  • (Quote) If you look at this part, there's two extra aurawarp ticks that isn't from bentaura:

  • Okay, looking at Wobou's log.

    It's a bad idea to assume asthma AND anorexia on malefact while not under aeon, Wobou. That screwed your aeon curing in the part I mentioned. That, and you need to make your system not invoke green when you'r…
  • Just a quick thought before I go to work, glancing through Shedrin's log.

    I actually feel the aurawarp rates are sorta nice feeling, but that might be because of unoptimised strategies and curing at this stage. For the vast majority of th…
  • That'd be the old bedevil. The new bedevil gives 2 affs from the caster to the target, according to Shedrin and the AB files. At 2s without a power cost, I agree with Shedrin that it's probably too strong. A healer can just sit there and spam bedevi…
  • If it doesn't cure the healer of the afflictions, it might be okay. That would limit its effectiveness between not giving the target a doublewhammy of losing his affliction progress AND getting afflicted. If not, it probably needs a power cost.
  • Hrm, I'm wondering if I should give FFXIV a spin and see how they do the mmo style.
  • Testing is definitely needed, but based off first impressions, Bendaura by itself is unlikely to build to instantkill levels by itself. In a group, you'll die much faster to the group, and in 1v1, 1 aff (and the aurawarp that entails) per 5s is not …
  • (Quote) If you're talking about the firefox toolbar, it has stopped automatially signing in since a few months back. I've already moved to Chrome almost permanently since a year or so back, so I don't use it often anymore, anyway. But yeah, i…
  • Also worthy to note, this is from Verioth, regarding the skillset design:

    Just to make everyone aware: A number of the lines were left intentionally vague on purpose. A big part of healing's offensive design was buil…

  • Eh, I think it's fine to have a yearly big competition. The world events tied to it tend to get a little trite, because this is primarily an OOC competition, really, not an IC one. While other events that happen throughout the year may be organicall…
  • IX is possibly one of the better games to get into the series with. It takes itself seriously, but still is playful enough to give a throwback nod to the character archetypes of the first few FFs. Its mechanics are not as game-breakingly exploitable…
  • Everything 7 and after is available via Steam, anyway. Well, except XV.

    Everything before 7 is available via emulators in all their SNES/NES glory, bugs and all.
  • So I recently started learning Shogi because of anime.

    It's pretty interesting.
  • Alternatively, just don't reconcile the obvious loopholes and don't think about it too much. It's a fantasy world, and as much as Estarra would like to create the best world there ever is, it's not really that possible to make things all perfect. Wh…

    To be fair, Yarith. That is a perfectly valid line of RP, and there are plenty of people who have pulled it off - some spectacularly, some more subtly. At the bottom line, there are plenty of competitions and mechanics tha…
  • It's pretty strict already.
  • Well, tbf, Squall was just... emo.
  • Well, you might want to consider getting athletics, then. It's got a number of decent utility/support abilities.

    Getting certain important abilities in planar will be good too, specifically conglut, if you don't have it yet. Getting your …
  • Speaking of which, they just realised a new SaGa in Japan. I was never a fan of that series, so I didn't grab it, though. Not that I have a PS Vita to play it, anyway.
  • That depends on what you want to achieve short-term/long-term, and what you already have.

    Generally speaking, everyone wants to trans everything long-term (naturally), so if you have all your short-term goals met, you might as well start …
  • Isn't the main character supposed to be very whiny or something?
  • The generic one hides all your past college lines and replaces them with a generic line. Presumably to prevent people from checking to see how much you've org-hopped.

  • ... That's nice.
  • Books are the best presents. A quirky book about graphic design would hew with his hobbies. Or a quirky book about crossfit.
  • Yes, paralysis and frozen count for the prone damage boost. Against non TKs, paralysis+blind would be rough, yes. In that sense, Nekotai do have a substantial advantage as the only class with additional poison attempts outside of beast spit, though …
  • On looking at Maligorn's logs, I saw a couple of problems with m&m's handling of bleeding. There are probably a couple of extra triggers that I can mail to Sidd to make it easier to handle. After that, it's really shrug city. The damage alone ac…
  • I tried running some numbers, but I'm at work, so my ability to do so was very limited, and I gave up after a while.

    I suppose the numbers would have only been a minor point anyway, since on second look, your argument is disputing my stat…
  • Finalsting is 2k bleed, actually. It's still very achieve-able, especially on warriors or classes that are really good at keeping up their health, or systems that are not as optimised to keep bleed low, or during team combat.

    A stack into…
  • I mean, that's not necessarily a bad thing, given how ridiculously daunting monk combat can be for a newbie trying to figure it out, just as an example. Simplifying combat in general across the board to make it more accessible for newbies was also o…
