Limbus adjustments for the future?

[Leonlionheart]

Ok, I like doing old content every once in a while for a piece I never had at 75, that still has some resemblance of relevance.

But for pete's sake, can we get content that we haven't been doing for the last 3~7 years?

Abyssea was GREAT because it was new, and now it's like 8 months old and we're tired of it. Why the hell wouldn't we be tired of Dynamis/Limbus/Etc?

(Actually this is a little hypocritical because I'm doing Salvage and loving it. However that's because I had never really done it successful when it came out ;-;)

Salvage biggest down fall was the drop rates which was sad it could had been a great event. Going weeks before getting anything that people really wanted or everyone being after the same useful pieces. Then it made you pick between doing nysul or assult points. The whole tag system was poorly planned. The low drop rate was enough to ensure people not blowing though it.

As for limbus gear I think blu only decent haste feet options are homam and dusk+1. Thf might only have the same options. Hands you can get other pieces for thf and blu, ocelot same stats as homam or dusk, dusk+1 which the +1s are dirt cheap. Dusk+1 is wasted on blu if you have homam feet and +2 head and body with twilight belt and upgrading from NQ dusk gloves or other haste +3% hands. Thf I'm not sure but might beable to hit the 26% haste cap with out the feet. Thats just Omega gear I.m not really sure whats better for mages anymore really only took my rdm up just to finish a job I started on off. I don't even rember whats on nash without looking it up.

People don't do Limbus because all of the gear is now completely obsolete for virtually every job that can equip it. There's so much gear that has the same or more haste and better stats than just a few ACC/MP/HP so nobody cares.

As far as I was concerned, Nashira hands for still good for Avatar Perpetuation and feet are still good for maximum Summoning Skill, while the legs are good for haste. I don't even know who uses Nashira Body anymore except for mages with a Dark Magic Build.

Homam legs are the best piece for fast cast in that slot, and if you're a BLU, PLD, DRK, THF/NIN or DRG/Mage...bluntly put, you'd be an idiot not to have them by now. Homam Feet are still BLU's best TP feet because they lack any other option outside Dusk Feet+1 (I refused to wear Aurore Feet and I still would on any other job). THF can maximize feet as well once you can make some +2 gear build around 4/5 set proc.

I also hope we can get to do Synergy augments with Homam/Nashira like what was done with Abjuration gear (and salvage gear in the future). It could spice things up a bit.

Leon, regardless of previous endgame content getting adjustments, aren't we getting new content anyway? This is about Limbus being accessible to newer players who want to maximize their characters.

Please don't add staggers to Limbus, Salvage, Einherjar, ZNMs, that should have been something that was Abyssea specific I think it's silly that we can stagger stuff in Dynamis.

If they defile my precious Limbus with their drunken staggering, I will... I will... make a very strongly worded post!

[Quetzacoatl]

I agree with this, since it's not necessary to add the stagger system to Limbus.

[Quetzacoatl]

Worth looking into - but they may want to make it instanced. Not being able to enter a Limbus zone because someone else is there kinda stinks. Made worse by the fact that most of Limbus can be soloed.

It's not an issue now, but if they made Limbus relevant to 90-99, it could become one.

Hmmm, good point. I'm not even sure if it's even possible for SE to do that, though...

Dusk +1 trumps Homam in every way, unless you are skilling up.

Attack+5 > Accuracy+6 now. The rest of the gear is pretty lol.

Honestly I think Limbus is fine as it is. Maybe add newer harder versions of omega/ultima for newer gear similar to the new bosses in dynamis, but other than that I don't think there's much you can add to an already decent event, other than buffs to nashira/homam stuff.

The way I would do it is like this:

Wilhelm tells you that he has heard of new previously unseen biotechnological weapons. He wants samples, and gives you an item that grants access to a hardmode version of Limbus. The new high level versions of Ultima and Omega drop items that grant access to a new super boss in the basement which drops items to upgrade Homam and Nashira. Trade the appropriate item and armor piece to Wilhelm and he will have it upgrded for you into the new armor.

Also, reskinned Nashira and Homam would be nice. e.g. black and silver Homam with a new name instead of just Homam+1.

If that's the case, why is there little to no market for them?

As far as adding new bosses as well as adding synergy augments to Homam/Nashira, I'd like to see ATT+ augments on Homam now that you said that. ;P

No market? Because people are stupid. Seriously stupid.

"GAIZ I AM RUNNING SLOW SO I"M GANNA USE WORSE GEAR CUZ I AM INCONVENIENCED, NO WORRIES DOUGH, I NID DIS ACCERCY FOR DANCING EDGE" Yeah, I implied that people full time Homam feet.

Anyway every SAM should have Dusk +1, and every DNC should have it too. That should be a big enough market just for the hands. The feet are pretty much relegated to BLU and THF, and like I said people are offended by movement speed -
