Thread: Patch 3.5 - Speculation Thread

Speculation thread eh?

Well... two new dungeons. Many expected Snowcloak Hard and we got Gubal instead, totally out of left field. I want to assume a hard mode version of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum overtaken by rogue Goblins, or Neverreap infested by voidsent for "reasons". Main Scenario dungeon, I can only assume Paglth'an or at least that area in S. Thanalan where there are structures buried in sand and it's actually an underground tomb where the Griffin and his ilk are hiding out, and we have to rescue Palypymo and Yda for being "traitors" to the Griffin.... OR, and I'm not too entirely familiar with every ounce of lore in this game:

Cartenau Flats.

Hold on, hear me out. Square RPGs have a habit of making you revisit places you once traversed in the beginning towards the epic climax of the story. FF6 had Narshe, FF7 Midgar, FF8 Balamb Garden (though that was more middle of the game I think) FFX Zanarkand, FFXIII Cocoon, etc. My point is, they have the assets for these in PVP and I can easily see them making a new dungeon out of it. It'll be one nice nostalgia trip for the fans while we are anxiously fighting our way to the final boss. (A weakened Omega?) Lore wise, it's my understanding that the place is forbidden and only to be used as a contesting grounds. Though I'd imagine for all we've done for Eorzea we'd get a pardon just to investigate... and for added measure voidsent would start popping up and we'd have to help NPCs of GC members fight them off.

To be completely honest, I'm just hoping for some buffs to WHM to make them compete better with AST.
As gear gets better and fights require less and less healing, AST cards get stronger and more desirable to blow threw fights quicker.

Either AST needs their cards toned down, or WHM needs some adjustments. I don't want to go through the rest of the expansion as a subpar healer.

Egi glam still a thing?

Astrologian isn't getting nerfed, look at how Scholar's been and how Warrior's been the entire expansion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, since I can't read what it says I'm just going by the fact I see a picture and a number which I assume is a pricetag.
I sense an outrage from collectors if this is the case.

Yep. Since the Chinese couldn't get the Collector's Editions, Pre-orders, or physical items tied to said minions and gear, they got added to their Mogstation.

The only reason people haven't raged ober this is because it isn't common knowledge among English client players.

Yeah, instead of being nerfed, I'd prefer to see WHM buffed.
AST is now on the level of SCH, so it only makes sense to bump WHM to that level as well.

Are egi stuff only for Smn ? I'd really love to be able to switch Selene for something more badass.

We need Airy/Anne glamours for the Scholar fairies to go with the healing Carbuncles.
