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

[Corrderio]

Not expecting much from these.

[Spira]

if we had to make a guess tho, it'd probably be that Magian weapons enhance the new tier of WS by giving them aftermath effects... effectively making them the 3rd group of legendary weapons.

[Raz]

Soooo Numbing shot looks to be not a ranged WS, since it starts with the character slapping the mob upside the head with their gun. WS made with COR in mind perhaps? But considering it has to compete with Slug's damage, we'll see how much it gets used outside of for that awesome animation @.@

Just a reskin of Blast Shot.

[Gergall]

14 new weapon skills. 14 weapon types. Coincidence?

The new WS are unlocked by reaching level 14 in FF14

Just a reskin of Blast Shot.

Ah, true.

[Sho]

I hope Sanguine is both MP and HP drain, or Blu just got screwed by another useless WS (outside of Campaign).

You think Expiacion is useless? Oh wait, you must be one of those BLU that never self SC Darkness for fear of missing Vertical Cleave.

Anyways, it is my hope this new WS is useful for BLU & RDM moreso than PLD. We need the slight boost to soloing.

[Kyte]

There's 14 weapon types, 1 for each ws. Coincidence?

You just said the exact same thing as me. Coincidence?

[ronin sparthos]

Most of the Nyzul Weaponskills didn't suck compared to the hit/miss rate with WSNM.

[S N K]

I'm actually excited about a new GS Weapon Skill finally since the damn weapon was skipped over on Nyzul Isle >_>

[Nameless]

Hopefully the new GS WS gets ratio bonus like Spinning slash but with higher modifiers.

[TacoTaru]

Kinda disappointed these are all just reskins of previous WS. I mean I know most of the WS we have now are reused animations with something added on, but these don't even have anything added on <_<.

[Zubuis]

I kinda think elemental ws's are a good thing. For example, it will make things like THF, PLD mobs a bit better to deal with in Dynamis among other things. However if the ws's are aoe that might not be such a good idea lol in that scenerio. Hopefully they dont do like 100-300 damage though.

[KoD]

14 new weaponskills. 14 Base trial of the Magians weapons. Coincidence?

I have said it once, and I'll say it again. My money is on that we unlock all of these through trial of the magians.

Not beening funny but 14 New Weaponskills Might be a Coincidence that there's 14types of weapons? Idk seems like a good bet?
Not to mention there might be more than 1ws per weapon, just showing one for ech weapon for now.

Edit: I missed someone else saying this ma bad sorry >.>;

15 weapon types, where my damn Throwing WSs.

In before PS2 limitations.

Honestly SE needs to fix throwing and make Shurikens worthwhile to craft for Ninjas.

[Ansems]

I cant watch the vid

[Jex]

Shit looks cool but looks like there going to suck, the Axe - Bora Axe was cool as shit.
Sam WS looks like garbage but meh...

[Skeelo]

Was really looking forward to a good mulit-hit gts ws. Want a excuse to use my Nightfall/Naglering..

HP&MP drain? animation is both red and blue

I'm far too much of a noob to know if its possible for a ws to drain both at the same time but I was thinking the same thing based on the color.

[ringthree]

Random thoughts on the new WS and movie:

Tornado Kick - Why does a WS called Tornado have flame animations? Wouldn't Firestorm Kick be a better idea?

Blade: Yu - Ok, seriously, WTF hax? That Mithra is dual wielding Nagi's. SE dupes too! Blade: "Boil" looks about right for the WS. While it does look water based, it also has a geyser look to it, and it has a cloud animation at the top of it. Looks appropriate.

Aeolian Edge - Aeolus is the greek god of wind. Obviously wind based, and it looks AoE. Probably wind-based in line with the Gust Slash and Cyclone WS's.

Numbing Shot - Two-hit, melee ranged WS? Name implies it might be a stun WS.

Sanguine Blade - Obviously referring to blood in this case. Appears to be a one-hit HP drain WS. Like PLD needs more useful WS's. Also, I think that the sword that he PLD is using is a new weapon model.

Bora Axe - The Bora is a wind along the southern to south-eastern coast of Europe on the Mediterranean coast. Derived from Boreas the greek god for the cold North wind. Boreas was one of the Anemoi, the greek gods of wind. The Roman equivalent is Aquilo. I think the WS is an interesting combination of the throwing aspect kind of being derived from the wind as there are small swirl animations, and the main animation is obviously of ice which is why they used the cold North wind.

Herculean Slash - Obvious reference to Hercules, but I don't think there is any specific relation to ice in the name, but the great sword WS line have some ice effects.

Cataclysm - Stolen directly from WoW . Looks Dark based with magic runes and symbols. Cataclysm actually means "wash down" in greek and refers to the Deluge mythos that runs back pretty far throughout history.

Infernal Scythe - Infernal is anything in reference to hell. Probably the most interesting looking WS to be added. It has an initial dark effect effect around the player which is kind of neat, and then two huge blades or perhaps claws reaching up from the ground/hell.

Tachi: Ageha - Ageha being Japanese for Swallowtail Butterfly, the little effects flying off of the animation are indeed butterflies. Looks like a single-hit WS.

Sonic Thrust - Looks pretty standard, though it might be ranged. As sonic means anything about acoustics, perhaps it has a silence effect?

Flash Nova - I find this to be one of the most interesting WS so far. At the end of the animation there are flashing lights over the head of the mob. Add that fact with the name of the WS and we can conclude it probably causes a Flash effect. This WS might be useful for PLD?

Refulgent Arrow - Refulgent means radiant or radiance. The WS has an animation on the player before the shot is fired.

Fell Cleave - This could mean a couple different things. Fell are mountains or a mountainous area. To fell can mean to chop down, but so can cleave. Fell can also be in reference to an animal skin or hide. So, it could mean a lot of things. I am leaning toward mountain cleave or hide cleave though. Outside of the name though, there doesn't appear to be anything that significant about the animation.
