It's a damn good day to be a Dragoon.

Definitely one of the best fixes to DRG I've ever seen. All these Accuracy penalty was killing me. It drove me nuts due to how often I missed Impulse Drive.

Changes to life surge and jumps also pleases me. Power surge is interesting as well, which is basically berserk for dragoons.

They just need to put the enmity down on regular jump instead of elusive, and drg will be perfect. Nothing more annoying than being punted 30 ft away just so you don't pull aggro.

interested to see how jump works for evading attacks now. also strikes me as strange that elusive jump, technically still isn't an evade. you jump out of range, shed enmity but can still get hit :/

Most of this stuff looks ok. I just can't understand why they're boosting monk.

[Estellios]

Hm... Reinheart's translation said that Steel Cyclone's range was being reduced, whereas Okipuit said its attack power is being reduced. Both would be fair for balancing IMO but er... which is correct?

Same reason they're boosting DRG, plus none of us are playing with the changes now to determine just how potent of a change it is.

I'd go with the one Oki posted, since from what I see, it's basically stating the power will be lower hitting x amount of targets, basically reducing it's overall potency the more targets it hits.

The difference is that DRG is currently really in need of the boost it's the lowest DPS melee jobs there is where as mnk is one of the highest. A skilled player can easily and substantially out parse most other jobs on monk.

Monk is one of the classes I actually considered fairly balanced already.
