SMN adjustments....seriously?

[Karbuncle]

Hm, I tried modifying a sheet to estimate it but my numbers are off (have like a 2.9k average lol). That's about where I expect it would be however, what is your set for it, or same as one you posted earlier?

Food was RCB and dia 2 was on, that's only buffs used.

My set is rather weak compared to the "Demonstraton" posted earlier. I use...

Gerra's Staff/Pole/xx/???
Maat's/Feud/Brutal/Aesir
Praeco/Errant/Rajas/Spiral
Potentia/Pipilaka/IN+11/Nebula

Overall, the sets not perfect, But its not horrible. I really want Rubeus Slacks , with 5/5, This WS Could be quite some fun. Especially with a 90/95/99 HVerglemir or (lol)Claustrum. Honestly, How "easy"(Read: Time consuming but doable) relics are, I've given some thought to a Claustrum >____>.

Food was Yellow Curry Bun, but was /WAR. Carbuncle's Favor is enough to keep me alive there >_> With a HEaling Ruby II now and again

Is it bad that relics are such a joke to get now that I'm actually doing this for poops and giggles?
Thought so

[Karbuncle]

Not really, In my eyes, its a good things, Those relic that used to be condemned as "Wastes of time" are now less so because its a goal you can work for.

[Malamasala]

Not a good goal though. Unless I've missed something those level 99 upgrades give you.

[Neisan_Quetz]

Either weapon runs into a similar issue as twash imo if MP is an issue. Either you use the better WS for damage or the weaker one for utility/ODD.

[Karbuncle]

Yah, But at level 90, Gates of Tartaru's will have WS Damage +40%, so At least it won't be super weak. The WS itself isn't terrible, and your ODD is always active.

MP Shouldn't be an issue :P, well, In VW...

I think it'd be a good goal as long as you have fun with it. Thats all you can ask for in the game of 0/300 Drop rates and No progression, Relics/emps are like, the only weapon in the game that give an easy feeling of progression anymore.

Fun:

CRYSTAL STAFF rare/ex
DMG:98 Delay:360 HP+100 MP+100 INT+20 Accuracy+15 Attack+15 Haste+3%
LV99 WAR MNK WHM BLM RDM BST BRD SMN SCH

For all you SMN melee enthusiasts. This thing looks badass. INT+20 is a Shattersoul mod... Acc/atk, and 3% Haste which allows Summoner to cap Haste without the need for Ninirta's Sash or Nashira Gloves, Leaving Nashira gloves open to a better Melee Hand.

Also, new WS Belt:

VOIDWATCH BELT (15) rare/ex
DEF:9 STR+8 DEX+8 VIT-5 AGI-5 INT+8 MND-5
LV99 All Jobs

Nice to see that that weapon has WAR on it too... would be interesting to see what sort of WS numbers you can hit with it on WAR, since you can hit 5k in abyssea on SMN. Especially on mobs weak to blunt, though SE did say WAR was going to get an ability to swap weapon damage type.

But yes, it will open up a whole new playstyle for melee SMN, making it easier to cap Haste and acc so they can concentrate on better stats.

Not to mention it's a great macro piece for casting buffs on lots of people.

[Malamasala]

Looks OK. But it should have been AH-able so people could buy it. The stats are really not for most people, and it will be a weapon people toss, while others can't get their hands on it.

[Karbuncle]

It'll obviously come from the Crystal Dragon, But still, if its handled Voidwatch Style, I hate SE, because you're right, that staff will be tossed 9/10.
