Well, going by those 60 capes on the AH, it will be: Immortal's, Pirate's, and Busker's.

the only job whose items in the same vein as those carry the same name as its AF2 is BLM. all of the others are uniquely named.

Busker's sounds fucking horrible. Like you're a fucking hobo or some shit.

Marionette's <Insert Name> is quite nice, and a tad gay. Perfect for PUP. So were the stats on Taj's fake PUP Relic set, lul. Good times.

[Priran]

only problem is that a marionette is a puppet.

That does give me hope, even though it could be worse than Busker. (not much worse)

[fantasticdan]

I hope blu af2 is awful so I don't feel obligated to do dynamis.

[Tsukasaz]

They should make Dynamis - Jeuno [S] and have the Relic Armor for the 5 "new" jobs only. And have you enter in port and have different requirements for going to the other levels; have feet drop in Port, legs in Lower, hands in Upper and Body/Head in Ru'Lude or something... combination of Nyzul and CoP dynamis systems.

Never going to happen but I think that would be fun. (Also make it so that if a ls is in there another ls can be in there at the same time, not being able to do xarc because people are there sucks.)

Your face is a puppet.

incorrect, my face is a safe.

[Starr]

Gambler's sounds best

[Callisto]

I'd prefer Buccaneer's personally.

[Sagacious Sundi]

I'm personally guessing that BLU and PUP relic armor isn't going to be <something>'s, since their AF doesn't.

For SCH merits I am for hoping for Enhance Light Arts & Dark Arts effects in which each merit upgrade would decrease casting time/MP cost for spells of that art by an extra 1%, and decrease the penalty to casting time/MP cost of spells of the opposing art by 1%.

So right now we have 10% fast cast/mp cost reduction of spells under the correct, and 20% penalty for spells of the opposing art; with capped merits they'd both be 15% each. I think if they did this it would be cool and wouldn't be broken.

As for the new AF, I'm praying that it doesn't come from dynamis still. I haven't done dynamis in a year now and I've been enjoying my time online much more without it, so if it does end up coming from there, there's no way I'd probably get any of it.

[dejet]

sch group 1 merits should be close to rdm group 1 merits.. magic acc. they need as much acc as they can get. sch has what B skill with arts? up that to B+ or A- and then their spells might do more DoT. they really need to work on sch DoT spells like so many said. work on weather spells... cool idea does not do anything.(dont say blm obis i know, dont say the 12% feet i know..., limited to so few stuff sucks)

[Priran]

I actually love and have no complaints about storm spells, not since they adjusted the recast. Increasing their potency would be nice, but only if it lets you go over +35% damage/M.Acc.

[Ashira]

Silly plot related question.

Spoiler: show

Isn't all of Dynamis a dream created by Diabolos or something? I don't think it's all that far fetched to dream up a bunch of AFv2 for the 5 extra jobs.

Spoiler: show

CoP Dynamis is the Diabolos/Lion dream stuff.

RotZ Dynamis is like, parallely "what if we lost the Crystal War?" stuff relating more to Raogrimm, etc.

I got a little scared when Bastok and Windy totally shit up the past last week and all the NMs in Dyna-Xarc and a good portion of the regular mobs all were about 10-15 levels higher than usual... everyone's accuracy, magic and melee, were just plain shit...

I can just see SE having other dire results from fucking up in Campaign too much....

You know, the sad part is that I can totally see them taking weeks and weeks of time to code in something like that specifically because it would fuck us over terribly.

All of Dynamis is ruled by Diabolos, though. Raogrimm mentions the ruler of Dynamis after you finish Xarc IIRC. I'm not really sure if RotZ Dynamis is really supposed to be a "what if..." situation. That was probably an assumption considering Dynamis was released without a real explanation.

All of this talk about Dynamis has me wondering: What is up with sand and Dynamis? There's the Shrouded Sand, then there's the hourglasses. I know the Goblin peddlers mention some items have "souls" or some shit, but that still doesn't answer the central question! Does Diabolos just have too much sand in his Shrouded Maw?

I thought RotZ Dynamis was Diabolos' realm meant to "save" all the doomed soldiers of the war, kinda like how his idea to save everyone from Bahamut was to draw them into the protection of his little dream world. It's just a Matrix-like thing that he thought would make people happy. Raogrimm got sucked in and made himself it's ruler, and it was Diabolos he was answering to during the Xarcabard win CS. The CoP Dynamis was just Lion's corruption of his dream world, and he asked you to find who was responsible for it.

[TaruMortis]

Does Diabolos just have too much sand in his vagina?

Fixed.

Why does the Sandman put you to sleep? Some things we'll just never know!
