcing a triple attack is great but most dagger weaponskills that are used already hit multiple times making the ability less effective. the recast is also too long unless you go 5/5 and even then it's still forever.
feint - dropping target evasion was awesome when this ability was first introduced but since then tons of new abilities, spells and gear were also introduced making this ability largely useless.

I could keep going but you get the idea. job specific merits need to be reworked to fit the current game.

Also make a category that includes; regen, refresh and movement speed.

"[dev1006] Merit Point Adjustments
The upcoming version update will see an increase to maximum limit for point allocation in certain merit point categories.

Maximum Total Ability Increase by Category:

HP/MP: Increased from 8 to 12
Attributes: Increased from 5 to 8
Combat Skills: Increased from 20 to 32
Magic Skills: Increased from 16 to 24
Others: Increased from 8 to 10"

Considering the incredible amount of merits we are now accumulating, it would have been even more helpful to remove the category limits altogether. Having multiple jobs than require opposite skills, being able to upgrade them all one day would be my ultimate goal.
