*The above content is still under development is subject to change before the official release.

[Raksha]

MMMMM SCH re/raise3

[Rayna]

Temper (RDM Lv. 95)
Grants the ability to occasionally attack twice.

Did this just turn my Almace into a Joytoy+2? Retired RDMs might be getting a healthy dose of vitamin D depending upon the potency of this.

[Strange]

It's probably self target. In which case, it will encourage RDMs to melee. This will not stand.

[Mahoro]

The Dragoon ability is hilarious. They probably got so many complaints over wyverns dying to AOE, which made Voidwatch proccing Breath moves impossible.

[Sahearniitth]

Still no jubaki ni. /emoragequit

[Rayna]

Still no jubaki ni. /emoragequit

They still will probably add it, but not sure if in this update. This is a response they gave in the official forum about this:

I would like “Ni” and “San” upgrades added to enfeebling ninjutsu.

If we are to add upgrades to ninjutsu, we would like them to be learned as merit points similar to red mage, so we will look into this during our adjustment of merit points.

The Dragoon ability is hilarious. They probably got so many complaints over wyverns dying to AOE, which made Voidwatch proccing Breath moves impossible.

Its actually been a complaint for years. Wyverns were always about 2shotted by most AOE moves on anything hard enough to fight in a group. 1shotted on some super powered HNMs. Now that we have new JAs (2 jumps that get AWESOME efects when its alive and new breath JAs) and the procs, its just more and more important than ever they live.

Any drg can tell you, loosing the jump effects makes baby jesus cry.

[Arcaniz]

Higher cures for rdm or GTFO

[Seraphym]

Just realized, no new JA listed for WAR or MNK.

I hope this new Absorb-Attri spells works well. Looking forward to trying that out.
