Coil Turn 5 /weapon level 95 logic

[Ryans]

Maybe this has already been addressed and I missed it, but I fail to understand the logic behind the decision to only raise the item level of the weapons dropped in turn 5. It was explained that due to the extreme difficulty of Turn 5 the weapons would receive a slight buff, but by that logic why wouldn't the other gear that drops in the same turn that has to be achieved through the same difficulty, or are they at least planning to put those loot drops on other turns, for example BRD has a total of 4 items that can be dropped in turn 5, including the weapon, seems a little off balanced that you would have to beat turn 5 numerous times to get items that are only i90 and are not even BiS. Maybe someone can help explain this logic to me.

I think you answered your own question. Bard has 4 items that drop in turn 5. If you think about that for a second, you'll see that means bard would have 4 level 95 items whereas the other classes would only have 2. I assume they chose weapons because it is an easy change that affects all jobs equally.

Except for black mage. The BLM allagan weapon is 1H meaning you need the shield to compensate for the stat loss. The shield, as far as I know, is not getting a buff, and hasn't even been confirmed to drop anywhere in coil. Not to mention that BLM needs to win TWO separate drops to be on par with everyone elses ONE drop.
