Starting to sound like FFXI-2 though.

How many people are actually planning on playing again (if any) when the job patch hits? It's supposed to be adding two new raid dungeons as well as all the job stuff.

Problem is, if nobody's playing, we can't really do any of it.

im on

Just a small correction I noticed Whisp:

Ever since they removed the guard ability and made shield blocking automatic, it's no longer possible to parry while a shield is equipped. Foresight is useless on Gla/Pld.

I'd suggest either Bloodbath, or triple up on Raise/Cure/Stoneskin. Stoneskin would be hard to cast while tanking without Sanguine Rite from THM to prevent interrupt though.

EDIT: Although, PLD also gets it's own Cure spell. When you cast the PLD Cure spell on somebody else, it also heals the paladin at the same time. Will probably make the cure spell useless unless the MP cost or amount healed is prohibitive. Protect also has questionable use because it's likely you'll have a WHM in your group casting it on the whole party. We'll see once they reveal it all I guess.

(PS: Everyone who can equip Raise should equip Raise, the new 5 minute recast timer is a killer.)

k i'll touch it up

ket, any idea what hallowed ground is? nvm found it: Grants imperviousness to melee attacks. Effect fades upon moving.

man this website is slow today

It's been slow recently because of some kind of stupid chinese web crawler. Something called Baiduspider.

Sort of like google's indexing engine. Except instead of just checking the site every hour for updates, there are like over 20 of these stupid chinese web bots scanning the site constantly, non-stop, all at the same time. (Look at how many "guests" it always says are on the site.) I've been meaning to ban the IP range but i'm not sure it'll keep them off the site. I probably need to block them from the web server/htaccess level.



Oh, and thanks for the list Whisp. Good stuff.

decoy isn't a bad idea for stuff like moogle eye shot, i'd probably equip it over hawk's eye where applicable. and yeah, what ket said, i like having stoneskin on gla. also sucker punch is dow only i'm pretty sure so you can't use it on blm, can replace it with quelling strike (it lowers enmity and grants tp on an attack spell also). same for whm, no sucker punch, there aint much choice for whm though, outmanuever or shield bash i suppose.
