[Ryu-Kazuki]

Can you at least be less hostile with your argument? Thanks. I mean holy shit someone disagrees, it's the end of the world.

It'd be easier for melee to upkeep because on top of they can also get capacity (I usually do on my melees because why not and I'm left with so much TP at lv 60), unlike mages who have to spend massive amounts of FP in order to inflict damage. Mages don't normally get utilities like melee does, and if they do, it costs FP. Melee can still attack with their weapon, mages sure can too, but them tomes usually have shit accuracy, or they have a shitton of BW with no STR to compensate like melee does. So it'd benefit the melee Papilions more than the magic ones if the change went into effect.

Charm is easily mitigated by level, which sure doesn't mean a lot when it comes to 60 vs 60, but only lasts until you attack them next, and be it as little damage as it may, still breaks the status. It's still not a guaranteed status out of the five, it still has a chance to do nothing at all due to the new status infliction rate, and considering that, why should I waste 6M, 20 + 10 (or with the change 22) FP for useless little ally that breaks ice tiles (even the ones I inflict), can be killed easily and has a chance to do nothing, meaning it's wasted FP (yes I won't call it wasted M because it's only 1 and nothing else costs 1M besides Shukuchi and Silent Prayer), may inflict the wrong status or one that gets immunized. So instead, I have to rely on Aposemagika for free ones, which still cost 1 FP per, and at the 6th round makes 6 butterflies, even with capacity is 4 FP spent per turn that the enemy can ignore, attack me, and the butterflies dispel once I'm dead.

Now, let's say I'm a melee Papilion. I choose not to get Invocation talent because I feel like it's not worthless, but one day I may want to use Aposemagika for free butterflies. Well oh shit, I just took enough damage from a normal attack to break my invocation and I spent that M for nothing, making me a sitting duck. That can happen. Yeah I can spend 5 TP on getting the talent, but it still makes me a sitting duck for a turn and on top of that, makes me burn 5 TP that might be used elsewhere (depending on player preference) just to use my racial ability that other races can use very simply with little to no penalties (even after the mentioned changes).

Welcome to being the laughing stock of the race game.


As for Elves? Since people like to argue skill points, slot, and item slots so much. Think about all the sacrifices an Elf has to make to match up to a Lich. We're talking about a natural racial ability, not something you should have to make a chore to remind people it's something that's part of your race. I don't see why Elves should have to go out of their way so badly just to make it look like their ability still exists.

Also, comparing base WIL stats. Elves can only get 69 base WIL, Zerans can easily match if not beat that with their 105% WIL growth. It's actually sacrificial for an Elf to get 80 WIL.
