Thread: Patch notes 1.19 ...

[dev1032] The following actions are now executable while in passive mode:
All magic spells

So happy about this!!

Asking for further thoughts regarding this matter:

HP and MP will automatically recover only while the player is stationary, regardless of whether or not he/she is engaged in battle. The amount of HP and MP recovered will increase based on the amount of time a player remains stationary.
The recovery amount will reset under the following conditions:

The player is attacked
The player moves or performs an action

What is the reasoning behind this change?

I'd like to know, too. Because this is probably my biggest (and nearly only) complaint about this patch.

Probably so mages can't just run around in the Ifrit battle in passive and still regen MP. Just a guess.

But doing that was a tactic, and an important one, for the Batraal and Ogre fights. We've already seen Ifrit can do 1800+ wide AoE damage with a single attack. That's gonna wreak havoc on MP pools.

Stock up on ethers, I guess. They're gonna get expensive.

Gonna have to find a "safe" place to stand, that's the new tactic.

Edit: I'm not saying it's good or bad, that's just how I see it.

Good guess, since the ifrit fight shows signs of that kind of mechanics. I wonder if this will apply to the rest of the game though.

Actually, because of this...

When players within an instanced raid are forced to log out due to a lost connection, they will now respawn near their party members upon logging back in.
(Only if one or more party members remain in the instanced area.)

...the tactic will be alt-tab and log back in to reset your enmity. I don't think SE thought this through.

Now they are simply removing the need for mages to go into passive in order to start regaining MP if they are already in it, because it will simply begin to regen as soon as they are finished generating enmity (like healing/nuking/buffing).

Good point.
