Haha these are some pretty amazing updates and im sure some have been anticipating something like this to come soon. My favorite idea of this update is that of the /blockaid. Amazing, something truly needed. No more of those bastards Spike Flailing us or Cure Ving Invicibleing our NMs away. /clap /cheer /praise to SE ^^.

About claming NMs, im pretty sure the NM will pop, and there will be something like a 5 second delay or so before it can even be claimed. So if bots try to use their spam voke macro or w/e before that time is up, their skill probably recasts with like a slow effect so provoke from 30s>>45-50s something like that. That gives NAs the advantage as well since now both nations will see the NM for a few seconds or so before it is even claimed. Im not really sure about what I said but I feel thats what it may mean!

SO now it's all about darts!

Let the dart war begin!(BTW that's how you beat people when you're a thf/nin)

At least it's not as fast as charm/provoke. So now it's on par with normal provokers/spells.

Poo well the npc run was good while it lasted.

Where did S-E sneak this beefy maintience update from?

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Aug. 1)

This is awesome. It looks like S-E is finally addressing the problems that have plagued many NA HNM linkshells.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Aug. 1)

Something still a little wrong with that change, Darts are only usable by a select few jobs. Unless they are expecting people to be throwing the 4delay virtue stone

The Aureole has scarcely a larger delay and is all jobs. Or you could just pull with Morion Tathlum

This is all based on the assumption that /ra isn't being counted as an ability. however, it acts as ability in the game mechanics. You cannot do anything else while performing an ra, and you initiate it from the ability menu. It's entirely possible that you can do nothing at all, even engage and swing at a mob until the requisite period has passed.
