New Weapon Skills

Hmmmm a bit disappointed with Tachi: Ageha, looks *** ***...... compared to gekko and kasha which look sexy. Sonic Thrust could be nice, probly going to be abouther one of those '300tp or don't bother' WS, but it looks ok. Was really impressed with Fell Cleave and Bora Axe, look forward to trying out those 2 =)

Ofc the animations are the same as the old ones there only so many ways u can swing a scythe or Great Axe etc, the effects are differnt thats the main thing, thow i think 2 or 3 was reskinned Effects

lol @ skillchains. mayhaps we'll see the reemergence of magic burst parties, and the death of tp burn. doubt it, but would be cool for blms with the upcoming level cap increase to be put back into a standard party set-up. god knows i'm dreading more pet camps.

Watch Tachi: Ageha be *** epic. Just you watch.

I have a feeling it's going to suck >.>

I'll take a piece of that bet!

I third that!!! Might be a good SATA WS who knows! but most likely its gona suck, unless the mods are insane.........doubt it but..

Maybe...

about tachi: ageha... Tachi: Rana look baddass why make this "sparkling Poke" :< maybe resking Gekko all we happy :< (about how look)

I swear...Ageha will rule. It looks so *** lame that it HAS to be awesome. Just like Dan in Street Fighter.

My friend noted Sanguine Blade has the same (or similar) animation as Drain II. A drain effect is damn near guaranteed with a name like Sanguine Blade, but if it functioned similarly to Drain II...? Using a weapon skill to increase max HP would be a pretty nifty trick for PLD.

Wild speculation, but I don't have much else right now.

Who? D:

The Scythe WS made me***. But yeah, the character animations safe for GA and Axe are pretty lame. Cross Reaper/Insurgency are beautiful, they should use those kind of animations more!

Who wants to bet they'll be from Augment upgrades? :I

Those look terrible save GA/Gun. lol@SAM though, I did think Tornado Kick was kinda cool.

If anyone was wondering, Ageha means Swallowtail butterfly in Japanese.

there are multiple ways which haven't been used.

And Blade: Yu is most likely named after Yu the Great who is remembered for teaching the people flood control techniques to tame China's rivers and lakes.

So it being water makes sense.

Aeolian Edge disappointed for my THF, well Mandalick stab look good but poor dmg without sa/skillchain

also this:

> Aeolian Edge

Definitely like the Great Axe animation. Not so sure about the majority of the others.. as everyone else has said the animations seem recycled, save for a few.

Doesn't look like they'll actually be any more useful than the current mainstream WS's that every job uses either.

i actually think the GK one looks decent, and hate the h2h ..SE just pushing more lame *** footwork.

The GA looks just like steel cyclone, think it just people not use to seeing that race use it? but i like steel cyclone so hope its good cuz it look nice

lol more than half of them are reskins.

Mandalic Stab was designed to be used with Assassin's Charge and SA or TA. I pulled 900 damage + 1600 Light SC in Nyzul Isle on a Wamoura once (don't know if Wamoura is weak against Light or not but it freaked the hell out of me when i saw that)

I can got the same damage with Shark bite :P maybe a little less, also I say whitout SA/skillchain <.<;

lol wut?

The GK was yukikaze without an ice effect.

Well, at least these don't seem to be job specific like the last set of WS. So, if the new one is good for mnk, may also be good for my pup. Would be badass if sam could use the new lace skill, though I can't see a 1hit beating penta in polearm situations.

Sword one is gonna be weak drain I bet...

yeah but i always hated that block of ice on yuki lol thus i think this new one looks nicer, cuz ur actually lunging and not..having some block of ice pop out of nowhere and blow up ...dun even get yuki's effect aimation lol

Tachi:Ageha... was so dull... its just like.. a forward sword jab.. it better do awesome damage or else there won't be much incentive to use it.

Bora Axe was crazy awesome.

only reason to use a ws more than once anyway except skill chain

- Tornado Kick...BAMF! Dragon Kick but flashier.
- Sanguine Blade...omnomnomnom. HP Drain WS for Swords! YES!
- Aeolian Blade: looks decent.
- Infernal Scythe...could've been better.
- Blade: Yu? Where's this Blade: Yu they're trying to show us?
- Refulgent Arrow applies to the above comment.
- Fell Cleave is to Steel Cyclone as King's Justice is to Raging Rush.
- NUMBING SHOT! Bwahahah! In your FACE!
- Flash Nova...Flashy WS is Flashy, and quite awesome at it.
- Herculean Slash...Great Sword's Yukikaze?
- Bora Axe: @#%^#% ENOUGH ELEMENTAL WEAPON SKILLS ALREADY!
- Cataclysm...meh. I almost thought that as going to be Dark Knight's new WS by the name.
- Tachi: Ageha. Ha. Haha. HAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
- Sonic Thrust looks like it could be a Ranged Melee WS. O_O

So, who's taking bets on which ones will be actually good?

and Yukikaze is Goten WITH an ice effect (instead of lightning)....while a majority of these that I am seeing are "WS Version 2.0" animations (like staff is retribution 2.0 and Gaxe is Steel Cyclone 2.0), I really liked 99% of them...They look promising


Edit: I bet the ninja one isn't bad, nor is the scythe one, and that pld one better have an INSANE drain effect with it (Sanguine means blood red if you guys didn't know from the item Sanguine Sword). And I'm praying to GOD that Ageha is Fragmentation based lol.
