I didn't bother. I did requiscat with Liberator and it did 3.5k to an ep. Swinging my scythe around like it's a sword.

They have got to be trolling.

ffxi 2012: dragonforce mode

[InsaniacTHF]

Teamed up with some friendly JPs. There is some AoE aftermath effect but I can't figure out what it is. For afterglow I get the relic aftermath icon but the description is "DEBUG: Report".

Edit: Not too sure on this but the JP I'm with says the afterglow from apoc is acc. Maybe 1h is att? =/

Edit2: Got a more clear answer.
Relics = Acc
Mythics = Att
Emps = Crit rate

Edit3: Mythics att boost is 15. Not 15%. 15. Even at 300% and it only lasts 30 seconds.

Quitting is starting to look like a real option for me, for the very first time. This is beyond retarded.

tl;dr:

relic afterglow = acc/r.acc
mythic afterglow = atk/r.atk
empyrean afterglow = war/sa- er, critical hit rate

[Kaisha]

Increased ATT on Mythic better be fucking amazing.

[pugnax179]

Afterglow bestows beneficial status effects upon party members in an area surrounding (but excluding) the wielder.

not that people didnt exactly see this coming but yea, its confirmed

[IronPandemonium]

Increased x2-3 damage on relics better be fucking amazing.

ftfy

[InsaniacTHF]

Soooo. It looks like they are saying the level 99 trial will be easy and you get everything but the afterglow. 40% damage boost to relic WSs and 30% dam,age boost to Mythics. Fuck glowing basically. I am fine with this.

[Lorax]

Wait... I can't find the post where liberator was broken. What happened with it?

[Darkmagi]

I'm fine with this if they make it easy to 99 without afterglow, it doesn't even stack with aftermath apparently.

[InsaniacTHF]

They messed up all the english Mythics. The JPs are working. The mythic WSs are all replaced with some random WS.

[InsaniacTHF]

Correct.

[Vriska]

Nice to know Ochain grants additional song effects at 99, devs.

Also: "The hierarchy for overwriting Aftermath and Afterglow effects is as follows: One's Own Aftermath: Lv3>Lv2>Lv1>Party Member's Afterglow"

So it's probably a good thing they're worthless.

[InsaniacTHF]

Did a few hundred swings with apoc. The ODD seems to still be roughly 20%. The increase seems small w/e it is.

[Darkmagi]

New system that sounds similar to einherjar. FUCK YES. POINTS YESSSSSS

[Atoreis]

Correct.

Wonder if SE actually know how stupid they are?

1. None will hold their upg to 99 for 2 years to get afterglow instead of going for easier one w/o afterglow.
2. Even if someone would be so crazy to try that I bet he would still want something powerful with such ridiculous trial. +15 att? Biggest troll attempt ever.

[InsaniacTHF]

It's clearly just an epeen trial. I'm fine with that. Since it's pretty much useless for anything other than "HEY LOOK THAT GUY IS GLOWING!!! I FEEL REALLY SORRY FOR HIM!!" I won't even think twice about it. All I'm concerned about is that sweet sweet 40% WS boost. If it's an FTP increase like the last set that would be a sexy 4.2ftp.

"The duration for each Afterglow is thirty seconds."
"Afterglow effects activate when the weapon skill corresponding to the equipped weapon
For Aegis and Ochain, the effects activate when Shield Bash is used."

30 seconds of afterglow for the shields.. every 5 mins. Seriously?
