Thread: Patch 3.38 Discussion

The anima step is now what it should have been from the very beginning.

This is the reason they make it time consuming.

A4S was broken in mechanics, and A3S was brutally difficult, balance is required in content when comparing similar Ilevels from different areas in content. Releasing a weapon with the same Ilevel as the Raid Weapon and it's simple to get compared to the Raid weapon will ruin the game for the majority of raiders. It will remove the whole point of even doing it.

Edit: The main reason why they moved the Raid weapons back to 5 Ilevels higher compared to highest weapons in the current content. Working down a Raid boss isn't as easy as it looks when you attempt to progress the final floors. Well, ignoring this current Raid patch (Except A8S) and Final Coil.

I won't be. I don't want the relic weapons, any of them in fact. I happen to think the relics for my main jobs (pld and drk) are absolutely hideous and as a result I don't want them. That being said, I did look in to the grind for the relic out of curiosity and I stand by my assertion that the 200 -> 210 step was absolutely ridiculous along with the fact that SE took the player feedback on NOT making the relic too grindy and threw it in to a furnace.
