Penta rocks the Mire. With BRD and Hedgehog pie and Dia 2, can normally average 1400-1600 at 100% TP. With Mighty Lance and 300% usually 1800ish on Spongilla Flies. Its on Mamool Ja that it usually sucks doing 500-700.

Oh goodness, Steel Bullets for corsair?

I think all the steel ingots i stored away now have a use!

[Amele]

has anyone here already completed all PFC-SL? i just unlocked SL last night so i need all those 5 plus 7 random others plus the 5 new ones ><

my static is about that close, we have the last 10 (SL + FL) and 2 or 3 others on the way up (apkallu seizure, I'm looking at you ):< )

Though I'm just waiting to see which of those adjusted weapon skills turns out to be a nerf when others expect a buff.

of all of those, yuki/gekko/kasha is probably the most likely ones to be nerfs, they were some good already; (I'd honestly be surprised if SE were going to nerf them in that way though) if it isn't a buff; I'd expect a change to make hagun less useful (like increasing the fTP mod at 100 but not changing the mod at 200) rather than an actual nerf of the weaponskill.

Theoretically Penta is weaker now.

Previously at 300% Penta had a 2.25x modifier but if it's Accuracy Varies with TP, that means even at 300% it'll still be a 0.75x modifier....(Unless they were nice and made it 1.00x) I used to be able to do 2k+ 300% Pentas with my 2hour on Flies/Imps but if they fucked with the modifier I'll be a sad panda.

Also Acuracy Bonus II is +12.

Yeah, and now I need a light gorget for that...

Thunder Gorget!

Skewer is the place to be now, Penta has always been meh, besides don't those modifiers only apply on the first hit anyway? If Penta was given Crit hit, it would be like Rampage with a 93 Damage weapon. THAT would be game breaking.

DMG 95 with 3% double attack if someone can figure out how to get a Valkyrie's Fork.

I agree. Could be new jug pets. Wooooot! The Despot patch is very interesting, i'm gonna attempt to solo this thing on bst now. The storage of the floor 100 weapons from Nyzul is very interesting. The patch to the WS is somewhat funny. Drg still seems to be useless.The bonus to assault is awsome, gives people an incentive to do them. Patch to Einhenar has been long awaited.

Patch seems decent, lets hope new items are decent as well. I want a grips for my blm.

PS - The disclaimer for choco racing was funny. Lol.

The following weapon skills have been adjusted:
Howling Fist/Dragon Kick/Raging Rush/Cross Reaper/Penta Thrust/Skewer/Yukikaze/Gekko/Kasha /Empyreal Arrow/Detonator

Huh, I wonder what they're changing. Here's hoping it doesn't make Hagun useless

Why, would be awesome if you could actually use Onimaru or other high DMG GKT (that don't look like shit as Hagun does) without gimping yourself on low TP WS >_>

I still swear to god, I bet they nerfed them. >< Sorry I'm worried, but I was this way around the Penta-fix too.

It's pretty good odds they got nerfed a bit but with the 2-handed update the dam will most likely stay fairly balanced.

Yeah, they might have dropped it from 75% STR to 60% or something stupid to "Balence" things.

[Unreal]

Well since it lists the weapon skills getting there TP mod changed I guess the others are getting modifiers changed or altered. Cant see sam's 75% mod on yuki/gekko/kasha being raised at all

[Jonel]

Can you say "Blade Jin with a 93 damage weapon?"

Yeah, and now I need a light gorget for that...

what?

[Damane]

I can see it now. maton-burns on slime. 6x thunder IV with a built in convert

Decent update... I'm curious about the Nyzul weapons. Is something being done with them that we're unaware of (besides the storing added in)?

The cherry on top of this win sundae will be the Glory Crown issue. What will the end reward for TAU be and what will it do? Here's hoping it's actually not a head item. A second ring or perhaps a neck item would be nice.

"Spiritreaver M-400 head (Black Magic)"
The automaton will utilize high-level elemental spells, as well as dark magic spells such as Drain and Aspir.

Hmmm I wonder which ones :D

Thunder IV and Blizzard IV, at least, I hope. I don't care about the rest.

Mostly because I already have a Hagun and it was nice to know I had the whole weapon situation pretty much handled. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah well its not like onimaru costs anything. its like 3k on our server or something. Honestly the only reason why nobody uses it is the tp bonus on hagun.

[Spider-Dan]

Skewer is now Blade: Jin with a D:93 2 handed weapon (which also got buffed) on a job that can wear Hecatomb :O

Isn't that only accurate if you were single-wielding a katana?
