Job Adjustments (4/21/11)
Job Adjustments (4/21/11)
Crit damage being based on the targets Vit sounds like a War Mighty Strikes nerf to me...Going to reserve judgment on this tho till the actual update and I can get out and parse it.
RNG>THF now?
Oh joy! :D
Oh joy! :D
Epic win for Pup in this update.. bout time we got some new attachments, and (for the most part) they look awesome... the weaponskills we will see but they sound great... Im wondering why harly didnt get anything

Nah, I don't think the bitching stems from the adjustments to RNG, DRK, and PUP. If anything, I'm happy those jobs received adjustments.
With SE, you always have to look for those seemingly innocent one-liners in update notes because those are the ones that tend to wreak havoc.
so uh
would this be the best tp setup for DRK?
25% haste, 6-hit. <.<
edit: this is with current gear.

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.
Was doubting it would ever happen, but this update brings hope.

As odd as it sounds, the DRK7hit using the Atheling-EAF+2Helm/Body is better than the 6hit, I'm also pretty sure that isn't even a true6, since you have to ws in a lot of ultragimp equip too.

I tried to find an example of one of these one-liners wreaking havoc, but I can't find the example I wanted in the old update notes. It seems SE scrubbed them.
Does anyone else remember the magic-resistance clusterfuck from the April 2009 update? The update notes on the official FFXI site were scrubbed clean of any reference to this change, but I found a thread here in reference to it: Dasva's post on the update's changes to elemental affinities and magic resistance.
I'm not as optimistic as Nightfyre, so I'm half-expecting a nasty nerf to critical hits and critical hit weaponskills with this upcoming VIT adjustment.

It seem's like too much of a waste of the set bonus in that setup. I'm currently using this (albeit +1 hands and body for the moment) and swapping in other gear for tanking etc.
EDIT* Zic beat me to it :x
Shield should actually proc.

That's because the mage frames normally learn weapon skills later compared to the Valor/Sharpshot frame. But still, win for pup. Hell, win for everyone.
