Fuck, that is never good.

Job Adjustments are never good? Have people still not gotten over the RNG nerf? Every other adjustment has either been good (category 2 merits) or useless (BLM and NIN "nerfs"). This update is probably just going to expand category 2 to 10 merits total.

And Salvage has my hopes up... If it's similar to Dynamis/Limbus (on it's own timer, please...) then it will be.
 
Maybe SE is done laughing at Bst, and is going to give them a boost. It's been just about long enough since the nerf to give them a decent boost (based on drg and rng nerf > boost durations)

Agreed (with a natural bias of course :p). If they are going to be the party job SE wants, they need to give them some kind of abilities to actually be useful in a party. Outside of "Call Beast" they have nothing. Hell, I'd even be happy if they just made some of the higher level jugs be bought from a vendor or the requirements/mats were more realistic.

God no, I hope it won't be like Dynamis or Limbus >.< I'm not sure I could keep up with 6 dynamis/limbus/salvage runs per week... and stacking Assault on top of that... let's just say I won't have any time to do anything anymore ; ;
 
Oh, I bet there's a Bst adjustment all right . . .

We will gain the ability once our hp falls below 50% to summon a high level Beastman as a pet. This "pet," however, won't attack our target; it will instead begin attacking its master.

This will be used by Bsts in those situations where we simply don't find ourselves dying fast enough for our liking :P

The DRGs may disagree...
 
You guys forget it was Flamey that said job adjustments aren't good. Thieves have been cut down repeatedly.

But I think he forgot the MASSIVE dagger update. =)
 
Nah, BST already got their huge melee boost, it's called Beast Affinity and Feral Howl.
What do you mean BST melee pre-75? SINCE WHEN?! :roll:
 
Feral Howl is a melee boost? And here I thought it was just a glorified stun you don't need TP for to perform.

Roc Pets for the bird jug prz. Also: HQ Funguar. Even if store bought NQ 710 gil/pop Funguar can get pretty damn close to 75 with Affinity, HQ would still punch a hole in things better.

Those are both 75 only abilities, Bst got crushed in the middle range levels by the nerf.

Anyone remember that plan to make Abjurations acessible in other ways? think salvage or the colluseum(HNM vs players?) would have any of those by some far off chance?(It's SE . I wont get my hopes up although the stuff theyve been doing for thf has been sweet so far lately)
The thf 2 hour was turned into lolambush which would have actually been decent as a 2 hour before 75 ect since it would have been quite a nice accuracy boost at low to mid levels.
highly doubt it that make abjuration very common unless they had like week cooldown or something.

well you forgot about the drg and bst nerfs. I dont't think it will be bad though unless they trying hurt ninjas. Think one be the scythe upgrade, other be new job cat 2 merits,

As for salvage ugh plz not anouther dynamis or limbus.

I have no problem with them giving a shitty drop rate on abj and/or a week cooldown in the event they ad such a feature.

Seriously. No one wants them to become as available as Earth Crystals. They just want another method to obtain them that doesn't involve camping botted HNMs.

I didnt say I wanted them to be as common as earth crystals. I said i wanted them availiable. On other servers ajb from kings and sky are only obtainable via paying gilsellers. SE could give it the same drop rate as thf knife and I'd still be happy for those other servers although mildly annoyed when it takes forever to get.
 
i hope its not another gil eatinig event .. dam limbus and dynamis -.-
 
I'm guessing there will be 2 things later on.

First one being Colosseum, which I'm guessing is the third form of PvP. The second one The Pit, which I hope will be like a Monster Arena.

I'd really enjoy if it was like an advanced BCNM-style battle, where you get some items or w/e, and you can fight a harder version of the HNM of your choice, which have a low chance of dropping abjurations of the corresponding HNM. Could also be some new ones which drops new abjurations. SE *DID say they'd add new abjurations, so hopefully BLU, COR and PUP might get one other then lolCrimson.
 
salvage sounds like a limbus type of thing ....
 
I'd assume it's just more of the job adjustments they talked about months ago at that game show or w/e. Like someone mentioned, one of them was to make Scythes appeal more to DRKs. Another was making WHMs more appealing than other jobs as main healer, though I hafta wonder how they'll do that... cure potentcy job traits maybe? XD I think they've done pretty much all the other ones they mentioned... though I could be forgetting something.

What I can't wait for is the missions. I'm done with every mission in the game; I need more! I'm also hoping they finally get around to letting us summon our NPCs in ToAU areas like the fellowship quests' storyline would lead one to believe they would. I'm not holding my breath, though. -_-;
