Check Version is UP!

Multiple stages for the Mythic weapons.. Interesting

[Darkmagi]

75% PDT RUN, I'd say that makes it functional for tanking pretty much anything that PLD can.

[Sechs]

Damage on the final version of the RUN GSWD is a bit low, the description on Liement sounds strange, guess it means it makes Liement become an AoE? Cool stuff but Liement is not exactely the JA you spam.
The PDTII-25% is quite awesome instead, now RUN can reach 75% PDT!
And also both ergon weapons have a special thing it seems, that last word at the end of the description. (or is that the name of the special WS?)

OA2-3 is nice but I'm afraid tanking RUN won't really make great use of it, I mean... you don't really get lot of time to swing your sword when spamming spells. It's still nice to have and it works on Resolution too, so nice


Gearwise I noticed new DW head for NIN, debuff pants for BRD, healing pants for WHM, not much else? Disappointed the new set is +1 version of Weatherspoon/Gorney/Shneddick, but it was kinda to be expected (I would have loved a +2 version of Thurandaut/Orvail soooo much more!)
Also kinda surprised Gessho doesn't drop a Katana, was expecting it, a tanking one. (in light of what they recently said concerning Shigi being a DD katana)

[Darkmagi]

Liement should also be awesome for spike enmity if it gets a bonus per target hit.

[Seha]

It's the usual mythic AM, nothing suprising there. As for aoe Liement that should also work for enmity boost for what it's worth.

[Yeager]

Amazing WHM legs armor right here.

[Streak]

So do you need 30,000 high quality bayld for mythic? lol

[Johnblaze]

While I like some of the new stuff, this is the biggest change i'm happy about so far:
Plun. Armlets +1
Description - "DEF:90 HP+25 STR+9 DEX+33 VIT+30 AGI+3 INT+10 MND+28 CHR+24 Accuracy+15 Evasion+39 Magic Evasion+37 "Magic Def.

[Yeager]

Ok I just noticed something. Looks like Atinian Staff (117 BLM SCH GEO) has been made worthless. Why pay gil for an Atinian Staff when you can get a Homestead Staff for some Bayld?

Atinian Staff stats - DMG:157 Delay:366 INT+12 MND+12 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+25 Magic Damage+195 Staff skill +215 Parrying skill +215 Magic Accuracy skill +203

and here's Homestead Staff

Wow didn't even notice that, thanks for pointing it out. That rocks!

EDIT: They really should have made Ankusa Gloves +1 have Call Beast+3 too :C

[Ophannus]

Nothing really groundbreaking in terms of gear. SAM really made out like a bandit with their Job Points. Most other DD get +3-4 attack or +1% effect during the duration of a certain timed JA, SAM virtually gets +10 STR fulltime added to hasso. Not bad now, but when job point cap is increased to 30, it'll be fulltime +30 STR >.>

[Ophannus]

Also this:

Meh. Would have been so much better if they would have made it Convert 5% rather than 4. As is, you can cap Cure potency while wearing Orison body & legs (for 5% convert), and precast in capped -casting time. I'll pass on these for the additional 1% convert rate of Orison pants.

[Lyramion]

Sahip Helm Head DEF:108 HP+71 MP+58 STR+23 DEX+22 VIT+23 AGI+22 INT+23 MND+18 CHR+19 Accuracy+20 Evasion+44 Magic Evasion+53 "Magic Def. Bonus"+2 Haste+8% "Cover": Damage taken -12%

Could have made situational shit like this be Damage Taken II now to have an actual use.




Also:

Acumen Ring: INT+2 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+4

[Damane]

the geo-mythic looks pathetic, only +10 Geomancy skill and luopan damage taken -25%, no ability or trait enhancing stuff? come on. yes luopan survivability is nice, especially with the additional -30% DT we got for free. but seriously for a mythic weapon this is underwhelming if its not boosting any kind of ability...

[dasva]

EDIT: They really should have made Ankusa Gloves +1 have Call Beast+3 too :C

Yeah but what would that do? +1 lowers the range by 1. +2 lower d the range by 2.... but there is no more range to lower. Jist make it spawn a lvl higher than ilvl/cap?

[Fival]

I don't remember if theres a JA cap and a gear cap for enmity, but i thought it was just 1 general cap at +100 enmity, which sentinel gives, and the new job point for sentinel gives +1 enmity per level, maybe im misremembering enmity.

some equipment/abilitys bypass that cap in a seperate enmity term. For example Tupsimatis -20 Enmity is calculated AFTER the -50 enmity cap seperatly.
