[To The Dev's]About the Ancient Buckler

To the OP: If its a RANDOM drop, then it's 100% possible that it just hasn't RANDOMLY come up yet.

ran·dom
ˈrandəm/
adjective
adjective: random

1.
made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision.
"a random sample of 100 households"
synonyms: unsystematic, unmethodical, arbitrary, unplanned, undirected, casual, indiscriminate, nonspecific, haphazard, stray, erratic;

Just because it's random doesn't change the fact that it's statistically unlikely.

So for a long time everyone assumed that it dropped in T5 of the binding coil, even now this is still a possibility but unlikely.

Also thanks for reading literally the 3rd sentence of the op.

Just conjecture, but a highly possible one, in the video released today the CT mentioned something about the Ancients.....considering the shield has the same term in the title, it could very well be from CT. Still...the notion of an ilvl item of 90 being dropped from the CT goes against what was previously announced, but still...at least the name of the item coincides with the new dungeon. It could be a rare drop....we will know soon enough.

**edit** I didn't see someone had already mentioned this.. lol. woops!

The problem is not Ancient Buckler, never was never will be. It does not matter if it is a drop from CT or not, really it does not. I have said this many times, the problem is Coil BLM drops, pure and simple. You guys keep forgetting Twintania weapons are going to be ilvl95, so ilvl 70, 80 and 90 (if the tank shield get upgraded to 95 also) are not going to cut it. The reward have to be from Coil and it have to be equal to what every other job are getting, not a single main stat point less or more.

It is like saying every job deserve equal drop except BLM, they are less than everyone else and they should re-role SMN, at least they don't get a book with the pages torn off.

Wouldn't PLD also be getting the short end of the Stick if our shield is not upgraded cause it wouldnt scale as well as all the other jobs?

(ie. our stats being split between the shield and sword?)

Yea I'm totally fine with a ilvl 90 shield otherwise pally would be getting the short end if blm got an ilvl 95 shield for no reason. I just really want that i90 shield.

Maybe it drop in turn 6 (coming with 2.2)

I would be fine with ilvl90 shield if the tank shield stays ilvl90 which I doubt, it would be 2 jobs being screwed for no reason. The fair thing to do is give an ilvl95 shields to both tanks and BLM.

Why would pld shield be bumped up, the only reason the weapons are is as an incentive to clearing t5. Considering the pld shield drops from t1 and they have said that only weapons from t5 are getting bumped I highly doubt it.

Does not make it fair does it? Tanks should get their shield to ilvl95 & we should get one of our own or get upgraded to 2 hander. There is no reason what so ever for some jobs to get less than anyone else, it is 100% not a balance issue, otherwise our Relic +1 would not have the same stats as everyone else. All I see is an over sight by the dev team or something else that does not make sense.
