Producer Matsui Reveals Changes To SP Abilities

As a general direction we will be raising all of the abilities so that they become useful. However, we believe that we will have no choice but add the lowering of effects of Perfect Defense and Embrava to our scope of adjustments.

So I could Use both PUP SP for Mighty Strikes and 'Hundred fists'?
Hoping I read and understood the notes correctly

Watch them make it unstackable with Perpetuance, or even with Accession.

that would makes no sense since all SCH only spells are "Compatible" w/ the sch abilities.

I thought about this for a few minutes and decided it would be best to make a new topic for this one post so more players might get a chance to see the news. I will be making a copy of this post in the original topic, and future updates will be posted there, but this is just to share the changes Producer Akihiko Matsui announced on the official forums.

thinking they are going to lower the recast to 30 min and NOT nerf Meikyo Shisui is laughable

Matsui is. Thank you for the many reflections immediately. Concerns due to the reduction of (aura) Renkan total / absolute defense, some of the content that I can no longer capture not believe in mind in this adjustment Upon development team. Therefore, not only the adjustment of the ability, but also about the content, it is scheduled to take needed action in consideration of the impact. I think that in any of the content of future content / existing monster special for that we are Umidasa purposes made ​​it Anwhei / aura absolute defense, only to counter them is not a favorable condition never . Go to correction so that it does not do so, is the first of intent / adjust this aura is an absolute defense. There is also the assumption also scholars and Summoner, as a result, as a wider range of play with other elements of that we want to be and let people active / know is there any surface that inconvenience but you, I think you'll understand me. Next, I supplement with respect to separation of the recast. It becomes possible by the separation of the recast, combination of the SP abilities of the two, since it is the scheme for the effect of the assumption can not be used at the same time the original, remains the current comes out some balance is poor. In carrying out a review of the effect, this point will be readjusted. Also, it's not enough counter recast in the present circumstances, I have not changed even now. In order to solve this problem, the frame work of the expansion has been ongoing, and reuse of the SP separation ability, this solution is required. This also has been one of the factors that introduce delay. In addition, this extension is completed, ability of other well SP abilities, has been tied to the upper limit of the frame so far (pillage / stolen, and Seoul Jump / Spirit Jump) also, the outlook that I would be attained to improve is.

NNI is winnable without Embrava. I'd estimate you could expect over 1/3 winrate for a good group without it. It just makes everything that much easier.

Sorry, 1/3 win rate is still likely higher than SE expected given how great most of the gear is. They don't need to nerf anything because of an embrava adjustment. If you're that scared, go get 15/15 before patch hits.

All you lose is regain if you replace your rune SCH with a gjallarbrd with decent fast cast, and about 1/3 of our runs end with over 5 min remaining. Regain doesn't account for anything near that, unless you have a run that's extremely heavy on kill-all. No clipper, just attention span.

Players love to whine about everything they can't do though..

Are you implying that I can't beat Nyzul?

Still shouldn't make anything impossible or require a nerf for any current content, that I can see.

PD becoming entirely worthless without a replacement would certainly cause problems in legion, but it's unlikely it'd be that severe. You still have a TON of options for mitigation, and if the new WHM 2h is equivalent to PD in status prevention then it's irrelevant if that's removed or not. I really can't see PD being reduced below 50% mitigation, personally, and even that feels like a huge stretch.

The few people who still haven't capped nyzul gear would probably be upset at an embrava nerf, but it'd depend what gets nerfed. A general weakening wouldn't really change much. Complete removal of the haste would just mean you bring BRD SCH instead of SCH SCH and demand capped fast cast on BRD then embrava last 15 min. Removal of regen would be mildly inconvenient, removal of regain would be irritating.

As I'm sure someone has pointed out in previous posts but there is Nothing Perfect about anything less than 100%.
