Anyone wanna predict what this may be? I really can't imagine them nerfing it, it's underwhelming as it is. Surely it's a buff. Surely. ;;

They mentioned that none of the listed abilities/stats were being lowered, only increased.

Nah, that would be as crazy as SE not putting BLU on the best new swords from this update!

Agreed. If they increased the duration on Lore to 5:00 then I could see use, from multiple CAs... but as it stands now, I doubt theyll nerf one of our good JAs.

I'm fine with the duration... I just want them to change it to perma CA/BA effect when up. That stacks with CA/BA too ^^

It's a rapier, even before the pic was out 90% of people guessed it because blu can't use it. They are mostly rdm and pld type swords never a blu.

Yah, from the description it's hard to tell...

SE.Forums said:
The effects of the following job abilities have been adjusted:

* Divine Caress / Saboteur / Spur / Tenuto / Mana Cede / Efflux / Striking Flourish / Perpetuance / Immanence

"Adjusted" is such an open-ended term...but from the others in the set, I can't say any of them were so overpowered that they were crying out for a nerf. Sadly, I can't determine a common link to them (Immanence, Spur, Efflux, Mana Cede, etc. dealt with WS or TP I remember, but Tenuto and Saboteur dealt with self-buffs and debuffs) to indicate SE's intentions.

EDIT: And don't call me Shirley.

If you want to get technical (although it doesn't deal piercing damage- so I guess its a bilbo type? It can be hard to distinguish the two just looking at a screenshot though which is my point)

Only change is the animation. TP and D bonuses are the same.

I think it's safe to assume since every other ability listed there had a new animation, and the ones I've tried so far have no change.

So it was a buff! :p Graphics buff!

The common link between them was they were all originally created with cheap knock-off visual effects that borrowed from previous /ja animations (I hope.) :p
