&style=stDetail2;Job Adjustments&style;&br;
&br;
Today&#39;s Topics will discuss the upcoming job adjustments planned for paladins, dark knights, blue mages, corsairs, and puppetmasters.&br;&br;
&li=ng01;Paladin Adjustments&li;&br;

With high defensive capabilities and enmity generation in mind, we will be adjusting the effect of the paladin job abilities Sentinel and Rampart.&br;&br;Sentinel&br;The effect of Sentinel will be changed from an increase in defense to straight damage mitigation.&br;Also, all actions taken while Sentinel is in effect will generate additional enmity, allowing the paladin to more easily gain and maintain an enemy&#39;s attention.&br;&br;Rampart&br;In addition to the defense bonus granted to party members within the area of effect, Rampart will now also provide a &quot;Magic Shield&quot; that will absorb a certain amount of magic damage in the same manner as the spell &quot;Stoneskin.&quot;&br;&br;Shield Mastery&br;In addition to granting a TP bonus, the Shield Mastery job trait will also prevent interruption to spell casting when an enemy&#39;s attack is blocked with a shield.&image=im00;&br;

&li=ng01;Dark Knight Adjustments&li;&br;

The casting time for Absorb spells will be reduced from 4 seconds to 2 seconds to increase their utility in battle.&image=im00;&br;

&li=ng01;Blue Mage Adjustments&li;&br;

Changes will include more monsters available from which to learn blue magic, as well as additional spells, and adjustments to recast times.&br;&br;New Blue Magic&br;In addition to spells attainable from the newly introduced soulflayers and the Poroggo, there will be new spells made available for mid-level players that have healing and dispelling effects.&br;&br;Existing Blue Magic&br;The recast time for enfeebling blue magic spells such as &quot;Chaotic Eye&quot; and &quot;Frightful Roar&quot; will be reduced.&image=im00;&br;

&li=ng01;Corsair Adjustments&li;&br;

Corsair adjustments in the upcoming version update will mainly focus on the Quick Draw ability. Also, with the addition of the Rapid Shot job trait, ranged attacks will become a more viable combat tool for the Corsair.&br;&br;Quick Draw Accuracy&br;A corsair&#39;s AGI will now affect the accuracy of Quick Draw. This will make it possible to improve the accuracy of Quick Draw by increasing the relevant attributes.&br;&br;Quick Draw Recast Time&br;The recast time for Quick Draw will be reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute.&br;In accordance with this change, the Group 1 merit point ability Quick Draw Recast will now reduce recast time by 2 seconds instead of 6 seconds.&br;&br;Light Shot and Dark Shot&br;Light Shot and Dark Shot will be changed to have the following enfeebling effects instead of inflicting damage:&br;&br;- Light Shot: Sleep&br;- Dark Shot: Dispel&br;&br;*The Quick Draw additional effect of increasing the potency of enfeebling effects will remain unchanged.&image=im00;&br;

&li=ng01;Puppetmaster Adjustments&li;&br;

Several new automaton weapon skills will be introduced. High-level automatons will have new weapon skills available for use in various situations.&br;&br;- Melee Type&br;Inflicts melee damage on a target and drains an amount of HP in proportion to the damage dealt.&br;- Ranged Type&br;Inflicts ranged damage on a target and occasionally has the additional effect of Stun.&br;- Magic Type/Standard Type&br;Inflicts melee damage on a target and occasionally has the additional effect of greatly reducing evasion for a brief period of time.&br;&br;&br;A new text command [/ignorepet] will also be introduced that will allow you to ignore the pets of others, including automatons, avatars, and charmed monsters.&br;The text command can be used in the following way:&br;&br;/ignorepet: Displays current status when no subcommand is specified&br;/ignorepet on: Ignore pet targets&br;/ignorepet off: Allow pet targets&br;&br;*While using [/ignorepet on], you will be unable to target others&#39; pets.&br;*You will always be able to target monsters&#39; pets, player character&#39;s pets in PvP, and Fellows regardless of the ignorepet command.&image=im00;&br;
