[quote=Fr0stJsn]>.> i wanna know how eliquis and ifit or however you spell the summons... are going to be affected, since ID and FD get turned into 3rd job skills... i guess that 5needed turns into max? or unrelated?[/quote]
better be unrelated... i hate ID
[quote=jdans9188]Its pretty much just a DoT now, no initial damage.[/quote]
No, they wouldn't remove the initial damage, that would defeat the purpose of the re-balance. Pure DoT-only skill with a single-directional aim? Impossible, unless I misinterpreted.
Edit: I searched, it now does 520% damage, along with the 90% DoT with 1 second interval.
[quote=kirbyhyper]It's not really that different.
They just expanded the size of the original one.[/quote]
Hence why i said it didn't change much... I still like how its a little bigger though. I was even thinking this a few days ago (before Jump!). They even added the stun feature i wanted ^~^
[quote=blimko]I like CL new animation. Although it doesn't seem that different.[/quote]It's not really that different.

@Veneni:
Oh that makes sense.
Glacial Chain seems cool But I dont see how its useful since CL is long-range anyway.
@lilchangsta The books will become glacial chain/mist eruption books.
@ChildsPlay Neither do I.
[quote=kittykat200]I hope IL's get stronger.
FP's getting that strong isnt fair
What new skills do we have now?[/quote]
Dont forget FP mages were weaker to begin with. Also those % aren't right, there were some bugs in the calculations (in favour of IL mages). Also Arcane Ames isn't calculated in because it's not clear yet how it actually works. That's probably a +40% for both numbers.

Ice Demon is not a DoT only skills, it has a base damage. Look at F/P's FD, Spadow made a mistake it seems.
I like Glacial Chain, but something more original please? xD

Glacial Chain.

I don't like CL's new animation. QQ
If ID is getting moved to 3rd job then there's no point in buying books for it right?
I hope they renew the summons and make them even more detailed
And so far all the changes seem satisfactory (especially Spell Booster now giving 3 speed instead of 2).
[quote=cooliee125]@iDropPanties: Yes it gets help form other skills but CL on its own hasnt been changed other than the fact that the dropp off damage was deleted, which is great.[/quote]
I only posted what I did because you said "We don't get that much better."
[quote=razru]It's still in KMS[b]T[/b] and only the first of a possible multiple update if history is an indication. Although some of you might have mixed feelings about the current state in KMST, I wouldn't worry about it too much until everything is finalized since anything can happen.[/quote]
I usually go by this, but it didn't exactly work out last time.
[quote=cooliee125]Yeahh our base % damage got MURDERED. We aren't that much better.[/quote]
Oh yeah because, 40% extra damage from arcane aim and 20% ignore don't mean anything.
numbers are up on SP.net
I/L are 11.4% stronger than before
F/P are 64.6% stronger than before
am not happy
I didnt really understand the Ice Demon thing...Its says : 10 seconds of 90% damage over time with a time interval of 1 second has been added. The ability of turning monsters ice weak has been removed. What does it mean ? Does it do 90% dmg every 1 sec or is there a 1 sec gap between each hit?
Ahah! Glacial Chain does Freeze! I was reading that it didn't and was hoping for another source of the skill eventually.
Thanks for the post!
I screamed when I saw this video, honsely. I was like "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WTF IS THAT, AWWWWWW YEAAAAAA, GALACTICAL CHAIN OMFG" I am very excited for this patch.
