Final Magian/Empyreon Armor.

[Byrthnoth]

You can't use "cool" and "zanshin" in the same sentence, I'm sorry.

PFFFT, OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T READ WHAT SHE SAID.

IT'S ZANASHIN, BISHE!

(ps has been drinking)

[Jinte]

So the AF3 set effects seem to be grouping up a bit; based on patterns, I would wager the final out come will look something like this:

Occasionally deals double damage:
WAR: Double Attack
THF: Triple Attack
SAM: Zanshin
DNC: Samba
RNG: Rapid Shot (I haven't seen definitive evidence, but I would bet that's what it does, though I don't know/remember if Rapid Shot is always insta-shot, or if it's like conserve MP, where it's chops off a random % of attack delay; I'm not a rng)

Occasionally increases damage by a percentage:
BLM: Conserve MP (% conserved x2)
SMN: Blood Boon (Probably % conserved x2, like blm)
DRK: x HP%
BST: x Pet's HP%
DRG: x Wyvern's HP%
PUP: x Puppet's HP%

Occasionally Attacks Again:
MNK: Kick Attacks (Extra Kick)
NIN: Dual Wield (probably like a kick attack; Adds an extra hit to an attack round, separate from double/triple attacks)

Occasionally Absorbs Damage:
PLD: Damage Taken
WHM: Barelemental Spells

Occasionally Augments [Job Ability] in some way
RDM: Composure (Buff duration on others)
COR: Quickdraw (I have no idea whether this has been found or not, but if it has, I missed it, but if it hasn't, the pattern would suggest that it occasionally deals double damage)
SCH: Light Arts/Dark Arts (My money says it's either increased spell duration, or occasional double damage for dark arts, and occasional double cure potency for light arts)

Occasionally augments [Entire spell list] in some way
BRD
BLU

I was under the impression Enhance Kick Attacks was a chance for higher damage on a Kick Attack, same as Catagory /w WAR/THF/SAM?

iirc, someone reported that it added a small chance to kick twice, not stacking with footwork. I've not seen anything proving nor contesting this, though, and I can't find the original source, so atm, I'm just flat out guessing.

[Sehrahin]

Page 39ish says COR set augment is increase elemental damage 10% for a short duration after a shot is used.
Also COR and RDM wouldn't be an occasionally xx augment.

That's just the boots, not the set, right?

[diasetsu]

I was under the impression Enhance Kick Attacks was a chance for higher damage on a Kick Attack, same as Catagory /w WAR/THF/SAM?

It's def a second kick when it procs, somewhere around 5% chance during a round with a kick. I got lazy and never got back to testing what the actual rate was because I usually test in Garlaige,CN, or Eldieme, but they became nation controlled.

thf I believe actually tripled damage for triple attacks, but only on extra triple attack procs.
Rapid Shot occasionally allows your ranged attack to fire instantly, theres still the "recast" delay though.

[Ocara]

I don't have any good conclusive proof, but it seems DRK AF3+2 set bonus is not just straight attack bonus. Seems to be like the other damage boosting set bonus, except since DRK doesn't have anything cool like Double Attack, Triple Attack, cMP, Zanashin, etc... so it can just proc on any hit, but a very low proc rate. I've been PM by 2 other drks who noticed something similar, and I myself have had one hit that can't be explain by just a relic proc and capped pdif~

They switched all the "Enhances damage" on kick boots to "attack" when they still increase DMG, so maybe base damage? Seems to be some kind of terminology shift lately.

[Malacite]

Anyone with DRK AF3+2 tried testing their attacks at varrying HP levels to see if HP determines damage dealt or proc rate?

No, it's such a complicated idea that nobody besides you even thought of it.


...tool.

[Kidnoftle]

NIN: Dual Wield (probably like a kick attack; Adds an extra hit to an attack round, separate from double/triple attacks)

Wait, wat. I thought it was just another trait of DW added on, did I miss something recently?

[Jinte]

well, two things; 1) It's theorycraft for now, just basing what it might do off of other set effects, and 2) it shouldn't be just another trait, because every such DW trait enhancement has been given via "enhances "dual wield" effect", while the set effect is "augments "dual wield" effect"

[lolwut]

That's the +1 boots alone. The set bonus has not yet been tested afaik.

[Jeryhn]

Occasionally Absorbs Damage:
PLD: Damage Taken
WHM: Barelemental Spells

Is there a screenshot for this?

Oh hurp, didn't even bother to read to the label correctly. Regardless, it probably just cuts more delay off from existing traits. I'll know in about, oh idk, whenever the fuck nin base feet want to drop >.>

i feel you

u can try search comment to buy off some groups

thats what i did and met a kind JP that gave it to me ^^

[Atoreis]

After seeing other set augments, -daley on set bonus for NIN would be VERY suprising.
I am 99% sure its low proc rate on double dmg/add hit

[Kidnoftle]

I guess it would be surprising but what you said, while entirely probable and possible, seems to correlate in no way with the actual function of the JA

Nor does dealing 50%,75%,100% more damage when Conserve MP or Blood Boon proc.
