skirmish: increase difficulty lvl.

[Elexia]

I doubt it. I haven't seen anything indicating this. As far as it relates to lore, the GCs are not going away, and they'll still need a way to train.

Given that ARR is years into the future while the garleans have already set their grand assault into action (as we seen in the trailers) it wouldn't exactly make sense for the current skirmish to exist, since the lore is to train before the grand invasion which was "5 years ago", they'll probably restructure it if it exists in ARR but the current skirmish more than likely will go away, especially since we know dungeons are being redesigned as well so the bosses may not even be the same.

(fairly mediocre weapons).

Actually pretty damn good weapons once you get melding action going.

This is true, put some touch of rage on the skirmish axe, and it's one of the best axes for tanking around.

It absolutely is. Hands down, +enmity is the best stat for tanking. Or are you gonna disagree with all of the testing that's been done proving this? Asside from the relic axe, no other axe has +enmity on it. Yes, you'll have lower DPS than with say garuda's axe, but only if your stats are at cap with garuda's axe. Most folks don't have capped stats.

Enmity is really the only case though as far as these weapons go. No idea why people are paying an arm and a leg for them.
