Looking for the rest of these sets now, will edit this post, they sound interesting.
Edit 2: Done

[Alkimi]

A group limit quest? Interesting.

Nice that you can get 6 people done at once, but I see an awful lot of people wiping to that tbh.

EDIT: In a Perusal of the JP wiki I've found out the descriptions for the new Sword and Katana WS TP mods have only ever been used before for Iron Tempest and Sturmwind in the JP version. It's exactly what it says on the tin: your attack is modded instead of your FTP. In the English version of the game, this distinction is not made and it simply says "Damage varies with TP" for those two weapon skills. It seems that they're taking into consideration that PLD and NIN may have hard times against enemies with high defense and thus made TP mod attack this time instead of FTP.

I'm bitter that we can't use the new WSs and that the dagger one looks like it likely blows chunks, but I'm more bitter that I didn't find out about this until just now. I have been reporting Sturmwind as broken for freaking years.

Check the last page, Julian and I both posted updated .dats so you can use the new WS on the test server.

There are blu magic spells that are the same way. Says "Damage" varies with TP, is really Blue Attack.

There's also a whole slew of gear that has stats specific to a certain battle area, which I'm thinking is the Last Stand, but I'm not really positive.

[Spira]

not sure if anyone cares anymore but the last one..

phew im done for the night



edit: also i love the semi bruce lee reference when Hume M does the h2h ws.. watch his mouth lol

[Sho]

btw, Mithra Hand-to-Hand ws is effing awesome

Fixed for accuracy.

More set bonus sets, but I guess you'd need the full set for these (no partial bonus) since they specify a value (all level 96 gear for this one). Stats are all over the place and these kinda scream "new teal/perle/whatever the other crap Abyssea set was" and they are indeed rare only (not ex):

First hit on Stardriver appears to be less than 1 fTP. On Quadavs/Goblins outside bastok

SA Stardriver: 380,378,383,377

Normal crits: 449,438,459,447,454

Non SA Stardriver: 302,297

+20 STR (133 total): 384,388,391,394


.75 fTP, 17% STR mod seems to work out. (Only put 1 merit in it.)


Edit: Hmm. 5/5 is coming out weird.

Assuming 85% str mod: 133 str*.85*.85=96+146(D/fSTR)= 242*3*1.05*.75=571 max damage. But I saw a 621 (and a 594 and a 583)

meaning either A: fTP is at least .815, B: alpha is now greater than 1 (highly doubt it), C: it's higher than 85% STR, or D: some combination of the above.


Double Edit: Description is damage varies with TP, and I missed that. 300 TP = 721 damage. I wasn't controlling for TP because I thought it only mattered for the additional effect.

Terrible scaling though, looks like .75 @ 100 TP, and 1.0 @ 300.

Abount Galka WS animation(Thx Spira!):
Cant believe Galka can flip too :D
One hand Gaxe <3
Aiming with bow looks awesome

[Alkimi]

Club WS is good. Messed around in Jugner(S) fighting orcs. 664 Attack/110 STR/148 MND

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r...ntitled-14.png

I'd guess they're all really good once fully upgraded (100 merit points, ouch)

[Taint]

Really wanna see GKT,Bow,GS damage if anyone can test them.


Also does Gun or Bow WSs use more then 1 ammo?

Maybe the fTP will rise with more merits too? /hopes and prays, but knows better.

Is this whit fully upgraded club ws 5/5?? and also how did ur normal hit went from 30-40 a hit to a 600+ hit afther the ws?

[Byrthnoth]

I'm sold. Someone get me an AGI build.

[SargentRemora]

Just tried Pavor Noctournus using Julian's dat. It's Death.

[Slycer]

Nice that you can get 6 people done at once, but I see an awful lot of people wiping to that tbh.

The tears will be delicious if they leave it reasonably difficult. I'm in full support, though I have a feeling it'll get nerfed before it's added to the real game or soon after it's added and the outrage ensues.

[Toth]

Wait....PUP is now on denali????

Edit: nvm those are new armor sets
