Bully: it's really bad.

[Vold]

How is it only soloing if the potency is increased with more ppl?

I was never complaining about this change. Any positive change is good anyway. It's simply not "OMG WOOT FINALLY SOME LOVE!". The dps change with this will be minimal. I'd much rather have a higher performance while still locked with positioning restrictions (making sa/ta epeen more) or have 100% performance all the time (making sa/ta always hit).

I agree but still, THF spike damage is it's bread and butter. It's just a little bit better than a minimal adjustment but sure, in the grand scheme of things it's not really improving group oriented activities. Any group that knows wth they're doing doesn't give their thieves any problems with their SATA business.

It is a huge adjustment for the THF tank, though. Our WS damage suffers greatly when not stacked with SA. For someone like me for example who typically runs to a spot somewhere to farm something and will spend extended periods doing so, this change will make life considerably easier over time. It's not sliced bread 2.0 but with the addition of it it could lead to sliced bread 2.0 eventually and that's far more important than the actual SA adjustment for Bully(assuming true), SE finally giving in to the fact that Bully was extremely lack luster for the THF job. We already have 2 support dagger jobs. Let THF stay the DD of the bunch and not turn it into another support deal.

Morning! Sorry to make you all wait at the edges of your seats for what has been posted about Bully. Hope you all had a good labor day weekend.

Last week we added an effect to Bully that would make it easier to increase the effect of Treasure Hunter.

Based on feedback we received about this, we decided to go a different route and add an effect we felt would make you all a bit happier.

The changes to the effects are described below:

•Bully (THF lvl.93 Recast time: 3 minutes Effect Duration: 30 seconds)
Intimidates target
While under its effect: Possible to use Sneak Attack when not behind an enemy.

It makes me so happy you're glad I don't know where you live.

Because i would go there and hug you, and never stop, at first it would be nice, then it would get kinda awkward. But I still wouldn't let go.

Edit: Also my weekend was fantastic. I sat at home and did nothing. Just like i planned
Edit2: I feel a restraining order coming on.

Wow, awesome! Congrats Thf, you finally got something you've been asking for.

I am moved to cry twin waterfalls T_T. I imagine a bunch of people in the different THF AFs hugging each other like the end of a war or something. Its almost like .... the test server is serving a function!

though obligatory dont let your guard down for them doing something terrible soon, we dont have luck like this hahahaaaaabloobloobloobloo

[Absolutezero]

Awesome, here's to more rudra's. Might even merit sa now...

Why does it sound like some people think that Bully is giving us an additional critical attack every 3 minutes? You guys do realize that it allows us to use Sneak Attack from any direction so we are still under that 50 second - 1 minute constraint.. I just see some posts that indicate we get an extra critical every 3 minutes but that's not the case. Just means that every 3rd SA, we don't have to run behind the mob to perform it. A welcomed change nonetheless.

This is awesome. Here is a picture of a dog in a bumblebee costume as an inscrutable token of my inscrutable thanks.

so a SA-hide effect even if you have enimity on the target. ok. not too impressing.
