Cerberus.Kvazz said: /mnk was allways the best sub for zerging if you had 5/5 desperate blows tho <_>
Actually /sam was the best for 2 handers and /drg was the best for 1 handers
What did /sam give you if you had 5/5 desperate blows?
Assuming it's JUST for the zerg, and no need for you before the actual action >_>
it gave you 10% haste after LR ended
Stuff rarely lived that long with proper zergers :P
/Sam lets you zerg with less!

Cerberus.Kvazz said: Fenrir.Nightfyre said: Cerberus.Tidis said: Gimping crits? Does that mean SAM is back on top? ^^ I'm thinking it's a boost, not a gimp. Probably something like a critdmg+ increase depending on some stat vs the mob's VIT.
I got a feeling it's a gimp, to balance out all the dds that doesnt have crit hit weaponskills. Well, inside Abyssea it more than likely does jack ***so we can disregard that. Outside Abyssea the noncrit jobs are much better than they are inside Abyssea - SAM is easily in the top three for DDs for instance. There's even been speculation that Masa SAM > Ukon WAR outside Abyssea. DRK got a (very) nice boost here, crit jobs are potentially seeing an increase here. I'm betting SAM gets a new toy this update as well.

Yes I am QQ
Look at what is being changed: less hate for mage cure, less dmg on crits, drk becomes overwhelming dd but also will die in 2 hits. What do you think will happen to the hate system?
You will need a PLD there to cure or cover and take hate off drk. THF & NIN tank may not be as effective at keeping hate and even MNK might not be able to keep hate now if u have a DRK there. This update will affect PLD. You honestly think this update will affect PLD? Mages aren't gonna pull hate thanks to these changes, sure crits will be gimped a bit but your NIN, DNC, THF, MNK, whoever is tanking will still be able to hold hate comfortably and still do damage. PLD is still useless.

Yeah PLD is still useless, DRK just became the ultimate hate magnet.

Probably something like a critdmg+ increase depending on some stat vs the mob's VIT. Sure as long as the mob has really low vit ^^ SE got away from the "make the NM have ridiculously high base stats" trend years ago. I'm betting you'd at least see neutral dVIT values, unless they decide to base it on player VIT as well or something.

The only, and I mean ONLY, thing that will make pld a viable tanking option against all the DD out there is if they have the ability to make PLD go above the emnity cap for everyone else. Knowing nothing about computing code, I dont even know if this is something possible in the game as it stands right now.

No, the only thing that would make PLD viable is removing all non-PLD -DT gear and nerfing /NIN.

I like these updates. It was pretty obvious that DRK and RNG had fallen out of favor (for good reasons), and these updates should definitely increase both the effectiveness and popularity of those jobs.
Well done, S-E.

Almace isn't nearly as impressive as Ochain is though.

I have to disagree, since Ochain PLD is as viable as anything already. But viability is a far cry from optimal.

I have to disagree, since Ochain PLD is as viable as anything already. But viability is a far cry from optimal. Ochain makes PLD a safe alternative, but an unnecessary one that doesn't match up as a DD. Removing the things I mentioned eliminates the competition entirely aside from MNK and NIN in situations that favor them (minimal magic damage for MNK, minimal AoEs for NIN).
EDIT: Whether or not this is a good thing is highly debatable.

Holy pup!
Sorry to interrupt the omfgdrk topic, but I'm happy to finally see new attachments and ws~
Also I'm worried about the VIT thing. Reading this thread some people seem certain that it'll turn crit ws to crap...if Stringing Pummel goes down the hole I'll have to level a new solo-job T_T I dun wannaaaaa!!

I hope that regardless of what these changes do, it helps the game ultimately. No job in the game should be rendered useless. There are lovers of every job, and I hope they will continue to seek an answer to the problems.
I'd really love to see a comeback in PLDs. Cuz hey, all that armor is dead sexy. :)

IF SE doesnt, Ill still rock my pld likes its 2009.

I'm so happy to see that they are giving RNG some love. It's been my favorite job for so long, and I felt like I needed a reason to justify using it again, lol. Being a semi-TH-ho will make it worthwhile enough for me to finish it up and cap off the few seals I still need.

People keep talking about PLD's hate holding capability as if that is the issue. PLD (previously a career PLD here) is now outclassed, less because it is harder to hold hate, but more because you can survive equally well with a job that has a damage output.
Before this turns into the 1000th QQFIXPLD thread, I just want to point this out. If you want to "fix" PLD: you need to add something to pld that justifies their place in the party. A party buff, increase in DPS, or somehow weakening the mob should suffice.
