[Xera]

Doesn't work with Reraise either.

Since Pro/Shell already last quite a while, think it's just a max duration cap? Any word on reraise?
Edit: Ah, no reraise either.

Don't know if this is true or not friend mentioned it on vent, and it could be due to multiple issues.

With composure on Joytoy additional hits did not process, he said he hit the mob 20+ times without it attacking twice and that when he took composure off it started procing right away. he doesn't have any enspell2s yet but I can't confirm if he was using the original enspells or not. if this is true it could be a few different things; the most obvious being that composure nerfs all multihits, less likely that joytoy is broken, or that they somehow fucked up enspell1s+joy. Just speculating, Its late and I haven't got to test anything myself yet so I thought it might be noteworthy for someone else to give it a try.

Nah it's not broken. I've left up composure almost 100% while farming (fuck I love this JA) and joyeuse/enspell1's are just fine.

Auspice overwrites enspells, and I dont like this.

Spent the last couple hours fooling around, testing Composure, farming for an Enspell 2 to test, testing said Enspell 2, and being horribly disappointed by said Enspell 2.

Joytoy is definitely not broken with Composure.

Enspell 2 also doesn't break Joytoy DA, but does not proc on multihit weapons or offhand with /NIN.

If you're single-wielding it's a very slight upgrade.

Otherwise, it's trash.

I cast Enspells in 293 Enhancing (should get Augmenting earring to break 300 w/ Glamor Jupon), so 19 base. Enspell 2 started at 21 on a neutral mob on neutral day, went up 1 point per attack round before leveling off at 34.

thanks for that, he must just really be a super unlucky rdm lol. also, yuck @ auspice>enspells ; ; sucks to hear for me too since i'm sch as well...

edit:
Hornetneedle Beestinger RDM would probably be lowest delay combo for Enspell2? Consider the BeeMage request solved!

SE said the spell lowered resistance, but it sounds like it actually makes the mob take more damage? Someone try nuking a mob, then enspelling it down til it caps off, then nuking again to check for added magic damage?

Doesn't even proc offhand at all so just hornetneedle or cermonial for no TP.

[Araius]

Enspell II is good for soloing stuff that you want to give 0 TP with Ceremonial Dagger...and possibly nothing else.

Composure is pretty sweet though. The recast nerf is minimal, and not having to recast all your buffs while soloing every 3 minutes is awesomesauce.

[Tsuko_Asura]

Hoorah for speedier Cactrot, Ash Dragon, Vivian, and Cassie? >_>

[Blasta]

I find this new ability excellent, also 15 acc is good boost for RDM if thats correct info. Thanks for testing!

[Arthars]

composure is very good for people who dual box XD

[Xno Kappa]

JA is pretty fun. Not having to constantly re-apply everything is win itself.

Updated with Enspell 2 testing, it doesn't seem bad at all for Ceremonial Dagger soloing but Enspell 1s look to be better when you can either dual wield or use Joyeuse. I'm really happy with the RDM update overall.

[Tomino]

So, can this JA be used in meripo for longer Refresh/Haste on yourself while you buff others as usual?
or would the longer recast timers get in the way?

[Blasta]

Who is going to do Composure enmity testing? It doesnt look like ability that pulls hate, but RDM tanks can always cross their fingers ;p

[Aragon of Odin]

Never read the other thread regarding this, so don't kill me for a stupid question but, is the +15 acc only melee acc or is it m.acc as well?

It's melee accuracy otherwise the ability description would have stated magic accuracy aswell.

I would if I had some way to test it.

It seems that way. The longer recast timers won't get in the way, i'm sure you can even negate that 25% increase with Haste and a few pieces of Haste gear.

Wheres that Kaeko the enmity tester when we need him

[Roaringhedgehog]

composure wears on zoning btw if nobodys noticed
