HAH!.

it's really ridiculous...:)
i cant imagine what their reason is, considering they dont even seem to be sharing gear with BRD, as we thought...unless it applies to the ilv120+ stuff

what did you expect? relic has always been weaker than end-game gear. it only caught up recently, exactly because 2,4 is coming soon.

Noooooooooo can't stack regen and medica ii anymore in frontline. This WHM hate!

If those Artisan or Foragers items are meldable then i'm done with crafting/gathering until 3.0.

Actually very pleased about a lot of the notes here; but mostly with a few of the adjustments:

People withdrawing from queues getting a penalty. This has been coming, things like repeated ST requeue boxes and pitifully empty teams in Frontlines are annoying. Give people a reason to actually be serious about what they sign up for and stop inconveniencing everyone else.

PvP adjustments. Healer stacking is finally looking less desirable... Maybe. I do want to see the difference first. Not sure what to think of the Swiftcast nerf to BLM; I'm sure they aren't too happy. And Node/Drone stuff seems promising. Kinda gets old when 2 parties come to a flag and floor the other party before the drones spawn. And now castors actually need to commit to an LB they start.

Increased drop rates on older stuff. I wonder by how much though.



...Aaand everyone seen these 4-star synths coming. Luckily nothing that seems to be crafted appeals to me that much.

Can't wait to see half my server rerolling ninja. Their attack potency on top of that 15% attack speed buff seems pretty insane.

SATA is back ^_^

It is not - That's why it's only 500.

Ok... dumb question maybe, but what is DEX type? I know dexterity, but how do they measure that? Is it some weird formula like accuracy and parry where it just seems to be random?

What's the point of Shiva weapons being i110 when Soldiery Weapons are already so easy to get? All this does is make the fight DOA like Ramuh and Moggle Mog EX except for people who will want to farm it for vanity.

"Players who select Withdraw from the Duty Ready confirmation window or allow the window to time out without making a selection three times or more in one day, will be temporarily prohibited from registering for duties via the Duty Finder."

^This x1000 !!!!!!

"The following food items can be used as furnishings. Once placed, they can be used up to ten times to receive a parameter bonus."

What is a parameter bonus?


"The weekly limitation on Allagan tomestones of mythology has been removed.

* The maximum store of 2,000 tomestones has not been changed. "

Typo? Shouldn't that say soldiery?
