[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Economizer]

If SCH can't use that staff weaponskill I'll be mad.

You'll probably get it natively like Retribution or Spirit Taker, but worst case, you'll have to sub a job capable of melee. Like Warrior, Monk, Paladin or White Mage.

I really hope that these animations were not wasted on low fTP, low mod% WSs. I hope these WSs shine and actually have a practical use and are still not overwhelmed by the 2006 era WSs. It would be such a waste of resources if these WSs are not amazing.

Hey Camate any chance there going to be a new expansion for Final Fantasy XI?

Camate, I shall give you my Chocobo's first born if you get those other weapon skill videos soon. :Q

I want to see if Taru does a backflip on any others! Especially dagger.

You won't have to wait long you can see them for yourself when they update the test server tomorrow.

Get your @$$ off of skyrim..my duchy earring only has one charge left. This is an emergency!

Apparently the English names of the weaponskills are having the same issue as the English names of Bloodpacts and Ready commands, so good luck testing stuff we can't use!

Actually, good luck even convincing a Development Bro that something weird is going on with the English names of new stuff rather than every single English client being installed incorrectly. While I agree with them that most people who play FFXI are stupid, I seriously doubt we're that stupid.

Maintenance is over, but it seems non-JP users cannot use the Weapon Skills once again because WSs have "." as description. Seems the same issue with the two new SMN bloodpacts.

It would be unreasonable maybe to expect a translation, but then why not leaving the original JP text and allow us to use these new things? Or put a general description like "Placeholder description n° 2" or something like that, no need to wait for localization team to translate it to allow us to test them...
This is frustrating

New WS look pretty cool, I like how they worked hard on making them all look unique and fit with the races. Mithra ones look awesome in particular.

Keep in mind they put quite a lot of work into these, that alone leads me to believe they won't be skill level unlocked and instead either be quest based like emps/relics or maybe linked to clears in VW. They won't simply hand these to you given recent updates.
