New weaponskills needed.

[Krystal]

I don't know about you guys but i'm noticing a serious lack on new weapon-skills even though we can increase our skills with swords,axes,ect...would be nice to see some new ws's for the post 75 bracket. sure there are a few..but not nearly enough.

[TearValerin]

+1 post for someone spamming the forums much?

Empyrean WS don't count?

[Kirana]

New weaponskills were added when the level cap was raised to 80 (for skill level 300~ish). New weaponskills were also added in the 85 cap update, on the empyrean/WoE magian weapons.

However, I do agree that a new series of Weaponskills should be added based on skillups for the 99 cap update.

Would be nice if RNGs got aoe weapon skill.

not really since there type weapon reliant. now correct me if i'm wrong but what happened to the nice little words" Sword skill increased 0.3 points
players learned <insert weaponskill here>"

since when do we need to own a certain type of weapon to use a a new weaponskill? i mean a special one. not the common ones. now as i said before..correct me if i'm wrong.

Didn't we JUST get that like.... the first update post 75 cap?

[Greatguardian]

Well we did get new WS at 290-300 skill. I'd imagine more are in store for the level 95 increase already. As it stands, each weapon class has received 1 new WS per update. That's pretty darn nice, all things considered. Mythic WS also required equipping certain weapons and performing quests to unlock, as did WSNM weaponskills. The only difference between those and Empyrean WS is that you have to fulltime the Emp-WS weapon to use the WS. But those weapons (WoE and true Emp) are pretty boss for their slots anyways so it's not like that's a huge hindrance to anyone.

Instead of new Weapon skills why not a tier 4 skill chain

[Krystal]

bah..okay..i fail..tireness is making me make bad topic posts...>.<

I would love to make Cosmic Elucidation with multi-Empyrean skillchains.

I'd like to see Omnislash and or Climhazzard in 90-99 for swords. Seriously, if the final sword WS isn't one of those two, that's dumb.

This isn't FF7, it's FFXI. |: It'd be dumb to put anything remotely FF7 in it, (cait ssith included. >.>)

Cait Sith predates FFVII, Tear.

It was an enemy in II and IV, as well as a summon in VI. If you played the original, American release you know him as Stray.

Also:

Getting access to Cosmic Elucidation would be awesome.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Skill levels haven't increased enough to warent another WS yet.

lol it's all good. It's the FFXI Withdrawls setting in :p

[Ryozen]

I'd like to see Nad Punch and or Groin Kick in 90-99 for H2H. Seriously, if the final H2H WS isn't one of those two, that's dumb.

*makes dramatic crack withdrawl face* must.......get....my.....FFXI.....fix!*/spazfit :P

[Greatguardian]

I'd be careful with those spazfits. I pulled a muscle in my neck yesterday and it still hurts like a mofo. I can't look up or to my right without extreme muscle pain, yay painkillers. Also, spazzing may cause cancer, or something.

Edit: On topic, Knockback effect on a weaponskill or two would be an extremely interesting, if not potentially broken, mechanic.

*starts getting the shakes*...i can't do it man...i need my FFXI! quick! hand me a server...ANY SERVER!..i'll take it..just a little...no one will know..........:P

ya but on topic....i would love to see a level 99 ws that runs along the lines of epic as the FFX over drive that auron used with his flaming tornado...:P

So far there has been 2 sets of new ws's. at 290-300 skill and the Empyrean ws's technically. So this coming update we should see new ws's based on skill levels. Maybe at level 375-380 skill.

It would be nice to see some high end ws's based off other Final Fantasy games. Some already exist, Ex. Final Heaven from Tifa FFVII. It would be nice to see others like Highwind, Omnislash, Meteorain, Great Gospel, All Creation, Royal Shock, Riot Blade, Mirager, Tiger Break, Spin Edge, Shadow Fang, Backblade, Star Prism, Sabresoul, X-Meteor, Grand Lethal, Climhazzard, Dragons Crest, Luna, Demi Shock. There is lots more, but to name some.

Great argument. It'd be dumb to put in the most beloved sword attacks in the franchise to finish off swords in a game of the same series because you posted some emoticons. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways. Boy, that was a close one.

Edit: To add to Dew's list I'd also like Stock Break.

That is not a real skillchain, it just happens cuz you take too long. That triggers even if he dont make any sc before it -.-

besides there is no such thing as an empyrean skillchain XD
