231 skill though, and they've got more updates to go

That katana still not as good as something with augments but it's getting there.

Red Mage gets the trait but not BLU? I hope they just failed to mention it via blue spell traits.

BLU can only learn things by copying mob abillties and patch notes clearly say this is for PC characters and their alter egos onry, soz sad blu

BLU has to get it! It's the best job

Agreed. if they do really let us aug it, it could be BIS for a lot of strange things.

I thought of something today...

Why the heck would they give us the ability to make 3x R/EX weapons per month? So far, the additions to Ambuscade have been expected to last for quite a while, but there are only 14x options here. Does anyone genuinely expect this devteam to make any addition to the game that they don't expect to last 9-12mon before players cap out the content?

...What if final stage removes the Rare tag and becomes JSE? (possibly augmentable) <_<;;

That would artificially extend the life of the addition and I can't come up with too many other options on how/why these things are R/EX to begin with otherwise..

Maybe Asuran Fists will WHIFF all 8 times?






Hahaha


Fixed it for you.
It's pretty significant if they cranked it up to 99% hit rate.

Asuran Classic (0.95)^8 = 66% chance for all 8 hits to connect
The New Asuran (0.99)^8 = 92% chance for all 8 hits to connect

Raging Fists (0.95)^5 = 77% all hits
Raging Fists PLUS (0.99)^5 = 95% all hits
Likewise for Shijin Spiral.
Howling and Ascetic are bumped up to 98% from 90%.
Victory Smite 81% to 96%.

But even a more conservative 97% rate would increase VS to 88% chance of all hits landing.

MONK STATUS:
[X] BUFFED
[] NOT BUFFED
[] PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO BUFFS

Dark Knight gets Physical Damage Limit V
Monk gets Physical Damage Limit III
Dragoon gets Physical Damage Limit III
Ranger gets Physical Damage Limit III

Interesting how those jobs are the ones to get the highest tiers.

I'm ready for 99% accuracy monk, but only on the main hand (otherwise it would make too much sense.)

RNG doesn't surprise me so much, but MNK and DRG do. Especially DRG, since it's the most attack starved of the 2 Handers.

Ambuscade katana setting up real nice for fudo to drop in a few months. Knew it was physical damage limit, sounded like it from Dev notes. Surprised Monk didn't get higher pdl but looking good so far. Not a good look for Ninja though ; ;

Have to drop all the Multiattack from mnk builds to prevent subhand from having too many chances to miss and screw up impetus count.

Didn't notice the sword until now. Think I'll be picking that up for later then. (Wish I even had the JP on my mule to use Rostam over something like that)

Guys, somewhere out there is a player who lives for Chocobo stuff, had built up a loving relationship with their favorite NPC, just to have him ripped right out of the game in Dec 2018 update.

To whoever you are, my condolences and may your hero Robino-Mobino RIP.

+30 MACC too. I can hear the sound of hundreds of rapiers clanking on the auction counter already.

Obvious nerf is obvious, lol. Even rdm gets it.

Also the fact that /dnc gets T1 but not /nin makes it..... Interesting.

You don’t even play the game, let alone have a Rostam on your mule.

Gonna use axe for cloudsplitter builds eventualy. Figure on one or two more upgrades with 30 mab finally.

The PDL seems to try to rebalance some jobs a bit. It gives DRKs ridiculous attack a reason to exist, WAR and SAM got the smaller upgrades due to them already being very strong. I'm suspecting a future BLU spell combo to have PDL.

The real question is how big is each tier.

I do play the game... I'm just not on Sylph anymore. And no I don't have Rostam, seeing as I said I don't have the JP to even use one. lol

It'll be like:
1% per tier... multiplicative.
And the +25% on Dyna weapons will be 25% of a tier.

Dagger's the same stats and COR can use it too. XD
... And these stats are still going to go higher.
