Alright, I figured out why you're a troll.

You're proving a point which I agree with man. Everyone just wants to be spoon fed and lower the game to "Easy-Mode"

Cmon' I figured it out, and I /salute you for trolling this way.

This game is already on easy mode.

Some people here want this to be Baby mode

Mob casts petrify: Players cannot move or act and can be beaten to within an inch of their life and there is little they can do about it until the effect wears off.

I cast Break: If I blink wrong the effect has worn off and the mob recovers. This is more than annoying, it's dumb. This means Break doesnt last as long as sleep, doesnt pull off as quickly as stun (which I sometimes use it for when solo'ing) and is generally broken (for players at least). Why would Square completely ruin the spell for players? Even if it gave you free reign to beat the mob for 10 seconds, thats at least somewhat helpful. The way it is now feels kind of useless. How about if they un-nerf Break and make it more like Petrify?

This I can get behind.

My initial idea of break was it would petrify for a minute or so, but the mob would get like a 95% damage reduction, if not outright immune.

The only problem I have with that is the fact that when a player is petrified they recieve no such benefit. I understand that mobs get spells that are 'tweeked', but Break cast by a player and Break cast by a mob are completely different spells. What they should do is give it a bit lower of a success rate (mabye, I dont think I have ever resisted a Breakga or had it not take effect) and a shorter window of effect, but give it THE SAME effect. The mob should not be able to move, act or respond in any way and we should get time to beat down on it. Heck, even 5 seconds is enough to give a player/party an advantage, if well placed, but wont win the fight.

Atma of the Horned Beast = Resist Petrify : sup and it reduces the chance to get petrified ALOT

so [To the poster] The devs have already nerfed petrify if ya get that atma.

PS not all soloers have ur problem i can use titan who is immue to it when/if i solo

if player break couldn't be broken. u could just keep every mob petrified. and this makes the game a lot easier / boring as it is since abyssea anyway.

Titan is not immune, just have a very very very high resist. Like 95% resist rate.

Garuda too, she has a very high resist rate. 95% too.

But you need to take into effect that some "Break" TP moves aren't earth based either. Level 5 Petrify is dark based, but its 100% accurate to anything that has a 0 or 5 on the end of its level. Not even Resist Petrify is immune to it. Titan and Garuda both become petrified (although they get out of it a lot quicker than anyone) with that ability.
