Hey guys
Finally dropped some gil on Claid and got some augs and just wondering if my Claid beats a fully upgraded Dex Uson...
+15 DMG
+3 DA
+7 Acc/Att
After much gil spent, this is all I could muster for now with +1 stones.

Yes, that smacks Uson in the face. Try to improve the accuracy when possible, but for now it's great. Just make sure the accuracy loss is made up for in armor and you're all set.

Awesome, dead chuffed with that then, thanks Oraen!
Will drop some more snow on it for some more acc/att as I have lost a bit from losing the Uson. I can make a tweak here or there to other gear to make up for it until I can afford that.
Thanks again :)

Wonder what kind of spells we're getting. Since I think we pretty much got our final set of nuking spells. Wonder if it is going to be physical spells? Enhancing spells? NM spells?!!

Mighty Guard!! I want some iconic spells lol. Maybe Spike Flail finally, people been asking for that since BLU was first announced.

I'm trying to think of a spell that either grants bonus crit rate or multi attack. I'm drawing a blank, but it sure would be grand for that. Mighty Guard would be wonderful, perhaps some new UL spells from families we haven't touched yet. I wonder if they love BLU enough to give us critical hit rate as a trait.

If we get Spike Flail, I hope it does more damage if we turn our backs on the mob =D

Head has base refresh which is always nice. Body is one of the best TP/WS pieces around, and +2s are super cheap on Sylph. Hands and feet are phenomenal accuracy down path B. Legs have refresh down path D. They all have their uses.

Watched a bunch of old Youtube videos and I think that's Mighty Guard from Shinryu we might be looking at there.

Mighty Guaaaard!
Thoughts on what it will do? My guess is Pro+Shell and Adloqium. An alternative could be a migawari-like effect, or a mini Perfect Defense.
The version Shinryu uses is 15% HP recovery, Regain, Damage Shield for 1 minute.

90% chance that is Mighty Guard.*
50% chance it is useful.*
25% chance it is super useful.*
10% chance it is OP.*
* Source: Official Brady Guide/made up.
So OP would be: 1 minute damage Shield with or without regain effect.
Super Useful: Migawari and regain.
Useful: Pro/Shell with regain.
Not as useful: Reverse of Bulwark, nullify one magic damage source.

Guessing it will be a full pro/shell, with a short duration regain or small cure.

Expecting it to be a damage reduction phalanx (similar to Barrier Tusk) and a small Regain effect. They surely won't give us complete invulnerability.
Also: really hope they go back and adjust some existing UL spells. Things like Thunderbolt and Gates of Hades are even more useless than before now that we have Anvil Lightning and Searing Tempest, for example.

Not familiar with Gust, but those all sound like UL spells.

Yeah they do, the vagary NMs and Shinryu.

All of em are trash besides potentially Mighty Guard :(. MDB down from Tearing Gust might be ok but otherwise... meh.
