Thoughts? I personally like the Recast reductions on all of these. Liement now means you really need to be on your toes to use it well. Though I'm sad to see no sort of aid to reduce physical damage taken so we're not made of paper.

Liement recast is a pleasant surprise. The rest we already knew about, but it's all good. Positive updates.

And was that a pic of AF armour under the heading "new items"?

Edit: having spoken with Octavien whilst on RUN99, I guess not.

No AF in this update.

I dont know about liement ward ten seconds may not work but let me not pre judge, If it does not wipe out the other wards then it might work, I hope this change will work out for run.

But SE did listen to us and our discussions/testings in these theads and they have made much needed adjustment and I applaud them for that its a very good start.

I love the new adjustments, just the same complaint comes back to me; we can't take physical hits and have no way to mitigate damage. PLD has Cures, Shield, and heavy armor, NIN has evasion, and shadows, RUN doesn't exactly have anything to mitigate physical damage, their parrying and evasion isn't enough. :(

After playing around a bit, trying easier stuff, tested on Qoofim who has a Water added effect, Each Rune now give 54 resist. With current Enhancing skill, at 3x Rune with Bar- spell, I get 249 resist, I'd expect this to nullify Qoofim's added effect to 0, but it doesn't. In fact with Vallation up, I was getting between 5 and 10, which isn't bad, but this is Qoofim, too weak, imagine trying to tank something end-game, you'd be obliterated just as you would before.

It's a step in the right direction, but it still isn't enough.

I dont know how to feel about liement ward, 10 seconds duration is just not long enough and it still wipes away vallation and valiance, I wish the duration was adleast 20 seconds.

I tried Liement, too. Useless, wore off before he hit me again. You'd have to time Liement while you're doing other things to try and stay alive. They messed up Liement, was better the way it was before.

10 Seconds is plenty long enough if a monster is casting anything worthy of being absorbed. The wiping of other wards kinda sucks though.

Otherwise, pairing this with a magic def atma in abyssea should make you near invincible to some of the more elemental zone NMs. 300 elemental resist for wyrms anyone?
