NIN and SAM SJ abilities nerfed!

[LawDawg]

just for those servers who have not had maintaince yet, just to let you know, Utsusumi when used as a NIN subjob is not the same as before:

1-2 shadows for ichi
2-3 shadows for ni

the same is the case when using Meditate as SAM SJ:
60% tp in 3 minutes

(the normal is 100%tp in 3 minutes)

Heh, can anyone confirm this? I want to poke some fun at my LS mate. =)

SAM SUB has always been like that... Also Ichi and Ni were always nerfed weren't they?

[Tidane]

Yes, there was always 1 less shadow than the normal.

[Kastel]

My Utsusemi Ichi still blocks 3. However Ni as sub blocked only 3 instead of 4.

Samurai has always been 60% TP recover with meditate

[LawDawg]

yeah, the SAM sub was always like that, sorry. But for those who are not in the servers that have been updated:

From 5/16/2004 19:00 to 20:00 (PDT)
World: Bahamut, Shiva, Titan
*Maintenance was completed according to schedule

From 5/17/2004 19:00 to 20:00 (PDT)
World: Ramuh, Phoenix, Carbuncle
*Maintenance was completed according to schedule

then you won't see a difference. a level 75 war/nin in my LS said he almost died becuase of this ... of course, if someone from these servers can verify, I will like to know if this is 100% true or not.

Before this "patch", Ni /sub has always been 3...

[LawDawg]

hm, maybe I should rephrase. POST-patch (aka if you are in one of the 6 servers mentioned above), then I "heard" that utsusumi as a sub works like this:

Ichi - 1 OR 2 shadows (it could be either, its random!)
Ni - 2 OR 3 shadows (it could be either, its random too!)

Of course, I don't have a nin sub high enough to test myself, but as I said, a level 75 WAR/NIN in my LS said he almost died cause of this. I still am wondering if anyone can confirm if this is indeed the case.

:confused:

[InuTrunks]

I can confirm in about 4 hours due to the patch that went on Fenrir last night (about to goto class).

Caio~

[Peppara]

This better not be true, I didnt notice any difference in one of my PTs last night. I didn't notice the NIN casting more than usual. Can anybody confirm this or point a link to an official update letter or something? This is terrible news if its true; NIN will have lost way to much to be a worthwhile job if utsusemi:ichi only blocks 1 or 2 attacks randomly that would essentially take away blink tanking which wouldnt be bad if they added in like throwing WS or something.

[vudoodoodoo]

I still get 3 shadows w/ Utsusemi: Ichi when subbing Ninja. :confused:

[Balgas]

Hmmm, if this is true this really sucks. I don't want to have to buy more powders than I'm already buying. >_<

Not to mention that Thieves already suck at soloing so this will just make it harder X_x

[InuTrunks]

What server are you on?

[Sabastion]

WTF? I already stoped my drg at 38 cause of the tp nerf and decided to go thf/nin then later war/nin if they nerf this to i'm done.

[InuTrunks]

Why shouldn't it be nerfed? I for one call that Ichi as a subbed skill should only do 1 or 2, and Ni should only do 2. Everything else gets halved, so why not ninja's spells? I mean, you arn't a full ninja!
