New Weapon Skills to Wield! (06/04/2010)

[Baelorn]

Oh joy...elemental weaponskills!

[Guitarman]

mostly reskinned, with next to no effects to them (except scythe, yay). couldnt be more bland if they tried. The one guy left developing ffxi must've dialed this one in.

also, inb4 tachi:butterly is the key to AV. (someone's going to say it).

[Lyramion]

Hopefully you didn't expect anything else!

I expected a stylish John Woo Ninja 6-Hit WS with Bullettime, Somersaults and Matrix camera angles.

[Baelorn]

(except scythe, yay)

Still going to be stuck using Guillotine until the end of time.

I assume Blade Yu is named after Yu the Great who taught his people flood control techniques to tame China's rivers and lakes.

SO magian OR Relic/mythic Only ...
I'm Putting my Money on you need the Highest base damage Magian Weapon Trial Completed in order to start the Trial for Weapon Skill.

Yeah let's make PLD even easier to play in the hands of an idiot by giving it a HP Drain WS! Great job SE!

I fully expect the following.

Update goes live (0 mins)

Day 1 (24 hours)
First Person to reach 80 through astral burning.

Holy fucking lol.

HP drain WS on PLD, in any scenario you'd use PLD in in the first place, would be fairly fucking useless.

Also, it won't take 24 hours at all to astral burn to 80. Nor will it even be remotely hard to reach 80, using the traditional way, in that timeframe.


Staff WS looks awesome, even if it's just a reskin.

[Cream Soda]

Managed to snatch it off their crappy server hosting.

Yu uses the kanji

湧

which apparently means 'boil'

another interesting thing to note..
in Japanese, all the SAM Tachi: WS are numbered.. and Ageha follows after Rana at 11.

[Devdas]

Here's hoping Sanguine Sword is Aspir and not Drain D:

Considering the word sanguine refers to blood/red it makes sense that it would be an HP drain one, but it is SE so you never know.

[test123]

Sanguine sword RareExclusive
(Sword) All Races
DMG: 41 Delay: 240 HP +20 MP +20 VIT +4


HP&MP drain? animation is both red and blue

[Draylo]

Holy fucking lol.

HP drain WS on PLD, in any scenario you'd use PLD in in the first place, would be fairly fucking useless.

Not just PLD uses sword for ws's btw.

[test123]

if Flash nova flashes, maybe the other weapon skills will silence, paralyze etc depending on element

[Lyramion]

.. and the NIN one will give you Aquaveil ?

[Devdas]

Poison imo

[Massimo]

Not just PLD uses sword for ws's btw.

This was the quote btw:

I am royally bored...

Spoiler: show

Soo.... reusing old WS animation and putting fancy glitter on it ftw?

Really....?

People give a poop about re-skinning? SE is smart. They know that 75% of all the WS are never used, so wtf spend time inventing new ones.

The FIRST and only thing that almost anyone is going to be concerned with on day 1 is how they work, not how they look.

They've given us lots of WS. We'll have to accept that we taught them that they wasted their time.

[seiji]

ageha look like an impale move so piercing dmg?

[NotGreyheim]

If that dagger weaponskill is elemental... expect rioting.
