I'm on brazilian servers, and only now we got the inner gates update, you guys have some tips on what chakras to use, or should I use the same guidelines that you talked about moods. If someone already asked about it, sorry for repeating.
Earth Style Petrifying Jutsu was 20% resistance before update and is 20% resistance after.
The only thing that changed was Steel Body. Pre Update: Steel Body gave 100% resistance. Post Update: Steel Body gives 100% defense
But yes, the main still stands; Earth is by far the weakest main in the game currently.
nop, I just tested on brazilian server here (we don't have 2.0 yet), the shield standard attack was 40% of earth main's resistance and the shield created by the mistery skill is 100% of earth main's resistance, that plus steel body giving bonus to defense instead of resistence is a HUGE nerf
