We all saw this coming. I'm guessing you have to now wait for helix to be over 1/2 done before you can Modus now

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.

Based on the English wording..have to wait to see what the timing for it is..since in normal uses it won't be much of difference...just trying to stack it won't seem to work anymore.

I demand a shirt that says "I <3 SE".

[Starr]

If I could be assed I would go and find the post I made where I said nothing would come of it before it was nerfed.

[Shenrien]

The great Modus Veritas nerf of '09! quickly get all the SCH back on SAM.

I'm "dead puppy" disappointed at SE. I capped Modus way back before the UFO video, so I was already jazzed that there might be some pretty nice uses for it. I hope this new patch doesn't effectively make Modus useless on HNMs in general, or even NM mobs. I would dread having to redo Category 1 merits all over again if that was the case.

[Tezz]

woot no more Bandwagon SCH's.

Watch "Certain Notorious Monsters" be AV & UFO's

>my face when I saw the Version Update notes.

[Spekkio]

this is a monumental moment for me! to my knowledge i was the first person to point out this obvious, gaping, beat you over the head obvious flaw to SE which they eventually patched. in some small (very very small) way, i directly contributed to SE making a change based off player response!

seriously though, this should come as no surprise to anyone, nor should anyone be too terribly upset over it. given that MV is borderline useless outside of the multiplier trick we employed, having it nerfed is like a nin getting stealth nerfed. meh. MV helix spam was dodgy at best. we had a hard time locking it down to make it work and there was no strong indication on the horizon that this would change so in the end all they did was nerf an already weak ability.

lol@everyone who SMN burned this to 75 rather than a more useful job.

[Spira]

we all knew it was coming..

true it didnt even manage to do anything.. but it didn't have to get to that for people to know it was broken..

but i will agree, MV doesnt have any real now that its so much more limited

SCH is still more useful than a ton of jobs out there... if u think MV actually made the job good u're crazy. it was fine without it

People rarely used MV as is, hell it was the LEAST merited ability even after circles (pre-circle update)

Then people (well most non schs) finally realized it can be very broken and exploited to deal a fuck ton of damage in one go, obviously SE was gonna do something about it because it already took insane timing to even do it correctly.

It still has uses, just not going to be able to stack it..which shouldn't be a problem, because realistically, you can't say you've been told or seen SCHs told to stack their MV before the "word got out."

[NervosaEternal]

It had to have some sort of potential to wipe shit out or they wouldnt of Nerf it. Or maybe we should stop mainstreaming all the cool shit we discover >_>; but yeah this nerf makes me sadpanda

[Yvonne]

SCH's insanely awesome in Salvage, not to mention it's probably better than BLM for soloing/kiting in most cases.

My main concern now is how badly it's nerfed according to the update. I just don't want to think about deleting all those merits are redoing Category 1 again on any job.

[Deader2818]

Pretty much, this was just to stop from chaining MV. A single SCH will not be affected by this in any way

We did that before and it ended is mass LM-17s
