Oh look more swords blu cant use! >.>

[Volkai]

eh? who's whining?

This is all the whining (as I perceive it) in the thread:

Fresh from the dat mining..... WTF SE why do brd drg cor and dnc get to use and not blu???

Yall in the dev team need your heads checked!

This stuff is really QQ worthy. Never thought i'd get upset over this...

Oh PFFT! Ok BS I'm calling shinanigans on this, since when the hell did SE care about what type of sword we are using? I mean hell when they give RDM an AF3 that adds no native DD stats for a gear that in translation "One who uses a tuck style weapon" I mean that is almost so lolable it hurts. And also, we are using weapons that have no curve to them being completely not what the BLU is from its opening desctiption as a job class. I mean in all seriousness.... since when did they actually care enough to give us weapons that fit our job class. They still both do the same type of damage, so what does it even matter. SE are you telling me you are going to stick to this crap about a tuck style weapon not being usable by BLU's and yet you can't come up with shimitar weapons that a BLU can actually use? Aside from Isador....? Like Tyrfing for instance.... why in the hell can't that model be a BLU's almace model, or something. I mean if you're going to be such a stickler for weapon models, how about you go the full f*cking mile instead of jogging for a block and fetching a Big Gulp slurpie at the Seven Eleven.

Yeah, all that's true but why didn't they just make these be swords that were of a type BLU could equip? That's the real question... sup with that?

SE seems to have had alot of trolling us in the gear this update. Methinks they are being sneaky.

eh? who's whining?

I was just pointing out interesting comparisons about the sword... IF blu could use it. As you say, its a nice sword.

I play the job differently for different situations, so actually I do rely on melee dps sometimes w/out Almace.
MP has been a significant point for my galka blu when not in abyssea. There have been a number of solo situations where just a little more mp would have made the difference in the fight.

It is just as easy for a dev to put the stats on a different sword. I don't believe lore is why the devs gave it to other jobs and not blu. They either didn't consider blu because of the lore as you say, or they didn't want blu to have this particular combination. Your opinion and mine are equally valid unless they actually explain the decision... so relax a bit.

I think you actually meant to respond to someone else. I'm interested in the sword, but in no ways do I feel cheated because blu didn't get it.. If I want to toy w/ it that badly I'll level a job that can use it. :P

I guess this part:

----------------------------------------------------------

Wasn't clear enough to denote it wasn't targeted at you specifically. My points toward your post were above it which is why your quotes have a response right below them above the dashed line.

As Volkai pointed out there is a lot of whining going on in this thread.

Well sure, Lore says we can't have access to the rapiers (nice as they may be) .... But where's my BLU equipable Seiryu's Sword and Ridill? Falchions both.

[katz]

We get access to the best sword out there (Almace). Who cares?

When I got to the NM Rabbit Trial and Team up with a full alliance of 18 people looking for it, I suddenly came to the conclusion that 18 x 50 Briaus Helms that dropped 1 or 2 per run was an awful lot of work and time waiting for people to finish with the NMs. This was only to get to the first stage of the Almac. Yes I care that there are other swords made available for it.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Because all 18 of those people will be working on the nms at the exact same time as you? it's not like you can't pop more than one briareus now... the former 3 don't take long to kill unless you're doing something horribly wrong.

They fought the same NMs at the same time I did to get to it. Even with 3 briareus popped thats still only min 3 max 6 drops per fight. KI Farming 18 times for 3 popsets and I still will need time for my sword. Im not saying Im not getting the Almac but merely what do I use in the mean time.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Isador/Mageblade are fairly easy to get until you finish Totm swords/Almace/WoE+2 Sword.

[Scuro]

ya I'm rock'n a Shamshir +2 STR sword and an Isador, and they do me good, at least until I can get my almace. Its just so disappointing that SE can't give us, who would actually use such a good sword, the ability to use such a weapon as the Sagsinger..... SE, waita rock that troll face bro.... Giving RDM no native DD abilities, no AF3 gear that even so much as ball park gives RDM DD stats.... and yet you give them a Sagsinger..... Waita go!

P.S
Volkai its not whining when your stating the obvious ignorance, K thanks.

[Rearden]

You'll get an Almace before you ever get Arch DL drops.

Just sayin'.

It could be worst, you could be a job with no mp that only gets mage gear every update like pup. I agree with so many points on this issue about SE being quite ignorant with their gear, but I will say this, SE decides to create a weapon based on lore first, then they stat it ou based on that lore, and finally decides who gets it. Thats how they've done every weapon in the game so far and it has caused some conflicts, for instance Gungnir is the name for Odin's spear but when they made Odin in Toau they didn't give him Gungnir they gave him a new spear called Valkyrie's Fork, which does make since seeing as Odin's army consisted of warriors called valkyries, but all in all SE is about trying to find names for alot of gear that their culture doesn't know so much about. I will always agree with anyone who questions why some jobs get certain useless gear and not useful gear IE: Drg gets joytoy but not Hauby (before lvl cap raise), but with weapons they have always gone with this lore first mentality. I know its sucks and these news weapons could be quite useful on blu and SE should take more consideration into the items they put into games but its not likely to happen IE: new set gear, PUP yet again gets great access to Mag Att, MP, and all the stats a mage would kill for.......with no native mp or spells.....Good Job SE.
