Mar. 11, 2008 (JST) Update Details

[isladar]

-Very- interested in seeing what Retaliation does combined with a SAM sub. I'mma GA-tank the shit out of some Chariots if the JA is worth it.

Guiltily excited about SAM's new JA -- SAM needed a buff like I need a hole in my head. But now having it, well.. HELL YEAH MINI SUSHIS.

[Eander]

I've very underwhelmed Q___________Q

Am I the only one?

They forgot to mention they ninja buffed Mjollnir

Happy, fagface?

[sruon]

Hey spirits were nice to level summoning skill, for old-school SMN :>

[Spider-Dan]

So wait a minute...

The following changes have been made to the corsair job:
- The recast for the job ability “Quick Draw” has been changed to a “charge” system.
Each use of the “Quick Draw” ability consumes one charge, with charges being regained over time.
When using the “/recast” text command, it is necessary to nominate a specific shot, such as “/recast Fire Shot”. This command will display the amount of time remaining until a new charge will be generated, as well as the current number of charges available.

Seeing as how /recast "Quick Draw" will no longer work, does this mean that each individual shot stores charges independently?

Even if you could only store 2 charges per shot, COR would be able to drop 2k+ damage almost instantly.

Most waiting on datmines methinks.

[Kikaru]

think the new sam buff gonna make hachiman hands go from just a 6hit enabler to actually a great piece now *if people start meleeing to 200tp to self-sc alot*.

Also anyone hopeing that AV was secretly fought in a post update environment where he was ninja nerfed *hey it was on test server can only shine that slight bit of hope *

[Shamaya]

Sam BOOST (are you kidding me? Now they can 2 hour w/o 2 houring..).

Fucking christ.

And they've lowered skillchain resists.

Self-skillchain on the regular?

[Aldaris]

They want us to “use” our spirits which means they are “giving” us incentive to keep the out, just like our avatars.

I guess that comes to the dismay of 99% of summoners, but I have been using my spirits since i started leveling the job. Its all a matter of knowing where you can use them and how to manipulate them. Spirits were originally designed for long term use, and avatars for a short time, but they screwed it up by raising spirit costs and not keeping them up to date after the addition of banish III (which i think was the last new spell added to a spirit. And light spirit offensive mode sucks really bad anyway.)

Even with a lower perp cost, the Spirits fail because of low nuke output on anything thats not ultra weak. But even then.. why bother when you could just pop a Predator Claw? The only useful spirit if there was a low perp cost in "some" form is the healing power of the light spirit. No manipulating will increase the offensive power of the other spirits to be anywhere comparable to Avatars unless SE adjusts something. Summoner Spirit/avatar magic is just really weak at this time. Youre lucky if you get 300 dmg from a tier IV nuke from an avatar or a spirit.. something isnt right there. People dont use spirits because they dont know how... they dont use them because atm they are merely toys.

I agree 100%

Looking at the haste nerf in another light...
What do you think it'll do to the difference between 1 handers and 2 handers in exp situations?
Is it going to make 2handers stand out even more or will it make dual wielding more desirable again ?

It's only effecting Runechopper and Apoc DRKs. It specifically says "maximum haste" limit, not haste before you reach the cap, therefore Kraken DRKs and everything else that uses haste is uneffected. It's not a "DRK nerf" as much as it is a "Runechopper and Apoc nerf".

says him without even being able to log in game yet.

Says you who apparently can't read English. It says it in the fucking update notes, lol.

No, Izzy, I'm underwhelmed too.

[ByeByeTasai]

I haven't had a problem yet, POL update went fast... Now sitting at the Cannot Play During Maintenance screen waiting on Check Files to appear with my Dat mining Gearz ready.

you can force the update by renaming 1 file and checking files.

Ya, I wanted to avoid doing this in hopes that the update would be soon, but why not... Checking files now!

[Khamsin]

New Notorious Monsters have been added to the Wings of the Goddess areas.

[Izzy]

Go back to writing your FTML interfaces jewbag.

[The Blackrose]

Damn it feels good to be a Samurai.

Someone queue the music.

[Sir Zero]

omg new campaign medals still not available? D:<

/emo

nice update tho

New pieces of equipment have been added.

:nikkei:

[Spider-Dan]

What more can MNK get?


For that matter, what more does NIN need?

QFFT.

NINs and RDMs, in particular, should be breathing a joyous sigh of relief. Another update has come and gone, and you still haven't gotten hit in the face with a safe.

P.S. I like how Sneak ninjutsu doesn't even count as a NIN buff.

[Izzy]

where the FUCK is my avatar that SE has been "OH SO FUCKING SECRET WE CANT SAY ANYTHING" about for the past fucking year and a half too?

Thanks for the pokemon, mspaint, and rebuffing SAM update SE!

On a positive note, the SCH stuff and the WAR trait are nice...

[Raineer]

Also, do we KNOW there were not relics added? It said they added equipment.

I'm tired of POL-1160, go already

[Canada]

Wyverns actually do mentionable damage on (most) HNM fights?

And then the mob AOE's....

Also go go AV Ninja Fix! Don't throw those strategies out yet boys.

[Talint]

P.S. I like how Sneak ninjutsu doesn't even count as a NIN buff.

Casting sneak and invisible in the middle of fighting, are we?

[Katlan]

Makes me want to lv SCH now as it seems to have gotten a great buff.

Level what you want, we're still making you come BLM to everything.

how am i not surprised, i'm gonna go on a blm recruiting hunt! I need to set up my comp to my new hdtv i got this weekend :D
