Novus weapon upgrade system findings

[DududeDude]

While interesting, I'm confused as to why anyone would want to add accuracy over the other stats onto Omnilex and Thyrus.
Personally I'm currently going for max tier 3 materia det/pie/spell speed for my Thyrus.

It's partly a utility choice, partly just a reality of the content we're doing choice. As Scholar I spend roughly three quarters of any fight in the second coil adding DPS, and I actually run at the accuracy cap for that reason using lava toad legs and crafted healer gloves with capped accuracy; even knowing that three of my damage spells are guaranteed to hit it's still worth it as a DPS upgrade, since my heals are powerful enough and my mp pool extensive enough that I don't need the other stats. At that point I choose to optimize for damage instead, and it also has some added utility during the Melusine encounter, since I can with 100% reliability use miasma to root the Renauds in place, without the worry a summoner kiter has that they have to get enough distance to safely cast miasma, or the worry a bard kiter has where shadowbind will clear the heavy effect from the Renaud.

I'd agree it's a much weaker choice for a WHM. There's some minor value in making fluid aura a reliable interrupt, but with a typical group setup your WHM is likely to be the one that spends the most time healing.

I will also naturally get plenty of weapons with full healing stats on them just by clearing content in the game anyway, the same can not be said for healer weapons with accuracy on them.

All Done



And all I can think is "I don't need to do Brayflox for a very long time" :P

Kinda disappointed with the glow on the Novus not much different from Animus. Oh well still looks awesome.

Greetings,

We’ve confirmed a bug wherein players are unable to receive alexandrite from FATEs after upgrading their Curtana Animus to a Curtana Novus.

While there are other means of obtaining alexandrite, please take note that it will not be possible to obtain them through FATEs while we work to correct this. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Did they fix this yet?

Wow, I'm glad you're so exicted about it! I hope the next Zodiac quest changes the weapon's appearance, not just the colors/glow. Come, SE, you have more than 3 months! SURPRISE ME.
