Easy Mode MP: No Thanks!

[Hyrist]

As far as a nerf in optimal performance for a BLM... I'd disagree.

If there's a weak monster and BLM can go to town on it and blast it away into nothing, that's fine.

But resistance is a problem. BLM's MP limitations and low life/defense is not sufficiently balancing the potential damage output, because quite simply their MP regeneration is high enough to keep their damage consistent with a Bard (who will be there anyways given their universal support) and the fact that most enemy attacks are better maneuvered around by ranged classes.

So basically they are getting all of the damage, for little of the dangers to keen Black Mages scream about as their primary balancer.

My proposal on this is pretty simple: Make things dangerous for the Mages again.

I liked the concept introduced by Garuda's Plumes - Low HP, highly magical defensive minions dispatched by boss monsters. If there were more fights that introduced monsters like these that targeted ranged classes, but were suitable to a quick death from the Melee Classes, this could balance out importance or roles.

I also mentioned before more things that would attack the typical staple of attacking at range, like AoE's that are safer when you are close to the monster - or scripted switches in boss battles that ranged claseses would need to stop DPSing to use., damage to MP, etc.

There are more ways to balance the game than simply nerf the optimum performance of a class, though I do believe the current game now lends itself to ranged classes a bit too much. But I also firmly believe that empasising the importance of a varied party though fight mechanics is and class buffs is a better overall solution.

For the current fights, however? Perhaps some spiked Magic resistance when magic is overstocked against high difficult targets. That would help reduce some of the Black Mage stacking, at least.

Lol this thread is too funny to actually be serious!

[Raubahn]

it doesnt its fairly balanced now the problem is with the players

[Baxta]

Oh cool, so the devs are appeasing tera fanboys in their choices for FFXIV too now? Do we update this list of people to blame every time a new mmo comes out? Is the list stored somewhere for reference or are we just pulling it out of our arses? Thanks in advance.

The MP and mage-stacking is killing this game! I can't believe SE would ever make this kind of oversight and IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.

They need to at least double the cost of every spell and probably reduce MP of each class by about 30%. WHM and BLM are OP beyond belief. It is absolutely ridiculous that people stack BLM for primals and content. What is this - Korokola Tunnel?

People should have to nuke way slower and primals/dungeons should take more than 10-25 minutes. This is just more easy mode meant to appease all the WoW/Tera/Rift fanboys.

SE should also add an MP cost to every weaponskill so people can't spam them nonstop. It ruins the immersion and nerfs content for n00b players to be able to just stand there and spam Steel Cyclone and Ring of Talons.

Fix it!

Silly stuff here, blm and whm overpowered is just ridiculous. Content will always, no matter what, lean towards needing a healer, and I'm confident at some point content will not lean to 100% ranged dps so much.

I can't believe you referenced XI and doing primals in 10 minutes, hell primals for the most part in XI could be solo'd in less than 10 minutes.

dookie pls go

If a joke - lol.

If not a joke...

Must be related to NotApplicable.

Leave it to someone named "Dookie Poo" to come up with a crappy idea.

Bravo.

Hmm blm and whm dont need to be fixed, reason why is if a blm nukes and takes hate he or she is dead with in 3 hits and if a whm takes hate the same happens. Now ur noob comment um lmao sorry but what are you doing playing w the big boys if you cant play ur job or class? On a side note I hate WoW and a bunch of other MMO's so ur easy mode comment needs not apply except maybe to you.
