Doesn't Attack Up already do that?

[Vanya]

Nice job so far, dude. It's great to have another talented ASM hacker in the community. ^_^

Can I request some weapon formula changes? ^_^

No

Default Attack UP increases physical damage by 33%

[Dokurider]

Whoops, you're right.

[nates1984]

Can I request some weapon formula changes? ^_^

Yeah, sure.

[Vanya]

Cool. I'm not sure how difficult these are so I'll just list them all and let you choose what to do.

Katana (PA*(Brave/100))*WP) ---> PA*WP
Note: Zodiac did this for Knight Swords, but I don't know if it affected katana.

Rods (PA*WP) ---> (MA*WP)

Crossbows (PA*WP) ---> (WP*WP)

Instruments & Books (((PA+MA)/2)*WP) ---> (MA*WP)

Poles (MA*WP) ---> (PA*WP)
Note: I mean Poles, not Spears.

Bags (Axe Formula) --->(PA*WP)

Cloths ((((PA+MA)/2)*WP) ---> (Axe Formula)

Thanks! ^_^

[nates1984]

Thanks Zodiac.

Katana (PA*(Brave/100))*WP) ---> PA*WP
Note: Zodiac did this for Knight Swords, but I don't know if it affected katana.

Yep, it changes Katanas to PA*WP. It also changes Monks bare-handed attacks to PA*PA I think. It does effect bare-handed attacks as well, I'm just guessing it's PA*PA, I didn't do any testing on it since Monks aren't even going to be in my patch.

Nothing you requested should be a problem, but the middle of the week is hectic for me with school and shit, plus it seems teachers like to hand out assignments on Tuesday that are due two days later on Thursdays, so usually Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are school onry, but I'll get them done over the weekend.

[Vanya]

That's cool, dude. There's no rush. I usually have programming assignments due on Tuesdays and Fridays so I understand perfectly. Thanks again! ^_^

Crossbows (PA*WP) ---> (WP*WP)

Poles (MA*WP) ---> (PA*WP)

Done.

The instruments/books one is pretty much done too, I just want to make sure I can't find a better way to do it first. The rest will come pretty quickly too, while I was tinkering with instruments I came across the areas I'd look for first for bags and cloths, so half the work for those are done.

[Vanya]

Sweet! Thanks! ^_^

[nates1984]

Vanya, I made a mistake with the Rod formula, a rather bad one I think. =X

Old: DA160608

New: D7160608

Change DA to D7, I've updated my first post, but I wanted to make sure Vanya noticed. =P

[The Damned]

Seeing this thread being bumped a lot recently made me think of something regarding the "doesn't take enemy's faith into account" hack: Doesn't that kind of screw over Innocent status?

[FFMaster]

Not exactly. If you aim innocent on the caster, it can still be useful. The caster's faith is still important.

[The Damned]

Well, I thought about that as well, so I know that Innocent isn't like completely useless.

However, for the most part, when I use Innocent, it's on myself when I'm advancing towards a magical enemy since most magical enemies are relatively frail and I would likely have a better chance of killing them outright than disabling (maybe only) their Primary via a 60% chance at Doubt Faith.

That may just be me, though.

(This is the same reason that I didn't complain about Faith not really doing crap to enemies as well since for the most part, people would Faith themselves rather than try to cast it on the enemy.)

[Vanya]

I like the idea of messing with faith in this manner. I think it'll make the game more balanced to not be able to use innocent as defense. On the same note would this particular hack not make faith a more solid buff for magic users? ^_^

[Desocupado]

May I suggest some evasion changes?
1 - Job's Class Evade affecting both physical and magical evasion.
2 - Job's Class Evade working against side attacks. (i.e. not only frontal)

[Skip Sandwich]

I think zodiac already did a global class defense mod, where 100% of the class defense applied against physical attacks from the front, 50% of the class evasion applied to side attacks, and 25% of the class evasion applied to rear attacks.
