RED Is NOT Getting Amnesia! Spell

This thread made every part of me from my eyes to toenails bleed.

..................Two things.

1: No one knows what addle will be. For you to say it won't be amnesia and exspect people to treat your word as a fact is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

2: Calm down... so you disagree with the general player outlook on what a spell will be. That is no reason for you to get pissed off. Just say your opinion wait for the update then laugh when you are proved correct and if your not just be humble.

One with no life too. I even checked his profile on here and he clearly has way more time invested into ffxi then i do and i've been playing since PS2 release.

But hey we're on the internet and the internet is for porn... i know this cuz i heard a song about it... thus making it true

/sasses

as to whether or not Addle will be amnesia or not, noone knows and its all speculation, but your reasoning makes no sense as to why SE couldnt add this into the game. (for most of the reasons others have pointed out in prev. post)

my biggest problem with what you have said is that break will not be game changing... really... really O.o. it may not be.. but i find that hard to believe.


granted SE will prolly make most of the things that we really would like to use it on immune to it. lets think if they didnt tho. by the time all the lvl ups are done blm/sch could POSSIBLY use ES/manifestation/kilaform(assuming same day,etc.etc.) break on <t>. normal manifest. spells last 60 secs+ if im not mistaken and kilaform boost m.acc. if you COULD get this to land on mobs that zergs work on then you are looking at the new zerg method. stack this with PD from alexander and your looking at a cake walk zerg.

obviously everything that goes along with break is, to put lightly, speculation. but like i said IF SE doesnt make HNM's immune to this it will be one of the most game breaking additions ever imo. we wont know till it comes out and is tested but isnt it fun to wish :).

as to break and addle, SE will let us have fun wishing/hoping/speculating but they will prolly just make them both very epensive play toys on low lvl mobs. /sigh

People keep mentioning Manifestation+Break. Do you REALLY think SE is gonna let us do that? most likely it'll be one of the spells that are unusable with Manifestation. Also, I think Charm is a lot more like Confuse than Amnesia is, though Charm for RDM is...

A little late to this party and I'm not trying to argue whether or not they're adding whatever spell to the game, I want to show you that it is a ridiculous thought that they couldn't add an ability because of how it would conflict with the code.

For example, you may have a Basic Monster class with all the normal things that any mob in FFXI can perform. Among other types of enemies, NMs will be one child of that class, they are the same as the basic Monster class, except they have a new rule or two, such as /checking as impossible to gauge.

Different subcategories may go on and such for different types of NMs and different types of monsters, however to change all of the children of a class, all you need to do is alter the parent. For example, you can have a boolean (true or false) variable that says AmnesiaImmune = True. Now all the children of this class (every NM who inherits it's traits from the NM parent class) will be immune to Amnesia (Assuming that is how the check is done in their code).

If their code is even half competent, it's structured in a way to make changes incredibly easy. If it's the worst code ever, it'd just take an all nighter from one coder.

Especially on colibri. But really most rdms seem to be more accurate with there spells than most brds... and rdm can afford to /blm...

Charm could be epic on some mobs lol even if you needed ES

I beg to differ!

Probably been posted before, but I thought I'd just toss this in here

lol I love /b/. Yeah, Addle is likely Amnesia.

And the Darwin Award goes to the OP...

lol this will soon become game for some copy pasta

FIXED

I'm kinda glad this got bumped XD

A friend of mine in my LS came up with an interesting idea about Addle (which could tie in nicely with the new SCH spells).

With the 2 new SCH spells that were released focusing on Enmity gain/loss, it's possible they gave RDM something also to work alongside them.

so rdm can hate reset a mob any point of a period of time with no control over what its attacking?

Sounds pretty much the opposite of what you want it to do. Sounds pretty fun for claiming tiamat though.

Addle won't be amnesia, it'll be confuse. It will proc like paralyze, but instead, the mob will hit itself.

Depends, if hate had already hit the fan (say a mob used a hate reset move and wiped all your tanks hate), then making it randomly attack whoever and reset everyones hate at the end wouldn't be that bad.

Would be able to work quite well with the SCH spells to control hate (after the initial beating everyone to death >_>;)

I think it could work well if it had a short duration (20~30s maybe?) and people were ready for a RDM popping it off so they knew there was no hope of hate being normal XD

RED did NOT getting amnesia! spell

Lol @ the OP getting a -23 rating and he was actually correct.

his wild speculation was correct. his logic and grammar were atrocious

addle: lowers an enemys magic accuracy and increases its spellcasting time. good against mage users that cant be silenced i suppose. besides that its crap im dissapointed tbh lol

We still have 14 levels left. His logic is still flawed.

Assuming you can land this on mage users that can't be silenced :)

His theory on why they wouldn't was daft, it would not take them ages to add mobs to be resistant.

Only have to look at Break for BLM to see that, they just apparently don't like giving RDM useful Enfeebling Spells. Would rather give them to BLM.
