Thread: Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

i really hope they do. theres a ton of potential there. Another thing they could do is add traits to grant existing skills more bonuses which would be nice.

Out of all the jobs the bard and mages seem to have gotten the least amount of attention. I don't plan on playing bard as of now but i do think bard should have equaled more then some random party buffs attached to our current archer
class.

The jobs were supposed to be focused on party play but when i read through the skill list there are alot of skills that fit in more with the class design and not so much focused on job skill(party play).

example:blizz3, why is the 3rd tier of a class magic spell a blm spell. to me it seems like cop out way to add skills to jobs.

there are other sills i would list but i dont really care too. also there are some really nice skills that will really benefit party play coming so no need to get raged over my comment. its just an honest opinion of how i feel right now.

Actually BLM gets Freeze, not Blizzaga.

Some new juicy info. I'm sure we'll get an official translation soon enough.

Jobs: just like classes but with four more abilities you'll never use.

Just a heads up that we'll be posting frequent information and topics on Lodestone in the coming weeks leading up to patch 1.21! Once that is all released, we'll see what questions remain and we'll work to get further specific details then. Don't wanna spoil it all just yet!

Rukkirii posted in my thread. I can now die in peace~

Those questions are nice but what I really want to know is if 1.21 is proceeding as scheduled? Not looking forward to another delay

The roadmap says 1.21 is due for release Dec. 2011 - Jan 2012, so I'm wondering if they can make it still within that timeframe or if it's going to be February or later.

you are looking at the wrong roadmap.
