Seigan

Obtained: Samurai Level 35
Recast Time: 1:00
Duration: 5:00

Grants a bonus to Third Eye when using two-handed weapons.

Notes/Description

While Seigan is in effect, the recast time for Third Eye is halved.
Seigan also adds a chance of Third Eye to remain in effect after anticipating an attack, instead of wearing off after just one. The chance of remaining in effect seems to decrease over the course of Third Eye's duration, with the highest chance being available immediately after Third Eye's use.
Seigan also adds the possibility to Counter an attack along with anticipating it.
- Third Eye Is not required to Counter attacks, but vastly increases the chances. It is possible to receive a Counter while Seigan is active and Third Eye is not, but it is quite rare compared to how often it happens out of "Anticipated" attacks.
- ~~Zanshin attack rate increases the chance of countering an anticipated attack, this is only active while Samurai is set as Main Job. (Source: 7/12/11 Update)~~ Removed in Horizon.
- It is possible to gain weapon skill off of a Seigan counter.
Hasso and Seigan do not stack. Hasso will overwrite Seigan and vice-versa. Hasso and Seigan share a recast timer on Horizion.
Like Weapon Bash or Hasso, this Job Ability requires a two-handed weapon.
Recast times for Ninjutsu, Songs, and Magic altogether are increased by 50% and casting times are doubled while Seigan is active.
