Unannounced fixes/adjustments/nerfs/etc. (4/8/09)

[miokomioko]

I know SE likes to sneak little adjustments in here and there to balance things out without saying anything in the update notes so here's somewhere you can post things you're certain got ninja-fixed. Please back up your claims with at least some substantial proof instead of "ridill drop increased because one dropped today omg."


I only noticed so far that Sharpshot Automaton's damage output has been severely adjusted, at least on lower-level mobs, making me think there have been some damage caps finally placed on its ranged attacks and WSs.

Usually, Armor Piercer does upwards of like 1000~1500 on anything that's in an area like Zi'Tah or lower. Farmin' around for some caskets on PUP since I can easily kill two targets at once and I'm noticing it's Ranged and WS damage is pathetic now.

Point blank ranged attacks (usually a distance which yielded maximum damage) now is doing 55~60 damage on Zi'Tah Master Coeurls.

Armor Piercer is only doing 200~210 damage on various mobs in the area.

Daze is doing about the same.

hmmm...


---Update: The following mysteries/issues are currently at large ---

:: Enfeeble durations on Notorious Monsters drastically reduced as well as resist rates increased.

Was enspell 1, souleater, or bloodweapon effected by the multiple hit thing? Or is it only for new effects and on.

Yeah, friend's maze which should have given 22 marbles (we're new at this) ended up giving 9.

edit: if it matters, I was on my level 17 corsair while my friends were on their 75 jobs.. maybe it's based on mob strength or something now..?

Completely fucking over the top, but whats new?

Now thats nerfed, no ones going to bother lowering the forts defenses which means Beastmen now have an advantage.

My last two farming runs:

1st tabula01 might/smight/l&f/velocity/budget/amnesiac's/silence = 15marbles(40 pre-update)
2nd tabula01 might/smight/velocity/budget/numbers/amnesiac's/silence = 22 marbles (46 pre-update)

Duo'd w/1 75MNK lvl1 mule.

thought they didn't care we were farming marbles that way...?

[Wolfknight]

so apparently it's all Ranged attacks that got fucked, friend's rng did 300 sidewinder on lesser colibiri.

Enspell 1 is not affected.

That's somewhat relieving since, if that's the case, I smell an emergency maintenance.
