[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Olor]

BIS = Best in Slot

And just cause you're either satisfied with mediocre augments or got lucky and got the augments you wanted or have cheap augments (most melee stones are WAY cheaper than pet or magic stones) doesn't mean others are in the same situation.

I spent more than 20 million in stones trying to get a TP bonus axe and didn't get a single TP bonus augment. Not one.

Maybe you're Mr. Lucky who gets the augment he wants after 1 stone or w/e but for other people you can't assume from looking at their skirmish gear how much they have spent on it.

Nevermind that not all augments are created equal. It's way easier and cheaper to get player MAB than pet: MAB on Taeon for example. Way easier and cheaper to get player TRIPLE ATTACK than it is to get pet double attack. Way easier and cheaper to get anything other than pet damage taken or haste etc etc.

20 million is still no where near the 100s of millions it would take to buy an upgraded Aegis.

So again: even in your example of bad luck it still doesn't take away from my credibility in in the context I was using.

Can people spend another 20,30 million trying to get 1% more -DT for their pets? Sure. But again: that still doesn't mean it's exceptionally difficult to create a good skirmish set. Because it's not.

This isn't to mention it's not that hard to farm stones either. Skirmish gear is pretty accessible - even to the average player. I stand by that.

No one said it was hard to get skirmish base gear - but yeah it is harder to get good pet augments than melee augments.

At any rate, I've spent waaaaaaaaaaaay less gil on my BLU and it's way better than my BST so... I don't know what your point is? Other than that you don't know what good BST gear looks like or how much it costs?

And I am not alone I know other people who have spent similar amounts to not get ANY TP augment on their axes... Who knows how much it would cost to get one? I don't know because I don't have any more stones to spend.

And being able to farm them is irrelevant - they cost the same amount of gil because you're foregoing the income you could have derived from them. Nevermind that unlike for melees you can't just use one of 3 stones to get the aug you want on a bunch of your gear - it's orb only and I don't see them drop almost ever.

Also soloing skirmish on BST isn't advisable since the mobs will just eat your pet making you an utterly gimp sorta war with no JAs... again destroying your point... if you had one.

Olor currently right now Dusk Orb are cheap and people with account have many mule they can get from Login points.

Dale doesn't know anything when skirmish was new and on the rise. Each Dusk Orb and Duskslit was selling for over 1 million up to 1.5M. When they didn't add +2 item to moogle login points these item are expensive and now it's free if you have many mule.

Many hardcore BST aim for perfection which they focus on Pet Attack +25, Pet Accuracy +25, Pet Haste+5, Pet magic accuracy, Pet Magic Attack and Pet Damage Taken -4 "100+ million worth of gils spent or more.

There is a link of someone who actually play BST to the fullest and have many full set of many augment armors for PET. For most people that hate BST might wanna check that link so you understand other people point of view.

I used my mules' stones on my axe ; ;

Anyway I don't really agree that nearly 3 million for a stack of dusk orbs (on my server) are "cheap"

Cheaper than they were at the beginning? Sure. Cheap Cheap? No. Not cheap.

If I could pay 3 million and get even an augment sort of in the ballpark of what I want that would be cool but... I am not spending any more on BST now that I can't even solo outdated stuff on it as easy as I can do it on BLU
