AST and Party Bonus Live Letter feedback.

[Ghishlain]

It's not. It's scaled off attack power, I think. As this value remains unchanged regardless of oath and fight or flight and your clemency values do not change either regardless of fight or flight or oaths

Clemency does indeed scale off Attack Power.

That being said, Nekotee does have the right idea too.

Off the top of the head, these are party bonus that one job provides that other jobs benefit from:

• STR bonus from MNK/DRG helping Tank jobs with their enmity generation (+damage) and their heals / self-heals
• PIE bonus from AST/SCH helping BLMs with their rotation (slight bonus to BRD / MCH / SMN and their MP consumption)
• MND bonus from WHM helping AST/SCH with their healing and DPS
• (Minor) I believe one of the stats increases block / parry rate. Yes, yes, block / parry, but still a very minor consideration to have.

Currently, it's a small list, but given the amount of BLMs that have provided input into this MND/PIE discussion, I can see the list getting bigger and player's getting louder pending what new jobs are released and how their kits interface with the meta (IE, if DEX DPS becomes the meta next expansion, Tanks will speak out about wanting STR party bonus).

They changed this with the 3.0 patch. Prior to the expansion, str increased block/parry strength and dex increased block/parry rate - With extremely minor gains as well. Now neither do anything in regards of blocking or parrying
