Vanafest 2010: Practical Applications


"Up until now, most job adjustments have been implemented with ease of party-forming in mind. From this point onwards, we plan to shift the focus towards ease of participation in endgame content. The role of each job will also come under review."


Point number 1: "In addition, the hand-to-hand combat rating of puppetmasters will be raised from rank C to A, making them formidable combatants in their own right."

Ha.
Ha.
Ha.
Suck it, Monkeys.


Point number 2: "Support job abilities that are not expected to steal the limelight from main jobs as a result of the level cap increase will be allowed to come into play. Furthermore, there are plans to tweak certain job abilities, job traits, and magic spells on an ongoing basis in order to further accentuate the uniqueness of each job when used in a main role, as well as its versatility when playing a supporting role."

So... What you're saying is, RDM gets Refresh II, SCH gets Manifestation II, WHM will get something better than Afflatus Misery etc etc etc.

Here're some food-for-thought Job Combinations for you all to mull over:

PLD/RDM -> Refresh, Haste
PLD/NIN -> Yonin
DRG/RDM -> Refresh, Haste, Phalanx
PUP/MNK -> Focus, Dodge, Boost, Martial Arts IV, Counterstance, Chi Blast
BLU/NIN -> Yonin, Innin
BLU/RDM -> Refresh, Convert, Phalanx, Enspells, Protect and Shell, Haste, Cure IV, Healing Magic Skill
RDM/BLU  -> Chain Affinity, Solo Fusion/Gravitation
SCH/DRK -> Absorb-INT, Poison II
DRK/SCH -> Manifestation Drain II, Dark Arts
WHM/SCH -> Accession Haste
WHM/RDM -> Convert, Refresh
RDM/SCH -> Accession Refresh, Manifestation Sleep II
RDM/WHM -> Afflatus Misery, Afflatus Solace, Stona, Teleports, Repose
BLM/SCH -> Manifestation Sleep II, Hailstorm, Dark Arts
RNG/COR -> Quick Draw, Phantom Roll
THF/COR -> Quick Draw, Phantom Roll
NIN/COR -> Quick Draw, Phantom Roll
NIN/RDM -> Haste, Protect, Shell, Phalanx, Refresh, Cure IV
ANY/THF -> Treasure Hunter II
THF/NIN -> Innin

This is just a preliminary list. There's no telling what else is possible until we see what new abilities and spells we'll be getting!

Btw, Innin on a THF would be kinda lame :x Lowered enmity means less enmity transferred with Trick Attack :/ Though I guess that using Yonin wouldn't be a problem as long as it's not on something like merit birds.

Well, for the butt pirate THFs out there, the acc and critical bonus can't hurt. ;3
