[dev1206] Class Reforms & Action Lists

[Kiote]

I see, so that's your playstyle. Unfortunately for me mine seems to differ from the style majority has used. I guess that's understandable considering I don't really do endgame, so my priorities and needs tend to differ from those who only consider specific endgame fights.

The reason your play style differs from what they keep talking about is they are talking about party roles. These people who blindly accept Yoshida ideas as perfect do not seem to understand Class = Solo , Job = Party.

These classes the way they are set to be implement are Heavily leaned toward party play which is the exact opposite of what we were told would be done.

MRD Abl. 3 - Grants Absorb HP effect to next attack.

PUG Abl. 1 - Restores HP.

PUG Abl. 2 - Makes your next attack a crit when executed from behind the target. Traits may trigger INT bonus.

ARC Abl. 2 - Reduces enmity and increases TP generated by next action.

CON Mag. 1 - Restores a portion of the target's HP.

CON Mag. 5 - Creates a barrier around the target that prevents a fixed amount of damage.

THM Abl. 5 - Reduces MP cost of next attack magic spell by half, and restores MP when cast is complete.

are some of the cross class abilities I will be using for party AND Solo play

fundamental play styles are not changing at all, you are just looking for something to bitch about.

also if you where playing lancer as anything other then DD then you where doing it wrong, which would explain why you hate parties so much.

Umm. If this was directed at me, I feel obliged to mention that I don't hate party play. I simply prefer solo and duo. It's very easy to play almost exclusively solo or duo in this game currently, if party searching has been fixed I don't know about it, so nobody finds me for their parties. I don't go actively looking for a party with shouts or such, like I said I prefer solo and duo.

Naturally, the needs of a class are different in party play and I wouldn't imagine using the same abilities for solo and party. I guess that's where the problem is. LNC class identity might be intact for party play after these changes (I wouldn't know, I don't have enough experience of it), but for efficient solo it doesn't appear to be for the moment.
