I thought about this and I think the best way forward is this.

Abilities on garbs can be upgraded with a new ability of the same name, and the ability replacing has to be of equal or higher level.

That way e.g. the Equilibrium+ garb you still forced to have attack, but you can then at least put an attack on with a passive you like such as victors rush and a * level. Because of this lame issue, on the consoles I ended up using the two FF13 garbs late on as they have 4 empty slots.

yeah I would like this also. They share the same counter as is no last one for the smaller guys.

Those dryads have instant summon as well, no charge time whatsoever.

well obviously those enemies that ignore guards, also ignore those 100% resistances schemas, I think the reason is they have a special flag where a fixed 100% is removed from the resistance value, there by needing a perfect guard (to get it over 100) to reduce damage.

Can this be increased? perhaps to something reasonable like 2000 or so?

Making a new thread on this as I invaded someone else's thread sorry :(

Request to make the ring that improves perfect timing more potent, perhaps a 0.5 to 1 sec window?

I spoke to the guys who made the youtube videos and they said it took 30+ attempts to get it pulled offl.

Its too much emphasis on timing, I am not a fan of QTE stuff.

With attacks its easier since you know the timing and attacks dont get as much of a buff, whirlwind kick is an exception.

Whilst this game has some boss's pretty much ignore guarding (cheap mechanics) unless you pull of a really hard to do perfect guard.

End of the day scarlet if a mod is made you dont have to use it. It seems you dont sympathise much with people who dont have that kind of skill level. As it stands that ring barely makes a difference, if SE cannot make items powerful enough to be worth using then dont put them in the game.

The balance change I would like (and yes it makes game easier) is making perfect gaurds easier. Perfect guarding is over powered and as a result in a few fights normal guarding is ineffective as you are expected to perfect guard, to give an example, perfect guarding with light guard is more powerful than normal guarding with heavy guard. Or to make it fairer, make the ring that increases the perfect timing window much more potent, so leave the default window as is but make that ring better.

O_o, it already takes a lot of time to extinct everyone, I guess some people love 100s of extra hours grinding :)

So krisan mod's to make game harder is ok but not easier? :)

I guess there is good reasons such as thundara and elementa farming tho.

But it will make also some other farming harder as some enemies barely spawn until other enemies are extinct.

So I would like to see a higher spawn rate of chocobo eaters. They very rarely spawn when goblins and the ectopudding's are still around. (dont suggest the major routes, as this is an issue if you need to farm in first 6 days).

When I entered the chocobo village I could actually hear the wood been chopped which I never heard before on the console version :)

But anyway if this mod is done I hope its also done the other way to lower the music. :)
