[dev1058] RDM Merit 2 Hour

[Lilia]

Come on SE, give the 2h undispeleffect like embrave

for what is that 2h good when you can dispel the buffs easy?

PLEEEEEEASE

Dahak and every buff wore off.

Interestingly 2-hour does absolutely nothing to the Gain spells, going to go and check Stoneskin now.

Stoneskin seems to absorb more damage, not sure how much though as I said no one I know is on the Test Server so had to use Sabotender. I'd say at least 500.

Seriously, with each passing day it is getting harder and harder to have faith in my RDM, its no wonder I have been doing Excalibur for about 6 months and cant find the will to just finish the thing already. Thank you for testing it though, I wonder what effect it will have on Stoneskin, might not be any thanks to Stoneskin having its own gear to assist it.

It seemed from 1000 needles to be at least ~500 - Enspells I at 420 skill was 39, with Barspells 195.

took 443 with no gear and only Stoneskin ad Phalanx II (to negate normal physical hits)

Incredibly disappointing.

This would make a better 1 minute duration, 2 minute recast JA, but in pinch situations, I'd probably still choose Chainspell over this tripe.

Whoa, whoa, this is going to make me sound kinda silly but...Embrava effects can't be dispelled!? Wow, that's even more broken then I thought.

You know I think the other jobs would like awesome 2 hours too. Considering how much balance is strived for, don't you think it's a little unbalanced for SMN to have two good 2 hours now when some jobs don't have one?

SE, please allow RDM's new 2 hour to double potency, allow self target buffs to be AoE, and buffs cast under it's effects be undispellable. Before SE says this is overpowered, I feel like I should remind them of their description of RDM:

"Vision
Support specialists who excel at transforming their allies from mere mortals into demigods with their enhancements, while rendering once-formidable enemies impotent with enfeebling magic."

Yep, can't dispel Embrava, can't erase Kaustra. They are sticking to you like it or not. Which yeah, makes it unbalanced, I remember when fighting Proto-Ultima his buffwipe would annoy the hell out of me, but Embrava zerging him was simple, just ignore it, short terror between spams with you still regaining as you wait.

Personally I think all 2h's should not be dispelled, or amnesia-ed.

I agree, but that is why its unbalanced, because the others can be. Honestly when using a 2-hour you shouldn't be terrored, stunned, amnesiaed, or silenced(basically nothing should stop it) oh and using them they shouldn't be able to be paralyzed, thats just annoying. In either case the reason I say its unbalanced is because it is 1 of the few 2-hours which cant be taken away by means other than death. Anything else can basically be taken away by Amnesia or Silence, Terror & Stun are really short time but they still take it down, and most last much less than the 5~12.5 Minutes that Embrava lasts so those seconds can really count.

Well the sch can be silenced, slept, stun-ed, terror-ed, amnesia-ed, or killed in an attempt to use the stratagems and the spells. And can't Tabula Rasa be dispelled?

I also think that 2h's should break silence, amnesia, or paralyze.
