Yes. Now people wont complain anymore about too many Tokens of Healing.

I think there is a bug on stun.

The problem likes this:
15 7 The effect Stunned on The Q has expired.
15 6 The effect Stunned on Shinzo55 has expired.
15 5 Spreading Poison hits Shinzo55 for 593 damage.
15 4 Spreading Poison hits Shinzo55 for 593 damage.
15 3 Spreading Poison hits Shinzo55 for 593 damage.
15 2 You hit The Q for 3965 crushing damage.
15 1 You hit Shinzo55 for 2099 crushing damage.
14 7 The effect Shadow Veil has expired.
14 6 Regen II restores 501 points of health.
14 5 Spreading Poison hits Shinzo55 for 593 damage.
14 4 Spreading Poison hits Shinzo55 for 593 damage.
14 3 The Q gains the effect Stunned.
14 2 You crit The Q for 3600 crushing damage.
14 1 You crit Shinzo55 for 3991 crushing damage.
13 5 Regen II restores 602 points of health.
13 4 You resist the attack from The Q.
13 3 The Q casts Omnipotence
13 2 Shinzo55 gains the effect Stunned.

poison occurs 3 times in a round.

What the heck?! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Using DW - Mainhand = Club (3 turn stun) / Offhand = Rapier (6 turn PA) ... 5.6 burden, a speedy character build + Haste.

14 4 Ryouko Asakura gains the effect Stunned.
14 3 Ryouko Asakura gains the effect Penetrated Armor.
14 2 Your offhand crits Ryouko Asakura for 2408 void damage.
14 1 You crit Ryouko Asakura for 6263 void damage.

Battle info shows proc duration on her: Stunned = 3 turns / PA = 6 turns

Then ...

15 1 You hit Ryouko Asakura for 10298 void damage.

Battle info shows proc duration on her: Stunned = 0 turns (still stunned, but 0 turn remains) / PA = 3 turns

....

How is this happen?! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... The proc expired so fast it seem unreal! ... And this is the the log from the whole turn; I'm the only one that actually do something.

I wonder how this will work with bleed weapon; maybe it could be better, or worse... The SP drain from using Spirit mode alone is so painful already... Why this?

yeah, stun charges are causing poison and other DoT effects to rapid proc until player's next turn

i'm not sure if this is intentional or not, it's a mixed blessing

scratch that, stunning enemies w/o procs really only lasts up to your next turn making stunning useless for attacking

oh well i'm enjoying my poison damage atm!

I did note that as the one thing melee users have over mages with Spirit Mode... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
But like I said, I know little about maging. So if leaving one enemy alive to build up overcharge is extremely dangerous, then OK, not that much of a buff. Definitely think it's much harder on melee users either way.

So far, from what I've experienced, being a mage on higher difficulties is about blowing monsters away with spells that do 5X the amount of health you have before they get lucky with a "magic" attack (melee monster skills being the worst, because they can't be resisted, and your parry is low) that is likely to do around 10 points of health more than you have at max. Even at Nightmare, they still have spells that do 50% of your health, so recently picking up Regen has been a blessing because it keeps you at full.

In other words, anything that increases the amount of turns it takes to kill something (like melee attacks) greatly increases the chance of being one-shotted.

I used to only do melee attacks against celestials and elementals (I have a soul Ethereal staff), because I don't have Dark or Soul magic yet. That and activating Mana Theft. Ever having my OC at 100% was something I did only when I went out of my way to do it.

So then once you beat it at IWBTH, it'll never heal you again?

Yeah, I read the part about not regenning right after doing my daily First Blood on IWBTH. :S


Also, now that spirit points are barely used at all, can we stop the Spirit Gem from dropping? I mean, I have nearly 100 spirit points and even if I go out of my way to do melee attacks to raise my OC, I couldn't possibly use that much...

And the fact that OC is lost during Spirit Mode when doing things like popping potions or other things that aren't improved by Spirit mode is annoying. Especially because SM takes a turn to activate...

And I want the ability to name my Spirit Mode. It was ironic because the name of my Spirit Attack was a reference to a constant ability that lasts a short while...

Dunno if it's just me, but my debuffs drains like 2 or 3 times faster (and unpredictably? 1 turn Weakens lose 1 turn duration after my attack, and the following round it loses like 3).

Stun proc is worthless this way, right after you stun them it's either 0 or 1 turn left. :E

Did anything change with monsters' APs?

I'm just gonna die in this IWBTH arena I guess lol.

back to bleed i guess or to start using a staff

1 5 The effect Stunned on Neptunia has expired.
1 4 Useless hits you for 24 crushing damage.
1 3 You evade the attack from Tsuruya.
1 2 Neptunia gains the effect Stunned.
1 1 You crit Neptunia for 1796 void damage.
0 4 Spawned Monster C: MID=3136 (Tsuruya) LV=224 HP=7937.5
0 3 Spawned Monster B: MID=8530 (Useless) LV=225 HP=10850
0 2 Spawned Monster A: MID=3697 (Neptunia) LV=225 HP=8712.5
0 1 Initializing Item World (Round 1 / 148) ...
0 0 Battle Start!

I'm liking Spirit Mode. Allowing mages to make use of overcharge after ETing is a nice bonus.

I don't know if it's intended or not, but Overcharge will drop below 0% on the last Spirit Mode turn if it's not exactly at 10%.

Chaos token still useless except create more monster...

You'll appreciate them more when you get Spark of Life / Spirit Shield.

tenboro can you put skills on the spell bar

since it depends on weapon just label it "melee skill" or something

I think there is a bug on stun.

also, stun/bleed DW on bosses is comic genius

lol.

And suggestion:Please increases the physical damage boost of spirit mode,for example refers to the max overcharge. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

*snap fingers* Ah, I knew I was forgetting something.

Also if he can call the weapon skill something other than "Innate Skill", which it clearly isn't.
And put some space between "Flee" and "Scan". It's making me paranoid.

That explains me saying the Stun from the Staff skill didn't last long back on the first page. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I'd never had a stun weapon before, so I didn't know how it worked.


Edit: AHHH, When I'm at -2% Overcharge, Scan is greyed off! And I can't use it!
And after it goes back above 0%, it seems to raise faster??? +12% each time instead of +3ish...

Bug on stun/sleep should be fixed. You know, probably.

I'm trying to grasp whether the change in Spirit will be of help, but so far it looks just like a nerf for higher level players and a buff for lower ones...

I mean, when you need to have Spirit Shield up 100 % of the time (and thus cannot afford Spirit Mode), the changes will essentially result in lower damage output, because you lose the damage bonus from Overcharge.

It might help lower level players who don't (didn't) have much use for Spirit, but for endgamers melees seems like things will only get harder. :E

Any thought on that?

let me guess, the bug was introduced when you removed the combat log spam from stun/sleep (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'm afraid not, seemed to work at first but my stun procs/debuffs keep draining at 3x rate.
