Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Kincard]

Yes, NIN wearing all their DW gear is really near delay cap with just white magic haste now (something like 78%). Mot was actually nice enough to set up a gearswap that does all the haste thinking for you.

And yeah I was assuming Patentia Sash. I'm pretty sure Nusku's Sash beats out whatever haste belt you can wear too, for an unbuffed situation.

[Damane]

Yeah altough it's pretty obvious info, something we could have guessed, that we already know or that doesn't really matter.
We still don't know what most of us were really interested in knowing, i.e. HOW/WHERE will the necessary "steps/ingredients" required for these new AFs be obtained.

i am pretty sure it will require RME chapters 6-10 to upgrade relic armor to 109 and new introduced RME chapter 11-13 to upgrade the feet legs and head, followed later RME chapter 14 and 15 for body and hands or so. I really doubt they want to introduce to much material bullshit and needing REM chapters 6-10 for the upgrade to 109 keeps AAs and the Zilart brothers still relevant, assuring a steady flow of mats and R/M/E weapon upgrade items.

[Kyte]

Like what? Mind me I'm not trying to be belligerent, I'm just naively asking.
You talked about AA but as far as I can tell from my (moderate) experience you just use Utsusemi there, and for stuff that goes through utsusemi it's usually oneshotting damage (or close to that) so you have to rely on Earthen Armor/Scherzo. TPing in, say, Otronif Body wouldn't really make that much of a difference other than reducing your damage (I'm talking of situations which I haven't already considered before, like the mentioned lack of accuracy etc).
Dunno, just thinking loud here.
I always fought AAs with PLD strategies though. Suppose it can be different when you go with just melees strategy without a tank?

One example would be AA HM when he uses his SP2s. Scherzo is on a per hit basis and he can rape you before you or your mage can properly react. You also have to consider the fact that as long as you aren't in danger of timing out, are the risks of trying to speed up the fight by a couple minutes or less really worth it? It's not like you can spam these.

Given the Relic stuff won't actually be stronger than AF109/119, there really isn't much of a reason not to just keep using the first 10 Rem pages and save 11-15 for the next ilvl upgrade.

[Seol]

119 could very well be from delve fractures/bosses, considering they are only letting us upgrade 3 pieces, and there's 3 zone bosses. Just a guess.

[dasva]

It's gonna be painful to swap between over so many different tp sets (in ADDITION to the typical ones every dd gets) just according to how much exact magic haste you have at any given moment lol

Probably wont be that bad. I'd at most do a no haste, just haste spell and then anything more.

Kinda curious though would it not be better if uncapped acc/att to get mad/min instead of getting march and switching from dw to other stats?

Cait Sith finally coming lol

Did they mention this somewhere?

Official forums.

Scheduled for March. More details to come.

[Ophannus]

Can't see AF2 119 having any job specific stat boosts over the lvl 99 versions. The AF119 had SOME job specific stat boosts(although many were very weak boosts over NQ AF). Relic119 will mostly be stat vomit I think, the 119 piece correlating to the piece with the SP1 augment may get "Augments SP2" effect though

[NynJa]

System-wise we were unable to push Gungnir’s added effect further down the priority list and as a result we have to push this back. However, the development team realizes that this is inconvenient and they are currently looking into making it so that Gungnir’s added effect will not activate on an enemy with the effect of Angon. This adjustment is planned for the February version update.

how about making Gungnir's def down STRONGER than angon, because you know, it makes sense for a merit JA should be more potent than a relic add effect.

[Elizara]

This isn't in official posts yet but...

Greetings,

The development team is currently working on Cait Sith to be implemented in the March version update. I apologize for such a long wait, and once we have additional information to share we will be sure to do so.

Atomos will come a little while after.

If anyone wants to put that in Dev Tracker: Findings go right ahead. Guess I gotta email my little mission/quest static and we make some plans to clobber us a Cait come March. (We have 2 ppl that play SMN; the core is 4 folks, 3 of them casual players. I mean to take the time in between to help them get gear fixed up as far as possible without delve in the meantime once we get new missions done. No one laugh though; I'd rather have ppl that know what they are doing in a lot of cases, tho I'm willing within limits to help them get gear up to snuff. I'm only one Mithra..)

[Draylo]

It's already in that thread.

It would be better if they made it stack as opposed to just overwriting angon.

[Ophannus]

I'd rather them make Angon a special debuff so it can stack with Gungnir and other def down. The debuff could be Def Down/Crit Def Down combined and then just weaken Angon's potency from 25% to 15%. I know it seems like a nerf but making it a unique debuff lets it stack with other def down to equate to a larger def down total(by making it stack with Acid Bolts or Tourbillion or Gungnir Def Down or Spirit Surge def down.)

Saw that on the OF. I read it that non-stacking items for "lore reasons" will be made stackable to help crafters.

I fucking lold.

Seriously, I hope it doesn't get delayed again. Just give me my kitty and I swear you'll shut me up for about 6 months.

inb4 they don't even give her any BPs and she's just a vanity pet like BST frog

Sad part is that isn't even our first vanity frog. Hell it's basic stats are even lower than the rest. So squishy
