Holy needs a damage boost.

I said it.

I didn't "find" it anywhere; it was explicitly noted in the patch notes when SE added it in the September 2015 update.

Each 5 skill = +1 second before percentage modifiers.

Some people just need to jump on an innocuous forum to yell there instead of shoot up their workplace. Definitely anger issues, we recognize eachother :)

For Simon mainly here is the link to the patch notes.

Skill increases duration for all absorb-stat spells.

Would say divine needs a boost in general but nukes as a whole are pretty weak outside of MB. DPS side of whm is really the only thing lacking i guess, gear additions have helped on that front. Could make an OA trait for healing magic that's based on the amount of HP healed, improve the hp healed:TP given under misery since solace is still pretty much the go-to stance regardless due to its individual perks /randomthoughts

Holy and Holy 2 could use large boosts. The only thing Banish spells need is more undead content to hit for bonus damage. Since we are probably getting to fight a bunch of demons coming up, hopefully they have undead adds from Valhalla or whatever flavor text you need to get me more undead.

Actually before I say that and be wrong, does Divine magic hit the nuke wall or is it exempt because it's not Elemental?



I'm all for THF buffs (no seriously, more buffs plz) but the one thing that all zilart or earlier jobs have is more SC options either by virtue of relics or better mythic ws compared to later jobs that share weapons. THF and DNC can both murder all day with Rudra's but THF can Mandalic when DARKNESS, NO PARENTS! isn't going to do the job.

The only exception to that idea is that PUP has better gravitation options than MNK. This is a small concession, but it's at least something

The Japanese Freshly Picked summary has been posted here with what appears to be a few clarifications/additions.

Both is fine. Each job is generally reasonably balanced right now even if certain ones are considered meta. EG drg was the strongest DD in the game for a while, but almost nobody noticed when it came to making groups.
What the game needs for now is a wider variety of scenarios where each subset shines because blm never gets to actually shine outside of Ongo.
Make a mob that the more evasive jobs can evade easily while the heavier ones cant. (effectively making the jobs with A evasion have a hybrid set just for existing.)
Do the usual resist roulette.
Make something resist physical attacks while being weak to magic in such a way that jobs with hybrid ws can skillchain for mages. Eg the hybrid ws still come out to slightly higher than what physical ws on other mobs would come out to.
Have a few more gaol where dnc can shine like they do vs the bee
More mob variety for the sake of circle abilities.
Make a gimmic fight where the thf can rob the NM via steal, despoil, mug, and larceny to bypass the usual proc the NM also has.
Make a monster that's tuned so that it's a pet fight.Eg. it has a hidden debuff that makes it do less damage to pets and take more damage from pets. Make it a dragon so that drg gets in on the action somehow and to encourage the pet masters to melee too?

Have a nm that pops out of range and the battle is a ranged/magical one.

And also for thf steals to be lowered to 1 or 2 minutes. the good/decent buffs I steal do not remotely have enough duration to warrant a 5 minute timer pre-mastery.

So Sroda belt's increased cost negative effect doesn't apply to blue magic cures, for people running run/blu or pld/blu.
