The April 09 FFXI Update
Sad Prishe and mad Mandy!
Lets start with the FFXI Rant/2c! There isn’t much to say… especially how there’s a whole disappointment thread on BG (Not every post is negative, but quite a lot). I did wait it out a bit and see review.. but guess after reading those reviews… this isn’t something I’d pay for. I was expecting something a lot longer than usual if they were to charge “$10″ for the downloadable content. Regardless, here’s my 2c about the April update.
- They finally made a distinction between SCH and WHM. Great! However, those new WHM spells takes some skills to use… but with almost 75% or more WHM being retards, I doubt we’d ever see them being widely used… if at all.
- Squeenix pretty much watered down soloing in FFXI. Composure is an awesome spell for RDM’s, 3x recast on Refresh means a good 80 mp extra in your MP pool (plus you don’t have to worry about it). But this makes it more broken when it’s soloing. 80mp can almost buy you a Cure 4, meaning you can make one more critical mistake than normal, and still being able to recover. Of course, it allows the lazy RDMs to cover up their tracks now with longer-lasting Haste/Refresh. 10min CD, 8min duration. With this, hopefully RDM’s can actually do some decent soloing now… I mean not worrying about Refresh and MP saving is a pretty big plus here.
- Salvage buff was.. lol. Out of everything they buff Mad Bomber. I didn’t think that Bomb was THAT bad, but I was surprise their statistics shows that Powderkeg wasn’t worth buffing. Wut Da Fug? (At least they buffed Salvage haha!)
- Goby Bag.. LAUGH OUT LOUD!!
consumed by kanoe kun! Well yay to RoZ!
The way SE labeled their earlier post made me laugh. I mean common, you tell people that’s your Appetizer. Oww Salvage Buff.. that’s pretty good shit. I was expecting a whole long list of more Salvage buff.. but only to find out “Appetizer was the Main Course!” Caught ya! They should have made that as April Fools.
