If they removed the bow on the butt of the SCH/SMN gear that would be enough to at least get me to buy it. Wearing it from there out might be a stretch, though. Haha.

hmmmmm... I noticed the weapons had a glow so I'm guessing it looks like the same steps you did with i100 Weathered gear its able to be upgraded by some type of system...

So take away my ability to do dmg then nerf regen as well...? Am i missing something? Is the cure II nerf coming too? Seriously when was whm so op they needed to gimp it every update. And whats with the swiftcast nerf?

"To better improve PvP balance the ability Divine Seal and spell Cure II will no longer be useable. Please look forward to it."

**Titor** · 10-25-2014 02:18 AM

I think you mean "To better improve PvP balance, tanks, healers, and most dps is banned."

next patch:

"PvP is now DRG only"

**Domira** · 10-25-2014 02:33 AM

I don't understand what this means:

In order to better balance PvP, bonuses for damage dealt, decreased physical vulnerability, or decreased magic vulnerability have been added to all jobs and classes.

Can anyone explain it please?

Yeah that really sucks. And the funny thing is, they did give the Whitemage a 10% Damage-Buff now, BECAUSE WHM DEALS NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE. Why not giving us Cleric Stance back. And no stackable Regen/Medica 2 just sucks even more. Healing in PVP is already stressfull enough, i dont know why they have to fuck the healers even more in every patch they bring out. So we can be happy to have one healer in the whole alliance in patch 2.4, because nobody wants to play it anymore. Thanks.

Edit: @ Domira: For example, WHM und SCH will deal 10% more damage and recieved 20% less damage from magical attacks.

lol thanks, I don't see what kind of effect this will have on pvp. So a monk takes 5% more damage than a tank?

**Sanghelios** · 10-25-2014 02:41 AM

Yes, thats correct.

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.

I find the opposite to be true (edit: unfortunately the CS nerf came 1st, I know). The multiple regen and medica stacking nerf is alright. The cleric's stance removal was uncalled for. It's pretty clear that the devs are attempting to dissuade healer (WHM) stacking. You can still do it, it's just that there's no more 3+ medicas and regens to buff eachother with. Basically, I see this as the devs trying to make parties be a little more "honest."

I'm actually pleased about the Drone and Node adjustments though, and wonder how they will play out (I already know how the devs intended the 1-minute 1st wave to play out).

I'm not sure I follow the new PvP swiftcast nerfing BLM's next nuke strength's reasoning though.

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.
