Isn't Flashy Shot a merited ability? Just don't merit it until it's fixed. At least you don't have a primary, useful ability that has never worked, like Cover for PLD.

So because it hasn't worked in years we all just have to roll over and take it?

...TopShelf told Nas to roll back all your ZNM gear, do the gilpocalypse and nerf Fishing/RNG into the ground.

As it stands bst and blu are really the only jobs with any sort of traffic on their respective forums, outside of maybe blms crying about exp parties.

...TopShelf told Nas to roll back all your ZNM gear, do the gilpocalypse and nerf Fishing/RNG into the ground.

as one of those blm, i'd like to point out: it's totally warranted.

Oh yeah, theres a reason mine is sitting at 68.

hell im happy to have cover fixed before flashy shot. but all im saying is when lolthf cried out steal not working in the masses, that was fixed asap. again, no reason we shouldn't be saying much just because its not fixed then it doesn't rise to being "issue priority".

Merits: 5/5 Fealty on Nasomi gives a PLD a complete magic shield effect for 3.05mins, or 1.35mins with 1/5 merits. 10 minute recast. On Nasomi, Fealty is a 100% resist rate on all sources of magic damage and enfeebling effects. This is full on immunity to magic, which you can use every 10minutes at a duration of 3.05minutes. To put that into perspective, this is like being able to use the RUN two-hour (yeah, technically 1hour, but w/e,) every 10minutes at 6 times the duration.

Job Abilities: Rampart on Nasomi provides essentially the same form of complete magic immunity as Fealty, but it extends to the entire party for a duration of 30seconds. Recast set at 5minutes before merits. Like Fealty, this includes complete protection from enfeebling effects. Due to the incredible buff it has to its overall utility and potency, Rampart is able to act as a crutch on Nasomi where it was never nearly a strategic cornerstone in retail:

These abilities are so overpowered that a PLD need only hit 75, get a handful of merits, and go off to tank knowing Fealty and Rampart will more than compensate for poor support, gear, and/or player ability.

I’m going to murder Nas.
