Jobs on strange Equipment

[Visari]

Stuff like Ungur Boomerang its THF/NIN but it has 8mp on it.
or better yet Gaudy Harness under 49 mp you get refresh on brd/bst and those jobs don't have any MP or castable spells on their own.
Many more pieces of armor has stats like this as well and would love to know what they were thinking (or smoking) like giving bst so many hand to hand weapons but no skill in it at all.

BST/NIN equipped with gaudy and 2 rune axes was a beautiful thing, only needed 1mp for the regen to proc so you got 10hp/tic (5hp per axe) and shadows.

Gonna call you out on this one. The harness back when I leveled my BST from 50 to 75 was a god send for /whm solo. The Auto-Refresh killed a ton of downtime and made it possible that I'd always be able to drop a Cure III on myself in a pinch along with any Na spells I needed without having to rest near as often as I wanted to. Some of the JSE bodys were garbage but when they made that thing, it was worth the time I spent farming the damn thing.


Also here's something that made me roll my eyes. We all knew by the time ToAU came out with the new jobs being BLU PUP and COR but while COR & BLU got access to crimson gear which was pretty neat, I never understood why BLUs were not allowed to use their trademark curved blades from Sky and Fafnir being of course Seiryu's Sword and Ridill. Now you can say that they thought Ridill would overpower the job but honestly at that time, Ridill was already on the downslide from being the end all be all of swords a DD would desire.

Hell I hardly even use my Ridill anymore myself but it's nice to mess around with. Seiryu's Sword would have been an amazing weapon for BLU and them not being able to equip it was pure BS imo.

Kraken Club I noticed also isn't equippable by the newer jobs either... Ok Se. >_>

Worked that wrong, but I meant SAM doesnt have any natural skill like DRK doesnt either.

[Vortex]

Roundal earring being equipable by DRG and PUP, jobs that have NO healing spells whatsoever. not even enough to support it. yet SCH is missing on it.. as well as BRD who can actualyl GET a good use out of it depending on sub and gear but is also not on it.


riddle me this.

pup on anything... particularly below 75... why do pups get magey type gear rather than anything that would actually boost it's melee capabilities in any way? at least I have gear waiting for it at 90...

PUP was originally Necromancer, which was a mage class.

@DRK on shield:

It's obvious.

@In General:

Why is it jobs that can benefit from something, especially if its their main form of some way of providing to a party either through cures or what have you are never on the gear it could use? For example, DNC could benefit from Homam..quite a bit back before the cap raise and the "gear in mind for DNC and SCH" never came to fruition.

Did they say that? It must have been quite early in the conception stage, because Puppetmaster (as puppetmaster) is a recurring core element to much of Whitegate's storyline. I find it hard to believe that they made skill adjustments before they even knew what kind of class they would be.

@DRK on shield:

It's obvious.

No? It has its uses, but I doubt extremely that the dev team intended for any of them.

[Harukusan]

PUP was not released as a Necromancer. It was released as a Puppetmaster. Do you not see the flaw in that argument? lol

You may want to reread it:

PUP was originally Necromancer, which was a mage class.

Before it was released as PUP, it was being designed as Necromancer, which was a mage class. Their excuse for not using it was "undead out in the day/power scaling during x,y,z hours". The way they seem to have set jobs is with select pieces, all jobs are just thrown in a bracket of armor types, so they'd have to go back and redo PUP's armor selection which would have delayed ToAU, besides the focus is your automation and it suffers the same fate almost all jobs does lower levels anyway.

PUP has some good pieces thrown around through the levels, it can even wear Usu gear.

BLM, BRD, SMN, and SCH on RUNE CHOPPER!
