FFXI Version Update (6/21/10)

[rog]

Casting Time: 7 seconds
Recast Time: 10 seconds

You can basicly spam that on tanks w/e it will go off and it means they have like 100% on be not interupted on recasting utsu. Thats broken

Except for the 1-2 minute recast on stratagems.

And it's really not that broken. Rdms have been able to get -100% interrupt for pretty much forever. And they still can get it by giving up a bit of haste.

Rose Strap, White Tathlum, Hachi Kote, Rajas and Brutal should 6hit if FFXICalc didn't fail me.

Maybe one of the Magian trials will result in 450 delay or higher. I hope for at least 460.

[Atoreis]

if it is immunity to interrupts for a set number of hits, that will be sweet for tanking MNK/NIN

Who will need mnk/nin when main advanatage of mnk is counter to not being interupted. thats actually means MNK/nin will lose all adavantage on recasting utsu to other jobs now like war/nin who will not need counter to not be interupted.

With no Usu you only need to give up hands and grip for hachi and rose.

With usu you only need to "give up" grip, you don't need it for the STP from Rose strap but you can't use sword strap.

This is probably why it's so low to begin with. Then again if you hope for something, SE will crush you.

[Atoreis]

How much you need to recast :ichi when tanking stuff? 2-3 per 1 min top so lets say it will be for 4 x 100% not being interupted. recasting it every 2 min is not a problem.

SE:
"oh my goodness we didn't know rdms were having this much trouble w/ their hate, they even have to sub ninja instead of a more beneficial mage support job. We'll fix this, we didn't know! We truly apologize, player base."

[Hyan]

~All RDM players unite~

Let's boycott SE by not leveling our RDM's past 75, that'll teach them to not mess with us!

Also brb buying the new add-on.

I wouldn't consider counter as a way of not being interrupted being MNKs main draw as a tank, speaking for myself I very, very rarely use Ichi in salvage, even on bosses (assuming I trust my support, and things aren't particularly hairy).

The main draw is simply counter as a way of not only avoiding but adding damage, and not having to recast utsu all the time.

A MNK going Ni -> Ni relying on counter and sufficient support is going to be doing a lot more damage than a WAR who has to spent 6s to recast ichi and needs their mage to use their strategems to assure it doesn't get interrupted.

Also with perfect counter a MNK can still get a guaranteed successful ichi cast 1/min, I don't even cast ichi 1/min most of the time.

I like the part where you all assume new aquaveil is 100% interruption protection, instead of old aquaveil with a number of hits capped.

The white magic spell "Aquaveil" will now guard against spell interruption a set number of times.

Doesn't say 100% anywhere.

Except then you can't use any stratagems for anything else.

If abyssea is being labeled as an exp spot and it says you cant use cor roll or dedication effects I'm expecting better than 40k/hour if you can only do it twice per week and it interferes with the endgame content in the zone.

[Cutriss]

The empyrean staff has 3 jobs on it

magian staves have 6

therefore

the empyrean weapons do not come from upgrading existing weapons through magian

Important asterisk note:

The elemental Magian staves have 6.

The physical staves have 3. Those three are BLM/SMN/SCH, just like the Empyrean staff.

When you factor that in, the Empyrean weapons actually have perfect alignment with the Magian weapons.

Does that mean I think that they *start* with Magian weapons? Nope...but just pointing that out. Weird that WAR doesn't get any great sword action anymore.

Also, I thought it was pretty obvious that Aquaveil just getting Seigan Third Eye-style decay.

Twice per week? Isn't it 3 stones a day and you get one every 20 hours?

[Yoky]

I like how you all are saying Aquaveil is getting nerfed.. When did it ever proc?? It's kinda like the rdm resist petri trait, if it procs, you are a lucky SOB.

Now as for the H2h... I really really hope its both hand and not some stupid footfork. I did the +dmg cause the OAT was broken, so who knows what SE has in mind. If OAT is working now, looks like i'm doing another magian. That will be 4 for me.

And the AByessa weapon damage ... WTF? Are you kidding me... Thats crazy, I'm excited about that...And they will be augmentable in a future update .... WOOT!!!

This is certainly my hope, but for some reason I don't see it going that way <_<

[Atoreis]

about masamune: rajas, merits, usu feet, askar body, brutal should be enough

Doesn't say 100% anywhere.

Saying that it's a "set number of times" really does lean strongly to a "100% interruption protection" for that set number of times. It wouldn't make sense for it to be the number 20% rate for a set number of times, unless it really is a nerf. Because that would be a 20% reduction rate for x number of times, rather than 20% reduction rate for the duration of the spell.
