I just...

"- The "Dual Wield" job trait will become available to dancers at level 20, with the degree of mastery increasing in stages thereafter."

WTF SE i want it for thf >_>

I don't know how to make the main post pretty . _.)

Nether Void (DRK Lv.78 Ability Delay: 5 min. Effect Duration: 1 min.)
Increases the absorption of your next dark magic spell.

Occult Acumen DRK Lv.45 Grants bonus TP when dealing damage with elemental or dark magic.

The level requirement for the samurai ability "Sekkanoki" will be reduced from 60 to 40.

Aspir II: DRK Lv.78

Stone IV and Protect V better not be it for rdm ; ;

this post was total epic win

Hmmm... Sounds somewhat useful! Shame i didnt merit it a bit to shorten recast.

I can't believe we(sams)don't get conserve TP or tactical parry.

Also think giving other jobs Dual Wield natively is wack, the rest of the updates look great.

Massive sam nerf incoming.

Lol sch gets a tp bonus when dealing dmg with dark or elemental dmg!?! Melee schs?

Wonder how good the magic burst thing will be and if it will actually encourage planned skillchain/MB again.

Seriously though dnc gets DW but not thf or blu?

Yay for T4 for rdms already

LOL WTF gladly I didnt merited Protect & Shell V now we get the spell for it HAHAHA!

YAY for DNC update!!!!

inorite?

Oh and super lol at the oh ***I just nuked too much I need a 5 sec super shield for blms

Libra, as awesome as it sounds in theory, will be completely useless.

Glad I quit before SCH became a loljob.

DRK tier III..
RDM tier IV.....
PLD getting phalanx nativity....

The first one will cause lolnuking drks, but I can't complain about the other 2 just don't know... how it will turn out.

Not impressed by rest cept dnc 20 getting DW. I hope you get that as /dnc too. THF is really all I would benefit on it from, but god if thf/dnc isn't horrible with one dagger... i'll be so happy to get 2. <3 Might also open it up as a sub for blu, in campaign anyway.

Phalanx for Pld? I don't think I'll be meriting phalanx II anytime soon.

Reducing Sekkanoki from 60 to 40.. kind of killed it for me... now people can meditate and then sekkanoki too? ugh.


I am sad that Red Mage didn't get a new job ability at all. No stronger Refresh at all .. yet... and a couple of new lolspells? what the ***?

My two favorite jobs kind of got screwed in this update.
time to decrease my merits in that and put it in something else now... @_@
I do love the COR updates though, I enjoy cor alot.... I love how scoring XI on a roll extends it by 10 minutes... that will be so awesome.

Kinda suprised they gave the whm meritted spells out and not the rdm ones... but then again always hatred for rdm.

/sarcasm on

What if all rdms had all T2 debuffs and dia/bio 3 omg the power.

/sarcasm off

- Beastmasters will be able to invoke the aid of six new creatures via the "Call Beast" ability by using the following items:
Cunning Brain Broth / Lucky Carrot Broth / Deepbed Soil / Wool Grease / Vermihumus / Dancing Herbal Broth

Sengikori (SAM Lv.77 Ability Delay: 3 min. Effect Duration: 1 min.)
Grants a bonus to skillchains and magic bursts initiated by your next weapon skill.

Spirit Jump (DRG Lv.77 Ability Delay: 90 sec.)
Delivers a short jumping attack on a targeted enemy which suppresses enmity. Effect enhanced when wyvern is present.

Protect V: SCH Lv.80



I'm kinda pissed about Libra though. Unless it allows SCHs to increase or decrease enmity, it seems useless.

What's Aisha: Ichi

I think they'll change the merit to be a flat out increase to shell/protect.

I'm praying they give rdm a stronger refresh, or they're just going to have 82 whm/rdm ***on our faces.

That's SCH/RDM's job.

Well it can be used to coordinate with others that can affect emnity. Or let you know for sure when and when you can't nuke. Not to mention helping out in the testing process.

You could accession phalanx I for more dmg reduced now anyways. And still have acess to erase.

This will be nice for non crit hit WSes like Steel Cyclone.

Looks like MNK got a lot better at PVP and has significantly higher survivability.

Interesting, would certainly help BLMs caught in the crossfire and have the MP to spare.

This is cool, however, it's effectiveness would vary based on what ailment is given.


Seems silly, I can't really recall any practical divine spell other than reprisal and flash, and none of which require additional accuracy or added enmity imo.

This will be sexy. Super absorb with uber strengthened DRK with super weak mob, yes plz.

Heh, more e-peen numbers for RNG, yay!

FINALLY, some incentive to *** skillchain and MB.

This seems cool. Would be great if it works on debuffs and could probably equal or surpass a RDM's tier two debuff spells.


Sounds like nothing more than a super jump that actually does damage. We'll have to see how well enhanced it is with the wyvern present.

I'm assuming this is for Carbuncle unless SE decided to make Alexander a standard avatar which I doubt.
Lunar = Fenrir, goes without saying. It's nice to see some magic based attacks instead of physical ones.
Has diabolos written all over it.
I can't even begin to describe how sexy this is. I can only imagine what this would be like at #11 or if it stacks with mazurka and/or +running speed gear.
This seems pretty cool, but I can't quite grasp the practicality quite yet, but I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities out there.
Sounds like a powerful tool if used right.

Neato! Go go DNC debuffs!
Nice to see some better AOE options for DNC.
This will be sexy if it works like a non-conditional sneak attack so to speak.
Seems cool, can't quite put my finger on it yet. We'll just have to see how it comes out.

FINALLY, more jug pets. Can't quite make out what kind of pets they'll be by the jug name, but I'm sure some BSTs here can figure it out for me.
Holy ***...

This is really cool. Gives much more incentive to use this JA other than just for keeping it alive after an AOE or giving it buffs via Empathy. Perhaps even an opportunity to self SC without the need of Sekki.
Mind = blown. If this works in hand with capped winning streak, buffs will last 16 minutes and 40 seconds.
Looks like DNCs have an opportunity to save someone's tail and maybe even PL with some TP fodder on the side.
Wow. This opens so many SJ opportunities for DNC it's not even funny. Now if only this would apply to THF too :<

The "Dual Wield" job trait will become available to dancers at level 20, with the degree of mastery increasing in stages thereafter. wow only job that gets DW

Mana Wall (BLM Lv.76 Ability Delay: 10 min. Effect Duration: 5 sec.)
Allows you to take damage with MP...............

Occult Acumen DRK Lv.45 Grants bonus TP when dealing damage with elemental or dark magic.
SCH Lv.78 maybe be interesting to see the grant on bonus tp

Just aint liking the abilities/effect duration on some jobs. And nothing for Nin stick out to me really depending on what Aisha: Ichi is.Maybe give other jobs a provoke ones who might need it maybe

Wow, alot of nice stuff here. Pretty excited for the update now. SAM got pooped on though lol

SAM is already powerful enough as is, be glad they chose to give away their abilities instead of nerfing us.

RDM get Tier IV... they are already the top soloer atm doing stuff no other job can, will just make ***even easier with Tier IV. You know RDM will get refresh II before 99, just not now. They as ignorant as they are, won't make RDM obsolete.

The phalanx thing is kinda crazy. While no one cares about ballista, imagine pld/war with defender, or pld/blu. Not complaining though, sometimes you get stuck with gimp/lazy rdms, native phalanx wud be very nice.
