FFXI Version Update (6/21/10)

[Nevex]

Are you people sure that Aquaveil is actually getting boosted?
The way it's worded might suggest a nerf as well.

With a 100% Spell Interrupt Rate down it takes something like 15-20 hits from T mobs to have significant chances to be interrupted, and even then the spell can still go off. It's very possible that they added a cap to the number of hits the spell can withstand now...

[Vegetatheprince]

Rose Strap, White Tathlum, Hachi Kote, Rajas and Brutal should 6hit if FFXICalc didn't fail me.

16 store TP apparently which isn't bad. The real question is is 97 dmg good? I'd guess it would be if only for the new WS 76+.

[Atoreis]

At least Accession Aquaveil might have some uses now. . .

This...
Tanking would be so fucking easy with that..
Anything /nin could maintain recasting utsu w/o any problem

[Hyan]

Well, I think it's a buff to those jobs that do not get 100% spell interruption rate.

[Toth]

Looks like 12 new exp spots, abyssea, and WoE are available to get us to 80. Just hoping the exp mobs are...you know...decent.

It's Blink v2, yes.

Oh, haha, I never said they're drop from them, I meant, like current Magian trials, doing something like killing the new VNM (or as others have said, while trading x item from Abyssea) could lead you to getting the Abyssea weapon - which I hope is along the DMG+ only route.

Which would suck like shit.

The empyrean staff has 3 jobs on it

magian staves have 6

therefore

the empyrean weapons do not come from upgrading existing weapons through magian

[Malacite]

Wasn't there supposed to be new items added to campaign NPCs as well? Pretty sure that was on the big update chart. No mentioning of being able to upgrade armor from trials of the magians either.


Also curious how you get the Empyrean Weapons now... Guess I was wrong, then. Looks like it's not the OATs, but you get the base weapons out of Abyssea and then do trials to upgrade them.

Still beats spamming the shit out of dynamis or all of TOAU END GAME.

So.. giving up haste on your hands, and accuracy in your ammo? :s yikes.

With -100% spell interrupt you could get hit over 9000 times before your spell finishes casting, and you won't be interrupted (assuming you survive)...

It will only be 100% for x amount of times.

[Priran]

if it is immunity to interrupts for a set number of hits, that will be sweet for tanking MNK/NIN

Giving up haste I'll give you, but accuracy in your ammo? lol?

It seemed like he was talking about prenerf.

5 Rajas
7 Usu Feet
4 Strap

16 = 437 delay 6 hit on my calcing.

[Atoreis]

Casting Time: 7 seconds
Recast Time: 10 seconds

You can basicly spam that on tanks w/e it will go off and it means they have like 100% on be not interupted on recasting utsu. Thats broken

[Priran]

nvm

[Vegetatheprince]

eh nvm as well

[Therin]

Casting time will still be way too high to make it more than a small convenience in my opinion.

PLDs shouldn't be getting interrupted that often anyway - I can see it being useful for like MNK, but I dunno. I think everyone's making a bigger deal out of it than it deserves.
