[To the Devs] Nerf petrify for the sake of solo players or just called it "Death"

[Korpg]

Actually, why are there two types of Petrify?

The player version is just basically a "Earth-based" Sleep.

The mob version is just basically a "Earth-based" Terror.

Have one or the other, not both.

I'd agree with this if having the "Earth-based" Terror wouldn't be so damn overpowering on the player's side.

They screwed up bind a long time ago as well. I used to have fun with that on rdm and blm. *get hate* > *bind the mob in place* > *let the melee's beat the hell out of it till it's off you* Now petri and bind are cookie cutter versions of each other with the first lasting longer than the second.

Kinda curious did hordecore get banned for a while or something? It's been a while since he's spammed his two random thoughts for the day.

[Eeek]

Not quite right, but close. I favor Break when I don't want a mob casting on me (Silence won't land, just wore, or I haven't cast it yet) or plinking me with ranged attacks. Otherwise, yeah, I tend to use Break much like Bind.

True true, sorry I overlooked that aspect. I just miss the days of binding a sleeping mob then nuking the piss out of him before it wore off. I quit blm years ago, came back during the abyssea add ons. I noticed the gimp to bind, got my hopes up for break, then got disappointed again when I saw it wore off in a similar fashion.

I think all of us mages were disappointed when Break didn't work like the Petrify that mobs get to use.
