So are you all excited for the Eiffel 65 concert coming up soon?

In before forums are full of "All mobs are dead, I can't level blue mage!"

That's what I'm expecting. It's going to be chaos.

Though interestingly it might be chaos that can be helped somewhat by people forming parties. Am I remembering right that everyone in a party has a chance to learn the enemy skill? Would encourage people to group up instead of playing solo next to each other.

Still, swarms of blue mages descending like locusts upon every last monster in sight.

This may be the worst choice they could make for delaying one piece of the patch content. If it came out last week the effect would be more staggered while people prioritised different things, but now it's the one new release that everyone will be trying to do at once.

Maybe they didn't want it to interfere with the Heavensturn FATE or something.

I'm pretty sure it's as long as you have aggro of the enemy and see it use the needed skill you get a chance to get it.

If "have aggro" is the requirement, that could still be a messy balancing act for how many people can get that without actually killing the target too quickly. Hopefully they get some deliberately weak or non-damaging spells so it's easier to safely 'tag' an enemy while waiting for it to use the skill you need.

One party with a level 70 paladin that keeps spamming flash. They keep using shirk on their party members before disbanding party and grabbing new people in the party, only to pass the aggro on. An hour later and you see a few dozen people sitting around, talking while the Paladin keeps going...and going...and going.
