Perfect defense / embrava unbalance

*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).

worst part of it

Yes, the fact we don't get a few extra TP every few seconds is terrible compared to the fact the ability lost nearly 3/4ths of its duration and the ability to function in any event as more than a midfight zerg buff.

mages potentially get more mp from empyrean WS's with regain than they would with refresh which only benfits mages. with regain melee and mages benefit

And thus, this is a nerf. The duration of the effect is much more devastating than the loss of a few bits of TP when you take into account in most cases your using Embrava the Regain was not all to important anyways, admittedly it may have made the difference between say, a 5 hit build or a 6 hit build, but at the same time, the Haste & Regain being toned down is understandable, those are its effects & hurt it enough, removing a ton of its duration just makes it worthless because its either a somewhat short zerg, or its worthless to use.

Last time I cancelled my content ID was in february. The forums let me keep posting until august, when some billing change suddenly made the forums realize that I shouldn't be having access anymore.

regaian was the best part of this ability like i said regain benefits both mages and melee, melee get to spam Ws and mages if MP is needed can get them back from various WS without having to be in range

Haste was the best part, Regain helped. But the nerf that killed it was the one to duration, not the one to potency. If it had the same duration without Regain, it would still be awesome, because it would free up two bard songs, and would only need to be applied twice to fulltime for 30 minutes (which is the duration of most relevant events).

I think as long as you don't lose your login cookie you can continue posting here even after your account has been shut off.

People care about embra and PD nerf yes. Hence the thread. The whole point was to warn SE that nerfing PD means the event is no longer doable, and not surprisingly, ADL/legion are no longer doable or at least not with the same winrate. Inbefore QQ IcankillegionwithoutPD and IcallkillADLwithoutPD. I mean at least they did nerf legion mobs's HP right ?

Also, people care because 8500 views

Here is an example of why embrava broke the game ; ADL is not killable without perfect defense, we have yet to see a reported kill, even with a complete alliance of 18.


Here is a video showing why perfect defense is so unbalanced, as a mob that can't be killed with 18 suddenly becomes a joke with 3.

Also am i the only one who finds it funny that Pimpchans says "here is why embrava is broken" and than goes on to talk about perfect defense?

Edit: the 8000+ views are because they care about PD and Embrava not because they give 1 flying **** about your stupid sig.
