    Oh dang. Just checked. The striking gear is just fine but the Scouting gloves do have spell speed.
    How the heck did that happen?

    According to the Known Issues news, they don't actually have spell speed, that's just a display error. Didn't get a pair to drop so I could actually test that, though.

    (Also, let she who has not placed the wrong purple materia in her gear cast the first stone)

    Ok. So, it's still skill speed and just says spell speed instead.

    Did I really cast any stones with my comment? If so, it was not my intention.

    Edit
    Oh, wait was it the part of "how the hick did that happen?".
    If it is that was more of a question pointed at the dev team. Under the assumption that spell speed stats were put onto non caster gear.
    It was less of a dig at the devs and more of I'm surprised it happened reaction. Though seeing as it is just missed placed text and not the actual stat it's not really that surprising of a mistake to happen.

    that was more of a joke about the fact that i, personally, have more than once slotted quickarm materia on my black mage gear.

    False. We got it in my group. Monk snatched the hands to check. It does indeed apply spell speed the stat. Not a typo

    That's unfortunate. I know they've done display-only errors like that before, hopefully it's fixed in a hotfix soon.

    They seem to be struggling to reconcile the power of the WOL with how the fact that if the WOL used half their power most conflicts would end before the story actually did anything and I think they are struggling to properly integrate that into the engine

    This is one of the few things base DT actually did really well. Everyone knew that wuk Lamat wasn’t a direct threat, the true threat was the walking tactical nuke sitting behind her. Bakool ja ja, galool ja ja, sareel ja and calyx all immediately pointed out the WOL as the true threat (or guide in galool ja ja’s case)

    I don’t think nerfing the WOL midgardsommr style is good because people didn’t like the WOL being sidelined, but maybe more active cutscene use to show that the WOL isn’t as invincible as they feel when they spend half the patch aura farming

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Scouting, that's what it was. Sorry, melee gear confuses me. Striking, Scouting, Slapping, Sucking (me when I play a melee). All morphs together in my mind
