One other thing i dont understand. If you look on this:


Isnt it...kind of pointless to let all classes deal 10% more damage while almost every class will get 10% less damage?

Edit: But at least frontline groups will now fill up missing player slots while waiting for the gate to open. Thats nice.

Jobs are getting damage boosts and increased resistance to make going jobless in PvP less viable. A Warrior now deals 10% more damage and takes 12.5%/10% less physical/magical damage when compared to the Marauder.

Yeah, sure. Of course that makes sense. But its still pointless because there are no jobless guys in frontlines. Maybe one poor guy here and there, but actually 99,9% of the players have jobs.^^

There has been some discussion previously about whether or not the Maurader was more effective than the Warrior in PvP due to all the crossclass skills the Maurader had compared to the non-viability of the Warrior's Defiance reliant abilities.

next patch:

"PvP is now DRG only"

Made me lol

Nice to see DRG getting a buff to our Dives, if only they'd shortened the animation lock ages ago.

I really don't like the change to testudo. It worked nicely and had a very strategic usage (just like cover, but worked in a different way). Now it's just something you'll activate "randomly" during a fight. Protecting healers and other low HP party members was one of the main things that made me switch to paladin. I wonder if the dumbing down of skills and strategy is going further in the future...

So much this >_> the update looks good on paper but Testudo had so much tactical value versus good teams bursting down your healers. At least it's... easier to use now? Yay.

That Swiftcast change is harsh ; ; can't even defend that one.

I feel the same way, I wonder if it works on the caster now?
