Gotta make sure sam can still abuse save tp, right?

Did they nerf a whole bunch of legion gear or is that new stuff? The good looking DD body seems to be shit if so.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-03-09 11:18

dINT does not affect Meteor, but just regular INT and Elemental Magic Skill does. Also, it's nonelemental.

tl;dr: It's a surefire bet against high level content if you have good mages.

Provenance looks a lot like the Cloister BCNMs, even that giant crystal in the center looks like the protocrystal in which the Avatar chills inside of while you fight it.

Yeah they adjusted a ton of it. I assume you are speaking about this one specifically?

How could ya not want a Hachiryu Haramaki With Regen but no Zanshin!

**Darkmagi** · 2012-03-09 11:54

Fucking retarded, yay for sidegrades to a 75 piece of armor. Maybe it will have more than 2 regen so I can idle in it at least.

You might be on to something. Julian's mine lists Provenance Protocrystal in the zone as well

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-09 12:17

Well DRG can't use Hachiryu Haramaki so it'll be an awesome Drakesbane piece for us.

**Skeelo** · 2012-03-09 12:34

Awesome Healing breath trigger too on that very small occ you are /mage

inb4 the Cait Sith Avatar BC takes place in Provenance. I wouldn't put it past SE to make the new Avatar's hard to get along the lines of what they're proposing Araise to be (and possibly Meteor).

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-09 12:54

Oh hell yeah Skeero, I completely forgot about that! Second best thing is Wym.Mail+2 which is only 46 HP. In abyssea my HB trigger is like 2.3k and I can't even imagine what it's like for a Galka. I bet with the right gear in your precast and Sanguine Scythe Atma in Abyssea you could cast HBIV at like 3k, since I have about 5kish as a lolhume.

Provenance sounds like the new Einherjar/Dynamis/Salvage type thing. THey said they wanted to add a new dungeon crawl, I assume by dungeon crawl they meant Einherjar/Dynamis/Limbus/Salvage/Nyzul/Walk of Echoes etc. The final boss of it could be Cait Sith Prime or something, with one of the possible rewards being a pact with her or Atomos.

At first glance it would seem that you want your best geared BLM to be 'leader' and start casting last.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-03-09 13:08

Either way about that body, it's a fucking tease to have made it look like a great upgrade and then shit on us.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-09 13:34

They said like 2 months ago "Atributes on equipment added to legion in this test server update may not reflect the stats on actual item when it goes live" etc...

Shoulda known better especially after they nerfed the Askar+5 neo nyzul armor.

OLD

Askar Zucchetto +5 - DEF36 ACC+10 ATK+10 EVA+10 Haste+7 StoreTP+7 SubtleBlow+7
Askar Korazin +5 - DEF70 STR+16 ATK+5% (Limit+50) CritHitDamageUP (+15%) DoubleAttackDmgUp (+15%)

Askar Gambieras +5 - DEF28 ACC+12 PDT-5% SubtleBlow +10 "Sometimes physical damage will lower enemy TP by 10%"

NEW

I don't think SE can really be called a fucking tease given that they never actually made those stats available. They didn't put it in a promo shot, they didn't even let you get it on the test server and then change it before it was live.

They put some stats on something that wasn't ever intended for players to see.

(Not that I'm not sad that Legion Chest 2 doesn't have Evasion on it any more. Was looking forward to an Eva + Haste body.)

**Slycer** · 2012-03-09 13:36

Looks like they added all the rest of the Voidwatch mobs and the associated stratum abyssite key items, are they poppable yet on the test server?

good point, I'm just really bitter that they turned a lot of pieces that could have been great upgrades into stupid side grades, as per usual SE.

**Kaisha** · 2012-03-09 13:51

They probably decided to get a budget for an expansion for some real lvl99 content than give us some godly shit from Legion so they still have room to actually give us stuff that isn't side-grades.....

We should be getting a new roadmap for the following months after the March update lands, will be interested to see wtf they plan to do to make me want to resubscribe.

**Ophannus** · 2012-03-09 13:56

^Probably after April because we still have a lot of updates they haven't implemented yet according to their "In Development" forum:

Dungeon crawl thing is definitely Provenance as the image they show on the roadmap of it is the same as the pics that Julian posted.
