New job adjustments and crit hit WS

[Runespider]

So reading the new job adjustments is this going to be a nerf to all crit hit ws now? These kinds of updates always work across the board, mobs and players.

Indirect nerf to smn burns too, not that anyone did them anymore but being unable to delevel a sync mule.

MNKs have a good VIT. we don't complain. have fun other jobs.

err no, it means it will take the monsters vit into account when calculating how much your WS does.
So it possibly won't do nearly as much as it does now if its a crit ws. Mnk emp WS could of gotten a big nerf.

the word monster wasnt included in the statement, it may mean something along the lines of how AGI affected subtle blow in the last update. maybe jobs that have decent vit will get better critical hit damage? i would wait and see what a community rep does to clarify, as it is a kind of vague statement.

Sounds like a pld buff to make them better tanks, and most likely if its applied to mobs it wont matter because it will be player dex vs mob vit to determine the dmg.

Other news - I didn't know I was a DKN..my life is forever changed.

The word player wasn't included, either. The majority of the game mechanics go across the board anyways, so there's no reasonable expectation of getting something as players and monsters not getting it as well.

I agree - this is a minor PLD buff. Hopefully this means they are paying some attention to the reduced importance of tanks (PLD in particular) and are looking for creative ways to bring them back into relevance without having to completely rewrite emnity.

I really hope they continue this trend. I have PLD sitting at 90 and can't be bothered to pursue Emp upgrades - mostly because of all the chatter on this board about PLD being lolPLD.

But again, it's not lack of defense that is keeping you down, so that won't really do anything.

If this is what it appears to be and it does nerf crits and crit WS it was done to nerf how broken razed ruins is and for no other reason.
