[dev1086] Diabolic Eye turned into self-KO move

[Edyth]

Diabolic Eye

• Recast time will be reduced from fifteen minutes to ten.
• Additional merit points will no longer reduce recast time, but instead reduce maximum HP by an additional 20% per point.

I'm sure we've gotten a mistranslation here. Or maybe not.

Default HP reduction reduction is 15%.
2 merits: 35% Max HP reduction
3 merits: 55% Max HP reduction
Four merits: 75% Max HP reduction
Five merits: 95% Max HP reduction
Okay, almost self-KO, assuming the first merit is still only 15%.

Anyway, so I'm guessing it's supposed to reduce the HP reduction by 20% per merit. So if this is the case, and the first merit is still a 15% reduction, the results would be as follows:
1 merit: 15% HP reduction
2 merits: 12% HP reduction
3 merits: 9% HP reduction
4 merits: 6% HP reduction
5 merits: 3% HP reduction

Is this correct? Can we receive a fixed translation and clarification?

Finally, my feedback on this: I have 3 merits in Diabolic Eye. I don't mind the HP reduction much, especially in Abyssea with cruor buffs and atma. Increasing the accuracy effect would be preferred. Also, this update is going to increase recast time for anyone with 4-5 merits in the ability, and I don't think that's fair. The ability is not overpowered at all, and a 5-minute recast would be more BALANCED.
