[dev1115] Job Adjustments: Red Mage

[cidbahamut]

Paralyze: Attack Down, Accuracy Down and random chance of preventing an action. Attack down effect stacks with Bio, Accuracy Down effect stacks with Blind. NM's are immune to the chance of preventing an action.

Silence: Magic Attack Down, Magic Accuracy Down and prevents the use of magic for duration of effect. NM's are immune to the "prevents use of magic".

No.

Immunities need to be removed in all instances. Giving NMs an automatic pass on being affected by enfeebles(or parts of an enfeeble in your example) is a significant part of what got us into this hole in the first place. Put down the shovel and stop digging.

Sorry, but there's a reason other MMOs make bosses immune to effects that shut down normal mobs. This is a case of SE trying to go against the grain and RDM paying the price for it.

Traditionally enfeebles are absolutes: Slow = Slow; Paralyze can negate any action, Silence prohibits any Spells, Amnesia (non-accessible) prohibits abilities... the reason why our enfeebles aren't of any significant use is not because they are weak enfeebles, but rather because making an NM difficult requires it to not be so easily inhibited.

Our enfeebles should have a variation to them: if they are easy to stick, they should be hard to proc, if they are easy to proc, they should be hard to stick. Not every spell should work the same way Dia (and Bio) does....

That's ironic you said this because almost all the mobs that have these immunities can be stun locked in some way or another. If seen from outside the box buffs from brd/cor stack and don't resist. RDM is a job that's supposed to help the team by making the monster weaker. Buffs do the same but ,are considered more useful because they don't resist on the party. THe rolls can be bad with an inexperienced player but still potent. It's simple logic, they always make the enemy easier by making the team stronger.

What does RDM have? Spells and abilities that aren't as benefiting the team at the same level. Why?, because they can't stick big stuff so their not nearly as useful. Back when chainspell stun was the rage a lvl mnk75/drk37 could stick it like a lvl drk75/war37. Likewise flash also stuck as mnk75/pld37. Here comes a RDM that's well geared and they couldn't even chainspell native spells with the same effect potency as subjob spell with lower skill. About the only thing that would stick was dias.

On a final note for mobs that need procs, If a mob is weak to it should automatically have 100% accuracy. Potency and duration would still be restricted if skill was low.

It's not ironic "that I said it."

It's stupid because that's how SE did it.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Except SE has shown they can subvert that even if they do land by giving monsters unnamed AoE TP moves that require no TP to use.

In the case of a mob having a immunity to a spell which base element there weak too is the real issue. Example: A mob that's wind base and weak to Ice shouldn't have a immunity to Ice base spells like paralyze. That's just doesn't make sense.
