Changes/ninjanerfs/ninjabuffs with September update

[Isiolia]

Was the +2 to all our stats a previous typo or did we get buffed?

Looks like they did boost all stats by 2 (at least at 80).

You're right! I was keeping a level by level chart, my stats a few days ago Mithra 80THF/NIN40
STR -64
VIT -64
DEX -82
AGI -78
INT -69
MND -50
CHR -48

Right now
STR -66
VIT -66
DEX -85
AGI -80
INT -71
MND -52
CHR -50

[Foxer]

Maybe I'm just unlucky atm, but it feels like my Dancing Edge has been nerfed, getting about 200 damage less than what I'm used to.

Doesn't seem so at all to me. THF or DNC? Would it matter?

That's good news, but do you think the lack of attributes increasing pre 85 patch was a typo? My THF went from 78 to 80 DEX, for example, but now I'm not sure if I had the 80 DEX the entire time and it was just reading it as 78.

I'm interested in new caps (no cap?) to Stoneskin, Phalanx, Enspells, Drain, Aspir and Bio series

[Iceblazek]

aura steal is not working like it used to

[Tythera]

aura steal is not working like it used to

What about it isn't working? I stole berserk and AGI boost from catoblepas while I was working on crests

[Khajit]

at the same time?

[Iceblazek]

it wouldnt steal any buffs for me, out of 6-7 tries, could be bad luck though

[Isiolia]

I'm interested in new caps (no cap?) to Stoneskin, Phalanx, Enspells, Drain, Aspir and Bio series

Phalanx/II still were 28, Enspells are at 21 (329 skill), SS not changed that I could tell in some quick testing before going off to farm crests.

[Aihree]

Ovni is well... entertaining now. It doesn't really fix pinning for good players, but it makes it a pain in the ass and it'll definately fix it for shitty ones.

What's changed WRT Ovni? I haven't been able to go in yet to see, still messing with crests.

[Nightfyre]

you must not play healer jobs

Setting aside for a moment the fact that he's a damn good WHM, what the hell does that have to do with anything?

lolmandies so I wouldn't put too much stock in it, but my multihit spells were all over the map on BLU a little while ago. I was working pretty hard to cast from the side/back but it was still pretty bad and damage was definitely lower than expected. Savage Blade wasn't doing too hot either, ended up sticking with Sanguine Blade (hardly a bad thing with the buff~).

[Bloomonkey]

edit: wrong thread

[Ddboner]

200 Apkallu trial for fire Axe trial (trial 301) requirements changed to manticore WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!1

[Evane]

The maximum amount of MP drainable using the summoner ability "Elemental Siphon" has not been increased. Also, Light Spirit burned through 1200 MP without casting a single spell.

Uh, what?

I believe they increased the amount of MP returned when using Elemental Siphon, which, unless I'm completely mistaken, has all of absolutely nothing to do with the frequency with which elemental summons cast spells.

Just because SE says they changed something, doesn't mean they actually did it. Come on now, you should know better.

The Light Spirit is another thing they screwed, sorry wasn't clear enough.

I see the 'also' now; my apologies, I was reading too quickly.

Edit: Oh, it was added after I started to respond. Either way.

[Evane]

I tried it again and seems like the spirits cast spells with no problem.. some weird glitch I guess. E.Siphon however still giving me 319 MP with day bonus and 333 skill.
