level 4 skillchain

We brought your feedback about level 4 skill chains to the development team and they responded that you are all a bunch of Tenzen wannabes. Okay, so maybe they didn’t really say that at all. They did however say that this is an awesome idea and would like to look into this for the future. Currently they are planning adjustments to the current skill chains to go along with the level cap increase to 99. After this takes place they will look in to the possibility, but keep in mind that skill chains are something that is related to every job and careful attention needs to given, even more so than individual job adjustments.

Skill-chains were so cool back in the day when I first started playing FFXI. Everybody would setup SC's in the group, no matter what jobs we had. But thanks for the feedback Mr. Moogle. Lv4 SC's will be awesome!

That is just epic of Moogle proportions.

I am so a Tenzen wannabe. I want his awesome armor that has that Phoenix embroidery, I want his nifty avatar binding great katana, and totally want Phoenix as a summon. Thought I can wait until I am significantly higher level then then the man before I steal his pants and borrow his deity.

Well, I love this idea.

One concern, won't it put Empyreans even FURTHER above everyone else?

above normal weapon not above relic , Relic WS also have lvl3properties

not enough info on how this would be implemented to really venture an opinion. We don't know what WS would be used (and there may be more introduced between 91-99) to make it, what kind of damage it would do, possibilities for self-sc, whether blue magic would be involved, can an automaton/avatar participate, how much damage, can u burst it, ALOT of questions. Still, it would be in keeping with expanding to accomodate they upper levels.

yes they can add new WS that have a special properties and you need that properties to do lvl4, or just lvl3 properties so no relic/empy players can also lvl4

Make it so the Level 4 Skillchain can kill a regular monster outright regardless of how many HP is left (like Zantetsuken).

Make it so the Level 4 Skillchain deals damage equal to what a Level 3 Skillchain could do when used against a Notorious Monster but it suffers a greater elemental resistance penalty to ALL elements.

Make it so you can Magic Burst any element on a Level 4 Skillchain.

If you helped create a Level 4 Skillchain, you cannot help create it again for the next 3 minutes (you can still create Level 1 to 3 though).


And also a general suggestion not really pertaining to Level 4 Skillchain:

Extend the time allowed to create a Skillchain.

So I figured I'd bump this thread back to the top just because it was promised to be considered and I think it was just forgotten over time. :X

I'd love if they were achieved by a combination of relics mythics and empyrean WSs (or maybe add this as an even higher secret level of SCs so that all players have something new at least at 99). Also, while I managed to get a post close to your attention I know you're looking into tweaking relic WSs, can you please look into Camlann's Torment? I don't think it's right that drakesbane should be better than the empyrean WS, I think mythic and even some empyrean WSs should also be reviewed for buffs.

I had the idea of Camlann's ignoring 50 at 100, 75 at 200, and 100% defense at 300 TP. Keep in mind, Wheeling Thrust already does what I said by ignoring half defense, so I really think it's absurd a weapon as big of a pain to obtain as this thing is (CHLORIS) is getting beat by a normal WS with the same description (in the sense that Camlann's only ingores 10%), and is crushed in damage by the WS we'd already been using forever (Drakesbane).

Really, WSs that stay the same across all levels should go away and offer some kind of rewards for stepping it up. Especially mythic/empyrean ones that you have to build up to 300% for aftermaths.

I really hope I can get a response on this. I don't see why only relic owners should be on the receiving end of buffs, not every empyrean is almace or ukonvasara. And I KNOW many mythics need serious tweaking. An extremely easy starting point for fixing these WSs is just look at which crit and which don't, most that don't probably might need some love, and most that do are the standard for the current metagame.

One last note, we all love Razed Ruins and this isn't an issue related to that nor am I looking for anything to be done to the Atma. Camlann's gets beat by Drakes outside Abyssea too.

Level 4 Skillchains should instantly warp the person who closed the chain to any random area in the game. Like. on the boat to Nashmau or some dangerous dungeon somewhere far away.
