Preliminary Update Model ResultsFollow

Also, it has the major bonus of nobody ever complaining that you want to come /SCH, since you can just tell them they're a n00b and /SCH is the best sub for RDM in 99% of group situations (which will be true at 80+).

I am not 100% sure but if your saying that a blue could sub sch and give aoe stoneskin and enspells they can't. Neither spell is native to sch.


If not ignore this post.

Talking about rdm/sch.

First of all (and I wasn't going to say anything because I thought it was a typo, but you keep spelling it this way), the Stratagem is called "Accession". "Ascension" would be something like the RDM gains a JA that lets them ascend into the heavens, taking their rightful place among the gods (which... ...I can't honestly say I'd oppose). Just don't want to you to go around with broken macros because you're trying to /ja "Ascension" <me>.

Anyway, that aside...



The promise of no more cycles is the only thing enticing me to take RDM past 75 at the moment. We've been casting cycles for years, and I'm sick of it. It's really not that game-breaking; it just compresses our cycle from 30~45 sec long into a single spell cast, and saves us 40-160 MP. Not a huge deal, and Refresh/Haste are the most expensive spells we'd AoE.

Making Accession stack with Composure could be game-breaking, but I don't really think it would be as big a deal as people think it would be (in the power-increase aspect--as far as convenience for RDMs is concerned, it would be HUGE).

SE, if you're reading this: if you don't make Accession subbable, you can go ahead and consider yourselves complete morons in my book.

Yeah, that. Once every 30 minutes.

The files are downloading painfully slow for me....

I guess no FFXI tonight.

My thoughts exactly!

Back from being away from this wonderful machine we all know and love as the PC.



What a academic retort Bob, but I really should never expect much from you.

He as well as myself probably include pet maneuvers as JA in there since thats all they really are. If you happen to type the words "Job Abilities" into wiki this is what it will say about PUP.




Under that notion since a PUP uses them over and over again, yes it be a job heavily under the influence of JA.




If you consider deploy a job ability then maneuvers are a job ability as both macro in as /pet. They really are just a sub sect of JA is why I consider them JA.



They do not sub default you (or me for that matter) because you "proved" anyone right. We all understand what you are saying, but we are using evidence against it.

It does not end in this thread either, most of your posts happen to be like this and you really never said much accurate about PUP besides your feelings, ideas of how it should be, or things we all know. This is why you are generally sub defaulted. This is not saying much a great many of my posts are being an ******* over how stupid I find people to be on topics (mainly PUP) or trolling, but atleast I never get to the level of calling people here pathetic over the idiotic karma system.

On a side not just to be relevant to this, I think the BLU spells are ******* awesome and I can not wait!

BLM getting a JA also boggles my mind as all they have is their two hour and elemental seal.

First Rule of Karma.

People sub-default him because he is who he is. Even if he did say something correct or was helpful at some point, he would still be sub-defaulted. That is how the karma system works. A mob mentality will eventually form and jump on whoever is the current target.

Like the one roleplayer(I've forgotten his name. Owned a Knight's Earring). He was obviously a troll, but usually ignored and pretty harmless for a very long time. Then Vawn suddenly got a hard on for him and everyone else jumped on him, taking him far to seriously.

I doubt it has ever been "Rate up Helpful/Useful posts, rate down Bad posts" despite that being the whole point. Self moderation doesn't work.

Anyways, I don't think he's even counting Deploy as a JA, more just Activate/Repair. In a stupid way, it's correct I guess. They obviously are Job abilities, but not exactly listed as that.
By the same logic Smn isn't a JA intensive job either, with...Elemental Siphon and nothing else under JA category. It's stupid, but it probably could have just been ignored.

I had somewhat forgotten what the actual topic was for awhile after this crap. Most of the Armor is pretty bad looking, especially that furry togi and the Siphai reskin. Kind of like the Leopard pants though.
Not sure why many of them look so low quality, especially the new shield. Doesn't feel like much effort was put in to most of these things.

You know people will complain for the minute downtime on Stoneskin, Rog. And then there's Regen's to consider. Though if I'd the choice I'd single target Regen II's take the minute downtime for Stoneskin and AoE Haste and Enspells. Then put on an EN II of the appropriate element for the EN 1 I AoEd. Which leads me once again to complain that they need to switch the accuracy/power calculation on EN II to at cast rather than at Strike.

Something they could actually fix in this update, though may not due to the fact that AoEing En IIs via Accession will be broken for 2handers. (But makes EN II's rather hopeless otherwise. Damned if you do, damned if you don't SE, go ahead and make EN IIs overpowered. We won't mind.)

While I wouldn't complain about not getting SS, it was always nice to have for Souleater fun. Though, it that case, it wasn't so much about keeping me alive, as letting me do more damage.

People rate up what they want to read more of, and rate down what they want to read less of. It's just that simple.

If a large number of readers consistently rate down one particular poster, there's probably a reason for it.
