To be fair, they did ONE. And it was a special 2hr (1hr now) ability, and it deals a very small percentage in damage. The original Demi always halved your remaining health.

Edited to add that the percentage based attack also fails far too often to make it worth a footnote in most instances.

Wasn't that the 33.3% one? Or am i thinking on something else...

/me goes to check!

Depends on the games. Usually if there's only a demi it does half.
If there's 3 tiers of gravity it goes from 1/4th to 3/4ths.
Then I think one or two games with blue magic had lvl whatever demi that would do either 3/4ths or 7/8ths

Sadly, Gravity is claimed as of last patch by Diabolos. Demi, too, maybe.

So what's with this mentality of, "well if the boss has it, we can't"? Better remove meteor from Behemoth in CT, sense the players have access to it.

To be fair if you want to talk about which job got nerfed the most its the Summoner because they are not even the shell of what they are in single player Final Fantasy titles.

I'd say it's the other way around, "Wow, that level 3 Limit is awesome, lets change it for players to something else and give it to King Behemoth!" That said, though, Meteor is a classic behemoth death throw attack that has ended many a player's game in past titles.

To be fair, if they were they would kind of wreck everything. Basically a class of Limit Breaks :P

"People are apparently too dumb to use more abilities than there are quickbar slots".

Personally I wish Freeze granted Umbral Ice 3 and worked kinda like Flaming Arrow so it can be on par with Flare. I would really like to see Ultima on Black Mages work as a single target spell. Also Burst work as a thundercloud proc that works as a target AoE. Demi and Gravity can work for Black Mages yet they probably shouldn't work as % damage but more of damage with utility.

As for Summoners wish Ruin 2 should be reworked to be more like Lightnings Ruinga. Summoners will really benefit from spells like doom, death, and hell mist since it works with their design that revolves around DoTs.

Yet that's just my opinion on this.
