Eska still not working properly - complement to #1884
regarding issue: #1884 (closed)#
Def part will be adressed in next patch. --- #1884 (comment 616736116)
Skills: Improved
Eska
's Def buff / debuff to its official behavior. It only affects the random part of vit def / soft def. Related to #1884 (closed) [ec2ef1747a] --- changelog-2021-07-03
-> DEF part seems to have been fixed so far (?)
From what i can tell, it also affects the ASPD portion just fine too, however the movement speed part is still messed up:
Eska increases the movement speed of Poring, Orc Zombie; does zero change to Orc Lady, Orc Warrior; seems to slow down High Orc. I didn't test it any more extensively, but it seems to be all over the place. I made a short demonstration:

Sadly, i can't remember whether or not Eska worked as advertised (iROwiki) on iRO, but rAthenas fix/take on seems to be the most convincing (read #1884 (comment 305479127)):
In 2016 , Playtester (a member of rAthena staff) posted and fixed multiple issue with Eska :
Issue : https://github.com/rathena/rathena/issues/1136
Fix : https://github.com/rathena/rathena/commit/2369f39854278a25a392bf641b629cf31aaa4c1a
Effect of Eska after this fix in 2016 :
Eska reduce ASPD by 25%
Eska decrease mvt speed by the same value than Decrease Agi (line 6263/6264 in status.c in this commit)
mvt speed change has been added at some point between 2011 and 2016 but i didn't found the commit about it sadly.
Eska set softMDEF to 90.
in Pre-RE : Eska increase softDEF variance by 100
Skills are not locked.
This is still the current implentation in rAthena
