The Last Dance: Gearing Paradigms for a New Age
I JUST DON'T KNOW
Lakshmi.Byrth said: » Wow, SE. Chocobo Jig II? Way to not address any of the problems with the job at all. The worst part is that an AoE Chocobo Jig wasn't even the most popular stupid suggestion on the official forums. Slow Galka with no movement speed gear: "Come back! Chocobo Jig wore off." I'm very much just sitting there going "Hngggggggg!!!!!"
I bet that enhancing equipment (AF feet, AF2 legs) doesn't apply to other players. I guess it could be sort of useful in NNI or something
Awesome. Maybe they'll release magian trials for Thaumas gear so that I could possibly care about that use. Hnggggg.

To be fair!
It's a lot harder to make something useful to you/me than it is to make something useful to most DNC - especially those that may be returning to the game for Adoulin! http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/April_2013_Version_Update_Changes
wat?

That's what happens when you equip a Great Katana as a dagger
Well, I can also get a 30-33% DPS increase depending how I push the numbers. Still, though. Waaay superior.
 Ignore the fact that I'm on Cor. Also: Quote: Took my Beret, traded it to Benjamien J-10 Western (Inventors) He offered 3 starting Augments? (Mezzotint Equipment?) A: Attack +8 B: Ranged Attack +8 C: Evasion +8 So... You trade him the gear, select a path (no item needed for this) Then it lists on the item [1] ------------- Which I assume means you now need an Airlixer/+1/+2 to receive the augment, of the path you chose. ItemSet 299121
Single Wield sets go? The "NQ" R/Ex weapons (like Aphotic Kukri) are obtainable for 30,000 plasma, which means anyone can get them. The HQ versions (like Izhiikoh) will likely come from the big bad Delve bosses and be difficult/impossible to obtain. Thus, most of us will quite possibly be single-wielding for a long time. What will we wear?! Lakshmi.Byrth said: » I'm very much just sitting there going "Hngggggggg!!!!!" I bet that enhancing equipment (AF feet, AF2 legs) doesn't apply to other players. At least SE implemented it properly and I don't have to worry about leaving my mules in the dust or having to rejig at 2min mark lol. Yeah, I also tested it this morning and it worked fine. I really wish they had just changed Chocobo Jig so that it's AoE and given us a real JA, though.
I mean, is it somehow unreasonable to have AoE Chocobo Jig at 55, but not at 70? I guess it'll matter when you're traveling to the 6-man XP camps for XP? <_____< now i can sneak thru parts of salvage and skip mobs I dont need to kill even faster!

It may have been the easiest to implement stupid suggestion though :/ Can someone verify that the new Manibozho Brais will out DPS Thaumas, assuming one of the augments can be Accuracy?
Up to my 2nd augment on head piece so far:  Got to choose the original path, but the 2nd one and I'm assuming 3rd are static. POL page shows Rank 6 is available, not sure if that's body pieces only or not. Need more Airlixers to find out. Lakshmi.Byrth said: » ItemSet 299121 Single Wield sets go?

Why not just offhand another dagger?
The added delay from the weaker dagger would lead to less damage being done.
Oh wow.
That is so weird to me... as I'm sure it is to everyone else, haha. Carbuncle.Grimalkin said: » Wait.. I'm a little confused. Why do we have to single wield if using the Aphotic Kukri?

Increasing your delay by 85% to increase the base damage of your round by 60% (aassuming you have capped magic haste) You also don't suffer the TP reduction of DW Man, I hate maths...
Thanks for explaining, Ina and Sylow. ^^ If you DON'T have marches I think it's still better to dual wield
Going to dat swap that to twashter for sure! :<!
That reminded me of a low lvl dagger used by a thf in Yhoator Jungle exp pt (SATA!) back in the day. also get fencer bonus with /war.
For Aphotic Kukri augments, it looks like we get three paths:
Prothescar said: Type A: Attack primary, Accuracy secondary, STR tertiary Type B: Accuracy primary, Attack secondary, DEX tertiary Type C: Evasion primary, Accuracy secondary, AGI tertiary Progression for Type A (on H2H) so far has been: zephr said: 1: Att+8 2: Att+8 Acc+4 3: Att+9 Acc+4 4: Att+9 Acc+5 5: Att+10 Acc+5 6: Att+10 Acc+5 Str+1 7: Att+11 Acc+6 Str+2 I am probably going to go Type A, I think. Dancer has no real place in Delve and there's no reason to do other events, though, so maybe I should just not do anything. lolll
[+]
Do we know how many Airlixirs it is per rank yet? If not, I'm sure we'll get theintel before long, just couldn't find it skimming the Delve thread yet.
Type B only seems to be useful if you want to add accuracy in where you need it. For the Manibozho Brais, I would probably do Type B for them.
