End game players Patch 2.1 Summary

I have just finished reading the Live letter translation. Here is a quick summary for those whom are already clearing Coil:

"These are my opinions and they do not reflect anyone else's unless they say so"

1- Crystal Tower = Story then forget about it, unless you have jobs you would like to gear up. One item per run.

2- Extreme Primals are going to be a challenge it seems, but we should be able to clear it if we are already clearing Coil. Defeating the 3 Primals awards you with Ilvl90 Weapon from quest.

3- Allagan Weapons buffed to ilvl95, I think it is the same thing for rest of Coil drops but not quite sure since they talked about the buff when they were talking about Relic + 1 being too common (Titan buyers, ty.)

4- If All of Allagan drops get buffed to ilvl95 then forget about min/maxing by mixing Myth & Allagan, Allagan all the way baby.

5- Bards, say goodbye to Blood for Blood (My guess as they have said they are going to take away something outside Bard/Archer).

6- BLMs, it does not sound like they want to nerf us but they will give us something to do against bosses.

7- DRGs buffed (well deserved).

8- MNKs buffed (I honestly have no idea why, you guys are already a very good Job.)

9- Warriors, happy for you guys.

10- If you finished gearing up your main with full Allagan including the weapons, I advice you to start working on your secondary jobs in Coil as we are not getting anything higher until 2.2.


Did I miss anything?

Yes.

Nice, added ^^.

That about sums things up, in a nut shell.

Allagan weapons are the only ones that get buffed to 95 I believe.

Does no one ever just play games for fun anymore?
Seems to me like everyone is only concerned about raising their ilvls instead of just playing and enjoying what the game offers.

Personally, I look forward to everything in 2.1, with PvP being lowest on my priority list XD

Not quite.
Let's compare two rather low IL items, an IL50 item and an IL55 item, Drachen Armet and Sipahi Turban.

What does the Sipahi Turban has better than the Drachen Armet? 1 point of Strength and Vitality. It also has the same accuracy.
Notice the change is very minimal in stats both have and are meaningful.

Let's now compare two currently IL90 items: Wyrm's Mail and Allagan Cuirass of Maiming.
Same attributes everywhere, except the Wyrm's Mail has Critical Hit and twice the Determination, whereas the Allagan Cuirass has Skill Speed and half the determination that the Wyrm's Mail has.

Presume that we get 5 more base (STR and VIT) out of the Allagan Cuirass.

It wold still be Skill Speed and half~ the determination (notice that in the other example of 5 IL of difference the secondary attribute remained the same)

The Wyrm's Mail would still be superior as it has sufficient Critical and Determination to outmatch the extra 5 STR that the Allagan would have. Sometimes the secondary attributes you have are sufficiently important to make out a lesser main attribute. Hell, that is why people consider the IL70 accessories superior to the IL90 ones because you can get more useful secondaries on them in relation to the minimal increase in primaries.

Also take note that anything that isn't body or legs the attribute differences get a lot smaller, I'm not even sure that +5 IL would grant 5 STR of difference, the Gae Bolg+1 only has 4 more STR than the Gae Bolg, and that's because it's strength on a weapon, I presume +5 IL on Allagan will do, at best, +2~+3 to a base attribute, enough that a more useful secondary can outmatch on it's own
