Let's compile a list of all the uses for Ole Ilm Punch.

Forgive my mistype, "One Ilm Punch"

Uses I can think of so far:
1) Removing damage buff from easy trash mobs.
2) Lowing your DPS with a high TP, no positional single target skill

Help me list all the many other uses for this amazing, class-defining skill. Go!

I guess PVP?

It works there, right?

It works... you get to remove Protect, which does nothing, Stoneskin, which is awful, Medica II, which ticks for nothing and B4B, so your teammates do less damage.


It's still complete shite. The odds of removing something useful is low. And before anyone dares mentioning PB, even Arm of the Destroyer works better with casters and healers being the best pvp classes by far.

You just stay on the casters and keep stripping buffs. I've managed to rip off Aetherflow Stacks a number of times. It's quite funny and entertaining when they're fresh too. You say Medica II ticks for nothing, but you don't know if that Medica II was Divine Sealed or not. You could be removing the enhanced version which is a big problem in PVP.

if anyone remembers the ff13 event, the fate monster casted stone skin on itself with crazy amnts of % of free hp, one ilm saved the day! (only useful case) and yeah monk rage!!!! woooo

Summoners used to create these threads about Tri-Disaster. Then Square renamed the ability and Summoners stopped complaining. One-Yalm-Punch, please look forward to it.

It's ok, every class has their useless pve ability.
BLM has
Freeze
Blizzard II
Thunder I
Thunder II
Thunder III
Scathe
Surecast

Remove stone skin from FATE bosses.

If I remember...there is a hunt in Sagolii Desert area which you can remove its fire spikes thing. Quite useful as they tend to hurt (At 50).
