[vedder]

just starting a thread to discuss the new items from this update

one the ones to catch my eye was the quickcast item and the quadruple attack piece, any others that caught yours or opinions on ones seen? post away

[Geabrielle]

Avesta Bangles! +15 ele skill, enfeeb skill and dark skill, mag acc +6(7?)

They'll give a little extra help in the spell department. I mainly mention these because I have a couple other jobs that can use them also. more skill for drain/aspir yes please!

[Dart]

I was too busy abusing the 100% crit dmg that will probably be fixed with this emergency maint to look up new stuff. I'm looking forward to what I find.

[vedder]

ooo 100% crit damage...... sexy.......

22 goes at augmenting Adaman body and the best result was....
Dbl atk+1
Store tp+3
subtle+3

and btw the other 20 odd synths the best i had was Dbl atk+1 and 15 were HQ synths too so SE saying the Sky gear could be equip to af3+2 is total bs.

[vedder]

buddy augmented a armada body for someone an guy scored DA+2 and subtle blow +2

my opinion is augs are crap, not worth my time until i see proof of it being so

them jing hose an greaves look hawt for caladbolg but id need to work out the maths before id give em a total vote considering what theyd be replacing (af3+2 legs/feet) if i were to use em (fstr really)

accursed belt looks good too but not sure if the stp on goading/aces trumps for me atm

wasnt there another set of feet gear with 7vit 10acc an 3 haste?

[Urteil]

APATHY GORRRGET.


FUCK YOU RED MAGES, AND FUCK YOU BREAK.

WEE.

[Dart]

couple pieces look good for situational use. thanks jar

Not needed, though. We already cap gear haste and the belt we have that does it includes Store TP too.

[vedder]

yea its all sideways stuff but the apathy gorget might be great for torclever

[Kagato]

I'm really interested in those pants that give double and triple atk as well as haste. Too bad it's 1 less haste from Ace's Hose.

Gorgets are still better

i hate you so have fun buying them off the AH im not telling where they are from unless someone else asks lol

[Gotterdammerung]

saw a couple of new higher HP + pieces.

[vedder]

what are ppls opinions on feet/legs for tp an ws(torcleaver naturally) now? im really set on keeping bale legs +2 on for str(fstr)an attack but feet idk, the str5 vit 5 DA2 ones vs bale +2 vs the 7vit 10acc ones vs ares, and tp legs are getting tougher to decide on as well, aces vs homam vs blitzer with haste/acc (or haste /DA) vs calmecacs

just gettn worried bout sacrificing acc so often now

[Dart]

outside abyssea i'm not seeing how bale+2 is being beaten since your fstr won't be capped so worrying about vit mod is pretty pointless. Inside is a different matter. It's all about what atma combo you're using, but with cruor buffs I'm inclined to lean toward going with the new gear for vit stuffs with torcleaver.

tp set up hasn't changed (I'll argue with jar until the world ends about scorpion queen being better than plague!)

[Dart]

also yes, gorgets are universally better for 2handers.
