Changes/ninjanerfs/ninjabuffs with September update

[frodnonnag]

um, what? prepatch hardcap single bonus was 330, after patch i was breaking into 340s single bonus with 367ish skill

i.e. they increased the cap you could get, but not how much you get based on your skill level.

[Khidir]

someone wanna explain how astral favor was changed, the way SE described it sounds exactly the way it works pre update

unless they mean equip your smn skill then pop favor then swap around for same effect(buildup to cap of what your smn skill was prior to ja activation...)

spirits just need to be overhauled and shipped back to the manufacturer costing so much for silly parlor tricks...madness!


edit: or frod answered my question for me about favor?

Weird msg when people lvl up in abyssea.

A certain very high level job ability for dancer is not working as intended. Any notably high level dancer should be able to, if they haven't already, quickly spot the rather epic thing SE fucked up on said job ability that has made dancer very broken while using it.

No one say what it is though, lets see how long we can abuse it for before SE notices :D

Edit:

unless SE did this on purpose without notifying us, in which case, well, I don't even know what to say? Good job SE on somehow managing to give dnc yet another epic update without actually doing much. lol.

Double Edit: Yeah now that I look at it I'm pretty certain SE did this on purpose, the ability is entirely changed around, the effect is enhanced, the delay doubled.

So I guess I may as well say it since this looks... intentional @_@

Presto no longer shares a timer with steps, it is on its own timer of 30 seconds and dramatically boosts your next steps acc while adding a finishing move, basically letting you hit 5/5 finishes in 2 steps every time.

I'd estimate it at the strength of AF hands

Just like salvage dupes?

[Guitarman]

also getting weird level up messages. like they actually type it out in the log

also, my drains are 100% resisted without nether void. 30-82 drain 1's is not fun, especially when im 81 and leveling on fucking worms.

More like when they fucked up trick attack or sneak attack or whatever.

The items below usable with the puppetmaster ability "Repair" will now provide immediate HP restoration in addition to their existing Regen effect. Their purchase price will also be reduced.
Automaton Oil / Automaton Oil +1 / Automaton Oil +2
The ability delay for the dancer ability "Presto" has been changed to thirty seconds, and will no longer share its recast timer with Steps.
The dancer ability "Presto" will now also provide an accuracy bonus to the next Step used.
The amount of TP obtainable by the Job Trait "Occult Acumen" has been increased.

It was listed as part of the update details.

[Calessa]

You didn't even bother reading the update notes, did you Urat? These changes are listed.

[urat]

All I saw in the notes was the increased accuracy note, I never saw the separated timer part though...

*scratches head* Im rereading the BG version of the notes instead of what was on the page for in game and theres quite a few things I don't recall seeing at all being listed on there that you guys have, da fuck?

That was fun, me and a bud took turns SATAing each other for a good while giggling all the while.

Ya, we don't need to know when you're scratching your ass urat. Thanks though.

"An issue wherein the Monk ability "Perfect Counter" would sometimes fail to counter has been addressed. This counter, however, may still miss on occasion."
was in update notes.

Perle head was always that way wasn't it? just fixed description.

I know they said that smartass. Would you care to quote where it says I now get a message in my log?
Counter wiffs simply did not display in the log before this update, but they still happened. The only way you noticed was the dmg in your face and the Perfect Counter icon still being up or going down at that same time.

[Calessa]

Not sure if it's always been this way, but Presto doesn't wear off if the step misses now.

Due to it's previous duration and sharing a timer with steps it would have been irrelevant before anyway.

Stat increases are race related. Every Mithra I know got +3 DEX, every Elvaan +3 STR or +3 MND depending on job.

Racial stat differences have actually been converging since level 76. This is a welcome fix if just for the spirit of the game.

[grevenilvec75]

>_>

What the hell are you talking about.

There is far more to Abyssea than exp.

you must not play healer jobs

In case anyone was wondering, what I mean is abyssea sucks for healer jobs.

I observed +2 across the board at 80. Stats went up again at 81 though.
