Version Update (11/9/09)

[Deader2818]

Really, im sure the Ranged Emity thing was removed because... No other DD gets that? And its not like its that hard to control your hate.

[Gunitsoldier]

Finally a slight improvement to my BST, pimping it will finally pay off a little more

[Baelorn]

Usually they toss in a few surprises on the day of the update. I don't think I've ever been so underwhelmed.

[Midnightjade]

It does take a while with their crappy acc and little or no haste.

They should be better with Mirke (pet acc +15) + Herder's (pet acc +, amount debated). I just got my Mirke last week and haven't tested the combo together yet though. I guess we'll see.

[dejet]

It's not really a nerf if we never got it. Do you bitch at Publisher's Clearinghouse when you get the letter saying, "You may already be a winner!"?

yes...

Unless I win GTFO

[TummieGaruda]

Zoolater is a 30min recast not a 3min

Regardless it allows you to use a TP move almost immediately after calling a jug pet.

[Destinye]

(I would really like to know what SE intended for this ability...)

You can't logically think they intended MV to be stacked in the way it was, right? It takes timing that most humans won't be able to do because not everyone has the reaction time someone else does. They intended for it to be used if you wanted to bump the damage up but while cutting down it's duration.

Obviously those that played SCH knew it could be stacked, but it wasn't really used till word got out and people started mass meriting MV and trying to oneshot everything lol.

[Xno Kappa]

I think the SCH nerf is more hilarious then anything else. Everyone saw it coming a mile away solely due to the fact it jeopardized SE's precious Absolute Virtue.

[Bikpik]

Adjustments have been made to the following scholar job ability:

* Modus Veritas
After a helix spell is cast on a target, a predetermined period of time must elapse before Modus Veritas can be used effectively. Furthermore, certain Notorious Monsters will now demonstrate resistance to the effects of Modus Veritas.

That's not all NMs (but I bet AV is in that list of certain NMs)

Also, I'm kinda curious to know how long the predetermined period of time is. It could make it easier to do if people can spam MV until it takes affect.

It's great. Both my expansion items have been augmented for BST and you notice the difference really good.

[Meian]

Aren't all these NMs just for the new grimore nms?

[Spungy]

Only thing good in this update is the ENM warp cape. And watch them nerf that too.

[Gunitsoldier]

Grimore? Doesn't synergy thingy or evolith work with dem stones? Prolly drops off all the NMs they gonna add.

[Biiru]

Do you think AV resists Baleful Gaze? The plot thickens...

[Shassira]

I swear, if I read about how overpowered a "BST Alliance" is and how 1000 Needles makes this update good for BST I am gonna quit for Aion. Oh, wait.

Seriously, the update is junk. It would still be junk if it had no charges. It's worthless. So you can do 1000 dmg every 3 minutes with an expensive pet and if you get 18 BSTs you can do 18.000 dmg every 3 minutes! Clearly over powered! Except when you realize that this can be done much better with any other combination of 18 XXX. CORs, SAMs, SMNs, a couple DRKs with KC (I don't even want to imagine what a full alliance would do...) and a long etc.

The bst update is absolute rubbish and changes nothing for bst. If you are a LS leader or an event leader you know this even if you don't play bst. You know that 1000 extra dmg every 3 minutes means jack. So seriously, stop it with the "congratulations!" and realize what this update means.

On the other hand, rest of the update isn't calling me to come back at all. Perhaps there's hidden stuff in the DATs that does. *shrug*

[Onorgul]

I'd bet safe money on it, Biiru. I duo'd my Swift Belt with a Beastmaster, both of us using Hecteyes, and Petro Gaze never stuck once. Absolute Virtue being immune to Petrification is not even a stretch.

Come to that, I don't think I've ever seen a monster petrified under any circumstances, but given that only Beastmaster can really achieve the effect, that's not surprising.

[Sho]

Do you think AV resists Baleful Gaze? The plot thickens...

When coming from a pet, everything resists Baleful Gaze.

[dejet]

Do you think AV resists Baleful Gaze? The plot thickens...

nope!

I must of missed the joke that is in this post? I mean most people in this thread are throwing random stuff out and making fun of the update because of the lack of well fun they added it seems lol

[Spira]

for all those asking about

English Version Only

if you look at the actual VU notes page u'll see that it refers to the stuff below it, not above..

ie. Carmine Bandanna / Orcish Helm

Ah right I forgot that BSTs don't solo.
