Patch 1.18a Notes

[quantumsaint]

What about gladiator? Still feeling pidgeonholed as a tank/paladin. I remember reading this:

"Gladiators specialize in the handling of all manner of one–handed blades, from daggers to longswords, be they single– or double–edged, straight or curved. A defining characteristic of the guild is its emphasis on diverse combat tactics, training its members to bring their martial skills to bear in any situation.
As such, there are practitioners who marry sword with shield, seeking to defend their fellow companions. Others opt for an empty off hand, choosing instead to focus entirely on their sword arm. The gladiator’s proficiency with blades also extends to those hurled at range, such as throwing knives."

What ever happened to the bold part ey? I think gladiator attack potencies should be increased when there is no shield equipped.

That's not a bad idea, but would likely lead to even more pigeonholing, "looking for GLA, shieldless GLA need not apply."

Also, S-E's lore is sometimes at odds with how players end up using jobs/classes, the most famous example being Ninja in FFXI, who was billed as a DD/debuffer, and ended up being the go-to tank.

Glad's are only used as tanks right now because SE failed to follow the lore they created. Same with Nin. If i got extra damage by not equipping a shield everything would be hunky dory. I think its time they take another look at what they wrote.

I hate to keep saying this but.....

11. Would you welcome changes to FINAL FANTASY XIV that would drastically alter the rules already set in Eorzea?

[dev1102] Players can now designate any aetheryte or aetherial gate as their Return destination by selecting “Set home point” from the aetheryte menu.

Hmm, interesting. But what happens if I somehow die on a levequest I put a little too much strength into buffing?

* While undertaking regional levequests and behests, the aetheryte where the quest was initiated will be temporarily set as a player’s home point. During instanced raids, players who use Return will be teleported to the raid area’s enterance.

WIN!

I'm a mage and i feel mp cost quite appropriate, maybe a little less cost on tiers 3. some rest here and there, and i'm completely cool. Learn to manage complainers
(mp cost on melee classes is another thing)

How the hell did a discussion on patch 1.18a turn into a brutal Ether rape and murder scene?

I'm sure one day we'll get Hi-Ethers or even Mega-Ethers or maybe Elixirs, but until then... the best we have is Ether +3 for 80MP, deal with it.
