I'd be happy to join when I get off work! You'll probably have already killed some, but maybe you can go again for me. :D

Seems Level ? Holy has a chance to fail, but it's doing more than my average Merit BP damage.

That's more or less what I was expecting. The damage is modified of course, but the BP has essentially the same randomness as it did in the "Distorter of Time" WotG battlefield:

The Wiki said:
Level ? Holy: 25' Area of Effect light damage centered around its target. The attack animation rolls a 6-sided die to determine its effect, dealing anywhere from 300 to 2000 damage. It is also possible for this move to have no effect whatsoever.

They put (M) and (A) tags in the home point warp menu, presumably for MH and AH. I like it. :]

Edit: (E) for entrance/exit as well. :o

I didn't see it anywhere in the update notes, but they increased the level of mobs in some of the zones. Usually went to Woh gates to -ra burn the worms on Geomancer... they are level 125 now.

I was killing 3 at once and noticed my nukes were doing nowhere near what they use to do. I had to run because I ran myself out of mp before any of them went down lol. The level increase made them very magic resistant.

Oh my.. I'll have to re-read the notes on that. I'm not sure why SE targeted those zones in particular for mob level adjustments. Any ideas?

So they're better balanced for Exp/JP parties. Those zones don't have party penalty for JP. They're trying to keep people in parties in the "dungeons" and not out wiping out everything in the field areas. Solo players can go outside.

Can't say too much atm, but its damage ranged from 3-10k.

I wasn't paying much attention to the dice either lol

At least COR got a 119 dagger besides Vanir for job's higher skilled melee weapon. But yeah, it's a little odd that COR was on dagger and sword for original delve weapons and now it's dagger onry.

:o Brixymanthra.. I knew I've seen you before. I've watched your SCH vs TT video many times. But thanks for the screenshot. I wonder if 340 CP's is a lot or not.

Regen Potency, a refresh / regen wand that doesn't have Dmaga Taken +10% is rubbish?...... ok.

Well overall I'd say this update is above middle of the road, but below incredible. Some new gear options, seemingly great and easyish to get weapon options, and like 4 jobs got some new points to grind for. 7/10 or so

I do believe from the taru up in Ru'lude, though I could be mistaken.

If that little bit of nothing gets you excited, there's not much I can say. The stronger barspells are nice but not fantastic. For idle, we already have Terra+Oneiros Grip, or just offhand a Genbu's Shield. I said it in a topic a while back, but we needed a better healing weapon, something with healing power stats on top of potency.
