New Features for Dancers and Scholars! (08/12/2008)



Dancers and scholars of Vana'diel, this is the day you've been waiting for!

The upcoming version update will see the introduction of two long-awaited features for each of these jobs: the Group 2 merit point category and relic armor. With release day drawing near, we've decided to give you a sneak preview of some of the new abilities that await you.
So put on your dancing shoes, crack open those books, and read on!

Dancer
Job Ability "Saber Dance"

Increases Double Attack rate but renders Waltz unusable. Double Attack rate gradually decreases. Recast: 5min. Each upgrade shortens recast time by 30 seconds.

Job Ability "Fan Dance"

Reduces physical damage taken and increases enmity but renders Samba unusable. Physical damage reduction gradually decreases with each hit taken. Recast: 5min. Each upgrade shortens recast time by 30 seconds.

Scholar
Job Ability "Enlightenment"

Optimizes both white and black magic capabilities and allows access to both addenda for your next spell. Recast: 10min. Each upgrade shortens recast time by 1 minute 15 seconds.

Job Trait "Stormsurge"

Storm-type spells grant a bonus to attributes associated with their element. Initial bonus value: +3. Each subsequent upgrade increases bonus value by 1.

Dnc Af2 looks freakin' awesome. Sch Af2 doesn't. However, as with most AF2, there are some key notes on them that Enhances T2 Merit groups and JTs, so I'm hoping that one of the Sch items enhances Stormsurge for a further +3, that would be freakin' hot. And the Body better have bloody Refresh on it gdi >ooo And more INT or MAB gear. Refresh on the Body would make the Af1 Hat kinda overpowered though >.> Wonder if Limbus upgrades are coming out with this patch... Dnc animations look wicked too keke. I hope they don't fail to deliver on these cuz the Iceland pieces for Cor Af2 are pretty nice.
