[dev1107] Sange Update - Why?

and for that one instance where "Throwing" is useful you remember Dark Ixion right?

Because the damage dealt by the thrown Stygian Ash didn't matter, pretty much anyone on any job using something to aid with accuracy worked. During that dark and miserable time when I was fighting Dark Ixion every day, I remember some dude playing two Preludes on himself and claiming the awful thing with his Bard.

Certain jobs worked better, Ranger rather than Ninja probably worked best, but this answer is obviously out of the Ninja-related context of Wish's question. Claiming Dark Ixion was more of a Ranged Accuracy check than a Throwing Check, unless an individual had never skilled Throwing up at all.

This is one step above saying that throwing matters because it's a great way to make a monster suprisingly mad from a very long distance, when it doesn't even matter if the attack lands or not.

While we're giving clever answers, spooking Dark Ixion required no Throwing Skill or Ranged Accuracy whatsoever, and doing that to spite another group was usually more fun than fighting the thing.

Sorry. English probably isn't your first language so I guess my weird sarcasm doesn't make a lot of sense. I'll explain.

The last paragraph refers to simply walking up to Dark Ixion, prompting the monster to run away and vanish, meaning that no one gets to fight it for a little while. A useful tactic when you wanted no one to fight Dark Ixion for a little while because it's funnier that way.

This is an entirely separate process from claiming Dark Ixion and fighting it, the process to which every paragraph above the last referred. To be very brief, the last paragraph was a joke and "spook" can mean to frighten a horse.

Does that make more sense?
