    Newb question about Penance

    Ok what exactly does this do?

    Does it stop the mob from gaining TP in any form, ie. hitting players and getting hit?

    Does it reduce the amount of TP they gain from said actions?

    Does it prevent the use of weaponskills by the mob?

    I seem to remember having a monk use it vs Faf and he still WSed(granted he has TP regen)...

    Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks..

    unless the info here is wrong, it cuts their TP gain from all sources by 25%, but doesn't bar them from using TP moves. it's like an alliance wide, temporary subtle blow. i think.

    Hmm..I guess that would make sense then....
    Thanks

    I tend to not trust the wiki much for that kind of info...but being bored at work I didnt even think to look there!

    From what I am told, this seems accurate.

    Re: Newb question about Penance

    In layman's terms, it's Store TP -25 applied to the target, that's the best definition.
    The differentiation is important; though the cap for Subtle Blow is 50, Penance is a different effect, so the two can stack. 'Course, this isn't as good as it sounds, since the Penance effect will only reduce what is left after Subtle Blow, not the original whole amount.

    So say you get 9% per hit, you're giving the mob 12% a hit (enemy TP gain = TP per hit +3).
    Full SB would reduce that to 6% a hit. Full SB + Penance would reduce that to 4.5% a hit, instead of 3%.

    Penance is still great, since it lowers TP given, and not just to you, but for everyone else who may or may not have Subtle Blow.
