Relic Adjustments - The balancing act

[Asraa]

One can only hope that relics are receiving much more then simply base dmg increase. I'm wishfully thinking that the 1.5x-3x dmg proc rate and ws dmg will be increased with the 95 version.

Can anyone at SE confirm the validity of this information?

I'm not at SE, but yes, that's what the moogle on the test server says in some languages. Including Japanese.

Given that those languages are always more reliable than the English translations for some reason, there is no reason to doubt this.

Does anyone know what relics get? I know that mythics get occ att 2-3 times aftermath at 300 TP so what do relics get? I hope it is something substantial since relic aftermaths for the most part were weak to begin with. Honestly and I have felt this from the day I finished my sword, honestly Excalibur has never been on top, company sword had higher base DMG at 75, burtang aside, we jump to 4 years later we have a sword made in Almace that is instantly on top.

I know that it is a money making scheme, that the best weapons are in abyss, so buy abyss, but haven't we all paid enough monthly already to see relics and mythics shine?

Please?

As far as I know, the relic trials cannot be undertaken at the moment. Superficially (from looking at the stats at the moogle), relics just receive a base damage increase. I'd bet there's more hidden WS damage+X% tacked on there.

What relics get?

What they always get, the carrot moves a little closer, but it's still on that f'ing stick dangling in front of our faces.

Hey Phraust, nice to see a familiar face. Yea it's a tease, and I hate a tease in life, in women, in everything.

What does it take to get some Dev attention in this place?

[Asraa]

It would be nice to get some Dev attention, but I fear the release of any information regarding future relics enhancements could cause a price spike in currency. Well at least currency is cheap atm, so build them before SE buffs relics if ever.

hmm... why was this thread in my side bar when all the posts are old?

Gungnir's Aftermath needs to be changed from Shock Spikes to Enthunder. The potency of Enthunder should be proportionate to your Wyvern's current HP. (Say like 1/10th) So you get an extra 100-150 damage added to your hits. (Although the animation would be the same as "Enthunder" it would actually do non-elemental damage, similar to how Excalibur's additional effect looks like Enlight but does not actually deal light-based damage.

Possable Aegis enhancments

IDEA 1
THE MAGIC STATUS ROUTE
I have been thinking about possable aegis enhancments, SE said they wanted to keep Aegis focused on reducing magic damage not physical and I have thought of a good system that would do that yet keep aegis and ochain holders happy.

At the moment Aegis offers great protection from magical damage but what about magic status?

If they was to add a hidden effect of Enhancing resistance to status alments to the same % as the -% magic damage taken.

i.e. lvl 90 Aegis would be -40% magic damage taken and 40% resistance to status alments.

This would be a huge boost to aegis, allowing Aegis PLDs to have a high resist rates including Death, Doom, Silence, HP down, Amnesia and zombie status ect.

IDEA 2
THE MYTHS AND LEGENDS ROUTE

Acording to the myths and legends of Aegis the Head of Medusa was embosed upon the shield striking fear into all those who looked upon it.

In keeping with the myths and legends of Aegis give it "Enhances all killer traits" with a high proc rate

This would give all aegis users a very high chance of intinidating the monster therfore reducing the damage they would take with out raising the block rate or damage taken

I think your 2nd route is awesome. I 100% agree. The 1st route I think might be slightly overpowered but I'd have to think about it a little more.
