.DAT Mining: 7/7/2014 Update - Findings and Discussion

[Sechs]

Wonder if we'll be seeing a rise in full dispel spamming mobs

Sure hope we won't.
No hate for Geo on my side, but I always found mass dispelga mechanics (especially those that are random and unavoidable) to be a very very very very cheap way to balance fights.
Controlled ones and single target dispel (or single effect dispelga) is another story I guess.

Finding: got indi-haste from fiat lux now that the campaign campaign has started. Have gone twice, got single currencies both times, along with other junk like philosopher's stone.

"now that the campaign campaign has started".
You mean you can access them even without having to gain control of the required zones?

People need to stop thinking Gravity/Grav II was -20/-40 Eva. It was -10 and -25. Did not get enhanced by Sab or Enfeebling potency gear.

Anyways, here's some info I found with a friend on Distract and Haste/Flurry. Thank you Gob for being a test victim!!

Distract is ice based (makes sense), Frazzle is dark based.

Distract I = -35 Eva at base. Does not appear to have a dStat term but was just casting on a naked player, so who knows.

Distract II = -50 Eva at base.

There was no base potency difference between /rdm Distract and Rdm main Distract.

Distract I with Uk'uxkaj Boots = -36 Eva.

Distract II with Rdm Emp Body+2 and Uk'uxkaj Boots = -57 Eva.

Distract II with Rdm Emp. Body+2, Uk'uxkaj Boots, and Saboteur (along with Rdm Emp Hands+2 Sab bonus) = -108 Eva.

Both appear to have a 2min base duration. The Sab Distract II lasted around 4min30sec~

Also, you can't have both Haste and Flurry on at the same time. Haste II/Flurry II overwrite each other and Haste/Flurry. Haste/Flurry can't overwrite Haste II/Flurry II

Any of these new spells relying on Enhancing/Enfeebling for different potency?
I seem to get from your post that at least the enfeebling ones do not.

beastmen only have the throneroom on my server. bastok and windy have 9 and sandy 7. not sure if thats how it was before update. now if u could do these campaign ops without the required medal that would be nice!

[Prothescar]

-108EVA for 4m30s is pretty damn substantial

[Creelo]

Haste II with 420 base Enhancing gave a 35sec recast on Reraise.

Haste II with 541 Enhancing also gave 35sec recast on Reraise, so probably no effect like the regular Haste spell.

Whats the bonanza numbers? Drawing was today right?

[Creelo]

Oh!! MP Costs, maybe this was posted, maybe it wasn't.

Flurry = 40mp
Haste II/Flurry II = 80mp
Distract = 32mp
Distract II = 58mp
Frazzle = 38mp
Frazzle II = 64mp

I've gone 3 times now:

Slot 1: Byne, Bronze, Bronze
Slot 2: Carnage Elegy, Indi-Frailty, Absorb-Dex
Slot 3: Sack (L), Sack (D), Sack (D)

The rest of the slots seem to be the same as pre-update, so they added those 3 slots from what I see.

for any RNG setup, RDM is hands down the superior healer, with a competent tank, there isnt much to support to do for healers on the tank, and RDMS buff to rng and debuff to the mob makes it the best candidate for that spot. It just offers too much now to consider a whm in those setups. On anything that needs large amounts of AoE healing, whm will still be boss.

[pancakesandsex]

funny is they gave RDM the new debuffs and nerfed gravitys evasion down at the same time! I can understand this if the new spells cant be resisted, then it makes sense!

What nerf is this? Do you mean they reduced it's usefulness by adding an evasion down spell? Or did they actually do something to grav. I'm not seeing anything in the notes.

in version update notes it states:

Targets under the effects of Weight no longer have their physical evasion decreased.

[Sechs]

Yeah with a 0.00000000001% drop rate I bet.
Which jobs do you guys go as to solo Fiat Lux? I'm curious.

[Terravcota]

Anyone know what type of gear (single vs triple) and how many were added to Bhaf?
