Why are we using maps like Hospital in the Slums? Those maps were weeded out last season.

Tornadoes? I hope you're all right.
Pierce, to be honest, the loser's bracket shouldn't be posted until all of the winner's bracket is done. This way, there's less confusion.
Quote from: "PX_Timefordeath"If the success rate is 30% at 70/40 faith, that says just how high the actually % to land is. If it were 70/70, I'm sure it'd hit every time. Do you want Paralyze/Sleep/Petrifies hitting 40 faith units at a 60% rate? That's just retarded, as it'll ruin the metagame.See my table above. A 70 Fa target with MEv will take a chunk out of the success rate. The success rate of Paralyze on a 70 Fa 0 MEv target for a 11 Ma 70 Fa oracle is roughly 90%. Sleep is just above 80%. Petrify is 65%. They're not going to hit every time. Against a 40 Fa target, by the way, the success rates are 51%, 41%, and 37%. The spells are currently so unreliable against 40 Fa targets as to be useless. When they do hit, the enemy can cure the ailment in one turn (and free of charge with items or Stigma Magic). How is this any more imbalanced than one-shot Flare or Secret Fist? A 70 Fa target is going to kiss the floor every time from a high-powered 100% accuracy Flare spell and force its team into sandbag mode, and all targets without death protection, no matter how powerful, will fall to the high-accuracy Secret Fist.
Quote from: "FFMaster"Also, if you are planning to use MA gear and MAUP for Oracle, you need to rethink it.I was using max Ma and MagicAtkUP to demarcate the extreme. Of course full Ma gear is silly.
Quote from: "FFMaster"At least 50% to cripple at least 1 unit for 2 turns, 4 range, and a small cast time(might use Short Charge here to speed things up, or maybe Defense UP), while having great HP(maybe some status protection instead, but whatever floats your boat) for a mage since you don't need the MA gear that much.I agree. In deference to the effect of other forms of magic against 40 Fa targets, a 50% chance to inflict a 40 Fa target with Don't Act is decent. That is the best case, however. Give the 40 Fa target a shield and the success rate goes south. Hence, I suggest that Yin Yang magic ignores MEv. Also, there's no reason to assume that the enemy will be afflicted with the status for two turns. The AI is keen on curing status ailments. A well built team should be able to cure status ailments on the fly, anyway.
Quote from: "CT5Holy"I'll also admit that 40 Faith teams can use element absorb as another way to heal, but that requires a lot of specialization, and mages are quite useful in that regard (better DO damage/healing, Black Magic)Draw Out is an effective way to heal 40 Fa teams. All it requires is one piece of equipment that absorbs an element on all characters. This immunizes your team from your enemy's use of the element as a bonus. Admittedly, options are limited to fire and wind absorption.
Quote from: "CT5Holy"Not many ways to have AoE damage - Draw Out, Elemental, that's basically it.And both Draw Out and Elemental are two of the most potent forms of offense. These abilities ignore Brave and Faith modifiers, which, in my opinion, breaks the system for everything else (unless the abilities are made incredibly weak or "unbuffable"), but this is all going off on a tangent.
