hahaha oh lordie. 1 per zone please

[Sho]

Getting singles offa Hippos in Dyna-Valk at a decent rate on NIN/DNC.

Also the despawn mechanic isn't implemented in these Dynamis zones yet-- mobs will follow you to the ends of the zone instead of despawning outside of a specific radius. EM~T Nightmare Goobbue around the corner from the starting point, Nightmare Treants as you go go towards the coastline, Nightmare Flytraps as you go towards Konscht entrance. Was too busy trying to outrun 10 hippos to have fought them though.

Annnnd not sure if it was said, but can't reenter any Dynamis zone after exiting a CoP one.

We here at SE think Dark Knights will appreciate an ability to deal vastly larger amounts of weaponskill damage at near death. This will allow Drk deal 40% more weaponskill damage, pull aggro, and die 2 seconds later. So as their friends criticize them for being stupid and dying, they can respond that at least their damage is better than theirs.

LOL full of win. I blame all the Caladborg DRKs that sub THF to post epeen damage SSs.

OAT trials seemed to have no increase in OAT/2-3/DA, only reductions in augmented delay and increased DMG ratings. Only checked swords/katana, however.

OAT = 150 Silver Mirrors
2-3 = 700 Aquan Mobs
DA = 200 Silver Mirrors

Please tell me the OAT weapons don't have -delay and only the OA2-3 does. My 5hit relies on my Corsesca having 507 delay -_-

Also inb4 all the badass gear dropping from like Arch Diabolos Spade or something.

Any of the glowing weapons dropping off him would not surprise me given the current Arch Dynamis Lord drop.

From what I can tell, the OAT got increased from DMG:+40 to DMG:+48, no mention of delay-.

[Karbuncle]

Thats what i thought too, but the video of those new weapons was posted in 2 Voidwatch threads IIRC.

Thats what i was told when i brought it up they will likely come from Dynamis,

Anyone check what drops from salvage yet to see if anything new drops there?

I think you are missing how the JA works. Ideally you should use it while having hate and right before the mob does a TP move that is unavoidable. So you take the damage and all your subsequent attacks gain a boost for 1 minute starting from the time you get hit. So I don't see how that is any different from retaliation. If you are about to die, pop that seigan and 3rd eye, stun, weapon bash etc etc, it doesn't mean you have to keep taking the damage as only the first hit counts. If your WHM can't heal you after all that time, then get a new WHM. You are not taking any more damage than you should is the point, there is nothing your healer should complain about that is no difference from a WAR or a SAM getting hate and getting their head rip out of their body.

another point to consider is a lot of the less hardcore people which is more than 50% of the game population liked abyssea content, because it brought FFXI difficulty from old FFXI hard to WoW hard..... abyssea is like a drug you just can't help liking being god in the game.... maybe they'll add mini expansions that add more abyssea zones. Abyssea-Xarcabard >.> or <.< Abyssea-Sea with the uber version of AV!!!
