new weaponskill speculation

[Alisha]

if you watched the video 4 WS are shown however i find it curious that they all apear to be one hit. also with the possible exception of the rose one they all appear to be elemental.(i suppose its possible the rose is earth or light) considering how relatively useless elemental WS are what if SE plans to allow elemental WS to magic burst? just a thought. feel free to insert your own speculation.

[Koyangi]

I speculate 1 of 2 things, all jobs will gain a new WS only their job class can use, each job getting 1, or a more farfetched possibility, dancer plays a role in them (rdm ws made a rose and dancer has "rosey" animations)

I dont think you missed the "New" part of new weaponskill speculation. After the portion showcasing Dancer (including Eviceration, not Mercy Stoke) RDM PLD PUP and WAR all do a new WS. Those are the ones OP is refering too.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Maybe it is linked to Nyzul weapons?

i believe it was 6 new weapon skills, 1 h2h, 1 great axe, 2 sword, 2 dagger (both from dancer, one swings up one swings down both had a ball sort of animation when used but they changed too fast to see much 1:26-1:29 in the trailer)

i dont think they have to do with Nyzul, seems odd to show off new weapon skills from ToAU in the trailer to Wotg to me, im guessing new JS ws or wsnm quests.

That's what im thinking anyone wanna check dats of weapons to see if it matched up with sword from rdm or sword from pld?

edit: Also if linked with nyzule weapons would have to add a new one for dancer as well since dancer did a ws ya?

[SamanosukeShiva]

my guess would be the new WS's r weapon type exclusive, like the one with rose animation was done with rapier type of sword, and the other one was with espadon type?

[klvino]

In the video, some of them appear to be WS's, but at least one looked like a skillchain due to its graphic timing.

kinda doubt that theres alot of diff types of each weapon SE wouldent add 1 each would be too much odds are its job based witch iam guessing is how there ganna make dancer be able to use dagger decently befor60/71 depending on if they let dancer use dancing edge or not but not having a good ws till 70+ depending on skill is ganna suck they have to do somthing about it

and thos single hit up and down things dancer did i doubt thats a new ws seeing how all the rest or so flashy if its just that its ganna be gay dagger gets shityest animation

[Stromgarde]

I expect the H2H one to suck, because a Puppetmaster is using it, and Puppetmasters don't get good weaponskills. Ditto for the rose one the RDM is using.

On the other hand, it could be that it's a magical WS, which no H2H is at present. Nice for use with formless strikes, maybe?

[evilpaul]

Maybe it is linked to Nyzul weapons?

Something about the Nyzul sword was an Epee, but the movie has a rapier, and no Hume sword WS is thrusting, but the hume in the CS uses a thrust move. So unless they showed upgraded Nyzul weapons it's something different.

Or something, I can barely use Spirits Within as my NIN.

[Evelyn]

Methinks this will be a new, job-specific quested weapon skill unrelated to nyzul weapons. Notice they only showed the highest-ranked weapon for each job, and it was different between PLD and RDM. Plus the RDM looked like he was using a Joyeuse, not an epee-type that Vorpal Sword uses. Even with relic upgrade steps, I don't think any of them change overall weapon type, just the looks a bit.

Well I like that they look nice, lets just hope they perform nice too.

[Sho]

Most likely will be Nyzul Weapons. I could see SE something to them-- needing to go back to the past to "upgrade" them.

[Darkyrm]

What if Dancer Buffs give every job class new Job abilities / Weapon Skills using Dance moves? (Would be an original way to buff other jobs without touching Bard/Cor type buffs) In the video Dancers dont seem to be there in the Weapon Skill clips but they could be there just now showed.

Also the flower theme about Weapon Skills fits quite nicely with Dancer. On the other side the Rdm redrose Weapon Skill makes sens as a Job specific Weapon Skill (that could come from a Dance buff)

Just an idea.

You're all fools if you believe the Nyzul weapons are relevant to an expansion preview!

Gimme' a kiss.

I hope SE fixes damage formula before WOTG, hell is ATK build even worth it anymore when Food, Minuet, Chaos Roll gives you 700-800 ATK anyway? Why add another 50 atk(full atk build) just to get 10 more damage on your attacks when 25% haste gives atleast 60 more dmg each hit avrg on delay.

Hell, I bet a WHM taru with those new weapon skills will do just as much as a warrior they way SE are heading "fixing" the game.

conclusion, FFXI is a shitty game and needs to die.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Holy shit, NO

conclusion, FFXI is a shitty game and needs to die.

Conclusion, you need to GTFO of a FFXI forum, and go back to playing WoW.
