General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[matix]

ah okay, clears that up ;3

[Moridam]

Pretty sure only areas with Grounds of Valor had their Respawn times reduced to 5 minutes.

Sounds about right. I haven't done any GoV areas yet, but for what it's worth, Aura Statues were still on 16min spawn times yesterday.

[Zirael]

Yeah, if Fast Cast has a cap, it's 20% or less. Friend was getting spells going off at 20% with -40% recast.

I just had a thought. If Fast Cast cap got raised, anyone bothered checking gear Haste, magic Haste, JA Haste and overall 80% delay cap?

They only raised the cap on Job Traits so there's no point.

[Alistaire]

Drexerion the Condemned, Phanduron the Condemned... gone? Now this guy is lurking around, along with random new IT mobs...

Not gone, I fought em on my trip there to see the new mobs. Got Ascalon too...

Also, just got a Xanthous Cell in a locked casket in Zeruhn mines.

You're probably right, but you could see things like Dual Wield or Desperate Blows+Hasso as job traits, and SE could be generous about breaking 80% delay cap even. I'm still at work, so can't have a look at it yet.

There was an exact list what traits got increase:

Critical Hit Rate / Critical Hit Damage / Beast Killer / Plantoid Killer / Vermin Killer / Lizard Killer / Bird Killer / Amorph Killer / Aquan Killer / Undead Killer / Arcana Killer / Demon Killer / Dragon Killer / Fast Cast / Kick Attacks / Skillchain Bonus / Conserve MP / Magic Burst Bonus / Snap Shot / Recycle / Ninja Tool Expertise

So, no again.

Desperate Blows + Hasso is still restricted by the 25% JA Cap unfortunately, it was the first thing I checked. 80% Cap is still in place too or at least it was with DB + Double March + Haste + Haste Gear.

Awesome that you've pulled it together but I find that really hard to look at and get information from. I'm trying to update our version which is a lot cleaner. Do you need mob pics for everything?

[shaddix]

Ohsi... I wonder if cures are totally uncapped now too...

Can anyone check this? I don't have the means to do it and won't for probably won't for a while :/

Look at my last post here, it lists the only thing that had their caps changed.

[Toshiko]

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem but I got two different discernment messages while fighting Bakka yesterday. Luckily it wasn't like we were trying to yellow it, but it's still strange.
Here's the first img, I pulled it with Katon and it said weak to fire element... It was either lightsday or darksday, i don't remember now

Here's the second img from when I got the other message... same fight, I left timestamp in.

You do not think that cure cast, song cast, etc were lumped in with fast cast?

[Ocara]

Could be that each engage pulls a new weakness, which is why on idle it resets weakness (your next pull resets it). In your case discern triggered on pull before it engaged and subsequently reset weakness. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to test if this is the case, I'll look at it if I get bored.

Same thing happend on tuesday while fighting Whiro. Ninja got weak to fire message, so I nuked fire and got light message.

Well it refers to the specific job traits so I wouldn't think so, not so sure though.

I think it's weirder that it went from fire(Has to be darksday, fire or earth) to lightning(Has to be Lightning, Light, Ice). That should be impossible.

Good point. Hopefully it's a bug and not a system change. Since they just added new discernment stuff for voidwalkers it's not far fetched to believe they screwed up the old discernment in the process.

[Ophannus]

Fix my mappy! I keep popping Shoggoth instead of LL ughh

now that i think about it. tuesday i brewed a few glavoids, cataclysm gave fire weakness message, swapped to sword and gave it 3 clean red lotus blades.. nothing happened

edit: now that i made myself look like an idiot by posting this. i guess its obvious blood weapon stopped it
