+ 1 for ARC AA btw. If the best arguments against it are "unwanted attacks" (the same issue every other class/role would have in every other MMO/RPG -- just press ESC, turn around/face away from target, disengage, drop target, etc) and the "LOLrealism an ARC must come to a complete stop and pause every time in order to fire an arrow"... then I wouldn't worry about it. ARC AA is otw.

personally i dont really understand the sense of that "list". they couldnt even write down the names of each skill. the list does NOT show ALL skills.. it just shows the skills which have ben CHANGED...
so it doesnt mean that there will be no enfeebling skills in 1.20 ;D

11-21-2011, 01:26 AMGriss15 actions per class, Go count the listings. That's what were getting in .20 this is the new class structure 15 native actions with the ability to cross class in 10.Quote:

It is not a large leap to say that what is being removed will be put back in our hands eventually in the form of "New" casting classes.Quote:

Once again go count out the actions. each one lists 20 skills, 15 class 5 job. Archer being the anomaly having 21 listed, that extra being the entry for auto attack.Quote:

The things missing from the listing is the action names, what level they are obtained, and any mp/tp costs. -

As for enfeebles, as the above person said, check the combos, a lot of them have enfeebles as a proc for executing them properly. THAT will be how we enfeeble the mob, at least until we get red/green mage. -

Poor OP has to be berated by a bunch of easy to please people. The same people who stuck with the garbage that is FFXIV.
SE can toss anything at them and they will wag their tail in delight.
These people have absolutely no idea what these changes mean. -
11-21-2011, 01:46 AMgrandmdo you or OP have a better idea then?Quote:

They don't.
Lucifer here seems to be missing out as to why Kiote is being called out. It's because he's acting like he's tried these changes and knows exactly how they're going to effect everyone. -

I agree except when it comes to Conj. That clas SHOULD be harder to solo and the elemental spells should be cut from the job to make way for more healing and buffs. The number of buffs in this game is way too small and they're all too abstract compared to X and XI buffs. With more buffs and healing abilities the elemental attributes of the enemies could be highlighted more.
Now the elemental attributes are way too under-utilized and that's why fighting 70% of all the mobs feels exactly the same. The depth is there it's just not put to good gameplay use. -
11-21-2011, 04:07 AMKioteRanged Auto Attack mean that Archer's will have to do either a: Significantly less damage or b: significantly slower damage. Both are not worth while in exchange for no longer having the ability to shoot strategically. If they leave Archer Attacks at their current power they will be pulling hate constantly and dropping out of combat isn't really a reasonable solution for that.Quote:

Yes, the new Classes maybe be effective in a different way, but that is not what Yoshida told us he was going to do. It is easy to see how these changes will effect the overall performance of any given class and their balance in combat.Quote:
