The best thing to happen to BLMs since... well I can remember- dead.

A friend asked me to build up a party the other day, I went out there and the mobs were all different. I only saw 2 BSTs and Greater Amphetere dropped down and killed me twice right at the C.A teleport.
No more 20,000 Exp an hour.
For once I thought SE gave us mages a chance to play equal with melee burns- I should have known better.

still mourning the loss...

Apparently they're cool with you to AFB but if you're a black mage you're not allowed to have any fun. Don't mean to derail but not a day goes by that I don't see korroloka being reamed by lv12 summoners. Why did they move the mobs in the first place? Did they ever specify a reason for doing that? If not, kinda makes you wonder.

I just went to check out Xarcabard [S] to verify, and I don't notice any difference.

I thought they said they moved mobs around to make it less painful to campaign there. Guess they ninja nerfed this camp too :/

[FinalSMNCrusader]

Even if they didn't move the mobs around - now that the NM actually touches down it's impossible to pull for crazy high chains like we used to...

I personally take solace in knowing every single korroloka smn will have days, probably weeks really, of leveling their summoning skill if they want to be more than a cure/stoneskin bot.

You realize there's no penalty for having lower summoning skill, correct? They just won't be able to take advantage of additional Acc/Macc from superfluous skill through equipment and merits.

BUT WHAT ABOUT ELEMENTAL SIPHON!?

They're also stuck with a minute and a half hastega which believe it or not does hurt.

..Which is only relevant if you're playing a cure-bot, and avoiding such a role was your premise for not having under-skilled summoning.

Aha, there is a distinct difference between someone who stands there spamming cures and someone who takes a full and proper support role using all the tools available too them. On another note, summoning skill is also used in calculating the strength of avatar's favor.

Since it sounds like it was pretty lame anyway and nobody bothered to post it here, I can't say I care that SE nerfed it.

late, but the amphiteres have always ventured off into the C.A. teleport. I know this because I would afk to see just how close they would come, and of course, they did.


no sir, i didnt like it. but it only happens so often
