cool earring for those without Roundel Earring (me) but man ***body/hands except maybe Regen macro with new Regen IV

depends on how the enhances afflatus solace works out.
as any whm would know, afflatus solace gives ss to cures and enhances sacrifice. the cap for ss though is 1/3 of what the cure wouldve been, so depending on how this enhances solace it may be better than nobles tunic.

My own observations:

-No enhancement to Afflatus Misery... why?

-Orison Bliaud +2... unless the enhancement to Afflatus Solace is Cure Potency >+12%, is totally trash. I can't believe how good almost every other jobs AF3+2 body/hands are... and how bad WHM got screwed.

-Orison Earring is subpar.

Regen IV must be really *** awesome... otherwise, WHM got shafted hard in a unpleasant way.

or by enhances allows you to give stoneskin with curaga spells instead of just single target spells

that would be cool.


honestly i dont care the augment why cant they give me a body to full time in?

well i dunno i guess i take that back. if it were 50% of the cure or higher for stone skin amount.


i dunno it would be weird walking away from 10-12% cure pot. i bet its like longer than 30 seconds or some ***

Body still doesn't beat Noble/Artisocrats

Oh, you know what the enhancement to Afflatus Solace is already? That's cool.

The way you get past this is:-

Hands(af3+2) - Body(af2) - Regen 4 (Onry, with Accesion)

5/5 Orison +2 - Bar-elemental Spells

Surya Staff +1 whms, will now get +2 - if +10 Cure potency, use "AF3+2 Body" for Afflitus Solace (stoneskin ???Dmg?) - Sell Nobles if Surya Staff +2 has +10%, for those who have cure potency cap like me, and lack the +2% from Aris, get the Orison Earring (which im guessing easy to obtain).

So, new healing body would be "AF3+2 Body" IF the Suryas Get +10% Cure Potency, that is my conclusion anyway... But we all must see what the new body brings, is it Enhancing Stoneskin with Solace? or Is it not? We will soon see!!!

<3 Shaj! (whm4life)

7 more stupid bottled pixies for me ><


if Surya +2 is anything over 20% i'm just gonna freak out in a good way

cure5/6

I think you're being a bit optimistic even thinking that the the update to the Surya's Staff +1 will be anything more than +DMG or 1-3% Cure Potency.

And I wasn't looking for a way to "get past" anything. I'm really just questioning why there's no enhancement to Afflatus Misery. It's ***.

Not going to talk about the Orison Bliaud +2 anymore. Speculation about an item that I'm sure somebody will have in a week is stupid.

After looking at the AF3+2 again, it just looks like most of the new equipment for all the jobs are just situational macro pieces again with few contenders for a full-time position.

Gonna be 25 no doubt, affinity +6 incoming for acc/dmg, and -6 perp? for smn ones I believe ones at 85 were -5.

well does afflatus misery really need to be enhanced? o.O one esuna with misery cures everything short of amnesia as long as the whm is inflicted with it too.

You don't see any room for improvement? Even if you don't, I don't think it's cool to enhance one job ability and ignore the other. They could do a lot more with both, honestly.

Holding my breath on the body until I see exactly what "Enhance Afflatus Solace" does. Could mean a lot of things such as larger Bar- resistances, higher Stoneskin cap, more % of Cure transferred as a Stoneskin, etc etc...

As it stands right now, it's very easy to get 50% cure Potency on WHM (20% on staff, 10% on body, 10% on ring with latent easy to trigger with 2x Merit Abyssites, 7% on +1 AF Head, and 3% on cape), so if this "Enhance Solace" works on stoneskin cures, it would be possible to make up the 10% on other pieces of gear (5% on Augur's Mitts, 2-3% on neck, 2% earring, probably not even needing this much since we'll probably get another Cure potency boost with the Light Staff trials). Again, holding judgment on the body piece until more information is known, but for now I'm on the "Meh" side of the category.

As a passionate Regen fan, I absolutely love getting Regen IV and gloves that enhance the duration of Regen. Again, I am also curious as to how "Enhance Divine Caress" is going to be like.

The earring is apparently the typo. According to the SE site, it only gives -3 Enmity, not -4. Not sure if that'll change much (I don't use any form of -EMN really :/)

Also of interest is what looks like belt versions of the Sea Gorgets. Testing will probably happen on these.

"Surya's +2, trial 2599. Requires 15 Light Geodes, rewards 22% cure potency."

So lets put in this forum where the stuff comes from? TYVM! :D

/sad face

Eh WHM didn't really need anything, as long as we're the lone job with access to C5 and 6 it won't matter~

I won't be surprised if with the Magian trials pushing the Cure Potency staff up WHMs soon won't need Noble's tunic anymore to reasonably cap potency.
This would also mean that fulltiming/idling in Pluviale would become the standard and Orison/Blessed bodies would turn into the new "macro only" pieces.

My own observations: I love the new WHM armor~ Thank you, SE!

As much as I don't like you, Snick. I agree with you.

I am glad to know I have somehow personally slighted you on these forums~

Anyone know how we get the AF3 body/hands base items?

Dominion npc at the entrance, and cruor npc.

Are you always this dumb?

For those bitching about WHM body and it's usefulness versus Nobles/Aristocrat's, this set says hi



Can easily swap out the Augur for AF3+2 body. (That is, if it even enhances the Stoneskin Effect...)

And Suraya's Staff +2 adds +22% Cure Potency
