Thread: Patch 1.20 Notes (12/12/2011)

Am I reading this right, I just woke up: "[dev1206] The effects of Protect and Shell have been made mutually exclusive, and one now overwrites the other." Does this mean we can't have protect and shell on both at the same time?

Ya, seems so. It kind of bothered me when I first read it, but I think it'll add a bit more strategy to the game, especially if fighting multiple types of mobs at once.

Your avatar pic looks different @.@ Also to comment on that i don't see an shell spell or am i blind, also the one trait incresse the M.def protect gives i don't understand what they are saying with that. The whole con part seems messed to me also cause the stuff that should be Con only is not labeled even their traits.

I didn't notice that there was no shell in the spell list. It might that they made protect cover magic defense (with the trait "Enhanced Protect") so they could stick with their 15 actions, 10 traits format. Not sure if that's what they mean though.

It still seems like it is translated wrong or something. Three contradictions in the notes, one of them stats Pro and shell can be used at the same time, the second one stats that it will increase the magic defense of protect, and the last there is no shell.....

First you learn Protect. Then Protect enhances, increasing Def and Magic Def (protect and shell combined). There is no Shell.

Will it be over written based on who cast it? So caster A has to keep Shell up and Caster B has to keep Protect up. Or is it just 1 buff of that type at a time. Seems awfully strange for them to eliminate having both of them up. Maybe they want us to have to pop shell or protect on everyone when big boss monster is about to do their uber phys/magic type attack?

I'm a bit confused why Ifrit's Cane is keeping Attack magic potency. Being healer, I was really hoping to see healing potency on that thing. *sigh*
