All Worlds Maintenance (Nov. 18)

[Melondra]

What the hell is hard about Qarn? Outside of people going in blind and not saying so, I've *never* failed to clear this.

Sastasha on the ther hand, Karlabos. Something is off about Tail Screw. Most of the time, My Ninja can catch every single Tail Screw, right till its dead. Sometimes he will cast it when i have 5 seconds left on recast from the previous one, Other times, he'll cast it so often that he goes full resist and starts one shotting healers around the 50% mark.
Random is good. Random is fun.
Random that NEEDS to be stunned is ... not so good.

You do relies that, that is what is called a hate reset move nad a healr chek, the fight is designed to see if your helers are on there game wich is why the move is almost fatal when it goes off, I never hered anyone stung that move to my knowledge this move was done on purpose to test the recovery abilitys of your healer. If you notice one thing about the move it never hits the healer.

Which boss would be nerfed? None of the bosses in 2.4 HM are all that hard. Hardest is Qarn because people tunnel vision so hard.

There are a few wonky things in some of the boss fights. The Sabotender's 100,000 needles are supposed to be broken by damage, but I've been in some groups where all the damage they could muster couldn't stop it but killing all the adds did, and other groups where we got killed after killing adds anyway. Wandil's Snow Drift doesn't always give freezy stacks to everyone and no one knows why. Mummy stacks from standing where the sarcophagi spawn stack way too quickly (I went from 0 to 4 in about two seconds the one time I stood on the edge), plus the time spent from waiting for sarcophagus to trap you, slowly become a mummy, finally get released and wander from one end of the room to the other just takes you out of the fight for far too long. Karlabos, while not really a hard fight if you watch for the slime drops and wait for Tail Screw after that, should really give a sniper lock-on icon on the character when they get Prey. And Fenrir really could use a buff; he's just too much of a one-note joke to be the final boss of a dungeon.

Well, there actually is an add you need to kill to stop the needles, it has a green line. Kill that then you can stop needles with damage.

3.) PvP Frontline adjustment and fixed

"We have addressed an issue where disconnects in Frontlines were displaying the wrong error message"

If they actually fix that horseshit then 2.41 will probably be my favorite update. Certainly not going to hold my breath though...

On Housing, it'd be great if they make it so Lavender Beds Subdivision isn't flipped 90 degrees... That's just... Annoying...

Ninja - ninja-nerf!!! /lolz

why would they nerf nin? mnk is still the strongest dd, so they should nerf mnk in that case.
i'd guess at drg buff instead.
or new relic step. echo buff.

Ninja is unbalanced, this is evident to anyone that understands balance. Ninja's TP costs are the same as Monk with the potencies of Dragoon. They also get free power for no reason.

only aeolian edge has high potency. you're using 2 dots who are a bit more costly, and res debuff as well, which aren't as strong.
either way, mnk is stronger, and drg is weaker; nin dont need nerf, drg need buff.
nin needs free power, or it would be weaker than drg.

NIN have a lot of abilities that require no TP and you do not lose your combo when you interrupt to use them in between the combo actions.

same as drg and mnk...
MNK has touch of death, steel peak, howling fist, that you can use without interrupting combos, and they cost no TP either. (well touch cost tp)
DRG got jumps, and leg sweep.

Touch of death requires no TP and is off the GCD? WOW AWESOME NEWS.

All credibility lost.

If they nerf anything on Ninja, it should be the DoT potencies. That's the only thing which strikes me as superior on Ninja. Even Ninjutsu, when used in a proper rotation, shouldn't be doing more than what Dragoon offers in Jumps, and the "Dragoon has direction requirements on combos, Ninja doesn't!" argument kind of falls flat when you consider than Dragoon has no requirements on Jumps, while Ninja has to contend with latency messing up Ninjutsu; not to mention while Ninja only has three directional requirements, meeting that requirement on Trick Attack is pretty damn vital. I'd honestly rather have my directional requirements on GCD rather than on abilities...

Sorry but Ninjas deal more DPS than us Monks, it is true. Also, no. Aeolian Edge isn't the only high potency, the DoTs and every Ninjutsu has high potency. Even Dancing Edge has high potency. Ninja's potencies are about as high as Dragoon's with the TP costs of Monk with free power. Monk and Dragoon has to work for their power, Ninja does not.

No, they have two. Technically one since you'll never use Sneak Attack.
