[dev1130] Battle-related Adjustments

  • The interval between the conclusion of battle and the next possible time an attack command can be carried out will be adjusted.

  • The interval between the time a ranged attack finishes and the next possible time a new command can be carried out will be reduced.

Will this be enough to make protect actually relevant and worth having Protectra V at more than 1 merit?

They say category and don't mention individual attributes so I'd guess it will only let you go 12 + 12

Whoa, the last one is pretty crazy. No more pulling teeth to get guard/parrying up.

Also curious if the attribute merit cap will remain 12 or if they'll let you cap a single one all the way up to 24.

Not likely. I can't see it taking priority over maximum mitigation of magic damage. Though if anything, it might make supertanking possible again with stacked Minne and give some attention to Cannonball for BLUs.

I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself. .-. At least parrying shouldn't be as much of a *** after this. :<

Well max shellra obviously doesn't change, but maybe can take merits out of Devotion and lolMartyr.

I suppose with the nature of abyssea and temp item spams, MP management isn't an issue that would need any more than 1 merit in Devotion. So I could possibly see white mages go:

5/5 shellra, 4/5 Protectra 1/5 devotion, and go away Martyr, nobody likes you.

No.
The first thing to buffing defensive buffs is a giant waste of time. Kind of like the nin "merit adjustments", yay futae.

This time could've been better spent on actually adjusting jobs, editing enfeeble resists, buffing worthless jobs(ninja, redmage), editing the enmity system to not be aids, etc.

That's like saying it's ok to treat someone who got a paper cut over the person with a gaping hole in their head bleeding to death.

Aside from being a stupid analogy, job adjustments have already been called to be done later on, same for enfeebles. And why not adjust other stuff till those are ready?

I thought of Zekky's hashtag'ed post on GW. It's like when it rains after you wash your car. ITS THE FREE ADVIIIIICE TAHT YOU JUST CANT TAKE

ahem

If it's any consolation, capped guarding didn't really afford you anything aside from the satisfaction of completing it.

My guess is still a cap of 12 points per stat, but an overall cap of 24 points for the category. Helllloooo 12 DEX baybay.

sadly i can't even manage to test the skill-up rates on the test server. they "fixed" the skills with what job you change to to automatically cap when you zone... >.> main reason i spent 3-4 hours installing/updating it.. wanted to know how much of my post update time i'm going to spend skilling up guard/parry. looks like ill just have to wait to find out D:

Well evasion skill has always worked that way. You never had to actually evade anything to get a skillup. At least its consistant now even it does not make sense.
