[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[bazookatooth]

(Btw, there's actually copies of enemies, but some of them are higher level, which the BST coulda went after (you know being a technical duo compared to soloers.)) The problem is, people largely ignored the higher level versions because it was less efficient, so even if SE added more enemies, people would still ignore them unless they were lower level. At this point in XI's progression, it would be "Apex" style enemies additions due to the fact the zones memory is already allocated to what exists, so they'd have to add "new" ones.

I never farmed dynamis on BST (it was never the best way imo) and I never farmed the lower level mobs (the mob levels / placement have been on the wikis since day 1 btw). I'm still failing to see any reason why they couldn't just add more mobs. It's not like they haven't added hundreds of new mobs to all sorts of old areas for no apparent reason over the last couple of years.

"BST PARTY ONLY PLEASE" < Once again this is what brought the attention. Less salt more realization. Look at SE's answer to Manaburns (Post 2005 updates and ToAU content.) So it has nothing to do with people losing their minds that a job "got useful" because people loved taking BLUs when they finally go adjustments to not be useless - but you don't see/didn't see BLU party only! for relevant content at the time.

A couple points. Manaburns were still alive and kicking as far as exp parties go all through ToAU. They just weren't at colibri camps. Sorry you missed them. Endgame content still used nuking just as much as far as I know.

And BST shouts... they weren't as popular as you make it seem. Most shouts are for PLD, GEO and WHM. Also, as was already explained, SE could have fixed the "BST only" thing by fixing the buff system. SE made this happen. Not the players and not BST. It's true of most pet set ups. "BST only" is a necessity* due to the nature of party buffs..... well, that and stupidity. We always bring other jobs and just have the cor do separate rolls for them (They last 7 minutes after all) but a lot of people still don't seem to understand that and would rather bring a lazy cor who rolls once every 7 minutes and takes a nap than bring a bst and a blu to the same event.
