Could someone please explain these rolls to me? You can get certain effects depending on what jobs are in your party? And how big is this hMP boost?

Rolls are indeed based off members in your party, and the effect will be greater for the job's roll if the job is present in the party (for example: Evoker's roll wold be more powerful if there is a summoner in your party.).

Basically, there is a varying degree of strength of the rolls, depending on what number is rolled and doubled up, for example hitting a lucky number, or XI (the maximum number before you bust - think the card game pontoon, where any combinations of cards up to 21 wins, yet anything over is a bust). A lucky number obviously has a higher strength effect than an unlucky number/norma number/bust. I've heard about evoker's roll giving AoE 5mp/tick refresh when doubled up to XI, but I can't confirm this.

I may be wrong about this post, this is generally what I've gathered from reading posts on forums elsewhere and from talking with friends with the job. I have yet to even start the quests for the new jobs.

LOLz

summoner is no WHM and will never replace whm... why there are still ppl thinking that way?

smns have more mp, smns can act as a whm if the time is needed. other then that they are no whm indeed

Aye but there is a fine line (about a mile wide) between "Summoner can be a good main healer" and "Summoner is replacing WHM"

Main problem with summoner is Lack of prot, regen, haste, a few -na spells, and a big cure should shit hit the fan. But i do agree SMN do go very well with NIN, due to good NIN not needing a whole lot of curing. Hell i'm often bored and feel like a leech when i party with a good NIN, at least SMN so a blood pact between throwing a cure every 5 mins when he gets unlucky.

Its even more redundant if you listen to the rumors about them changing the SMN job so that it provides a different role in the party (support or DD).

I still wonder though what is going to happen should we go back to there only being one healer job. I imagine it just means many more invites for me!
