[1.2.379] More Magician Tweaks

What's wrong with that? It's just in case some people hit the damage cap. This is one way to bypass it.

It doesn't affect DPS though, whereas F/P and I/L got Mist Eruption/Glacial Chain, Elemental Amplification, and Extreme Magic to increase their damage, Bishops got nothing relevant to them alone.
The new change to Holy Focus will help a small amount, but it's still nowhere near as big a boost as everything else.

The mastery change is a ~1.11x increase in damage, compared to Extreme Magic's 1.2, it is constant, where Extreme Magic requires a debuff that will always exist.

Wait a second. Does that mean F/P gets +20% damage on paralysed monsters? Coupled with the buffed Arcane Aim, this could become pretty awesome.

And does anyone know if the 20% damage on DoTs from extreme magic is additive or multiplicative?

If it's additive, it's a small bonus comparatively, but would still be useful since fourth job skills are all massive multihits. Prior to this patch, Extreme Magic made monsters who were under DoT only for F/Ps take extra damage, and now the other status effects apply as well, and DoTs affect I/Ls since status effects could not affect bosses.

The Arcane Aim buff was meaningless except for Bishops who only get one (now two) hits, since Paralyze and Chain Lightning refreshed maxed Arcane Aim ~70% of the time. Now, Paralyze refreshes 87.5% of the time, and Chain Lightning 93.75% of the time, compared to Angel Ray which went from 30% to 75%. It does increase the scaling of the earlier levels though, which makes the skill useful earlier on.
