Gonna post as I finish pieces and let other chime in. 20,000xp in Dynamis is quite the grind at 99 when most mobs give 100 or less and DRK isn't exactly a dynamis job. Working on feet first to test desperate blows augment.


AF2+2 Feet "Enhance LR" is exactly the same as AF2/AF2+1

Here's hoping it "converts DB effect to magic haste" ;3 If it adds more JA haste to desperate blows, I can safely throw that ***in the dumpster now before farming touches.

I'm currently building my assasin's armlets and duelist boots. Both are already +1 so won't take long. got 12 touch's last night in the dunes. As both pieces are macro pieces, I'd have to avoid using macroes while getting the xp, but they both look fun.

If you're feeling lazy, just move other gloves or boots to your sack or satchel... you can use the macros but it won't change that slot.

Yeah thats what I'm doing, works well.

We got 23 touches last night, thinking 30 a night would be easy.

Good idea. I'll do that. Not because I'm lazy though, lol.

I'm doubting it lets you go over cap :/ they couldn't even do that for Apoc. Probably increases damage during Desperate Blows or some crap.

I am thinking it might be extra 1.25% JA haste per DB merit, so instead of 5%, you get 6.25% per merit. Therefore, instead of 5 merits to cap the 25% JA haste, you now only need 4 merits to cap. And the other merit you can use to spend on Dark Seal, which I believe will be brought to every 5 minutes at default after the merit II update that they promised.

So I guess someone can test it by taking down DB from 5/5 to 4/5 and see if they are still getting the 25%.

Least u lot got something to talk bout. My BLU pants with enhances Assimilation are just broken and not working at all --- Funny how poorly made this update was. As for BLU, did SE even think this out to the end? Altho the pants are broken but do they really want us to fulltime them to get "more" spellpoints? ... or does it just cap out at 4 merits now? i dont get it ...

Here's to hoping that enhance muted soul = -% damage taken during souleater!


(I know, but its a pipe-dream I felt like expressing, just like SE's "balance.")


Also DRK/DNC is amazing Dynamis job.

Feet don't do a thing with 5/5 desperate blows.

My guess is that it makes the 5% per merit 6% or maybe 6.25% so you can cap at 4/5 but I'm not sure why anyone would bother.

Since AF hands are *** for Cata and entropy: I'm hoping the gloves give something like another 10 acc to DE. My accuracy is atrocious in VW.

you test if they add haste in any other way? magic/gear also test if they make DB haste affect spell recasts.


i need more steps to upgrade even i did hands and blu head first

Haven't finished my gloves yet, which piece augments Blood weapon? I may work on that next, as some of the other job 2hr enhance pieces increase duration. Which wouldn't at all be bad for BW.

Also, I see no noticable difference in haste with +2 feet DB augment. Massive waste of time that was. Didn't use exp rings or anything, got like 6.5-7k exp/run doing flytrap>hippo>treant @ dyna-valkurm on the west side. To those of you hard headed enough to put a useless aug on your feet (like me).
