Interesting tidbits for us (specifically) from the 1.2 notes

Auto-Attack Damage Bonus
Class: Lancer
Bonus 1: Piety
Bonus 2: Strength

Incapacitation:
Left Arm: Heavy Thrust
Special (Left): Impulse Drive

[dev1206] Abilities that affect your next offensive ability will now benefit only the first stage of multistage weaponskills.

[dev1263] The bonuses granted by the following items have been revised:
Ifrit’s Claws / Ifrit’s Blade / Ifrit's Battleaxe / Ifrit's Bow / Ifrit's Harpoon
Attack Power: 20 → 30


Also, just to think ahead combo wise:
Vorpal Thrust -> Impulse Drive -> Chaos Thrust
True Thrust -> Leg Sweep -> Doom Spike


I'm liking most of our changes, although I don't know how I feel about PIE for auto-attack damage, especially since:
Please be warned that it will not be possible to undo point allotment for the duration of patch 1.20. For your reference, the following is a list of the six basic parameters and the various attributes they affect.

your combos are the wrong way round. But the 2 stats for damage is interesting

What's the problem with messing with Piety on Auto-Attacks when:

Quote:

---

Points are spent at a one-to-one ratio, and their issuance and allotment are handled by class.

---

If you're hesitant on putting Piety on your Lancer initially, mess around with Piety gear and see the extent of the increase. Then you can judge for yourself if you want to increase your Piety or if you'd rather do Strength or something.

Sadface that you can't do Blindside to force a critical on all the hits on a multi-hit anymore but yeah. Kinda excited to see how everything works out.

45 points total at level 50 so essentially you can almost max both PIE and STR

They could potentially be gearing up for some magic-based abilities for Dragoon.

Perhaps you need a good amount of religious devotion to cut yourself up to deal damage? lol
