A lot of discussion has happened here and there about whether Horntail and some other late-game bosses will ever be practical for some classes without HP washing. Various solutions to this have been proposed, so of course I'm here to throw yet another one on the pile.
Basically, figure out what level you want the boss to be possible at -- for the sake of example, let's say 150 for Horntail -- and take a character with average (or minimum) HP gains at that level, figure out the difference between that HP and the threshold they need to barely survive the boss, and then, add that MaxHP to that class's 4th job advancement.
What are the potential implications to this?
- Could set a universal threshold for everybody to do whichever boss staff considers end game, whether that's HT, Grandpa Boss, Aufheben, etc.
- It's a more straightforward change than some other ideas, like reducing the attack power of the bosses
- For archers, thieves, and possibly Magicians, this could be a big buff at 120, but I don't really have specifics on what that looks like. More thought is warranted here as to the implications.
Discussion invited!
