Runeist hands looks like the weakest piece, which is fine since Buremte hands are so strong. Everything else just looks stellar. But sadly it looks like the hands are the only truly great piece from Geo. Not even any Bell skill on there. Move speed on the feet is unexpected but nice.

**Maurauc** · 2013-08-05 13:10

Sorry, forgot the AF weapons! Added them in. Bell and Wand for GEO, GS for RUN.

Spoiler: show

And zero Att too, or other DD stats.
But a lot of haste, yaiii! Oh wait...
Tbf though there's a lot of eva, magic eva, increased stats resistance and increase elemental resistance.
Altough eva/meva is getting added to anything post SoA so... yeah.

I still kinda like those items despite their flaws, let's just hope the JS enhancements are not shit.

Dumb question, but is this live today? I thought this was going live tomorrow?

**Chamaan** · 2013-08-05 13:16

Today is already tomorrow in Japan.

**Taim Meich** · 2013-08-05 13:17

Well, GSword will be a good intermediate piece for those RUNs that don't have Bereaver or Senbaak. Never expected it to be that decent.

RUN AF is pretty nice in general. I don't mind the lack of enmity since I can macro in the enmity gear on each rune and JA use. The lack of acc is really worrysome, though. I don't think we'll be able to survive on DEX acc and weapon skill+ acc alone.

Uh... for being only 4 levels under Bereaver it looks like much weaker, especially since Bereaver's 113 is to be considered at rank 15.
Am I wrong in saying that the difference in stats looks way bigger than what the 4 ilevels would suggest?

**Maurauc** · 2013-08-05 13:18

It goes live today. August 6th for the Japanese, that's where the initial notes came from.

In other news, did every piece of gear change, but Xux Trousers? They're exactly the same.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-08-05 13:18

New Fast Cast hands for mage jobs (cool). Avatar MAB +25 feet (cool). Random new sets with now-typical stat vomit on them (lol).

**Sechs** · 2013-08-05 13:20

Wait wat?

So it looks like skirmish gear is in the dats already?

Cizin set: war drk pld drg

Gendewitha set: rdm whm brd sch

Hagondes set: rdm blm smn blu sch geo

Otronif set: mnk sam nin pup

Iuitl set: thf rng bst cor dnc run

Rdm and sch get both the healing and nuking sets, but blu only gets the nuking set and no melee...

Uhh yeah? That doesn't answer my question, it's the basis of it. I'm asking if we know what families are available to those monster types.

**Glizdus** · 2013-08-05 13:23

Beatific Bulwark (Item Level 113)
DEF:45 HP+15 MP+26
Shield skill+72
Increases shield block rate
Magic Damage Taken -25%
Lv99 WAR RDM PLD BST SAM

idk what to say

**Treize Kordero** · 2013-08-05 13:25

I'm drooling over the RUN AF.. that was way better than I expected. Wonder how difficult it will be to get?

I saw those feet too. So far they are the only thing I want outside if stuff if I level GEO.

**Yeager** · 2013-08-05 13:28

I'm thrilled with the GEO AF Armor for the most part, but I'm pretty disappointed there isn't any Handbell+ skill on the actual Bell. Though with more Geomancy+ skill there may be some new tiers reached on various spells.

Much testing will need to be conducted.

Where does this stack up compared to Aegis/Ochain?

someone said the pic looks like a size 2 shield. So odds are it will not be all that good outside rdm bst for mdt sets.

skill up shield maybe? or a macro item for plds such as myself who only have a ochain(and no d-ring). Would let us stack a bunch more MDB gear.

the whole gear selection doesnt make sense, while it bridges the gap some pieces beat higher lvl pieces in certain aspects, I am totally confused. more situational gear my ass...
