Scholarly vs blm testing.Follow

instead of per nuke comparison, if both jobs were to nuke from 100% mp to ~0 mp which would have the highest net damage assuming roughly equal gear?

True, but i bet SCH don't have to solo their way to 75...

What's wrong with BLMs having competition for magic damage? Every melee has like 8 other jobs to compete with for physical damage

BLM dont really have anything but elemental magic, thus we deserve the highest possible dmg/mp and all that crap on it.

SCH have access to all sorts of spells, white magic and black magic.

To be balanced, scholar should only be able to put out 3/5 of the dmg a blm puts out total.

Anyway, sch doesn't need a nerf. Blm needs a buff.

ouch those were some strong words. I don't condone how you said what you said. However in the case of Theonehio, he has already given himself away.

He quite obviously, from what I have seen, knows a bit about what its like to work in the game industry. I have suspected hes actually an employee of SE or possibly another company with ties too SE.

He SEEMs to me as if he knows some behind the scenes lingo a tad. He never gave himself away enough where I could tell WHAT it is he does do though. So I cant pinpoint if he is an level designer or an artist or sound guy or technical designer, coder what ever.

Most likely I vote QA staff ;P

So this isn't conclusive, mind you, but my gut is telling me the guys "zealous" attitude might not be result of being a fan boy but rather hes sticking up for decisions of people he knows personally. ;p

============
side note/ rant:
Too be honest id rather have SE employees, come to forums and critique bad ideas or post what they think rather than not post at all.. I can give a damn less about some details anymore but so many terrible debates and arguments between players could have been resolved if an SE employee showed up and corrected us or explained things from time to time..

SE: "We felt sublimation stacking with refresh was a bad idea because..."
SE: "+charm effects the job ability "charm" only in this/these ways..."

I don't know..
The reason why people in the industry cant post freely like this though is because of 13 year old asshats who flame people who speak or cause drama about choices made. It could potentially cause problems with the company itself. Shareholders might read these posts.. *shrugs* who knows what the hell can happen..

You would practically need to have an iron will not to curse some idiots out I imagine hehe... Likewise it would possibly cause some people to leave just because they can have their way instead of staying thinking they would eventually have what they want even if its not true..

Personally I am just tired of the bullsh*t.. I would take a cocky asshat SE employee flaming people over still not knowing how +charm and +chr really effect charm and why gauge gives such shoddy results after like 5 years of playing the game. Or for that matter know exactly what made SE decide to not make sublimation stack with refresh.

thats pretty desperate to say the least..

But just imagine if SE grew a pair and ended a windower debate on page 2 or something like that... hehe..

Ah to live in a fantasy land for a day hehe.... /rant

Anyway...
Theonehio has always acted a little fishy to me hehe..
If not at SE he seems to work in the game industry.. Or at least hangs out with people who do..

*I could be wrong though.. just my gut talking here!

*walks out of the PUP forums for just a second* I only read the 1st page so if this is a conversation shift, {Please forgive me.}

*phew* sigh of relief here, so glad the WHM and BLM forum did not crucify PUPs when the job that has something if used right has unlimited MP. Even more glad that when we were the only other job to get Cure 5 and Regen 3 and Tier 4 nukes (Which if with proper merits and attachments and usage, kicks ass).

So thank you for not crucifying PUP for taking the orgionality away first, maybe it is due to our small numbers and even then especially due to our skilled compared to unskilled in that small numbers ratio.


Another point to on the 1st page "SCH should not of gotten T4 nukes" "That is the bread and butter of BLM" "I enjoyed being the only magic power house (what ever that one was)"

Well why not compare Microsoft to Apple in the terms of someone who used to be the only?

Game wise, does a SAM complain when DRK/SAM uses meditate and has a store TP trait? How childish is this in a "HEY THATS MINE GIMME GIMME YOU CANT HAVE" kind of way? Is the game still balanced? In the way it used to be? Obviously not, but BLM is not better than SCH and SCH is not better and BLM or WHM. I would say it is still as balanced as it could and should be. Let the little pig in to feed on the mom, geeze. O.o
