Um i did not say anything about a cap in how many merits you could put into one category. And meriting hp + mp I am not too sure if that would be overpowered or just unneeded Resources at hand, hp wise except for tanks then again regarding tanks your hp matters depending on how your support is i would assume, +mp on the other hand i would assume depends on what u do mostly in your ls group>solo time>help people time, all that stuff.

then what did you mean?

I can only assume by limit you mean not have a limit to how much you can merit.
 
I'm happy about the merit point thing. One of these days I'll fully cap my exp and not have to worry about switching. But right now I'm on the verge of de-leveling, and I kept forgetting to switch back to EXP. And the animation when you get a new merit is nice, since they usually just happen, and if you're in fast parties for meriting, you rarely notice.

Also, more ToAU WOOOOOO!
 
Meriting to me seems to be more of 'customizing' your character. They capped how many merits you can have in a certain area to make you, the player, think about what you should do (imo). Before merits.. everyone was just a clone of one another basically. Consider this 'tweaking' your character to the way you see fit using limited resources. If you were able to cap all the merit categories then what would be the point of merits in the first place?
 
while I do agree that meriting is a way to customise your character, I think that the majority of people would have similar merits cos everyone wants to be the one with good merits.

At the end of the day, I wonder how many 'different' chars of a job there are
 
that depends on how many lvl 75 jobs you have.. the more you have.. the tougher decisions you have to make in your non-job specific merits. And for jobs like blm.. do you want all the AM II spells or just make 2 of them more powerful?

Probably also the reason why one can always hold onto 9(?) merits. So if you wanna do a 'quick change' you can. If you're a melee artist... which weapon do you merit if you have 75 war, sam, and drk? And maybe you're a tanking job nin/pld... Do you cap evasion all the way and leave 4 merits for weapons... It's almost like when you do ZM or finish CoP and get your earring/ring reward... but you can 'change' your decision with merits. Once you pick a ZM earring or CoP ring, you're stuck with it for life, knowing that you're seconday job will not be as good w/o said ring/earring. For example.. you were a samurai, beat DM and got a Bushio... but you like nin and /nin jobs a lot. You miss out on the Suppanomimi. You're a mage that finished CoP and you got Tamas ring... then you start loving melee jobs. Well you missed out on Rajas ring which is like.. 'the' melee ring accessory.

But like i said.. with merits.. you can 'erase' past 'mistakes' and 'rewrite' what you wanted to do.

Geez Summoners sure are greedy. Every expansion you've been given expanded abilities and equipment.

I think it's your time to sit back and watch other jobs who havent gotten half the increase you've guys have gained get theirs.

Well, 200% of suck is still suck. Summoner is just more broken than other jobs (except BST and PUP)

Because Summoner sure is ailing to get in to huge battles like BST and PUP, right?
 
If there is a job that describes power in the Final Fantasy series, SMN is it (SE made a mistake when they nerfed SMN and made avatars cost MP, but thats another story).

I know when I said that all those SMN Topics came to mind. But there is nothing better than getting a new avatar. When you lvl SMN a "gotta catch'em all" feeling gets a hold of you.

Really!

Typically, a fully meritted BST's Funguar or Carrie will out-damage a SMN's Nether Blasts or other elemental RAs (especially on kited mobs). Even moreso when you consider the downtime SMN winds up getting after so many times using it. Can't say so much for PUP, though.
