All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Mar. 12)

[Jkun]

idk if this is whoosh or not but, in Limbus today, I engaged a mob on DRK just as my RDM refreshed me, then my WHM Regened me. I couldn't move for about 4-5 seconds. Did they even try to fix cure lock? It was fucking horrible.

[Drex]

I noticed in salvage that the spell-lock is shorter - it wears off about halfway through the spell animation, instead of waiting for the very last little sparkle to go away. It's still annoying as hell.

Yay for Tiamat popping five minutes before servers went down -.- wonder if I am still alive!

Funny thing bout Prudence, the last time we fought him, we kited one way way way the fuck away, to the point of despawn after he munched a couple of us , and then the 2nd ended up full dropping.

gogo whm and rdm kiting and saving us A FUCKLOAD OF TIME ONLY HAVING TO FIGHT ONE.

Thats happened to us twice, and once we killed the first with no drops, and the 2nd one never came back.

lulz

I got cure locked a few times yesterday so... ;(

[NoCause]

I don't know if anyone else was experiencing this, but when you zone with retaliation on it wears off and resets the timer. Also i was unable to cancel retaliation at anytime. Also for the Smn Elemental Syphon or w/e its called just zoning reset the timer on the ability.

i never got cure locked yesterday. but when the nin in my merit party did warcry, i got locked for a second

[Grad]

At least, SCH is now the perfect SJ for BLMs that don't suck at soloing.

Seriously, don't push it.

I may be reading it wrong, but it sounds like mobs that weren't mages didn't have MP after the content update, and they changed it back with the emergency maintenance.

- The NM "Skogs Fru" in East Ronfaure [S] can no longer use a specific special ability.

anyone know what it was? i hate when they're vague about this shit. if its removed from the game then just tell us what it was!

[nekura]

It used a move called Spiral Burst which caused disconnects for PS2/360 users and crashes for PC users.

[Hollow]

They'll at least fix the 1 minute stratagem recharge time for ***/SCH (was nice while it lasted), and hopefully fix Refresh not stacking with Sublimation.

...

so like, you actually think that was 'by accident?' lol

No man, just look at the game mechanics, that would be a little too much on the side of broken, akin to relic horn. It's like giving everyone Convert with no timer, even if it's only 2mp/tick. That's still close to the MP a RDM gets back from convert anyway. Let's see... 1000hp, 10min, 10min is 600 seconds, 200 ticks, well, ok, maybe not that close, but it's constant. That's still 400hp->mp every 10 minutes... and for a Scholar, make that 600 (gg af hat).

Seriously, 400/600hp->mp every 10 minutes, stacked with Refresh, Evoker's Roll, and Ballad, would be game breaking, especially tacking on relic horn. At least, SCH is now the perfect SJ for BLMs that don't suck at soloing.

I tried this myself on theory and it sounded great, till i found out that the limit of MP stored is 25% of your total HP when the ability was activated.. so unless u have a fuckton of HP, theres no way you will get those high numbers you are saying.
Average RDM have 900~1000 with a decent amount of MP, so that'd put you in between a 180-250 MP stored (when the ability ceases functioning)
Just do some math and you'll find out that casting refresh on yourself is still the best to do, /SCH's Sublimation is useless for RDM.
