Eureka Weapons for GNB/DNC and why it's needed.

[LeoLupinos]

Elemental bonus.

Are we getting Eureka weapons for GNB and DNC? And if not, what will they do about the problem of GNB and DNC being forever the worst because they can't have Elemental Bonus on the weapon?

For the ones that likes to pass the time in Eureka and with their friends in BA this is a issue, because the Elemental Bonus on weapon is HUGE, and having this limitation of new Jobs will be a bad thing for the perpetuity of Eureka.

They can even add a copy of the AF 80 weapon as a Lv 70 (ilv 300) for 100 Eureka Fragment and the issue will be gone. (As a cheap bandaid method, of course)

@Edit: Update on information.

As of today when I speak to Gerolt, as a GBN, it says "Create or Augment Eureka gear. (Gunbreaker)" in the first option, but when I select it, Gerolt simply closes the dialog interface.

All of five people will be doing Eureka in 5.0, but this is ... a very minor issue? I could see it warranting a band-aid fix.

You have no idea how many people will be doing that content once the nerfs settle in with the new xpac and people have gotten though most of the leveling/main story content. Now whether or not the eureka weapons will be relevant other than for glamour is another story. I suspect we'll simply have a new relic and the older ones even with their bonus will not be useful but we'll have to wait and see. If more Eureka based zones are added perhaps they might be useful.

I might be mistaken but I don't think SE has added relics for new jobs for past relics so these will probably never see Eureka counterparts.

Why would someone do old outdated Eureka when new even Grindier Eureka is available in the First Shard?

[HyoMinPark]

Considering that they have never added a previous relic for new jobs before, I find it unlikely that DNC and GNB will receive Eureka weapons. DRK, AST, and MCH didn't get Zodiac weapons. RDM and SAM didn't get Anima weapons. So, following this established precedent, DNC and GNB won't get Eureka weapons.

Eureka weapons are Relic weapons in the end. Purple icons and all.

They've never added relics to new classes in old content since their max level is above that of a relic and would purely be for glamour.

So just let Eureka die quietly.

[Crystal_Raven]

Just let eureka die off.

[TheMightyMollusk]

There'll be a new version in a few patches. Just wait for it.

[Doozer]

Just let eureka die off.

I came here to say this but you beat me to it. Eureka was a mistake that we should learn from.

[Kurando]

Considering the final stage of the Eureka weapons don't actually look that different on all the jobs, would it really be that difficult to slap the glow on DNC and GNB weapons? Not saying it would happen, but it's not like the Anima weapons that I thought all had unique designs in the end.
