Bully: it's really bad.

I only just came home, so no chance to test yet. Honestly, I knew it would suck from the moment it was announced. However, we finally get a decent claim tool, which I didn't consider before. That alone kinda makes it worth it.

I don't know if I would say worth it lol. Maybe more like a turd with a silver lining?

Yeah, I think everyone expected this ability to be stupid.

But the whole "no DW3 at 95" is upsetting. I suppose it's still possible we'll get it 95-99, but I'm not optomisitc.

Its like they have a "THF Fail Ability" button they keep mashing update after update after update.

Still needs to be tested in a party setting but I'm not holding my breath on it being good enough to make it on to my home macro page. I'm sure on anything like T3/4 VWNMs even with a full party there's like a 2% chance of it procing.

Even if it was, a 30 second duration with a 5 minute recast is retarded. But retarded is the baseline that SE operates on when it comes to THF job abilities.

Retarded functionality, retarded (positional or current enmity target) restrictions, retarded effect durations to go with retardedly long (and shared) recast timers. (Did you check to see if your conspirator/steal/accomplice timer reset?)

This hasn't changed in the better part of a decade....it isn't going to happen now.

I may have missed it in skimming. Does it share a timer?

[Insaniac]

No it does not.

[FrankReynolds]

Lets start a thief ally and see what happens if people rotate and keep it up full time. :P

Meh, I wanted to tail tank Hazhdiha and see how many procs I'd get, but it seems no freepop NMs are up. Didn't see ??? for Dragua either. Probably needs dominion fame build up :-/ I'll try to think of something else that could Hundred Fists me.
Got 1 proc on Manigordos (abyssea tiger) and had to log for now.
God, I'd compare this effect to weak Paralyze - you're lucky if it procs once before wearing off. In before SE says it's awesome, because no monster can resist the effect...

[Insaniac]

meh...

btw can you get to 95 on the test server? would you be able to test for moar DW and crit attack bonus?

Just confirmed Crit Attack Bonus III at level 91. It's another 3%.

[Laphine]

yay \o/ finally good news, we are sure to get another by 99 then~
