Request for Protect Scrolls. Sold at Grand Company Vendors.

[kidvideo]

I prefer being able to use the Protect ability on any class/job, since I have leveled a conjurer.

I never said it was an issue. I can manage just fine I just don't like having to bother other players to invite me for a protect. I don't think it is a big request to have Protect Scrolls sold at the GC vendor, FFXI have protect/shell/reraise scrolls.

That's not the point we're making. The point is; why are you, with all classes and jobs unlocked, unable to cast protect on yourself?

Why? Because the Job I use cannot use Protect. Is that a Design flaw? No, It's because MNK cannot use CNJ abilities, Which is perfectly fine. I already posted in the OP

Either that or let us keep buff when we change Jobs?

Will SE let us keep buff when we change jobs? Probably not, But I assume it would be far easier to add a Protect Scroll than to keep buff when changing.

Protect isn't so useful that this needs to be a thing.

If you switch to Conjurer, cast Protect, and then switch to another class, THE PROTECT BUFF WEARS OFF.

You can't use it as a cross class skill BECAUSE NOT ALL CLASSES CAN USE PROTECT.

Ok.... From what I've been told Protect is around 15% which is a pretty decent amount. I mean its not a big deal, I guess it's more of a QoL thing than anything.

Protect is a 15% increase to defense (+mdef with trait), which translates to about 4-5% mitigation at best, and that's for a tank, it's even less for other jobs. It's less powerful than Foresight is for a Warrior.

Overlooked that sorry.

But since we're talking about damage mitigation, Monks have a stance for that don't they?

I don't see anything wrong with this.

just a convenience thing right? i wouldn't mind this for when i'm running around on dragoon or bard.

The question is. Is it worth to use GC seals to shave off ~5% damage from the already miniscule damage overworld mobs do to you?
