Old Traits and Abilities Leveld up

[Jkun]

Thunder 4 is obtained at 76?

Yes.

Also, does anyone know anywhere to skill up at 80 yet? Somewhere or something that won't rape my fucking face off. Even Light Eles in Sky are DC-

Suggestions?

[Darkmagi]

Besieged works lol

[Atoreis]

Ok did another try on colibri and parsed 14,5% counter (17% expected)

Hits taken 395+67counters
Guarded 91 - 23% ( could be a little more guards on flurry but I couldnt tell if lower one flurry was cuz of guard or evasion )

guard skill 306 and 57AGI

Tbh idk what was the rate of guard before update on EP mobs.
I will try to run another parse past 77 when I get tactical parry.

I swear I'm noticing a difference in Fast Cast at RDM80, but it could just be in my head. I'm leveling BRD now or I'd test a bit.

I was noticing the same thing.

I had my spellcast set to /cancel sneak and stoneskin before it finishes casting.

It used to be timed just right, now I cast slightly too fast.

Could be Fast Cast IV, afterall last one was level 55.

[Sehrahin]

Fast Cast is one the easier traits to test so... go out and test! My RDM gonna be stuck at 75 for awhile still >.>

Chock these up to lag and denial that SE screwed RDM?

Chock these up to lag and denial that SE screwed RDM?

Lets get a little perspective here. RDM cannot tank easily anymore, but there are definitely certain benefits that come with the massive hate reduction on Sleep and etc (RDM has less hate when not trying to tank, a single hit from any melee will pull hate over a stale Sleep, etc). In every situation except when trying to tank/pull hate, SE made the job stronger with the update.

Not letting Haste be Accessioned? Unnecessary kick in the groin, I agree, but it isn't like we have to do more work at level 80 than we had to do at 75.

Red mage is going to need some kind of major update before the 95->99 level cap increase, but we aren't there yet so lets not get our panties in a bunch.

Looks like DRG does get Accuracy Bonus 3.

Just went to thickets on 80 DRG with 342 acc.

67 DEX
300 Polearm
-20 accuracy
Gives a total 320 acc. Add on Acc Bonus 2 for 342 puts me just 3 acc over level 82s, 8acc over level 81s. I shouldn't have got low eva check message. This is where I'm a lil hazy, not sure if level correction plays any factor etc in this.

Anyway, all the Greater Colibris checked as low eva, if acc bonus III was in play I would have had 355 acc which would be > 10 above their eva, resulting in what I observed.

Can anyone confirm that what I've done was done correctly?

That's correct.

[Sehrahin]

So does it confirm a Acc bonus III? And if so how much is it, 10?

[Jimie]

If it is indeed ACC Bonus 3 on DRG, it would be reasonble to assume it's the same as what RNG gets at 50 which is +35 acc.

[Byrthnoth]

Ranger's Acc bonus III is +13 Acc over the last one (for +35 Acc total).

[Zag]

I agree. At low levels my subjob was parrying much more then I remembered last time and my MNK76 is for certain guarding way more now.

I think our final martial arts trait was at level 75 so I don't expect that anytime soon but it would interesting to test subtle blow tests. They should just tell us in the update notes in the future if our existing traits have upgraded and what level >_>

[Sehrahin]

Another easy one to test would be Clear Mind

Reraise recast, naked 75 sync RDM, no haste, no composure: 53

Reraise recast, naked 79 RDM, no haste, no composure: 51

Reraise recast, naked 75 sync RDM, no haste, with composure: 1:06

Reraise recast, naked 79 RDM, no haste, with composure: 1:05

Recast as viewed on the recast plugin, the moment the timer pops up.

Someone do the math.

[Alibeemac]

Anyone hit 80 RNG yet and tested Widescan range? Given the trend of 20>40>60 I would assume it gets bigger again at 80? If no one checked yet, I hope to hit 80 tonight and will do a check. Full zone widescan would be win :< Less running about zones when looking for stupid Sandworm >.>

[Delain]

Also for the record (I dont see it posted here), Automaton gets Stone 5 at 77. Full magic merits, so unclear as to skill level required.

[Byrthnoth]

Thunder 4 at 76, Stone 5 at 77. I'd be unsurprised if they got access to Aero V by 80!

[Francisco]

Water V would come before Aero V.

[Byrthnoth]

Water V would come before Aero V.

Yeah, but one per level. Seems likely they'd get nothing at 78, then maybe Water V at 79 and Aero V at 80.
