Garuda Weapons

Please make them do the Garuda laugh when pulling out the weapon.

Every..........single...........time!

Ul'dah will never be the same...

No...! The Moogle weapons are bad enough as it is!

Ul'dah used to be a nice neighborhood! :mad:

If this gets implemented, I'm going to freak out everyday. Never wear headphones again. Keep the volume down. Live underground in a cave that... because... I... oh... wait.

*checks out already on all four items*

I don't care if they burst into orgasmic screams, as long as they don't look as gimmicky as Moogle weapons.

dont worry judging by the previous primal weapon stats they will most likely be evasion/magic evasion +30 wind resistance +15 and additional effect wind damage. which will be complete shit unless they have like 20 more base damage than ifrits. so i wouldnt see many people having them anyway..... as much as i hope SE wises up on their stats for stuff they continue to prove they have no fucking clue now to make rare gear worth the time.

Was thinking about it for a second and I think I know what they could use as a gimmick for the Garuda weapons stat wise. Hopefully they don't take the same route as making melee/mage the only variety between them since they should prolly go about it like this. Garuda is about speed but speed doesn't just mean evasion it also means many other things like attacking, blocking and parrying so perhaps.

Marauder arm could have a +30 to parry
Gladiator could have a +30 to block rate
Lancer could have a +30 to Feint/Full Thrust activating even if you didn't miss an attack
Archer could have occasionaly fires 2 arrows or a very low delay.
PUG could have +30 evasion
CON could have a MATT 30 and 15 Wind potency
THM could have MATT 30 and occasionally decrease recast time of spells.

If they follow the concept of Garuda's speed then the top would prolly be a nice mix of traits to make them all useful in one way or another, it would enhance MRD/Glad/LNC/PUG ability to use their counter abilities, enhance CON's strength with wind magic and give THM the ability to recast their spells quicker.

Occasionally attacks 2-3 times or -delay (melee attacks and casting times) gogogo!

ifrit mage weapons already both have 30 matt so thats not happening, and they will most likely continue to follow the same formula they have been

The primal weapons seem to be SE's way of testing out new effects (glowing, animation, sound), so I suspect these will some sort sort of whooshy wind-aura floating around them when in active mode.

I really like their designs, from what you can see in the concept art PDF.

The bow seems to have retractable wings..do want.

Well the thing is that you can't make the weapon better or worse than Ifrit/Moogle, it needs to be unique in it's own way. Ifrit focused on ATK, Moogle has Acc./Crit. The question is, what beneficial stat will Garuda's weapons have that makes it unique in it's own way.

Perhaps it will give you bonuses to your primary and secondary stat. Maybe perhaps (Only an example) you could have the spear with +20 STR/+20 PIE. Not the best idea, but I am kind of stumped on how these weapons will be unique among others.

I do believe people missed the point of Moogle weapons. They weren't supposed to be serious visually. They were supposed to be funny and cute to add smiles to our faces. People who took Moogle weapons seriously really lost out on SE humor ; ; I love my moogle H2H!!!

they will follow the same format as the other 2 set i guarantee is
30 of one stat
15 of another
and another additonal effect. which will be useless on mage weapons cuz they dont melee.

You can also expect the +15 stat to be wind resist.

one thing they could do is have significantly lower delays on them and tp store. dunno about mage ones, i could come up with something but idc about mages lhaha

Wind seems to be associated with evasion and run-speed in this game.... Maybe they'll have fast attack speed or buff your run-speed.

Question is, Garuda Weapons or Job Weapons.

Anywho, please do not add this, i dislike, it would be very stupid in the long run. Just sat there /spamming it, if you wanna do it, reroll as the girl with voice 2, then make a macro that everytime you draw your weapon, you /laugh and ur good, (its annoying enough that laugh! and i have it lols)

Awesome ! /o/

The bow is cool and absolutely ridicolous at the same time. I think I'll stick with the new GC one.

That being said those claws are badass!

That BLM staff is awesome :O

OMG 2 awesome bows in one night.

boooowwwwwwwwwwwww

The claws are cool this time ._. Wish the sword has more feathers on it xD

Well these certainly make up for those craftable weapons. I liked everything there aside from the sword which was pretty whatever. Also that THM staff and that bow and those claws hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-

Also this, you people need to lighten up.

The staff is BLM and the wand thing is whm? :o Love all the weapons cant wait to get them all whee

Some very epic, love them all except im not sure on the bow, maybe it looks better in a different perspective, but do the wongs go right behind the guy lol looks a bit stupid if hes shielded by giant wings.

I'm not seeing any links posted anywhere for the Garuda weapons. I'm on iPhone atm, but previous primal videos/links have always worked fine :(

Not interested in the looks anymore. If it's stats aren't good like most of the weapons/armor that are deemed "rare and powerful", then looks like this is just gonna be another fight for one win and that's it.

I don't have either weapon from Ifrit or moogle. But it's similar to Darklight DoM gear which was stated to be the most powerful obtainable gear, that gear is shit for mage. When I saw the stats on all those items, I was speechless on how terrible it was for it's drop rates.

Probably crap too.

well, thats refreshing to see nice claws here for a change, good stuff.
Bow is wild, lance and mage is nice. Sword and axe are rather bland though.
I'm happy enough with the claws =)

Or maybe SE is just preparing for PvP by implementing various weapons with unique stats that can be used for specific builds. Who would win in PvP a Full Crit Rate+ Build or a Full Magic Eva+ EVa build?

You don't see very far past base damage do you?

Drop rates aren't so bad on primals. The MP proc is supposed to be fixed so as to be proc on cast which will make things better. However Mage Darklight is pretty much a waste of inventory space for vanity. All things considered, i'm sure multi melds will dominate darklight come PvP seeing as +/- enmity is useless against a human.

Monk also get good AF Hands, the Tiger Fists, so monk will eventually get back on track from its previous rubbish (tho personally i love the block weapons XD).

TBH i thought those expandable darksteel blocks with oozing magma looked awesome...

You really have to question S.E.'s taste lately.

2.0 might be a huge shock if these weapons are anything to go by. I kinda prefered the art style of the old weapons, they were more subtle. Some of the new ones are great, but for every good one, there is a completely heinous one.
