Leech

I dunno if there was a post about this yet but since sch loses leech at level 40 are they planning to compensate this with a new skill or something?

Based on media tour, doesn't seem like it. But it's not like only Scholars lost -something- (which they didn't, by the way). It simply got shifted elsewhere

Leech is now cross class and its name is Esuna.

What happens to class quest unlocked abilities then?

Like say I do my class quest for 40 and unlock the ability... is it Esuna now instead of leech?

i know it's going to be esuna, but what im confused of is since it was a level 40 job quest will they make the level 40 job quest void, since you don't get anything at that level anymore?

As with white mage, you'll simply receive nothing.

I assume job quests will no longer provide a skill relevant to the context of quest any longer. Keeping this as a constraint would hinder future development and changes for jobs. Its was nice but I don't think the trade off will be worth it long term.

I don't mind the abilities matching the content of the quest so much... as the idea of not getting an ability at all or it being the exact same as another quest.

Kind of ruins the point. Hopefully they put the few job unique skills in the quests

Class quests typically don't recieve much attention as the game goes on. For instance if you miss talking about Dragon Eyes and feel like chatting with Estinien again and you've yet to start leveling a DRG, then there's your chance.

Actually, come to think of it for this...One of the quest wants you to use Leeches. I hope SE remembers and catches that.

I was just thinking that I better finish that quest before changes happen.

I believe the role abilities are unlocked once you reach the appropriate level. As for Leeches, I believe it simply won't be a quest reward anymore. Whether they replace it with another reward like food, gil, rare item etc. is yet to be seen.

Probably nothing, the same as whm with Divine Seal. We haven't found any indication that we're getting replacements for any of the things we've donated to cross-role.

Esuna is unlocked before level 40, so you'll be okay.

My worry is that the quest will require leeches itself, is all. Minor thing, I imagine easy to fix...

Also, losing stoneskin makes the level 50 WHM quest harder, but that's another story.

I was thinking they might consolidate the "esuna" skills, but wasn't too sure, since Leeches is listed as a SCH skill in the lore book, why put it in there if they no longer have it.... Maybe we'll get it back in some way shape or form?

My hope is they change the reward to a Trait that modifies the skill we would have gotten. Make Esuna remove two debuffs or apply a hot or shield or something like that. I want fewer buttons in SB, not more.

It's unlikely we'll get anything else at level 40 because that's already a bloated ability level given the fairies learn their final abilities (fey illumination and fey wind) at that time. Thus previously SCH actually sort of learned three things at 40, which was almost nifty enough for not being able to remove poison in Brayflox.

anyone else think that having to pick up esuna as a crossrole is kind of dumb? they should have just naturally given it to all three classes instead of forcing the healers to chose this as a skill.

Thats how it was before. Esuna, Leeches, Exalted Detriment. All gone in place of XRS Esuna.
