[dev1026] Voidwatch stage 2 and above

[Elexia]

The weapons look really really cool. But I'll have to wonder, with some lament, if this means the Empyrean weapons have reached their piques?

Hopefully, time to move on.

[Greatguardian]

I don't understand why people seem to think an upgradeable tier of Ultimate weapons that's only been around for less than a year is suddenly going to be obsoleted by these shinies. If we're going to talk about "time to move on", let's bring Relics in here shall we?

Short version: There is absolutely no way that Empyreans will be left behind in this or any other update.

[Sparthos]

New glowing effects doesn't change the fact that most Empyrean WS are the top dogs in terms of damage or utility.

[Alhanelem]

Nice dagger, should make it equippable by all jobs since the loot system sucks.

except WHM. WHMs are not allowed to use edged weapons.

[Mightyg]

GKT: Latent Effect: Tachi: Ageha still sucks.

we are getting 5 levels next VU give us a break. 5 level transformed AV from impossible to kill to easy to kill. Anything that (supposedely) requires 18 to kill now requires 6-10 next VU.

Alexander is what transformed AV from impossible to kill to easy to kill, not a handful of levels. Unless you think you can walk in and beat it down at 90 without PD.

Empy weapons and gear helps too. Imagine trying to fight it in full usukane or something?

[Malamasala]

Abyssea has caused all the SMNs to QQ, but my SMN with crap gear can out DD my WAR on mobs like Lord Asag (WAR being weakened most of the time doesn't help much).

Uhm, are you playing my little pony or something? I haven't seen a single SMN that didn't praise Abyssea for being the best content ever. SMNs in general just complain about "No new attack BPs since 75", "Wards are mainly weaker than anything else and pointless", "Spirits sucks", "Not much help for the melee SMN" and so on.

All wards post 75 have been positively surprising though. I actually took the moment to ask my empyrean wielding NIN friend if the enfire helped much, and he said it doubled his damage (probably not on the double damage procs though).

Nope. Alexander was released before the level cap increase. People don't realise how 5 levels increse your damage output.

It was both really, the few that tried couldnt kill it before Alex effect wore i think? The level increase made it possible due to the ability to destroy it a lot quicker.

People were farming AV at 75 using Alexander.
