I've spent the last half hour or so playing around with Summoner on the test server, it's quite fun actually maxing merits and all your stats :D

The good news:

  • Soothing Light, Carbuncle's new status removing BP only costs 74MP and seems to work pretty well.

  • I was able to use the Cataclysm Weapon Skill! Looks like it's no longer restricted to the core jobs.



The bad news:

  • Avatar Perpetuation Cost has gone up by 1 somewhere between level 90 and 95. Not totally unexpected I guess.

  • No new magian trials. I traded my Vayu Staff+2 to the moogle and was told no trials exist for the weapon. Doesn't mean they're not coming in a future update, but they're not available right now.

  • Ramuh's Stun ability is essentially useless for the time being. It is subject to the same delay as other BPs; it takes about 5 seconds to actually fire after you hit the BP. It seems to last between 5 and 8 seconds.

    Ramuh Blood Pact: Shock Squall
    The amount of time before it takes effect as well as its maximum casting distance, effect duration, and MP cost are scheduled to change.

    At least they know it sucks I guess...



Oh and just to cut people off before they start asking: no, Cait Sith and Atomos are not available.

Is Shock Squall a Ward or Rage?

Wow awesome! I was expecting it to be a Rage! It could actually be quite useful in AOE burns, then!

Thunderspark > Shock Squall > Cataclysm

With the right atma you've just done 2k damage + paralyze + stun to all targets within range. Could smooth out the Cleave burns quite a bit.

Has anyone done any testing to see if the avatars got another MAB trait at 95?

Do you mean SMN gets it w/o a specific sub job?
