DISCUSSION: 07/08/2013 Version Update, SAM wins mantle contest

[fantasticdan]

Didn't SE mention there would be 5 new sets of armor? did I miss them? from all the posted ones, there's still no bodies/legs for the most part, unless they meant like head/feet sets from Nakaauls...

There were supposed to be 5 sets of armor from skirmish (and more bayld sets as well?), seems like that might have got pushed back?

[Toth]

The 5 new sets of armor was from skirmish wasnt it? That will be in the august update if so.

They will be from higher coalition levels so yeah, no until next update unfortunately.

[Classikmage]

WTF is this shit? o.O

[macross]

could just be reading the data wrong too on those crazy #s

That club is a chatoyant magian club.

[suji]

Some of this gear looks like it could be best for both TP and WS... I wonder if they're trying to reduce our inventory woes by reducing the amount of gear swapping we've always had to do?

[Tarage]

My guess is that the the ammo items raise the avatar's level to what is described on the ammo, and then the item level of the ammo further increases the avatar's attributes... which would actually be pretty good.

See, the problem is avatars were very quickly being outpaced by normal mobs, even level 99 mobs. I'm concerned that the marginal stat increases from increasing the avatar's level won't even come close to being enough.

That being said I'm a pessimist so I'll be very happy if I'm wrong. In any case if I'm reading correctly I don't even need a new KI to buy one so I'll be able to grab one after a few plasm runs.

EDIT: I will also laugh my ass off if SE changed the dats just to fuck with data miners.

So content wise, this update is just the 2 naakuls?

[Byrthnoth]

BRD not being on that club is a kick in the nuts.

[Teryu]

It's also not on delve dagger either ;x

[dasva]

I... What exactly would our summons benefit from being 14 levels higher...? some extra Acc/M.acc for BPs? a few higher points in stats/HP? Seems thoroughly and overwhelmingly disappointing compared to Alternator if these items don't have hidden effects like Alternator did :X

I'm guessing it's going to be more than that. True doesn't currently sound like it's as good as altenator but who knows how much stats they will gain with those lvls... I mean alternator looks like crap if you just look at it too lol

[Gokku]

and missions

We'll have to waait and see, right now I have some plasm saved up so if it's available and I can afford it I will probably get one myself too.
Despite it's current usefulness in group activities, summoner is still one of my favorite jobs.

[Spira]

So content wise, this update is just the 2 naakuls?

new areas, coalition assignments for those areas, and the naakuals

[Classikmage]

Hmm, if that club is real, might be a bit more demand for perfect Genbu's Shield augments. Incoming inflation on Genbu's Scraps?

[Spira]

I'm guessing it's going to be more than that. True doesn't currently sound like it's as good as altenator but who knows how much stats they will gain with those lvls...

I'm kinda curious to know myself. at the very least BPs will see some form of improvement based on raw improvement of stats... especially the physical ones.

[shepardG]

HELL YEAH NEW AMMO FOR MY???? ????... Yoichi?

DMG 87...

>¿<

Yoichi w/ new ammo : 213 base dmg
anni with new ammo : 329 base dmg

That is flatout wack sauce if its correct. is 58 delay supposed to cover that DPS gap.... Cause.....

[Fival]

I want to assume typo but after the last update i can't assume anything, so great axe skill +188 on Ixtab. I don't even know how to approach that line of thinking.

[Jem]

Probably in the minority here but +188 skill doesn't excite me all that much.

[dasva]

BRD not being on that club is a kick in the nuts.

Also a kick in the nuts to everyone who just finished making bunchs of macc staffs lol

[dasva]

I'm more excited by the 188 parrying skill...
