Final Form Magian Weapons

thanks so much to my best buddies Uubu, Talrandir, Nynja, Ravenlokk, Flux, Varos, Mikenasty and Kinson Lv80 to 85 only took 3 days of 24/7 abyssea (only 28 kills too!) and stealing everyone's souls in the process

I have yet to test extensively, but so far it seems to do the "usual" 1500-2000 damage with VV and RR, 2000+ every now and then, 1200 crits in the aftermath. ... and I need better gear (I'll always be GjallarBRD main for my group )

grats on your scythe! Would you mind testing VV/allure sometime? wiki lists quietus as 50% mind as a secondary modifier. Usually a secondary mod is ignored almost entirely, but 50% is huge, and as far as i know no one has tried. Honestly just not willing to give up that some of these WS are ungodly strong while the others are a joke.

Unfortunately Allure isn't going to turn Quietus into a good WS. (Allure is crappy MND increase too). Even if it was +50 MND, you're only going to see ~200-300 damage increase, at the cost of giving up a second atma such as RR which will raise your overall damage by a lot more. Redemption's delay makes a 5-hit build excessively hard too .

Big grats on finishing the weapon, but it's depressing how unimpressive it is compared to other Empyreans .

Yeah i figured it was a longshot. Just hoping against hope because of love for the job. Maybe we'll get lucky and the SE people that supposedly read this site will pass along how bad of shape DRK is in to the devs.

Does anyone have an idea on how powerful Torcleaver is? Drk needs a good ws >.<

[Malacite]

So for Gems, don't even bother just zerg the shit out of them? (Maybe the odd proc in case a stun or ability block is needed?). Hmm, I coulda sworn it said on the Abyssea sticky that Blue did gems. Someone needs to amend that.

Yellow IS confirmed AF3 right though? Guess I'll have to search endless for LL & Chesma tips too X.x

flip a few pages back, someone had posted a parse of an einherjar run where torcleaver topped out at 2200.

that's not bad at all, Maybe heroes will give us a decent vit+str atma *dreams harder*

Seems good enough to spend time on carabosse and the fish instead of the gimperian at least.

edit: spelling

[Malacite]

Here's hoping there are some decent Atmas that either grant TP Bonus or straight up increased WS damage.

Since this IS the final abyssea add-on though (as indicated by the trailer & site) I'm curious if we'll see the absolute final 99 versions this update, since SE has yet to announce how high they're bumping up the cap. It could very well be that they're just gonna add the last 14 levels in this one update and gear Heroes for 99. I just hope that the Empyreans have at least some of the flavor of the mythics, adding unique buffs to the respective jobs that can wield them - preferably by having multiple paths for each weapon that can be used by more than one job.

e.g. Twashtar breaks off into a critical hits path for THF, TP for DNC and Songs for BRD or what have you.

Sounds like it's basically Fudo outside Abyssea (far weaker inside) with an inferior x-hit... meh. Quietus not only benefits from a STR mod, it's going to scale better due to the ignores defense property. Neither is clearly better than the other so much as situationally superior unless I'm overlooking something.

the thought of using mounted champion doesn't hurt me in the least. 20hp/tick regen on top of superior vit is sex.

Whats the damage on Rudra's Storm like? I thought I read it did horrible damage, but a friend of mine he saw 5-6k screenshots?


Did a quick search, didnt find anything close to 5-6k, lol...anywhere from 1.2-1.8k outside abyssea, same inside abyssea, but some odd 4.7k spikes, and I think I read over 7k once. No screenshots of course, ever.

Im interested in some info about Rudras Storm also since Im working on getting a Daka+1 at least, one of my friends told me he saw a DNC 3k Rudra on a Murex [Daka+1], but seems Murex give extra damage when casting right? Still seems decent though no Empyreal critical WS good :/

Noone said it was the FINAL add-on. SE said its the third add-on. I can see them making 3 more abyssea add-ons because they are extremely popular add-ons. they can make 3 more add-ons for 95 cap, 99 cap and 99 cap plus merits.
Syenergy will raise to 90 on the 95 cap addon and 100 on the 99+merits addon. The level cap would be also be done at the same time and everything would tie in together if they had 3 more add-ons so it makes sense.

They are gonna make more abyssea only because the popular demand for it and the money they can make from it as well. Ppl will refuse to do stuff outside of abyssea after level 90 when they are drugged up on atma anyways.

EDIT: Yes guys I did quote malacite, and I do think i'm sober. But my INT has dropped more then an Elvaan BLM.

Someone didn't bother looking at the new trailer or reading the thread about it.

I have a LS mate that just finish the GS+1. Trying to figure out the VIT mod on it. He's been using on his Drk and closing in on 1k mark but tried it out on PLD with +60VIT and was doing 2-3k+. So I'm guessing the VIT mod on it is geared more for Pld usage than Drk imo. I have pic of him in Drk gear but don't think it's a full VIT for that job.

[zaps]

Looking at drk vit gear for ws is awkward, but doesnt seems too bad.

Bibiki seashell +4
Relic head +7
ele Gorget
Robust earring +2
Brutal earring
Ares body +12
Ares hands +4
Spiral Ring +5
Rajas Ring
Tern Cape? +2 (seems awkward, maybe augmenting smilo+1's would be a better idea)
warwolf belt +5
Bale Flanchard+2 (couldnt find decent vit legs)
Ares Feet +3

Thats 44vit and 40 str

See anything i missed? found most of this randomly before class, Not sure about STP for caladbolg either, probably dependent on what you TP in, Assuming rose strap and rajas needed, possibly atilla's.

Average inside abyssea is 2,5k-3,5k depends on a lot of stuff. My highest is 5,5k to coastal colibri with just SA at 150% no buff/food except for stalwart tonic, I think double triple atk.
