December Update Belongs To SCH
|
December update belongs to SCH
I just wish they came out with a new Tier of Merits. I have everything capped,on all my jobs. I had em capped BEFORE abby. However, now my AM II's are virtually obsolete in many arena's by tier V's. Whm needs a new Merit Tier too.
new tier of merits was announced for lv99 cap, remember?
Why do people think that Stoneskin, Aquaveil, and Blink might be restricted to light arts? That doesn't make any sense what-so-ever =/. And besides, it'd note it in the update note, but it only notes Break and Aero V being an addendum spell.

As for making sense, how would it not? Sleep II is, the na spells are, a lot of spells normal jobs get become restricted. I'm glad it's not however, that would have been annoying. ---- As for the regain spell, I wouldn't be surprised. They like giving SCH TP stuff at the moment.

While that's true, SE probably put them there(I say probably because I'm not sure, but still) for SCH to become a better sub, and you have to admit, it did. Now, if SE were to put those spells into addendum, then SCH's utility as a sub-job is drastically reduced, especially on BLM when you're pretty much going to be fulltiming Dark Arts.

I'm very excited for SS/Blink naturally, it opens new windows for subjobs :D When Gravity isn't needed /nin and /blm will shine. I'M SO STOKED Kujata.Akeda said: Titan.Darkestknight said: Ragnarok.Corres said: stoneskin to sch. now i can survive longer with scholar sub as blm! *** rdm sub!!! unless they lock it under light arts. Enlightenment > Stoneskin If stoneskin was going to be locked under light arts wouldn't it already it be the case as sch/rdm? As far as I know it isn't and I cant see why SE would decide to change it. As a number have pointed out, it didn't specify addendum white next to stoneskin so obviously its a free casting spell. Yeah cause SE always fully says exactly what they are going to do ahead of time and never sneaks stuff in or forgets to say things...
Especially not huge game breaking things like changing emnity values of all the spells rdms tanked with. Naw they'd never do that to us.

You may be right but right now SE has a hard-on for sch so I can only see them making the job even more powerful than it already is. Locking stoneskin would`nt be an improvement so I don't think they`d do that.

Not true. As soon as your subjob has the spell you no longer need to use addendum to use the spell. Example: Scholar learns Sleep at level 30, but needs Addendum Black to use Sleep. If you are 50+ SCH/RDM, however, you no longer need Addendum Black to use sleep because Red Mage learns the spell at level 25. I don't think Stoneskin will be an Addendum-required spell, just clarifying... I can't think of any spells that don't require addendum that are locked to a specific Grimoire. If it was to be binded to an addendum (And therefore Light Arts), it would have been added in the patch notes, like was stated for Aero V and such.
"- White Magic Protect V PLD Lv.90 Aquaveil SCH Lv.13 Blink SCH Lv.29 Stoneskin SCH Lv.44" "Aero V SCH Lv.87 (Addendum: Black) Break RDM Lv.87 / SCH Lv.90 (Addendum: Black)" SCH getting regain? awesome.
On a side note: the era of SCH/DNC has begun - you heard it here first! Even better, yes SCH's do get another Stratagem at 90, yay!!!
Also Sublimation edit: - The effectiveness of the scholar ability "Sublimation" in converting HP to MP will increase based on level. Lv.35: 2HP => 2MP Lv.45: 2HP => 3MP Lv.55: 2HP => 4MP Lv.65: 2HP => 5MP Lv.75: 2HP => 6MP Lv.85: 2HP => 7MP Titan.Darkestknight said: Even better, yes SCH's do get another Stratagem at 90, yay!!!

If the trend sticks it'll be: Lv. 95: 2HP => 8MP Bismarck.Josiahfk said: Wow.... I can see why they didnt give sch cure V lol but it sure seems SE is really pushing people to go sch/blm and blm/sch, making it easier and easier to avoid /whm and /rdm. > < I wonder what they have planned for 99 to change that, repose could be enhanced so sch/whm has aoe high skill light based sleep with strategms maybe just curious but what does /blm offer? i mean outside of sleepga maybe i cant see any reason to sub it post update?

All /blm would offer to Sch over /rdm is: Elemental Seal Stun Sleepga Warp/Warp II/Tractor and elemental debuffs (burn,rasp, etc.) What you'd lose: Gravity Fast Cast Convert Refresh (don't need this now with the buff to sub) Dispel Phalanx Magic Defence Bonus II(Trait) Barspells Enspells If what you're fighting can't be Grav'd then /nin might be a better option, but then you would lose the MABII trait Bismarck.Josiahfk said: Break-ga and stun-ga could be lifesavers yeah but with the way they're enhancing sublimation to make scholar more independant unless your soloing I wouldnt /rdm you dont want fast cast? just so you have warp? i am sorry i dont understand the reasoning behind this. All these additions kinda makes me want to play again, but I've no desire to gain 50,000XP to level up ;_; Ohh and also that god awful lab coat >.<

In fact, your recasts will be 2nd to RDM85+. As for Dispel, we have that in Addendum: Black. I can't think of a situation where we'd want to be in Addendum: White while /BLM, so losing barspells, enspells, etc. really isn't an issue. Also, losing MAB II isn't as dire when you're killing something purly with Helix DoT, as most SCH gear straight INT for it anyway. But yeah, loving the new Sublimation changes too, plus the expected stratagem charge. Now if only they would make it so Refresh II doesn't overwrite Sublimation...

Also, losing MAB II isn't as dire when you're killing something purly with Helix DoT, as most SCH gear straight INT for it anyway. Still /blm doesn't really bring a whole lot to the table, other than maybe a couple of base INT, over /rdm. Sleepga and an extra stun would be nice, but I personally wouldn't give up what /rdm brings to the table for them. Couple convert with the new sublimation, and Sch should never run out of MP now, in or out of Abyssea. And losing 24 MAB does lower the dmg output of Helix, and more than your think when your dInt is high. But like I said, if what you're fighting can't be grav'd then /nin would be a decent sub to use. |
