As a future direction for skillchains, instead of adjusting them to be a simple source of damage, we’re planning to implement adjustments that will allow for more strategic usage options.

I think it goes without saying that the current battle style has changed drastically since the time when skillchains were first introduced. As a result of this, skillchains have become nigh unsuitable as a means for dealing massive damage and often occur now as an unintended accident. With that in mind we made sure to avoid “upgrading” skillchains so much that they became required to earn exp.

For this reason, we’re looking into reducing an enemy’s elemental resistance corresponding to the element of the skillchain used for the duration of the magic burst window. This change will make skillchains more versatile and usable during battles with notorious monsters.

Below is a basic overview:
Example 1: When executing a transfixion skillchain
Transfixion is a light-elemental based, so the monster’s resistance to spells related to light is lowered.

Example 2: When executing a light skillchain
Light is fire/wind/thunder/light-elemental based, so the monster’s resistance to spells related to fire, wind, thunder, and light are lowered.
uh can you be more clear? in general BLMs accepted that MBs tend to be more " acurate" then non mb. In other words elemental resist is already lowered for mbs correct? are you talking about making the window longer? I am confused.

when we look at pre abyssea blms where not used for damage because mp damage was inefficient, so holding tp for SC made it more inefficient for damage. in abyssea you are ether oneshoting mobs on ws, or making blm only purpose for yellow as you let one dd do damage and tank.

my point is saying this manaic already exists. Also this change does not change the want of MBs or SCs. I SC with other people if the moment permits, but no one really cares. Tell the DEV not to waist their time with this please, other stuff needs more fixing then a maniac that will go unused for the most part.
