[dev1041] Relic Armor Upgrades

[Seriha]

Curious why not locking enfeebling to a set is okay, but enhancing others is. Old hat argument from me saying our spell duration boosts should've come independent of a full set (like Composure working on everyone from the start), but yeah...

Unlikely the set will change at this point. And from what we've seen of Relic+2, for now it's basically continuations of existing stats with a few curveballs thrown in here and there. The body would be a nice upgrade for us since it's either Glamor Jupon's piddly +3 or a rare/expensive VW body for the slot. Just hope that whatever the required trade in item is isn't too rare.

Because the two primary spells we cast on others are static effects that previously could not be enhanced by gear. I agree that such an improvement would be better suited to being fixed independent of gear, but as things currently stand the gear fix is sufficient.

You are just trying to shoot down other people with single sentences to show everyone how much you don't care about this job.

I would not be in here brow-beating troglodytes if I were anything other than passionate about my favorite job.

I'll give you a touche and possibly and 2nd touche, but I still think it was handled poorly. What i've seen of new relics is the same as what Seriha reports. It still feels like we got left out of the club for set bonuses that are awesome, just like we got left off the list of upgrades past 75 that were awesome.

We are supposed to be well past the updates that should bring everyone in line with 75. Instead we are getting upgrades like Temper that are basic functionality of a Warrior. WAR gets double attack at 25, it gets subbed at level 50. Even if you divide RDM level by 3 to represent WAR/WHM/BLM you should still get it at 75.

This is old content. Where is the new content for RDM? When are we getting to actually be balanced? What does the next set of upgrades do to fix this? I expect everything that is in the new relic set to be actually worth acquiring. I don't think it would be appropriate to add upgrades to these items just so that we replace them again or never use them in the first place.
