New Merit Point Category for Blue Mage, Corsair, and Puppetmaster
In the upcoming version update, we will be adding the "Group 2" merit point category for blue mages, corsairs, and puppetmasters.
Each of these jobs will gain access to four new job abilities and traits that should prove invaluable in a variety of situations. See the tables below for a description of each ability.
*Convergence will also increase the power of blue magic spells that are originally single target effects.
Maximum Point Allocation for Combat Skills and Magic Skills
- The maximum limit for point allocation in the "Combat Skills" and "Magic Skills" merit point categories will be increased for all jobs.
"Combat Skills" maximum total ability increases:
- 12 > 20
"Magic Skills" maximum total ability increases:
- 8 > 16
*The maximum limit for each of the abilities within these categories will remain unchanged.
Further adjustments will be announced on the day of the version update.
Snake Eyes I will put 3 Merits into to get the recast as low as possible, and it better be a 5 minute JA with Additional Merits lowering the cast time by 30 seconds. Winning Streak might be worth it, because that will allow you to roll less often, so you could concentrate on funner things like Meleeing and Shooting and whatnot. Fold would be interesting, but only dependant on how often you bust, really. Personally, if I roll something and don't get the numbers I want, or miss the people that need the buffs, I will purposely Bust the roll (Run away and Bust it on myself so the others don't get the negative effect). That way, in 30 seconds when Phantom Roll is active again, you can run up to them and try again. This in turn allows you to roll any roll you like consecutively, (Say you went Bust > War Roll > Smn Roll, you could go War Roll again if you missed someone or for a better number because Bust will still be in effect). So Fold might be worth looking into. Loaded Deck... Kinda useless... If they made it so that it has the opportunity to reset up to 3 random Timers (Magic, JAs, whatever), then that would be awesome.
