Will it affect Mistral Axe at all?

;D

Think of it this way. It's kinda like the longbow. Farther away you are the worse your aim will be put the velocity of the arrow will be like a hot knife going through butter(butter being your armor).As for being close it would be a lot of power but not the same as a barrage's power(not the JA).

I think its a good idea because its kind of stupid for rng to be next to a mob EVER. Your archers so act like em! :P

_________________

the rng nerf will be kind of interesting depending on how far u have to stand because if ur a certain distance it totally makes u lose tp and if ur too far away then how will u setup skillchains with /thf because the mob will have to run to the rng lol.

I saw this coming. haha

lol i think rdm's need a update to make us even more sexyer, auto-refresh would be nice lol

and mnk's dont need a nerf they just know how to play their job better than you can yours, hoho XD

If your a thf/rng then u already have it bad lmao

_________________

theres nothin like outdamaging a rng in EXP parties. 2-3 sidewinders per fight is hot. You should see me in action, i make jong cry

also, its not like RNGs wear rings with -10acc per ring, so racking up a total of -20acc kind of defeats the purpase of tp building from melee. And also, you get about 4-6tp per knife hit (maybe more w/ axe) so tp build isnt significant from the melee.

on the other hand, you land a sidewinder and have an extra 15-20tp, then you barrage lands all 5 arrows for about 70-75tp, then that extra hit or 2 from the knife gives you the extra sidewinder. for a rng, it is ideal for this to happen, but for any sam/rng, you will just get hit by the mob for the extra tp :P

max out your convert recast merits, 8:20 convert recast is about as good as having autorefresh

RDM don't need anything. At all. Seriously. lol

And it's really hard to-

CTRL-1
/ja Berserk <me>
/ja Focus <me>
/ja Warcry <me>
/ja Dodge <me>

CTRL-2
/ja Boost <me>
/wait 1
/ws "Asuran Fists" <t>

hard ;p

Rng get trait bonus to acc and it apply to both r.acc and normal acc. It makes up for the negative acc of the ring and might even give a few more acc.

Which is why it's so annoying they hit so well with 240 capped weapons

Meh, the Utsu "nerf" makes perfect sense to me actually...

A PLD (or any other non-nin tank) loses some level of enmity when hit... and if the mob thinks it's hitting you (even though it's only hitting a shadow) why shouldn't you lose enmity from it? It's simply one more bit of realism into the game.

Besides, this happens everytime, people bitch, moan, complain about the update based on pure speculation, then realize it's not always as bad as they thought. (Not to say that's always true, sometimes it's worse :P)

As for RNG, makes more sense, it's already been covered by above posters.

Admittedly, my NIN is 7, and RNG is 1, so my viewpoint is a more than likely a LOT different from NIN or RNG mains, but that's how I see it.

And I still lost /cry

The sad thing about the rng update is it kinda makes sense in an EXP pt setting but when rng solo they have no choice but to be toe to toe... oh well that's life ;(

It would look cool and more realistic if rangers have to attack from afar in xp groups. And in HNM fights that are kited, they're gonna have to move around and find tactical positions from now on instead of standing lazy in one spot repeatedly hitting ctrl+1. As for the level player < level monster damage nerf, well you have to admit rangers have always been way overpowered, don't think it would hurt of they did a little bit less. I know it would make other jobs feel better.

I agree with what Xi said, They'd be happy if they were stronger. Only thing that weakening the offense is going to do is slow things down. But hey, maybe it'll result in finding better ways to go about it.

I love hearing Drk Drg and any other Melee complain about not getting PTs -.- Make your own if you can't get one. 90% of the PT's I've been in were made by myself or a friend I was with, it's not that hard.

I doubt the nerf'll be anything Major, if anything it'll make playing the Job more interesting (Beside on Kirin). And if does make RNG suck, glad mine's already 75 x.x

On the downside I prolly won't be able to SC with myself anymore ; ;

But if rangers have to change their positioning for xp and stand next to the mages, isn't that going to be a nightmare for bards?

_________________

I'm not too concerned about the exp portion of the so called nerf. That's just going to be a matter of finding that optimal distance. As for the effect on brd -- that too is a matter of positioning.

Mages Melee Range

Sure means the bard going to have to move more - but it's doable.

I'm going to have a wait and see attitude as far as the hnms go. The ONLY thing Rangers had going for them was damage. Considering the cost of keeping a Ranger up (bolts and shehei) specifically it may no longer be worth it imo. I may very well be giving up range for another job /cry.

I can kinda see why SE would rather nerf jobs then upgrade them. seeing as upgrading all jobs would make mobs in game even easier then they are.

if they upgraded anything its probly more useless traits like, resist paralyze

Mobs in FFXI are easy? What variety of crystal meth have you been smoking, lol.

FFXI mobs are very charrenging for your corrective preasure.
