Warning: Stay off Ob's lawn...

[Zemarin]

Why change this.. don't fight it in Valor Edge mode then, The end. There's really no need to Fix that cannibal blade at all. Why does SE have to FIX that when you can fix it yourself, ob will never pop in Valoredge without a pup, and on top of that ppl are smart.. write it on wiki the end?

It is certainly avoidable, so it shouldn't be top priority or anything - but if it is not working as intended, it should be addressed. What if it was learned that Cooldown was accidentally adding burden/overdrive instead of removing it? Would the fact that we can avoid needing it through careful use of Maneuvers excuse the need to correct it? An imperfect analogy, but it is functional.

While myself and another did report it as a bug, the purpose of this thread was just a warning to the unfamiliar - if you are not concerned about it, go ahead and disregard.

It definitely does not seem normal, nor intended. I don't know why anyone would actually be against it getting 'fixed'. Why not change it since it's likely non-intended? I don't think there ever was a point in this discussion that was about whether it should be changed, as if it was an intended feature.

As Annahya said, this is not to make a change happen, but to let people know.

Is Ob still chugging brews, or was it fixed yet?

Honestly, I have not been back yet. All I need from him now is a Disruptor, and some other projects have come to the fore.

I would be interested to know, as well, if others have noticed any changes.

This is a good thing in my opinion. Shadow tanking it makes his Cannibal Blade no threat to you (I've never been hit with it while shadows were up and I've never seen it miss with them down). The reason I say it's a good thing is because it gives you more opportunities to proc TH. Tank with a PUP/NIN, feed Ob TP, Ventriloquy to your Automaton when Ob is at low HP. Repeat until bored or TH is maxed.

Apparently, Ob is still doing the most devastating attack in the game... strips my last shadow, and as I'm recasting, BAM Cannibal Blade... 21000 damage...

Fixed today apparently yay

It was one of the things they listed as "Resolved Issues" as follows:

• An issue wherein the Zeni Notorious Monster Ob's ability "Cannibal Blade" inflicted excessive amounts of damage.

[Kristal]

Yep, noticed the fixed issue as well. Shame I only need a Galvanizer now, since I got a Disruptor just the day before. (Almost crapped my pants when Ob's double-attack let him strip BOTH my 2 remaining shadows, but thankfully no WS followed before Ni landed.)
