new weaponskill speculation

[deivi]

I really do wonder what SE meant by "finesse" lol... is there more than just Auto-attack and press a few buttons? or are they just telling us dancer is an elegant job

hard to say, maybe the timing of your abilities will be more important somehow

They called the 1mp/tic from Yigit "Infinite pools of MP" when it was just .. 1mp/tic so yeah.

edit : Exact quote

"Equipping the entire set of armor will provide its wearer with a nearly infinite pool of magical power to draw from."

That's funny, equipping 1 non yigit peice gives me the same "infinite" pool, and I have 3 peices like that If only it was like a super conserve MP set, that'd be hot, Half Cast anyone? :D

well you do have an infinite pool to draw from since your Refresh doesnt wear off... i think thats what SE meant not that you never run out of MP but yeah Relic body, Black Cloak and Vermy Take the cake there lol

It's nothing new then

many jobs, esp. RDM&SAM(at least to me) have always something to do with timing

They could just be new WS animations. It does seem like a very "SEish" type of thing to pull. I've also read this quote on an interview I believe:

This is a surprise considering how often SE said they couldn't add anymore weapon skill due to PS2 Limitations >.>

The RDM WS could be no more than a new animation for Red Lotus Blade

(Thoughts of Nephtis on Fenrir were used on this post. F*** that elf)

RDM doesn't normally get Red Lotus Blade though

2007, the year of the RDM melee DD!

Okay, maybe not... They'll have to nerf it for us

a lotus is not a rose, just thought i would point that out

This is true. Though the lotus flower is typically pink, not red.

(However it does come with red or white pedals, but I believe it's more of a dark or light pink. I'm not a gardener or a botanist so I can't be too sure)

theres a huge problem with this line of logic and thats the WS that the puppetmaster does. 3 hth WS use that basic animation:
lol one inch punch
howling fist aka falcon punch
final heaven

out of those none are fire element. almost every hth WS is thunder alignment.

Isn't Red Lotus Blade the one that is effected by MAB, a trait RDM has...? Hmmm.

It's Elemental Weaponskill, yeah, it's an Elemental Weaponskill Red Mage DOESN'T get. Why isn't it Burning Blade or something? Another Elemental Weaponskill Red Mage gets and doesn't have to use a crazy subjob to get

I leveled my RDM all the way to 75 as RDM/WAR!!!!*

*My RDM is only level 37.

Speculation on those WS's being from a Dancer:

I don't think they are... probably Merited / Quested, and not from the Nyzul Weaps.

Also, I think the Dancer will be more of a Single spell BRD. Discription states that they buff themselves and debuff the mobs. So this leads me to believe the dances are not AoE, but only Self-buffs. Of course this is only speculation lol.

So maybe they are more of a DD/self-buffer/de-buffer...

Eh, just my thoughts.

Sounds like a gimp low lvl RDM?

I'd imagine they'd be able to wear better DD gear than RDM, at least. I could see Dancer stacking on decent amount of attack/accuracy and such. Maybe they'll even get to wear Hauby.

Dancing in heavy armor? Somehow I doubt that.

Normal, unskilled people who are amateurs at best when it comes to dancing, maybe. But professional dancers... they can dance in anything! That's why they're so thewy...

I wonder if any of the new WSes the Generals in besieged use will be available. The pld general's Final Victory WS looks cool as hell.
