So, Soldiery Weapons

[Tiggy]

I've got mine on Balmung for my warrior, but to be honest it's obvious why many people don't have this. Many many players do not even remotely try the new coil at all. They don't pug or join statics. This essentially makes this weapon completely off limits to them.

Getting the soldiery weapon is a waste of time. Novus will be the better weapon to get because you can eventually alter its stats, you can get it to (at least) ilvl 115 in 2.3 and you don't have to waste any Soldiery getting it. Why waste weeks worth of soldiery to get a weapon that will be obsolete in just over a month when you can gear an alt class with gear that will last you till at least September?

Also worth mentioning that if you are not in a static, you only have a 1 in 8 chance to get the item if you can clear T7 in a pug, and then a 1 in 8 chance to upgrade it if you can clear T8 in a pug. For the majority of players, its just easier to grind out an animus.

I'm a try hard and I have my tidal wave staff, my T7 weapon and I'm 3 books away from my stardust rod animus. Cause variety.

One month or more to 2.3 release.
One month is 450x4= 1800 soldiers

Have you got time to farm the animus weapon? go on!!!

Atm, unless exception, high allagan weapon > ilvl110 weapon > ilvl 100 weapon > animus.

Relic will be 115 in 2.4 when High Allagan gets phased out by another raid weapon. In terms of progression the relic will never be equal to the endgame weapon drop.

You don't know that at all. They only announced Novus would be 110. You're making any info about 115 up. Unless of course you can provide a source.

as a whm main here is my reasoning:

animus and weathered yagrush are virtually the same thing. I prefer the annimus because the extra det and the ss helps in 2nd coil. also because i dont need the extra pie atm.

yagrush is better but novus will also be i110. depending on what i can do with the stats on it, it will be the same thing as above most likely.

as for getting a weathered yagrush AND unweathering it. the dps has a higher priority on the items, then tanks, then everyones gear. the healer wep isnt high on the list of order for the drops needed.

besides seeing t9 being taken down with a thyrus zenith means any upgrade just makes fights easier.

If you think a mere relic will be equal to a weapon that drops from the most challenging encounter in game currently before becoming trivialized in 2.4 you're sadly mistaken.

Did you read what I said? I never said it would be 115. I actually said it wasn't going to be 115 and specifically said it was going to be 110. Reading comprehension man. You need some.
