Mar. 11, 2008 (JST) Update Details

[solsovly]

Um....

The following icons will be changed for Brain Broth/Cng. Brain Broth, Mlw. Bird Broth....... The unreleased jugpets!?

Mlw. Bird Broth was supposed to be a slime petand Brain Broth was a Couerl if I recall correctly. I'll stab SE if they are changing them in the dats and not releasing them in the game. Please god be uncapped and affordable/easy to make.

I would have to disagree with this, since Spirits currently drain more MP from you then leaving out an avatar. Sure, you have to spend 170 mp to use a BP, but on something that is too weak, or even DC, id do that any day of the weak to deal out 1.5k-3k dmg while your spirit is still casting Rasp, and waiting for the casting timer praying it does a top tier aga which will still do like 300-500 dmg. So in the long run you end up wasting more mp for less results trying to attack low lvl things with a spirit.
The only time i ever use a spirit is if a monster im running from is sooo close that I cant get Garuda out in time. So i cast a spirit to run away.

if your spirits constantly cast rasp over and over and can't do 750-1000 on a too weak, your spirits are malnourished, don't know what to tell you. And whats all the exaggerating? Spirits cost a total of like 3-5 more mp to leave out than avatars.

What a keen eye you have. Looks like you get new pets this update? :D

I find it kind of odd how a feature of DRK usable only every 2hr's damper's you so much, are you trying to say you suck the other 1:59:59, so in essence, you're still useless 99% of the time anyway?

1. DRK are useful outside of zerging.

2. Desperate blows is 30 seconds long, and soul eater is a minute long so it is actually either 1:59:30 or 1:59:00.

3. Suck it.

[Sera]

Edit: whms do this every update that any other mage gets adjustments in "omg they are replacing whm!" -- No. I love to watch the initial freak out though.

drk's shouldn't shit their pants as this update brings us the greatest change in gameplay since 2003!

MAGES CAN NOW ENJOY THE BATTLE-MUSIC!

oh god yes, yes, yes

i think the whole update is pretty sweet, but people will nitpick about this and that because you cant please everyone right

[TeancumMemsochet]

When receiving weapon-enhancing spell effects from other party members, the additional damage caused will depend on the caster’s enhancing magic skill. Magic accuracy for these spells has also been adjusted.

Hmmm, am I the only one who kinda likes this? But then again.. atm i cant think of any who can cast en spells on mobs besides Ramuh? and he doesnt have enhancing skill O_O Is tehre tier II party targetable enspells in the works?

That's so when SCH accession + enthunder it proc's for more than just 1hp per hit. It sucked when all I could do was cure while XP'ing off of birds, and the only unique thing I did amounted to less than what the simplest DoT did.

No, SE hates beastmasters. Must be a cocktease.

Really, the DRK's need to stop QQ'ing. Assuming our version the patch details is correct and haste has been hard capped, this simply forces people to actually have a certain feasable attribute. Mainly...

SKILL

[Koyangi]

That's my whole point, you all are crying over an every 2hr thing, if you're still useful without you're 2hr then there is really no point to whine. Whatever used to be zerged will still be zerged.

[Therin]

That's my whole point, you all are crying over an every 2hr thing, if you're still useful without you're 2hr then there is really no point to whine. Whatever used to be zerged will still be zerged.

Except now only by linkshells with Kraken Clubs, because no amount of skill is going to give you 93.3% haste.

But okay!

[Zak]

A thing that noone noticed in all the omfghastenerfQQ:

Again no female Taru Scholar and no male Dancers shown. Maybe we are in for a surprise with those AFs?

Scholar is gonna be the shit now anyway. Looks like i'll have to level it.

No only the other 1:59:25 or so

On a serious note, no, I'm not saying that I suck the other 2 hours, I'm saying that the 30 second zerg was pretty much the one part of the game where DRK is the penultimate job to use in that timespan, and that status (pending what the new cap actually will be) was taken away from the 95% who play that job who can't afford a 30 mil weapon. DRK in its own right as great DD, I love playing it, it's extremely powerful, but apart from zerg fights I'm asked to come other jobs since overall they are more useful in situations besides "lets fuck that mob up in 60 seconds".

DRK is a fine job in its own right, I have no problems holding my own versus most other melee, but other jobs are generally just better in most situations. The one place people are actually told to come DRK, and actually desired on the job over other choices, was in zergs, and SE (again, probably, pending information) will have taken that ability away from the majority of them, leading them to be less useful to the point where they may just be better off coming as other jobs.

Please don't take this as a QQ post, I'm just explaining how most of the people in my shell see it.

Where's our Absorb-Atk? I'd be more giddy over that. Or Absorb-Delay.

. . ?

I'm saying instead of giving us a spell to give us more accuracy (which I'm not lacking in the least, I have a perfectly fine hit rate) I'd have preferred an absorb spell for more attack, or one that drained attack delay so mine was lowered and the enemy's was raised.


EDIT: Dear lord it takes forever to get a post through right now...

So when are they going to change the retarded TP mod on Guillotine? I know we all love the ridiculously useful silence that usually wears off before the animation is over even with 300 tp but something more damage oriented would be nice for those non-zerging times.

[Spider-Dan]

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?

Hey, do those new teleport spells help WHM get invited over RDM in merit parties? No? Then I guess they must be completely useless, because any change that doesn't directly translate into increased DPS or exp/hr is inherently futile.

[Koyangi]

But okay!

Perhaps all of the things we zerg (my LS won't really be affected by this anyway, used KC drk's before we tried baha zag and RC) has put this game into easy mode, so if not as many LS can experience "easy mode" that's pretty fine by me.
