Help with beginner Ast

[Aikeiko]

I actually don't have Lucid Dreaming since it says it affects Emnity (I thought that was Agro? Still learning a lot of the terms in the game) I didn't know it could help with MP so I'll swap out Swiftcast for it for now. ANd yea, I was thinking it was a 0 cost >_<.

I will get this, I really love the idea of Ast and it feels fun, just got to get the MP thing down =)

Yes, Lucid Dreaming also affects Enmity which is aggro. In this case it reduces enmity, I wanna say its halves current, or did it take the reduces generated from the original AST skill for it.

Do you have any patch notes and/or research on this particular change? I don't recall ever reading about any changes since this research was done back in June 2015.

I'll try to find the right patch note for it. Can't remember if it's in late 3.X or the 4.X series.
Will take more time looking for it, so grain of salt for now. Nearly positive they brought up where it caps out at above 1% like it originally was, worst comes to worst ill just have to manually run the test.

It's drops your enmity down to ever so slightly above half.
Unimportant in practice, it drops you to 50%, but then adds a small fixed amount of enmity like any action that grants a self buff.

The deleted pre-Stormblood ability Luminiferous Aether was an enmity suppressor instead.
