Job Adjustments and Additions Part II (07/09/2009)

As a follow up to last week's article on new ninja job abilities, it is with pleasure that we introduce other job-related additions and adjustments scheduled for the fast-approaching July version update.

Peruse the details here.
And the indepth details.... (I like the pics by the way)

As a follow up to last week's article on new ninja job abilities, it is with pleasure that we introduce other job-related additions and adjustments scheduled for the fast-approaching July version update.

- Rate of Gain for Combat and Magic Skills

The introduction of in-game systems such as Level Sync and Fields of Valor, while expediting job level increases in the low and middle level ranges, has caused gains made in combat and magic skills to lag behind.

To address this issue, the rate at which combat and magic skills increase during low and middle job levels is set to be given a boost.

- Circle-type Abilities

Up until now, the benefits granted by Circle-type abilities have been lackluster relative to their ability delay. The July version update will see these abilities imbued with additional effects for greatly enhanced usability.

The following abilities will benefit from the above adjustment:
Holy Circle / Arcane Circle / Warding Circle / Ancient Circle / Killer Instinct

- Blue Magic

Two new blue magic spells are scheduled to be added in the coming version update.

Excited? EXCITED? NO SHIT :biggrin:
 
its funny, i was just discussing how the AoE abilites could use a boost. something like a en-demonkiller (added dmg to demons while warding circle was active). would be funny if that what it turns out to be.
 
They need to give SAM an update. :crazy:
 
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame...
 
While the additional effects for circle abilities might be fun...

Yeah. Not overly impressed with Part II.

As far as the increase rate of gain for skills... Why not just extend it all the way up? I mean really? It's not like the levels past "mid" get easier to keep your skills current or anything. It just gets harder, especially if you're doing level sync parties.
 
They need to give SAM an update. :crazy:

Samurai more or less needs to be changed twards better uses for tp like draw out
 
Hmm yeah I was thinking the same here. Added effects to the circle abilities would be nice, but it depends what that bonus effect actually does. As for increased skill ups, im so-so on the idea, i mean hell, all week we've had the "Martial Master" kupower yet skill ups are as slow as ever >_<

As for the new BLU spells, figures some new spells would become available since they are opening up some new areas and possibly new mobs up in the Northlands of the past.
 
Why not just let skills go up past the "cap" while under level sync? My bard is getting annoyed because I'm constantly doing lvl 40/55 PT's, and my singing/wind skill gets further and further from cap.
 
Group A: "My job of choice is affected by these changes: Woo!"

Group B: "My job of choice is not affected by these changes: -Snore-, Job X needs and update, and this update is lame"

These threads in a nutshell.

affects me and my jobs and I still think its crap.
 
hey my job was in there!

there's still hope, although I'm expecting some kind of flimsy magical spell or buff

hope there's more spells to come, be nice if we had more jas than just CA that we constantly use though
 
inb4 ancient circle intimidates every attack from fafhogg for 1 minute.
 
Id like to see BLM or even monk get some new things, outside of teir 2 merits as far as i know these two jobs haven't been updated AT ALL. oh wait Monks got footwork...... lol


imo, SAM and PLD have been augmented the most and really dont need the championing for new stuff.

Bard hasn't gotten anything other than pianissimo, RNG only got that velocity shot thing, + a few dmg calc mods.

So blm got nothing in 7 years.... mnk, brd, rng, smn, and now ninja will be getting something.

Yeah, time for some blm love....
