    Protect and Shell merit changes

    Can some changes be made to Protectra V and Shellra V merits?
    • Turn these merits to Protect effect and Shell effect merits. I feel if they are changed to affect the entire protect and shell line the end result will feel acceptable when Protectra 6 and Shellra 6 get added.
    • Make the -ra spells taught by scrolls.
    • Buff protect effect merits. This could be straight mitigation or even a chance to nullify physical damage. Protect needs something added to make them worth the cost past the initial buy in.

    Always thought Protect should have been a PDT in line with Shell's "MDT"...

    Good ideas.

    I have to concur. Protectra 5 got boned and could really use some sort of boost compared to the way merits upgrade it.

    A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts. Here is a game most of you can handle.

    I hope they leave it as is just so I can leave my merits alone, lol.
    I feel pretty good at the moment about not having any merits in the, oh-so-worthless Protectra V.

    I agree. Protectra 5 is just a laughable 5 def more than Protectra 4, and even with full Protectra 5 merits, the increase in defence from 4 to 5 is smaller than from 3 to 4. In a game where defence already makes a very little impact at large values, this spell isn't really worth the single merit point you need to unlock it.

    For Protectra 5 to be anything close to worth spending a merit on, the def bonus should probably start at 20 point more than protectra 4, and each merit probably add 3 def to that.

    I do however also think that changing the protectra and shellra 5 merits into protect/shell potency merits, so that they will affect all protshell versions, including single target versions.

    Just a bump so it gets looked at hopefully when your looking for changes for:

    Revisions to job-specific merit point enhancement attributes.
