Good Time all come to an end.

Just thought you guys should know.

*Tabula Rasa
The effects of the white magic "Embrava" will be adjusted as follows:
**Duration: Reduced from 5 minutes to 90 seconds.
**Haste Effect: Reduced to 15% + 1% for each 20 enhancing skill. Maximum of +25% at 500 enhancing skill.
**Regain Effect: Changed to Refresh effect (the #/tick is the same as before, based on skill).

Since utilizing the above abilities has become mainstream in order to progress through certain battle content, we have planned to lower the difficulty of that content in accordance with this update.

*Nyzul Isle
**The required number of astraria to replace with the next higher floor equipment will be reduced from 25 to 5. The number in possession will be divided by 5 and rounded down. The premise that floor 100 will only be reached through a combination of great skill and luck does not change. Since the reliance on the effect of Embrava will be reduced, we will relieve this by reducing the number of required astraria for floors below.

*Legion
**Monster HP will be reduced by approximately 10%. All monsters will be included in this change. Since the progress as a whole will be faster but the support effects will be suppressed, we will maintain the 30 minute time limit, or keep it close.

*Einherjar
**Odin's HP (Odin's Chamber II) will be reduced by approximately 10~15%. Since the battle with Odin is more than with just the monster itself, Legion is slightly different, so we will reduce Odin's HP by slightly more.

lol, the only thing sch has left is stun which was indirectly nerfed by this.

Flexibility, but thats something you dont seem to be aware of.
Dont get me wrong, Embrava was really nice. I dont feel screwed as a SCH over the nerf, but I feel screwed about the so said "adjustments" they are doing to Legion, ADL, Odin etc. Which really arent any adjustments at all.

Granted the nerf went a bit overboard. I would have rather had a nerf in potency of Haste regain and regen then the duration cut down. But hey they went with nerfing potency and nerfing duration. 2 nerfs for the price of 1!

They pretty much destroyed one of the best two hours into a rather useless two hours.

[Siiri]

It was a bit overboard. They could have done with nerfing length, and potency of regain like they did potency of haste. Did they not notice how over powered this was to start with? If it had been nerfed within a couple weeks it wouldn't have caused this much a stir.

I know, it's like they are doing mostly nothing in the past 2 years, and actually created many great contents and activities that are fun, worth raving about and doable by all. Then suddenly everything take turn for the worst and all you see is bad news after another, an avalanche of nerfs to almost everything that was good and fun. It's quite a disappointment when you see the amount of bad news they have been delivering this past week alone, not to mention a long list of broken promises from their 2012 plans.

Embrava is not only useful for endgame events, but as well as your normal alliance party in abyssea when you cannot find a healer. It lets scholar do some impossible feat, aka soloing Shinryu, and let us do small group activities when doing old contents. I feel like they are not quite bright over there and not really seeing the bigger picture.

I think regain was important to have and should've matched potency nerf with Haste, instead of giving us refresh. No one has had MP problems in years. Other than that, this nerf is fine because SCH still has so much to bring to the table.

[Mirage]

The regain effect should definitely still be in place. With the current short duration of the buff, it would be fine to give embrava haste, regen, refresh and regain at the same potencies. However, I think it would be better if the duration was at a base of 2.5 minutes, with both regain and refresh, although perhaps 1-2 per tick less than before.

Well, that's all the motivation I need to finally cancel my subscription.
