Summoner Changes 10/18/06 Anyone test yet?

[liefe]

Anyone test these out so far? I am at work and websense is owning up my connection left and right. How long does Hastega last@75 now? Do the 70/75 pacts have noticible enhancements with skill? The cure pacts? Does Noctoshield duration or mitigation go up?

[Koyangi]

my Diabolos dmg after a dream shroud went to 523 and I did a 583 once as well. got a skillup on a BP too ^^

[Kuropiko]

With 292 skill (didn't have my skill gear on me on the ship), Hastega 2min40s and Crimson Howl 50s... Pretty nice for Hastega.

Sleepga is actually in BP:Ward, hi2u Rush > Sleepga spam. 8)

[yrpaine]

298 smn magic skill, hastega 2min 58 seconds

[Tonko]

Great sig <grin>

[Tomino]

Hastega:
276 skill is about 2:00
301 skill is about 2:40


Dream Shroud + Nether Blast:
301 skill is 527 dmg (no M.Atk merits)


Crimson Howl:
301 skill is +25 atk, which is meh. Duration still too short.

BP75:
301 skill they look the same. /sigh

Noctoshield test gogogogo

[Damen]

298 smn magic skill, hastega 2min 58 seconds

holy shit........... if i recall though it was a slightly less potent version than haste? someone check recast times on utsu. I might actually be able to use SMN in meripo now.

[Severance]

292=2:40 298=2:58
6 skill = 18 seconds?
1 skill = 3 seconds.

[Faranim]

People in LS saying:

skill 321 Crimson Howl = 86 sec

my SMN skill is like 30 points below cap so time to skill up!

[Lylie]

Has anyone tested about Stoneskinga? (can't spell the actual BP name -.-)

Might make it at least tolerable now to get some damn buffer.

Can get hastega and both fenrir buffs up full time

[liefe]

The real question is does the bonus apply past capped skill for the ability's level or the summoner's current level?

[Slott]

earthen ward always lasted a long time.

[aurik]

Awesome, summoner needed something to make it a viable endgame job. lol

[Khamsin]

Awesome, summoner needed something to make it a viable endgame job. lol

It doesn't make SMN any stronger, really, it just lets them put up an Earthen Ward after a wing, and still be able to Predator Claws.

Nevermind the fact that Earthen Ward is only 200 dmg...

[Lordwafik]

Still is nice to be able to use 2 potential BP in the matter of seconds, instead of like before 1 BP per however you got the -recast to. Perfect example of this is yesterday's Jailer while small manning it, could give MaB and then Nether blast right after eachother.

Did you test to see if the damage absorbed has changed yet?

[aurik]

Am I the only one who sees this as an incredible boost to summoners, instead of just enhancing their flexibility? With a 3-minute march and 1.5 minute minuet...er I mean hastega and crimson howl...and still able to predclaws as MP permits?

If hastega Stacked with Haste and if you didn't have 2-4 WARs allready there for Warcry, I'd agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. I don't plan on replacing my RDM in a burn PT my SMN though anytime soon.
