Elegy nerf or HNM Buff?

[Cesaria]

Suddenly I'm becoming more and more glad our dynamis was cancelled this week cos of emergency maintenance. Wonder if they'll let me go BST so I don't have to deal with shitty debuff duration? :D (I can dream)

[Amok]

(To back this up, if someone wants to take a BRD/BLM and ES lullaby a bat, I can bank on that duration being full due to the fact bats have no light resist)

Since my BRD is only 38 I went to Ranguemont Pass and can say Foe Lullaby lands for full duration on those TW bats.

[Darkyrm]

I doubt this is intentional, SE allways points this kind of things in update notes with something like "Mobs resistance to enfeebling magic has been adjusted". Of course there are ninja fixes but not in something that changes the game so much.

I tested ES sleep II on those ding bats in Zehrun Mines (LVL2?) and got 1/2 duration. Safe to say this is an innate elemental or mob family thing.

Yea I'm not sure if this is intentional or not. If not, at least you know more specifically what's 'wrong' so you can submit it to GMs with better info.

Tiamat ES SleepII lasting exactly 40 seconds


lots of fun inc


edit1: 5-10 ES sleeps done, not sleeping anymore now

FUCK YEAH

edit2: seems to sleep now again,only shortly tho

[Lonewind]

Another noticeable resist.

Requiem of Sin Mithran trackers

RDM/BLM - Prior to update, ES Sleepga lasted 30 seconds, post update, ES Sleepga lasted 15 seconds, on multiple ES sleepga (AF2 hat, AF1 body, Pluto/Dark Grip, Enfeeb Torque, Enfeeb Earring, 8/8 Enfeeb Merits)

[Innuendo]

I tested sleep and lullaby on TWW cardians near windy on brd/blm. ES sleep lasted 25 seconds every time, and lullaby (even with soul voice) only 14 seconds. This was on both PLD and BLM mobs, dispelled to eliminate shell interfering. Relevant threnodies made no difference.

I was expecting only lullaby to be halved since they're light-based (though this makes me less sure of that.) Global halved duration maybe?

i said before dynamis mobs dont seem to be hit with this. I showed a post where i got a full 90sec(well almost time stamp showed 87sec time on 3 mobs i ES sleep IIed.

so ya dynamis-basty anyways is fine on sleeping.

Well, it could be that messing with the Banish/Holy damage made them tweak the magic accuracy system and they screwed something up (or intentionally fixed something they didn't realize was broken until just now.)

Someone needs to test if this works for players too. If you throw up Dark Carol, do you only get slept for half duration? How about Barsleepra? I don't have a job that can solo things that can sleep me well enough to answer these questions, but I'm sure someone does :D!

Edit: The more obvious culprit for the unintentional change would have to be the En-spell IIs.

You have rdm, lazy!

I really hope they fix this, even if the elemental strength was intended it still effects mobs without specific elemental resistances and cripples a decent portion of RDM solos :/

[Renzy]

One of our RDM got resisted on Khim with ES Slow 2.. wtf lol

[thetruepandagod]

GM response was to keep checking information at playonline.com to actually see if this was a problem and then told me to check out the token and left ;\

[Tzar]

Our brd got resisted on Khim with ES Elegy aswell, so stupid.

[Thorny]

Screenshots? If you're getting straight resists with ES, it's something other than the proposed theories >_>

[Nicostrato]

Did faust yesterday with no problems, besides him being faust.

[Tarmo]

Did Cactrot Rapido today and I was getting a shit ton of Poison resists. It was Watersday too, and resists were worse then Seiryu. I thought this issues was fixed so I was like wtf?, but I guess it's all still broke.
