I want to see what kind of effect that will have on Dynamis Statue parties. It could be about to become alot harder if this change has a major effect.

Cure 5 would make WHM more obsolete, something they said they're trying to reverse. They would then only have status cures and Curaga. Same for BLM, Giving RDM tier 4 would take away BLM's uniqueness with the exception of -ga spells. They did say they were agging more unique RDM spells. Something I'd much rather see than something someone else already has.

I agree with kafeen on the this the blms need to be nerfed in pt it could unbalance the job distribution. I mean then everyone would be a blm and party if it was easy leveling, and it makes certain events a breeze.

I would suspect that blm/ppm would not be effective I bet it would require items for puppets rather than summoning and the items like jugs would be available to ppm as main

don't be suprised if melee burn pts are heading the same way, which would suck at low levels since you don't get every job for every pt at low lvs

Double Post Edited:
Haven't read all of this got this from my ff11 group in myspace

Post "borrowed" from Killing Ifrit's forum.
Damn PPM seems to be a lot more fun than Corsair/BLU. @.@a
AAH!! I can't decide on what to play now... when's the expansion being released?

Puppeteer would be similar to Summoner and Beastmaster, in that the player would perform actions with a pet. Using different puppets, the player is able to fill different roles in the party.

Puppet HP is directly based on the puppeteer's HP. If the puppet is damaged, so is the puppeteer, and vice versa.

Techniques and abilities of the pupper cost MP, and their strength is based on MND.

A puppeteer is defenseless without his puppet, and therefore does not equip weapons. Instead, the puppet itself is equipped in the weapon slot. Each puppet has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Puppets attack and perform techniques by using different weapons. The puppeteer equips the weapons in his ammo slot.

Types of Puppets

Dragon Puppet
Slow but powerful attacker
Weapons: Needle, Launcher, Lance

Moogle Puppet
Supports the party with protective and healing spells
Weapons: Launcher

Shadow Puppet
Weak puppet with high defense and a powerful counterattack
Weapons: Needle, Lance

Weapon Types

Needle
Puppet weapon used to disable foes

Lance

Launcher

Khidir, that information is taken from Allakhazam, and is not official. It's just someone's theory on how a Puppeteer job would work. If you go find the actual thread, it's dated over a year ago.

[Khidir]

/sigh

I sorta thought it was too good to be true since the abilities seems very sparse apart by lv

Haven't seen this PPM one before, just needed some confirmation

[klvino]

Notable points in the video:

1:02 - Volacanic zone

1:07 - see mountainous area, looks like beastmen, large armored gigas-like mobs walking about.

1:16 - party is fighting gigas-like beastman spotted earlier at 1:07. beastman using Diaga or Diaga II

1:40 - in an underwater city, a fish is visible out the window swimming by with other temple spires also visible underwater

1:56 - Choco racing between other players, looks to be performed in Al Zhabi

1:59 - BLU seems to be fighting in underground zone, most likely movalpolos

2:08 - Cerberus clearly visible

2:09 - Cermet City, looks like zilartian architecture....again.

2:22 - Odin

[Gwynn]

I just noticed something:

2:04 - A boar-like creature.... possibly Kjata?

That's actually a new mob... it's like an elephant. If you check the official Tau website, you'll see a description of it.

[Kafeen]

Nah, one of these: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/aht...ter/marid.html

[Hyrist]

I'm not too worried about a RDM update. They stated they've been thinking about more RDM orgional spells, and I have a theory as to how BLU would really catalist well with rdm as either a subjob or main.

For instance, if BLU gets the EX Weaponskills, and a rdm could equip Thousand Neetles with a bluemage subjob, you have your rdm hybrid DD all those stubborn melee rdms have been wanting.

Also you'll have a shift in melee rdms away from the rdm job to go to BLU, as they seem to be a frontline combattant ontop of their magical proace (With all the AoE's they have, I think it would be dangerous not to be near the mob and limit the 'accidental hit' range a bit.

So I'm not too worried about any lack of updates to the rdm job. If it gets more orgional spells I'll be happy as a clam. Otherwise, I have plenty of new jobs to tinker with to see if any work well as a redmage sub.

[Khidir]

Has anyone wondered why rdm won't be weakened? I mean they had to have had seen Avesta solo Genbu, Guivre,etc.

not that I'm complaining^^

Edit: I think I know the answer to my own ? > maybe they will weaken nin as a sub so rdms can't pull off teh things they do

They probably take the attitude of, "Wow, we didn't think of that! That guy's good!" I mean, they have said over and over they want people to push the bounderies, but maintain game balance. - and one person able to do it just makes one really good player.

Now if someone -else- manages to solo genbu, I bet that attitude changes to "Shit, we dun and fucked up, lets fix it."

Though you are right... they've said they want to get people away from /nin dependance...
