If this is true, then it's about DAMN time.
Tell me about it. I hated the fact that a level 3 Goblin with a crossbow could strip my shadows just by shooting at me.

I noticed it when the Ninja Fomor in Sacrarium used ranged attacks. I believe single target magic spells will always absorb one shadow still.

Also: Clearly the OP had Ichi on them and they forgot and then cast Ichi again.

The counter is the new one SE announced a long time ago so you could keep track of how many shadows you had instead of counting in your head.

Lamentor, I go by every word I say. I really don't have any business trolling, since most of the time I post to give my thoughts. You just have to trust me on this.

And for everyone asking, no, I don't use 3rd Party Windower. Also, I'm 100% positive I had Ni casted before I casted Ichi. Nothing else.

With Ni, I started off with 3 Ni Shadows, stripping me down to 2 Ni shadows.
You sure you didn't start with 3 Ichi shadows?

@Quetzacoatl it was like that way back, but they changed it to where ichi or ni would cancel each other out when casted.

Uh... Ni overwrites Ichi, but casting Ichi doesn't cancel Ni, unless you manually do it, or have whatever plugin does that *** (doesnt know). I'd know from PLD WAR SAM BRD, which all use /NIN very often @_@;;

Ranged attacks can miss you now if you have shadows up. Not sure if that occurred in a previous update, but ranged attacks would always strip a shadow if you had one.

No proof offhand, but I've had Ranged Attacks miss while I had shadows up, its rare, and it really depends on level of mob. Seeing as most mobs that use Ratt are RNG, they have Acc bonus traits and are pretty accurate (read: very high).

I don't recall seeing it before this update. However, now they miss often. About on par with their melee attacks missing you with shadows.

And if they have such high accuracy, how come a level 3 Goblin used to hit shadows with near 100% accuracy, but miss pretty much every shot without shadows?

There should be enough data to make the conclusion here. I only made the screenshots small for the sake of post length. inb4 tl;dr
















Only good thing that came out of this:

Ichi can overwrite Ni... with spellcast!

Well not really, technically, a spellcast rule cancels Ni at the last moment... right before Ichi goes off.
