This thread probably has something to do about SMNs. Just a guess.

I mean, the last time I met a genuinely happy summoner was.... when?

The following job-related adjustment previously announced via Topics has been canceled:

Reduction in enmity generation for ranged attacks.


So all RNG gets is increased duration on Velocity Shot (which doesn't make any difference because you could keep it on full time before anyway), a crappier implementation of the Distance plugin and an almost unnoticeable -enmity effect on Camouflage that lasts 1-4 shots.

Apparantly SE has decided that RNG needs nothing, so this is RNG's "job adjustment"


And yes this is pure butthurt.

Usually helps to have the point of your thread in the original post... no?

Also aren't you a little late? I mean I'd assume most Rng/Cor out there got pissed about this and got over is roughly 14 hours ago...

Really? Of all the jobs that got even a small buff, the RNG is complaining? Sure it's not super, but it could be the other jobs still.

Unlimited Shot doesn't get wasted because you missed?

EDIT: sorry, that's more of a "something that should have been the case in the first place", but at least you got things that are moderately useful, rather than, I dunno, Retrace.

Why is that useful?

Unlimited shot is only used for CP ammo with a WS. If your WS misses, all it means is that now your next regular shot doesn't use up ammo. This is completely useless.

It gives you a reason to use it for things other than WSes. Congratulations, you got Shield/Weapon Bash on roughly half the timer (3min instead of 5min) if you're carrying Spartan Bullets.

Spartan bullets are much cheaper to make than silver bullets so I don't see why you'd need to worry about expending them.

Not to mention the proc rate on high level mobs is very low, which is why nobody uses them. They hardly proc on anything you need to stun.

Basically when SE unveiled our "update" the ranger community called it a crap sandwich, BUT, we noticed a tasty slice of cheese in it called enmity reduction for ranged attacks. We were happy with that. it meant we had a chance to maybe get back into many of the events we're not welcome in anymore because of our tendency to pull hate. then, at the last second, right before we actually have to EAT this crap sandwich, SE yanks out the cheese. Check most of the ranger forums. You'll find the general response to this update is "@#$% you SE!"

edit: i can't believe i'm actually rating lobivopis up for something

Thats's the only instance in the game where it is a great help.
Less dead pixies. Pop Unlimited Shot and keep throwing Stygian Ash until either you hit, or Dark Ixion runs away.

Other then that it's indeed pretty much useless.

It is ok to use a meme in a contextually appropriate way. It is not ok to turn in a meme to the admins as a "happy friday" comic knowing full well that they will post it as original work and cause a sh*tstorm.

You know, like when you did that a few months ago?


I wasn't "whining" about 4chan, I was warning people about what could happen if that little stunt you pulled stayed on the front page.

Why do BLMs never count armor updates?

Because it would make their job the most updated job in the game.

COR/RNGs and COR/WARs are /angry, too. I actually had high hopes for Ranged Attack reduced enmity generation, because I already pull too much hate and have found myself dead a few times. No, the PLD didn't suck, for those who don't play COR, our rolls generate lots of hate, combine that with spamming bullets at a mob when the other people are whiffing during the middle levels and you end up with a dead COR/RNG.
