2.16 ninja patch to T5 Phase 2 tanking?

[Ooshima]

Just heard from my FC mates the trick of MT walking into conflags to avoid plummet has been ninja patched => if your MT do so, Twintania will attack the 2nd on enmity list

Anyone not T5 cleared this week wanna try and confirm?

[chococo]

Heard the same thing also.

[Thorauku]

Confirmed.

Not much of an issue anyway.

[Ooshima]

True, just treat it as Phase 4 DS.

The only problem I can see is that when 2 healers got conflagged. Nevertheless, it won't impose a real threat.

Just let the second healer eat his fireball, than that's no issue

Nope. The trick of avoiding plummet and DS won't work now cos Twinny will target the 2nd hate.

Plus it is also reported that if your MT enters conflag, he lose ALL hate! D:

Other than that: Conflags have less HP, Snakes have Less HP.

Good thing my group stopped going into the conflag already before this change

The conflag thing wasn't much of an issue though, since the DS hits harder during DK/twister phase, if healers can handle them they should be able to do the same for conflags.

The surprising thing is they nerfed conflags and snakes prior to 2.2. I think no one expected any mechanism nerfs even for 2.2 since the live letter only mention about echo buffs.
