Meh, am I the only one kinda worried about a bunch of physically weak and frail black MAGES trying to dive into the front lines with weak-scythes trying to use them now? :/

Black mages are fearful, and powerful in their own right...but scythe-weilding? Come on now. If you wanted to do that, you shoulda been a Darknight, not a Black MAGE. I have a sneaking feeling these scythes won't have INT or MP bonuses (or only a few do, but even so staffs and such will likely be better), and Black Mages aren't going to ever be able to do any serious damage with these things. If you're just shooting for looks, sure, it'll look awesome...but I'm real concerned this will start a huge wave of fragile mages trying to melee and being worried about TP to do their new weapon skill... :(

In essenence, I believe any Black Mage that uses a scythe and melees with it trying to do weaponskills has effectively nerfed him/herself. ("Can't rest for MP, I'll lose my tp!") I can see it now... /cry

(Maybe I'm just speculating, but I am still worried about it. Lets say White Mages got some neat new weaponskill, and I bet people would be freaking out about meleeing white mages, now wouldn't they?)

BLM with scythe is cool, looks like Ark Angel TT.
SE should make a spell that can make players floating around.

w00t.. not so much of a grind now ^_^



yay!



note what is in Bold.. hopefully there will be some MP drain sythes and i will be a melee syting BLM.. and i wont worry about TP.. i just want MP drain ;)

Blm & Sythe.... (O.O) don't know what they were thinking with this one?

OH, DUH!!! THat's what I get for posting before I've had my second cup of coffee! LOL

Thanks!

Meh update. Just a big screwfest for fisherman. Fishing rusty caps to buy moat carp for Lu Shang is no more. Rabao, moatcarp capitol of the world has now been nerfed of said moat carps. People fishing there last night and today with high fishing skill are getting crap now. Lest we forget monsters off of cliffs now. Instead of catching fish to skill up on and to make gil from we now have to screw around killing monsters we catch, as opposed to the fish that should be there. Problem is you are catching more mobs than fish now. Thanks SE. Non botting fishermen are screwed instead of them cancelling the accounts of the botters. They want their 13.95 a month so won't kick them. Cliff botters are now in Windy Port. Didn't solve the problem.

Omg I think I fell in love with this patch lol. It benefited me so much I can't believe it. The 250 exp max is so cool since sometimes we aggro a pesky terror pugil and we kill it and only get 200 exp from it and lose a ton of MP maybe now we'll get 250 :) Also the reduced recast time on cover is great since my static loves trying to pull hate away from me lol. Also raise oooooo raise what else can I say but I bought the inflated price of 8k without a second thought. Went around after I got raise looking for people to raise but was able to find one and wasn't the way I wanted it to happen. Some rdm lvl 31 got aggro from a goliath beetle in ordelle caves and I was camping the chyme along with a friend and the poor rdm was dying. I wanted to toss a cure so bad but the chyme was due to spawn at any second. Well unfortunately the chyme spawned but it spawned in the rarest place and quickly aggroed the rdm and killed him :( I quickly killed the chyme (no drop >.<) and finally was able to use raise on the rdm. I was happy I was able to use raise but kinda bummed that he had to die that way.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Avatar magic burst ability, which is really cool. Tried it out last night, the MB hits for about 132-150. I also read something about avatars' blood pact ability having skillchain element...can someone clarify that please? I tried doing blade: retsu after Burning Strike from Ifrit (should have made a scission?) and nothing.
