Update files are up! Let the DAT mining begin!

[Judai]

I don't think anything Alex related was included in this patch.

[Destinye]

Probably easier on them to just withhold data and issue it as a patch instead of having to test and Q&A another feature for their launcher. We already know there's going to be that update which opens up Alex HM and the weekly-lockout tomestone, probably cram stuff in that.

It's a decent habit for them to have anyways. Keeps things more efficient going not having excess bloat sitting unused in the files, like with FFXI having zone data/enemies laying dormant for a full year or two.

Heh or Last Stand (Escha/Legion) since 2004.

Law gear is called Yasha, it's i170 and it can be upgraded to Asuran gear, which is i180. I didn't see any i190 gear except for the Ravana weapons.

The Alexander stuff isn't in the game yet.

Oh dang I guess I got numbers wrong, that Garland site is real bad when it comes to looking at items so I didn't check much. Mostly just looked at weapons to see if WAR gets screwed on secondaries (spoilers: they do ;_;).

[Edelweiss]

I don't understand the nerf to manawall. The job already has one of the roughest times dealing with upkeep every time an AoE is thrown at them. Why can't they be rewarded with not having to move for memorizing a script and being able to ignore select attacks?

Could have reduced it to absorbing one hit instead of two at the least.

This is pretty much what I thought about it too. Given how even having to move a fraction of an inch badly fucks their casting, ontop of Manawall being on a two minute recast, it didn't really seem all that OP. I guess the devs don't like BLM having a reliable and useful means of mitigating their attempts to shit on them!

Then again, they've really made a number of questionable decisions in this update, and this is definitely up there.

I'm not guaranteeing accuracy of all info, because I did not fully adjust my parser, but this is every item added i170+

Heh or Last Stand (Escha/Legion) since 2004.

I sometimes wonder wtf was going on at SE HQ when they had to do zone maintenance on an unused zone a couple times in XI's first decade prior to Legion.
I think the general consensus was that it was the combat testing bed for the devs, but that shouldn't be relevant to the public servers.

Spoiler: show

How about that unused soccer field thing in Fort Karugo-narugo that only got used for a streamed special PVP event, or all that unused terrain in WoTG in general that some poor sap had to model/texture

Then again, they've really made a number of questionable decisions in this update, and this is definitely up there.

Their new rotation is going to have to dish out some hella damage to offset extra movement in general to keep them up numbers-wise with melee/non-casters.


Any stats on healing stuff btw? The one i170 pic of an AST's stats page had a laughably low ACC (370ish something) which worries me for healer deeps outside of guaranteed landing stuff like SF/Bio2+1.

cair is the best<3

crit/det i190 bow, usually that would be AMAZE, atm it's, hmmm, hopefully det nerf isn't too bad!

Well, det only got nerfed on auto-attacks... something BRD is apparently supposed to be avoiding as much as possible now. I think you'll be fine with it.

[Toth]

Any idea what level the new artifact gear is?

Thank you very much sir!

As a BLM main, this is what's been on my mind since that live demonstration they did of all the new abilities. Enochian's cooldown was changed to 60 seconds (it was 90 when they were showing it before) but the duration is still only 30 seconds and Blizzard 4 still refreshes it, though whether or not it still gives 5 seconds less with each refresh is still up in the air.

While the reduction in the cooldown timer helps for keeping it up, the 30 second duration still concerns me. In the demo of BLM Yoshi-P used Ley Lines > Swiftcast Fire III > Enochian > Fire 4 > Fire 1 > Fire 4 > Blizzard 3 > Thunder 3 > Blizzard 4. Yep, that's 3 Fire spells. Granted, he probably wasn't using the new optimal rotation. To make matters worse, Enochian wore off before Blizzard 4 landed so he lost the buff and he didn't even have to move. With the Manawall nerf, Black Mages are going to be moving more than ever in an actual fight. That is really tight timing with only 3 Fire spells. I assume convert will have to be used on the second rotation for when Enochian is off cooldown or there won't be enough time left on Enochian to refresh it again with Blizzard 4. This makes me wonder where the room to use procs or Flare or anything that isn't Fire 1, 3, or 4 is.

I don't think it's time to get upset or anything, but I for sure am side-eyeing what they've done with BLM on paper. It better hit like a fucking truck or it's going to be left behind very quickly.

I don't see any accuracy on the new healer weapons.

[Ratatapa]

So i'm guessing Yasha is the Law items?

Gogyo is probably the Law weapon while the Gogyo Sozei is the upgrade version of the law item?

[Taint]

VIT vs STR went in reverse. 33 VIT on i170 accessories vs 35 STR

The 36 and 36 on i180.

So one thing with Astrologian. These 2 abilities:

Time Dilation. 90s recast
"Extends the duration of the target's beneficial effects by 15 seconds."

Celestial Opposition. 150s recast
"Stuns all nearby enemies. Duration: 4s (PvP 2s)

Also extends duration of beneficial effects cast on self and party members by 5 seconds."

Which DPS deserves this most? Will PLD+AST be the new king and queen of speed runs? Speculate.

I'm also struggling to really think of a non-emergency use for Lightspeed: 150s recast with...
"Reduces cast times for spells by 2.5 seconds while reducing magic potency by 25%.
Duration: 15s"

[Korialstrasz]

Anyone listen to 44c7813c? Sounds really badass. I'm hoping I can pull just the vocals out of the ogg so I can figure out what the lyrics are.

That's kind of awesome. I didn't even catch that it had lyrics the first time through because I was just skimming through songs. That said, songs with lyrics are generally meant for really important fights, so my money is on it being for: me being wrong and shit

Pretty big spoiler.

WAR Berserk obviously, strongest buff in the game! Hell, use it on a WARs opener and they have 15 extra seconds of Berserk, Raging Strike and Unchained, probably really is one of the biggest DPS jumps you might get if you have an MT WAR. If not probably throw the first one on whoever you expect to be the best DPS then just use the latter ones on whoever has buff(s) up when it comes off cooldown. If HoTs actually don't break Divine Veil it might even be worth throwing on a PLD MT. Divine Seal Regen/Medica2 on them and then pop Divine Veil and extend it all by 15/20 seconds. Dude just straight up won't be taking damage for a while.

[Korialstrasz]

that's Ravana phase 2

Well nevermind then (ノ゜Д゜)ノ 彡 ┻━━┻

[orinthia]

Someone make an extended of it (~44c7813c - bgm_ex1_ban_ravana_02 filenames)! Or we can just wait for the eventual soundtrack release...
