first update of patch week

[indira]

wonder if the future hold job only content for a challenge for once.

No raising for DD-focused classes either! But it looks like everyone has a means to, at minimum, self-heal.

Edit: Now that we know that the cross-class abilities are limited, it's making sense how classes will be more useful in some situations.

Still no reason to Gladiator EVER

PLD using Curaga ^.^ Yes please.

probably not... due to this

However, I am not sure about all skills of the secondary classes being equippable. On the tooltip, Cura and Curagae require CON. It will be usable by WHM but I am not sure if that limitation means a PLD can't use it.

I agree with Magnesium.... Im guessing they mean cross-classable abilities.... exclusive abilities are still exclusive. Curaga for a PLD... doubt it

You break my heart >.<

My body is ready...



EDIT: This seems pretty interesting...

Changes to base parameters

When the player changes jobs, base parameters change automatically.

Remember we get JSE gear in this patch too, it might warrant using Jobs over Classes just for that gear.

All in all, losing lots of versitility (at the cost of improved dps, healing, tanking... hopefully) will make this game more fun to play because it might actually require people to be more thoughtful now. Frankly its been sorta lame that -everyone- can raise, or spot heal, etc.

Return of skillful play, here's hoping.

Yeah as nice as it was that everyone can heal/raise... it made being a healing class kinda pointless and lackluster almost. I like that the cross class skills will be limited a lot. I almost wish they would just make the jobs the classes in this game and get rid of the smaller ones lol. But that's another topic and a personal opinion!

[Ilethius]

I havent looked at the post waaaaaay back when that listed all the new actions for each job but maybe there is something in there for dmg reduction for the classes that can't use sentinel.

So far I am liking this tho, I hope we get info on the 2 new raids soon and also any new nm's open world or instanced. *crosses fingers*

We have to see how your damage changes on Paladin. If it drops like a stone then solo/small groups you will still want to be Gladiator.

How is a high defense class with relatively infinite MP a bad idea for a tank?

[Munba]

I think this is interesting,

and features a sequence of special quests available at certain levels that unlock systems, abilities, and job-specific equipment. The series of job quests will not involve extremely difficult tasks such as fighting primals. Rather, they will be new game elements intended to boost character growth and motivate players.

New sort of gameplay elements? Can't wait to see what it means.
