Battle System Adjustments (08/14/2007)

Eh, it wouldn't. The mention of zephyr mantle was a joke about a grip that could prevent you from using a WS when the enemy had shadows up.

Besides, all that is a moot point when the article states

Players should be advised, however, that changing grips mid-combat will result in a loss of TP. Therefore, no grip's benefits will be restricted to the execution of weapon skills.

What if it was Latent Effect: Doubles Experience Gained After Battle and the Latent was activated by taking 10TP a tic? Would you still equip it?

[Awoir]

Wow that's dumb.

I'm interested to see what kind of grips are available to RDM. I think that SE will be careful with what they dish out to an already massively competent soloing class.

In open honesty I haven't soloed much on my RDM, so I'm not massively familar with the mechanics of it. I had in mind people like Avesta that solo ridiculous things. I haven't watched a video in a while, but when soloing things like Seiryu, and nuking, I wouldn't imagine he uses anything other than an Aquilo's Staff?
Apologies if I'm wrong. I do also realise that people like that are the exception, not the rule, and any change isn't likely to break the game. Just thought it might be something minor to think about.

Along with given pups A+ in h2h and Martial Arts 5.

Yes, please! ^^;[/quote]

Thinking the exact same thing.

Changing subs erases TP.

You solo using staves, daggers that hit for 0, swords that double attack, etc depending on the situation. If it's something you just won't be meleeing at all then the grips will very much come into play. If it's something you may end up meleeing then if the grips have something like +% mp or hp you'd just end up loosing that buff after you remove it. It's a + no matter what because you'll most likely grab a staff unless you're soloing too weak - EM mobs.

I'm interested in seeing what shows up. Enmity + 8 grip!

Also I wonder if the grips add something for my rdm/bst endeavors. (RDM is 75 just hiding it from ls)

Yeah, I've messed about with some really easy shit using Joy, but that's as far as I've taken it as yet.
I'm looking forward to the grips and really, I'm not too fussed about what the effects may be. It's a nice little plus to a present void in my equipment list and an interesting little addition even if they're rubbish.
+8 ENM I guess would be nice. However with my experience of RDM/NIN tanking (my HNMLS uses them), I don't think it would be at all necessary. They just never-lose-hate!

Sorry that you 'outed' yourself to your Linkshell, I feel somewhat responsible!
