Dynamis and Limbus Get a Makeover! (08/04/2008)

[aznmajiktaru]

looks more like the marine dudes from pirates of the carribean >_>

[Spider-Dan]

I guess in the future, Squenix should just make all new relic armor black. Then no one will complain.

[Callisto]

They're going to have to make something pretty buff to outdo what's already available to COR via AF/Denali/Skadi/Paluwhan/Crimson, otherwise COR Relic is likely to just be a few pieces that you swap in for specific JAs and don't use otherwise. Not neccesarily a complaint, just that a mix of pieces from those sets are already very powerful for COR.

I'm personally looking forward to AF+1 hat and boots more than anything.

[ronin sparthos]

BLU AF+1 body is pretty much a shoo-in for being all sorts of amazing for the job along with COR AF+1 hat/boots.

COR AF+1 body also has potential to be pretty good.

[Sho]

This would be the reason behind COR Jacket being Naval Blue. Even tho it's been mentioned already a few times:

Wiki ftw.

Or they could both be shit, because all good NQ AF pieces receive no good enhancements. Except BRD.

[Alistaire]

Not gonna rescan the thread, think someone mentioned thinking old jobs might get something too? Only way they'd do that would be making it so each job has a cape AND belt, but this update is already bursting at the seems with win...

It really wouldn't take much, hell for the boots if they just added +1 STR/AGI and maybe 2 more RAcc they'd be the single best WS piece in the slot hands down. Same thing with Hat if you added 1-2 more STR and 2 more RAcc.

And everyone knows they're going to add INT, CHR, Enmity, -Spell Interruption Rate %, and some wind elemental resistance.

[Pamelita]

I'm not disappointed!

I can't complain about this update.

The way most people play COR that probably wouldn't fetch many complaints.

[Deader2818]

Im almost thinking they will add an Enhances Random Deal effect to one of them.

Like the Loaded Deck merit.

Id be pretty happy if they added Rapid Shot to a piece as well.

Also, I wouldnt be shocked to see +MP added to some of the relic armor.

Like I told my LS, I'm hoping that COR Relic has all DD stats. That way most people with COR leveled won't be interested in it since it doesn't have MP.

And I personally can't pick what JA I'd really like buffed if there is going to be another swap piece aside from another piece that does what AF Hat does. Adding a meritable ability to a single gear piece kind of sucks for those who already meritted it. QD is already a pretty powerful JA, and I can't think of any other JAs they could 'enhance' without doing exactly what there's already merits for. To be honest it'd be nice if something had Recycle, Steel Bullets are fucking expensive, lol.

Edit: And something with more than 2 AGI in the hands slot would be stellar as well.

[BRP]

"Anct Beastcoin do you need it? 1k"

(otherwise, nice stuff)

[drewbixcube]

Thanks SE for not giving me Luzaf's black Tricorne (

[Hyan]

I wonder how long they can keep doing these update every 2 days thing. Hopefully 4 weeks @_@

[nitsuj]

They're gonna make COR relic either attack/accuracy/haste based (they've said before that relic was made to enhance how people ended up playing the job vs how they originally intended the job to be played I believe) in which case it could be pretty decent for Joyeuse builds

BUT

If they're smart they'll just make 3-4 of the pieces do "Enhances Phantom Roll", "Enhances Loaded Deck", "Quick Draw recast -2" etc. Just let it enhance our job as a whole, in which case it wouldn't have to compete with our Dusk/Skadi/Paluhwan/Blood builds we already have.

(Honestly I'd be happy if the armor was all /mage based. Give me something decent to wear on my MP/QD builds and I'm satisfied. My DD gear is already good enough)

I have a feeling we will see Recycle on a relic piece much like RNG.

Im thinking the AF+1 body or hat would have rapid shot on it. Just a feeling.

With the MP thing, I can see them doing it to one person of our relic much like bard relic pants being the only piece that gives MP, and a good amount too. I'm sure they see alot of people going COR/WHM, or COR/RDM for end game events and think its a good idea.

But yeah, I really hope the AF+1 and Relic pieces (not to mention belt or cape) add to our DD aspect. Would be nice to get some rattk gear but at the time, it feels COR DD lacks a bit for endgame stuff.

The main issue is shooting for TP is pretty slow. And we dont get much for hexaguns as it stands. Hopefully the update brings a decent weapon and more DD gear for us.

Then again, there is always Death Penalty.

[Kirbyprime]

If they were making relics compliment how players play, it'll be mostly mage buffs =/ considering must JP like subbing WHM, and the pathetic waste of space NA likes to sub WHM, use lv 22 bullets, wear full AF, use rolls once a minute then stand there like a moron.

Else, if it's melee stats, I'll endure the blue.

[huckster]

Here's a brief comparison (only BLU):

http://gnu.univ.gda.pl/~huckster/ff11/blu_blu.jpg

Legs, head - look almost the same as AF1 (only color changed)

Feet, hands - some minor changes (like laces in AF2)

Body - new front, new sleeves.

IMHO BLU will now look like a badass not some baroque shit
