It'll be difficult for them to keep them all claimed at the same time.

Last I checked Thundaga wasn't such a great claiming spell.

I'm still waiting for an earring that has a latent activated by Ancient Circle.

Since there's these 3 already.....

Those activate under Arcana,Warding and Holy Circle specifically, but there's no earring for Ancient Circle...

[Xanthe]

None of the grips have any specific job/weapon requirements (aside from being 2-handed) listed in the DATs.

[kuronosan]

For this to be some groundbreaking new system they better have more than just 6.

yay /translate

wtf@mithra/galka heal

hi2uDRG

beastmenseal wut

I dunno, I have nothing terribly useful to add. ;D

oh yeah, yay despot (people still do sky?) ;D

Bah, i thought Mithra /heal was fine. Mithras not closing their eyes always seemed more irreverent and I liked that.

and:

Ancient Circle Latent would be:

Breath Damage -80%


;P

He means Thundaga all the PHs so that Despot pops claimed to the alliance. But it's possible that if the corresponding PH is not claimed when it dies, then Despot won't pop claimed either. Also, depending on how they make him pop, you may have to fight in that hallway. For instance, if he spawns claimed at the point where his PH died, then there's no issue, but if he pops in the alcove that the PH came from then as with Ix'aern DRG and Temperance if you are fighting at Shrine entrance he'll pop unclaimed and hate-free.

[theo]

So instead of crowding to claim Despot, we'll be crowding to zerg down the placeholders. Oh, and you'll probably be fighting right there in the gauntlet where all the magic agro is, because pulling away will be too slow. Every group sending several people out to claim/sleep placeholders, basically turning despot's gauntlet into U-room 2006.

Not impressed.

Despot wasn't that bad anyway.

you can help RMT out by lowering the defence of their mobs with diaga.

Since Wyvern Earring lets peeps get free +haste with /DRG even though DRG main doesn't have any haste traits...

[Rag]

All these grips sucks so far
I hope there is still other grips ... (delay-10%? atk+5%? acc+5%?)

Acc+2 or delay-3% is not big deal when you see /nin delay -% or using 2 weapons as /nin (hi2u maneater+jag atk+30 atk+16 acc+5?)

nice job on the fake grips

they'll make hydra useful, it'll drop a R/EX Grip that has Triple Attack+3%, to suddenly make Algol the zomgbestgswrd. I can sense it now...

Honestly, the Raptor Strap+1 seems kind of interesting to be able to pair a MND boost with staves, i guess we'll have to see what else they release.

Except for that there's a good chance it's fake.

Let us pray that the 2H damage formula changes will finish what grips don't.

you can help RMT out by lowering the defence of their mobs with diaga.

You know, it is such a refreshing change of pace to see someone go out of his way to help people out, even if they are RMT. You should also mention Poisonga to help them kill just a little faster.

But seriously though, who says just the RMT would pop Despot that way? It seems like a fairly efficient way to do it as long as you don't have competition.

Which would suck because the Axe Strap (+3 STR) and the Mythril +1 with 2 STR +2 Acc would be real hot for SAM D:

It'll be difficult for them to keep them all claimed at the same time.

Plus you can wait for them to sleep the statues at ~30% when they rest for MP and have your own BLM -aga them.
