We knew the magic evasion nerf was coming, but combat and magic skills?
We knew that was coming too, it's intended to offset the GEO nerfs. Whether partially or completely is as yet unknown.
It's more of fixing an error carried forward. Mobs likely had those stats because of what geo was doing which was itself a bug. And they decided to not pull an office space and only fix the bug

Of course since they completely messed up the math for what 2 years now and have been basing content on that since then and are just now figuring it out despite numerous questions brought up about the potencies and asking to see things like /checkparam of these things makes me somewhat dubious of them getting it right this time

Star Sibyl probably had some form of pre-patch Indi-Focus effect? It's possible that she wasn't targeted, but instead indirectly hit by the Focus nerf and they reported the change accordingly.

Bleh, as if omen wasnt easy enough already. One of the few things i enjoyed doing - hopefully its not too nerfed

I'm looking forward to being able to farm cards for jobs that aren't "Omen NM friendly". I'll be curious to see, also, how the mob mag. evasion, etc. goes, considering I love using Cloudsplitter on all the things, even in Omen.
So do the first 2 floors then warp out, or what?

They should give us 2 entries if we want to just farm cards!

Upgraded Adoulin rings!?

Also:
The amount of +magic damage on this Ambu set.

Helix set?

But then the feet:
"Converts 10% of damage taken to MP." Does this still go into effect with mana wall up?

Pretty obviously requiring completion of the new Adoulin quest to upgrade your ring.

I'm... adjusting my Snapshot sets right now ;) Gogo team Haverton.

fairly minor stat upgrades on the rings but I wonder if it lets you have an NQ and an HQ at the same time. would make achieving that final questline worthwhile

Yep, first two floors and also hope the objectives don't suck too bad. Soon as floor 3 is reached, warp out then wait 20 hrs. Sucky isn't it?

At least with this update, you can choose to not encounter any NMs and you'll be able to do first 2 floors, then after the 2nd floor you get sent to the 4th floor. I'm assuming after that floor is done, you exit. It's better than a kick in the nuts from a Bard singing bad songs about a love lost.

Well ***, now what ring do I choose?

...can I have an NQ and a different HQ? >_>;

Only Mallquis piece that looks noteworthy from my (GEO-oriented) perspective at a glance is the feet. 10% damage->MP is pretty nice, but it conflicts with both pet gear and AF+3 feet so ehhh...

I'm note sure you "upgrade" your Ring as so much get to chose a 2nd one.

knowing SE, it will almost certainly require the NQ, like the neck pieces.

Well, Renaye and Woltaris getting Refresh+2 is a pretty nice +1! Vocane going from DT-7% to DT-8% is pretty nifty as well.

Some of them are utter garbage upgrades though (Shneddick gets minor bump in resist rates, the already useless Gorney doesn't even get more TH).

They're implementing it in this update happening now. As far as how to choose that option, that's still up in the air.

says it right here:

Omen has undergone the following adjustments
New routes have been added.
An additional option has been added when examining the ethereal ingress in the second area. Selecting this option will send you along a route where mini-bosses do not appear.

My gut says the +1 is their easy way out to let you have 2 rings without screwing up the quest to change them if you dropped.

From what I remember watching the freshly picked it looked like you got to pick from a few options and went straight from 2 to 4. Maybe you can somewhat select what fodder you fight? Hard to say though because they were using cheats... like one floor they did something and all mobs dropped dead and they got to advance lol

I haven't even started, and for the most part, the +1 versions of the rings seem like minor upgrades to their NQ counterparts, if anything.

Now if they were like, game breakingly broken upgrades, then yeah I'd get right on it.

If they allow you to have 2 rings, though, then the effort is well worth the reward.
