Final Form Magian Weapons

[Atoreis]

If the PLD got a almace, it can help getting hate. and some NMs attack so fast and cast GAs that it is almost always shifting hate to grant the shield its usefulness...

but still, PLD not a main choice in abyssea, just saying its not useless and PLD is useful in some cases outside abyssea

yea i know, outside abyssea? wut? new content outside abyssea is round the corner guys

so mnks and/or people abusing brews, just a gentle reminder. your god mode ends this march.

I tried Kannagi outside abyssea in limbus and avg HI was 1700 with /dnc with spikes of 2800. got some 470 crits too even few in a row. I belive MNK is loosing even less then NIN or WAR going outside abyssea with Impetus up. What can be done by WHM inside abyssea can be done by 2x wHM outside abyssea with refresh II. What I'm trying to say is PLD will only be needed as tank if SE decide to make some very powerful NM which could have been done already in abyssea and it wasnt. PLD was already replaced at tanking in a lot of end game content before abyssea and what changed since then outside abyssea? PLD defense abilities/equip raised but offensively its almost the same. Jobs that was tanking before abyssea were DRK, WAR, MNK, SAM? Offensive abilities/equip of those jobs raised a lot with Emp weapons and af3+2 and you overestimate how much they lose going outside abyssea. I would add Kannagi NIN for outside abyssea DD tanks now ( Migawari can probably have much better use outside abyssea too). Imo nothing changed outside abyssea. PLD will only be relevant if they add mobs powerful enough and if that will happen it probably be 5% of NMs.

EDIT: Also none said new content wont have buffs similar to atmas.

Ejin, does the TP Bonus from Smiting Blow affect AM on 2 handed Empyreans?

[Nameless]

Don't see march bringing content that blows abyssea out of the water

A) New content from march would have to provide better gear for people to consider moving from AF3 or Emps. Personally I don't see SE killing off their fresh content of abyssea that only finished last month just yet. Any shit rewards will result in the death of the new event, much like some events did in the past before the cap raise. After cap raise all non-abyssea content is dead.

B) It would need Atma's and whatnot anyway so people can use the ssj drug too in new content, basically making it Abyssea v2. Granted people will do dumb shit (which it will be without ssj mode) if the rewards are good, but I don't see the rewards being good in march or june. I mainly think they use march and june to balance shit out, maybe announce new add-ons for june or so.

Of course SE could be like: haha you're wrong and make AF3 +3 XD

This is more than likely the case. They could always simply do another Abyssea Dimension that revolves around ToAU and the fact that our mirror selves did not defeat Alexander, but who knows. We could just get another simple update that gives us a new cap, new abilities, new spells, and ways to upgrade AFv3 to +3 versions with new additions inside Abyssea, or they could do something like Limbus to upgrade to the +3 Emps where you gather 3 items from each add-on zone (3 items from Scars) and trade to something inside Emp. Paradox (A) and fight some NM that drops upgrade items. It's really hard to say right now but hopefully we should hear something by the beginning of next month.

[Byrthnoth]

I fear that they will:
1) Make Dynamis an integral part of AF3+3 upgrades, without instancing the zone and/or removing the 72 hour wait between entrances.
2) Make Limbus an integral part of AF3+3 upgrades, without instancing the zones and/or removing the 72 hour wait between entrances and/or making everything I want come from Ultima again. Also, anything involving basement zones.
3) Fail to add experience points to monsters that I'm killing for a purpose. The greatest failing of FFXI for the first 5 years was the inability to advance your character while gaining xp. Abyssea has changed that, but old habits die hard.

I suspect that they will:
1) Make Salvage an integral part of AF3+3 upgrades. If you think about it, this is the event with the most similar time-course to Abyssea. You enter once a day for 100 minutes, which is about what you'd have in abyssea if you never got TEs and had all the Sojourns/Celerities. The group-size required is also similar to Abyssea. 6-8 people can do anything in both Salvage (at 75) and Abyssea (at 80/85/90 respectively).
2) Make upgrade items we need for AF3+3 upgrades drop randomly off monsters in all the three above events at approximately old-Dynamis AF2 rates. This way there's a huge incentive to do Salvage daily (and provide the Alexandrite that mythic upgraders need so badly) but still a large incentive for slaughtering things in Dynamis and Limbus.

[gilgam]

no more Abyssea, no more add-on,no AF3+3s
we are remaking Dynamis/Salvage,oh Lv cap stay @90 for a while.
it is what SE said.

next big update will be may or jun I guess.

[Fievel]

Where exactly did SE say that?

[Milkster]

Where exactly did SE say that?

He's trolling.

[Raen Ryong]

He'd better be, fuck Dynamis/Salvage. New stuff please!

[Darkmagi]

I honestly don't think he is trolling. He may post like a retard and not provide his sources, but his outlandish claims in the past have been correct.
If this is indeed true, ffxi is pretty much dead if they don't remove time/group limitations for these events.

[Nameless]

I am good as long as no more abyssea. I am tired of seeing a selected few jobs dominating the event. Either move out of abyssea or rebalance the jobs.

[fredjanx]

I honestly don't think he is trolling. He may post like a retard and not provide his sources, but his outlandish claims in the past have been correct.

He was the one who knew about black abyssite duping/odin/imperial pieces, too.

[Mojo]

He reads a lot of JP blogs and such, so his sources of information are much more broad. However, remarks on game mechanics based on player observations are a big step from remarks on game development. JPs have rumors and speculation too. So really, unless a source is cited or it's straight from the horse's mouth, then I'd be skeptical.

[Gwynplaine]

Arbitrary claims are arbitrary. Source or it didn't happen, troll harder.

This thread got stupid suddenly, more weapons.
