Merit Point Adjustments!
Merit Point Adjustments!
Kinda nice, but I kinda am hoping for another tier of merit abilities :/

but also.. thats quite weak.. they better have something more spectacular in line.
Pretty sweet!
But I am hoping for a third class of merits for each job eventually.
If not at least some adjustments or improvements to existing merits in group 2. I thought it'd be more realistic and useful if Mantra were AOE chakra or something of the like.

Not bad not bad ^^b hoping to be able to merit new JAs timers/potency too in the future
I know SE mentioned something about a second merit system after we reach the 99 level cap, but in the meantime, this will give a lot of breathing room to people with multiple mages or multiple melees leveled.
As an example, it's tough to split 16 merits among useful magic skills like Elemental, Enfeebling, Summoning, and Blue Magic Skill. In my case, my only mages are BLM and RDM, so now I can look at adding Dark Magic or maybe even Enhancing Magic to my Elemental/Enfeebling merits. It'll probably be Dark Magic...

Eh ele/enfeeble merits are pretty useless tbh...

This means we can finally cap up to 4 weapon skill types, or 3 weapon types and two defensive types. Or all 4 defensive types and 2 weapon types :3 It'll be nice to essentially "specialize" in whatever we want to make more classes we level expendable or a single one even more diverse.
Glad to hear they are giving us a greater cap, but would've been nicer to completely remove the limit to combat/magic/attribute skills etc and let use maximize each one. IMO.

So this will give BLMs a third element to 5/5? If so, I'm interested

They said the new "merit system" was for lvl.99. Last I checked we are still only 90.

Yep. I've seen the error of my ways.
We've never been without atmas and we'll never be without atmas. I'm dropping all my +1 and +2 AF3 when I get home, and I'm selling off all my nuking and enfeebling gear. I shall gear my mages solely with NQ staves, Refresh gear, and MP gear.
Anything else is just silly.

This is just a stepping stone to the next update! I believe the real meat will be there.
I'm happy with these changes!
I could use more Combat Skill merits, that's for sure!

This post becomes epic win if you read it in Skwisgaar Skwigelf's voice. Add a mumble of "Grandpa's Guitars" at the end for added effect.

Cause exp is so hard to get bro. I guess it would be such a challenge having to change your merits around to suit current end game :/.

I'm not sure why people are even complaining in the first place!
It's a bonus. *Bonus*. You'll never lose anything, you'll only get better with these minor adjustments.
Again, it's a *bonus*.
People complain for the dumbest things, I swear >_>
Would you enjoy it better if it was a nerf? >___>
