[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Camate]

Yes, all 14 new weapon skills will be on the test server once maintenance is completed tomorrow So you will be able to try each and every one of them out! Hope you are looking forward to it!

can you say whether they're intended to be gained from skill level or via quests? and whether they're going to fall under the general job-specific class of WS (ie: have to either be main or sub certain jobs to have access, like how thf only gets raging fists if it subs mnk or pup, or how rdm can't get vorpal blade without subbing war/drk/pld/blu/etc)?

Any pics of the club weapon skill would be awesome!!

Thanks!

(You know anything about club? >.>!!? Very curious about it, still secret secret? D: )

Test Server is cool, but it seems like forever the SCH update has been on it, and not added to the main server.

Truth be told i'm mostly interested to see if RDM gains access to any of them. Doubt it though.

Wow, all of these new weaponskills look amazing! I particularly love polearm (jump WS? Huzzah! Plus it just looks awesome), and sword looks pretty cool too. Staff? That looks awesome to beat people with.

I have a question though - are these job-specific? Because I only saw PLD on the sword one, and I'm hoping that BLU (and possibly RDM) will get in on the action too.

14 WS in total, 20 jobs so I'm sure multiple jobs share these. It'd stand to reason you'd need relatively high combat skill in order to use them, just putting them out of the use of any job lower than B skill.

Oh, they will be shared, but it remains to be seen if some jobs get them. RDM has higher sword skill then DRK, and actually uses swords, but it doesn't get access to a lot of sword weaponskills (in particular elemental sword WS). Also, I hope the H2H one isn't another Tornado Kick.. even though PUP can use it, you'd need Footwork and MNK kick attack gear to make decent use of it.

Footwork doesn't have any effect on weapon skills, other than TP return because of the higher delay.

It does affect TP return more than that.
With Footwork active you get FULL tp return from the first TWO hits of a WS, instead than just the first one like it normally happens.
