[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Sonshou]

Sounds a bit too suicidal. But I think basing it on avatar HP could be ok. Means you want to open the fight with it before avatar is wounded, but that risks you stealing hate. The disappearing though is a bad idea.

I make this up having the intention that this WS is for use in pt, and I think it will work even if just a summoner burn pt. If you use it on solo fight would be suicidal, but if summoner burn pt, unless the mob or NM use AoE move right after you use this WS, else I assume it is pretty safe. Given that you got a tank or your party member's avatar is tanking.

P.S. I am glad that you take an interest in my post. I think lots of people been skip it or ignore it.

I think most will take interest in your post. So far one of the better takes to the new ws's. I'm not one to party much so I can't agree with the party ws idea, but the condition idea is pretty brilliant.

I would like to see a blu ws that actually affected our next blu spell dmg/effects.

Added Effect: Lowers enemy's defense/magic defense to zero on next blu spell (ignores defense)

I know this isn't really a debuff, but I can dream. Another magical ws that dealt pure dmg instead of draining would be pretty interesting as well.

Make the WS open a level 3 skillchain and you've just made the most overpowered useful Blue Mage Sword WS ever. It might even stand up to the Empyrean WS.

Edit: Actually, while I'm here:

White Mage should get a Club WS (the mythical improvement to Hexa Strike perhaps? Or maybe something else like a utility skill?) that aside from using STR and MND mods, uses Healing Magic skill as a modifier!

There are many kinds of parties. If you are in a party killing normal monsters, then it is rare to even have tanks since most think normal monsters are weak. If you are in a party killing NMs, it would seem unlikely that you build TP efficiently. (Since you'd have to be eating the 1k AOEs)

I could very well accept your idea for additional damage to NMs, but then SMN would also need a JA or trait that builds TP faster. (For example 5 TP gained per hit from pet)

Because as it is now, you'd either not have a tank, or you would not have TP. (Unless of course we count COR regain and regain atmas or voidwatch items). But then we'd need such things in new content as well.

MNK WS should be between Asuran and Vsmite not above Vsmite otherwise spharai would beat Veret as damage weapon and still being the best Defensive h2h and thats not the point I think. I liek the idea of utility WS not damage WS.
I have no time now but I will try to think about some later.

[MojoJojo]

Unless it can beat, or come real close to empy ws, or add some serious utility, it will probably be ignored. Making it a rather serious trial is fine by me, but if all i get is some 'meh' ws it's just going to collect dust with all my other ws's that don't do a helluvalot.

Yes, but not everyone can get an Empyrean weapon for every job they play. I know of Red Mages that use Daggers for example, because they don't have Almace (and are trying to Dual Wield so they don't have the newest Sword WS).

I am back from a nice Thanksgiving break where I ate way too much, and I have some goodies for you all!

I have a couple of images of some of the new weapon skills that will be implemented. They look pretty impressive if I do say so myself Once all the testing has been finalized, we’ll be putting them onto the test server for you all to try out.

Without further ado...
