Thread: I am so happy they finally fix Shield Oath on next patch 2.1! Thank you Yoshida-san!!

Wait you guys are still using Cure instead of Stoneskin at Endgame? Holy jebus... And I now I wonder why MMO players need to be spoon fed. As of now you have to have around at least 150 Mind to reach the value of a Stoneskin at 10%.

Why wouldn't they commit to that?

Simple if Paladin had enough high mind, a overhealing of say 600 heal would generate a AoE threat of all tagged mob of 600*1.2*1.5 if it doesn't overheal it will still generate 600*1.2 in Shield Oath. Average Cure cost 1 Riot Blade and is sustainable with a rotation of Cure > Riot Blade Combo > Cure, 3 Cures if you have Mage Ballad on. If that really happened I'd would be gearing Mind/Piety iLvl 70 crafted accessories. Also Riot Blade returns mana based on Max MP% if I'm not mistaken. And due to how swing normally works a Paladin can always clip Cure whereas for Stoneskin they need to time a cast just when a hit lands.

If you want a Healer level Cure which to say is about 780-830 range, effectively the Paladin could sustain himself almost 80% of the fight in HM Titan and the serious threat only being that Tumult reaching high numbers of stomp. What not only Paladin needs but also Warriors need in terms of fixing is the Awareness preventing critical heals

Japanese patch notes. Just go to the Lodestone, change the language in the upper right, scroll down to the articles to find the patch notes.

The Awareness change shows up under the following:

不具合修正

Which looks to me like fixed bugs (Google says "Bug Fix"). The next section is:

確認されている不具合

Which I'm guessing is the known bugs ("Defects have been identified").

@Bixby

以下の不具合が修正されます:
"The following Bugs have been fixed"

Hence Awareness is now back on the Hotbar~

1-4 Nothing Important
5 - Turn 3 Dreadknight will not be fixated on a target and not attack at all.
6 - Dreadknight Stunning a target just as it acquired will no longer stun the target for the whole duration until the next Dreadknight
# - Shadow Flare and Flaming arrow being a Ground Effect DMG action was always performing critical damage (I didn't know this)
# - The ability to benefit 2 x Fast Cast Umbral Ice 3 effect by continuous cast (Major BLM damage trick. Basically you get Fire 3 x 2 cast where the first one does reduced damage but the second one does full damage but only requiring 1.75s cast)
I'm not sure if they can fix this because it seems like a client delay thingy, as of now cause of this I can powerlevel my Chocobo now Rank 8.8 with a THM (8-10second kill rate on same level mobs). If they indeed fix this it would mean right after using Bio 1 you can immediately use Bane.
# - Lancer's Leg Sweep under certain circumstances will fail to land the stun effect.


No mentions of Foe Requiem.

Think you may have found something rather big here that the English smn community is not aware of. It explains why Shadow Flare always seemed to do more damage than its potency suggested. Bug or not this will be upsetting to a community already reeling from the loss of thunder.

You mean the tooltip error? Localization issues never get mentioned in the bug fixes, but. . .

SMNs were already aware that was happening. At least, I know it's been mentioned on the forums before, and I've pointed out the FA issue, too.
