That is indicative of fTP fully transferring, which was the best case scenario for this update. I'm guessing they realized how potent this change was and decided to drop the WSC increase (or whatever it was) that they also had planned- which in all honesty was the right thing to do.

Do some testing ASAP to determine the teir Plumage gives by itself.

Nectarous Deluge 97MP 6 blue magic points to set, and gives beast killer on its own. Yay. Trying to learn the AoE drain spell from dullahans, but they hit like trucks are difficult even with trusts. Plus if I die, I gotta run a long way back to camp in cirdas caverns (gotta go through yorcia weald to the porter thing then run to the next porter to inner court). It's better than going to skirmish on BLU and having to HUNT for a specific mob.

Can easily learn this in Sih Gates map #2 (Where you fight the diremite NM for Respite Cloak) Plenty of Dullahans as soon as you enter

Also im about to do some testing on Libations to see if it's Skill-based or MAB based, hopefully the latter.

Edit: Atra. Libations is based on Blue Magic skill/1
Short AoE and a really long recast timer.

So, we're looking at gorget/belt/rancorous for CDC now, or is windbuffet+1 still adding more?

Resources? Updates do that fairly often.

Resources not updated probably, you can add it yourself or wait a few hours and rerun the launcher. The windower guys are usually on top of updates, but most of them have jobs and SE doesn't send them the update in advance.

It says 8 which means it is worth one trait level. I'd find it very surprising if it was anything but DW1 with just that spell alone.

Top candidates to replace with Molting Plumage:

Mortal Ray
Animating Wail

You remove 2 spells that are useless and have 9 set points, for a spell that does damage and is sometimes useful and is 6 set points. Win in my book.

Atra. Libations formula looks like
Code
floor([Blue Magic Skill] * .11)*9

Pixie Hairpin +1 and Archon Ring work in enhancing it.

Any confirmation on whether or not this bumps us up to DW4 or if this new spell is just a replacement? Just got home and updating the client or else I'd check myself and I'm too anxious to wait.

Really quick testing indicates it does.

Melee hit with old 6 DW spells: 61
Melee hit with old 6 DW spells + Molting Plumage: 58

Part of me is overjoyed at DW4 and part of me wants to die from having to make even more changes to my spell sets.

Doing the math afterwards using the formula here, it does indeed appear to grant us DW4.

25% DW (DWIII) & 180 delay per hand: 17+(180×489÷2000) = 61(floored)

30% DW (DWIV)& 168 delay per hand: 32+((168-12)×11÷64) = 58(floored)

Which follow the results from the short test.
