[dev1049] New weapon skills

[FrankReynolds]

I don't understand.

A while ago you're saying not having merit WS=gimp, and not playing the job to it's fullest potential. I just offered solution to ungimp it.

Yes you can argue that empyrean WS takes longer to get and not everyone have it etc, but most of the ppl in this game also only has 1~2 empyrean weapon since many ppl doesn't have a lot of play time to get 20 empyrean weapons for 20 job too, and 1~2 empy WS is less than 3 merit WS. In that sense their none-empyrean job are not playing to fullest potential too, I never seen anyone complain on SE forum that empyrean WS should be available to everyone and only takes 1 day to unlock. For me empyrean weapon is also a limit to pretty much 99% of ppl since 99% of ppl won't have time to get them all. A lot of ppl have many DD job leveled/geared and no empy(nor time to do an empy), never seen them QQ. A lot of ppl have multiple job leveled/geared and only play their best job with empy, never seen them QQ that they can't play their none-empy DD too.

You said you're doing an empy, chances are by the time you finish it you won't use merit WS ever again. Merit WS is not there to replace the old WS just like how empy WS isn't there to replace old WS, you should treat merit WS like a bonus, not like a must have.

If you wanna treat it like a must have, I can say empy weapons are must have too, and most ppl doesn't have more than 3. So why QQ about having only 3 merit WS?

Nope. you sorta missed the point, but I'm no master telecaster, so it may be my fault.

Most people don't have empy weapons.

Everyone will have 3 of these new WS which are for the most part close to empy WS.

No one will want you coming on a job that doesn't have 1 of the 2.



Some people have a bunch of Jobs that they have dumped millions of merits / gear /time into. They shouldn't suddenly be considered gimp because they can't put 5 merits into them.

Again, don't get this confused. I have or will have Weapons / WS for all the jobs I'm really into fairly quickly. But if I had different priorities (think melee mage, ranged jobs, Beast Master, Dark, etc.) I would be extremely pissed right now given my setup. As it is, I'm just concerned because I may get into one of those jobs next (corsair is looking really fun ATM).

A whole bunch of other crap 2 posts down..

OK, I have all 20 jobs to 95. I have gone out and earned perfect gear for every one of them. I am now just starting on my quest to build all of the Relics, all of the mythics, and all of the empys. In the mean time, I have put equal effort into all of my jobs. How is limiting me to only 3 cool WS not a problem? (encase you didn't notice I'm doing a hypothetical here. A lot of people won't level all 20, or need all the Relics etc, before they run into an issue with not being able to merit what they want.)
