THF update would be nice. Just something to make them more pertinent aside from the treasure hunter.

This maybe a dumb question but why not add in a Thf's version of "Warrior's Charge"? Have is up every 2-3 min and it is a 100% triple attack on very next attack or something. This seems kinda pointless but it would give you something more to do I geuss.

Because "we" Warriors would complain that the THFs are jocking us. j/k

Speaking of Warrior's Charge, I need to finish meriting that.

Also, a WAR update would be nice. I doubt we'll be getting anything else after we got Retaliation, but I always keep my hopes up.

I would love to see a war update as well but I really don't see that happening. Retaliation was a great add to the job. Nothing better than 8 GA merits, 5 in Double attack, brutal earing, and retaliation vs. a mnk or thf type mob. TP, you can have this.

I wonder if that might be effective stacked with TA...

Re: Next Version Update Scheduled for Late July! (06/08/2009)

After the WHM update I'm not sure what else I would be on my wish list for an update. Maybe some new gear that WHMs can actually use? I've been trying to find a decent head piece for WHM for a while. Yigit and Goliard aren't available to me due to not having an Assault/Nyzul perma and the Walmart urban will take a long time to get with just getting IS from beseiged.

So I guess my wishlist is:

  • New gear for WHMs to play with. It's getting a bit alloying seeing lots of awesome mage gear coming out with each update but all of it is only useful to RDM or BLM.
  • Maybe a BLM update? Something that will make them more attractive to parties at 50+ since I can't stand soloing on that job. I'd level SCH instead but I'm too lazy to level RDM as a sub.
  • A continuation on the pop item NM system. I like not having to constantly camp and try to claim against demo's claim bots. That or camping a mob continuoisly for 8 hours for someone only for them to go AFK during the claim window and yell at me for losing the claim.
  • An incentive for people to actually finish both Zilart and the WoTG missions. I've been stuck on the last bloody Zilart mission for months because as soon as they get Sky most people stop caring about Zilart. Same thing with WoTG. It's really hard to find people willing to help out with the battlefield missions either because they're too lazy to repeat quests or are too greedy to do soemthing that doesn't have a reward.

Thfs do have something like that. It's a merit JA that usually sits on a 15 minute timer because Feint and Aura steal are better abilities in the long run.

As a War and a Thf, I can honestly say the "Charge" abilities aren't all that great. Wars can just max it because they really have nothing else to max in G2.

Except Retaliation means you're taking dmg and burning MP. As an ability on it's own it's not that great because it only increases our dmg output and tp if we're consistently taking dmg. And if we're consistently taking dmg it means the tank isn't tanking. It's nice for merit pts and such where mobs are too weak to matter, but for everything else, it's not really an asset.

Edit: And getting in spirit with the "I wanna see" topic, two adjustments I would like to see would be a defensive JA for war that can work well with Retaliate, maybe a Dmg redux ability so we can get hit and not bleed the mages MP. And some sort of short recast support ability for thf, maybe aTP reset or Stun like hit that can stack with Sa or Ta. Or some new hate manipulating tool to work with TA and Collab/Accomplice. Mainly cause they're the two jobs I play most and I like new shineys.

And of course new avatars, medals, zones yadda yadda.

Ahhhh yes.... I'd bring back WAR/MNK just for the fun of it if we could do that. Then we'd have both retaliation, counter, and some DEF. A better defensive JA would also fix /SAM a bit just in case your Third Eye wears off a little early you'll be able to Retaliate and have a bit of defense to stop the bleeding for a bit until Third Eye gets back up.

Re: Next Version Update Scheduled for Late July! (06/08/2009)

I feel owned....

I was refering to soloing though. War/Dnc in west altep page 5. The Retaliation ability is great for that boot of extra tp even in party's thought on that rare situation.
