SE "fixes" despoil.Follow

They must have fixed it already because last night it worked for the second time since they added it. >.>

Of all the things to fix, this is SEs answer...so sad, so very very sad....

There's certainly nothing wrong with /having/ despoil, at least a version that's worth using. But certainly it should be a background trait/ability; not something to replace the job's progressive growth. Meanwhile warrior gets a straight buff. I thought the ability 'restraint' was rather clever. Strengthen hits but negate crits? I felt it gave the job some flexibility, especially in the KJ vs RR dept. And now they're just straight up buffing the job by giving the ability no drawback. Fine and all if you want to add straight-buff abilities that don't require brains to use; but at least do the same for other jobs.

Ill give credit where credit is due. This is a much needed adjustment to despoil. Despoil is in its current state unusable. SE looks to be remedying that with both higher proc rate and unveiling of the enigmatic "debuff". This is a very good and needed change. I dont like the 'random' factor of it (ask bsts how much better control is over random just by the pet TP move choice with sic now), but this may actually end up having some actual utility now. All i can hope is by "increasing the rate" they mean it works regardless of actual steal success.

Obviously this does little to quell the unrest in thf world as we can see by the general feeling around here, but I cant knock this teaser. This is an overdue adjustment to despoil. Tiny thumbs up to SE.

The thief new trait "Dual Wield" will have an increased tier beginning from III at level 83.

I rather they fix that >.>;

This is porbably the biggest reason despoil fix is even more of a lolupdate.

I'm still complaing about it. It shouldn't share a recast timer with steal. It's not even worth its OWN 5 minute timer. Its a joke.
