To feel perspective, 9%PDL on earring for Rudra DNC set could be compered to +44DEX.

Yes I understand that but that's the drawback you gotta be attack capped which for jobs like drk ain't much in high-end stuff without lot of help. Which depends on select things I know.

Some jobs also already have tons of PDL in current bis capped attack sets, which makes adding more PDL less effective and harder to execute attack cap requirement.
That's why even that those earrings have the same 9%PDL, they will be more impactful for some jobs/set.
Still 9%PDL is just huge on earring and that's before augment, which is crazy.

Do we have any inclination on what the augments on the earrings are supposed to be? Fixed path? Random? Ranked?


Edit: and regarding the PDL on DNC earring, the caveat being "as long as you're attack capped" is taken a bit for granted on jobs like DNC...even with box step. Not nearly as often attack capped as you would be on, say, DRK or WAR.

Oh I know lol I'm not disagreeing was more so talking drk lol. Alot of jobs got so much stronger with these lone it should be nice. I gotta be honest I don't got alot of faith in augments just yet for them.

You need to remember that job like DRK has way higher base pdif caps. DNC to cap attack on 1000def target needs only 3450 attack, while DRK needs 4250 for Great sword and 4500 for Scythe and that's base. Rudra set doesn't have high PDL normally. It's 13% from neck+ammo at which point now you can swap in some gleti's body if you are overcapped on attack. That new earring is gonna be best first PDL swap.

Funny enough we were talking about DRG and that DRG earring will skyrocket Naegling build even higher. Swapping Thrud to 9%PDL it's 5%+ increase for avg Savage Blade (from 69541 to 73204). Whole set only having 22%PDL with that swap and DRG has much easier job to cap attack with Naegling, because 20% attack bonus from wyvern, attack bonus from Naegling and 1h weapon having lower base pdif cap. This is gonna be fun :)

Kinda surprised they increased the MP return further, I guess +3 will be 8%.

WHMs got a lot of Damage Taken. I guess they saw us fighting for our lives trying to stand in because someone was always behind a pilar not getting hit with a Cure. :(

My group(s) have been told very clearly: if you put a pillar between me and you, you're going to die, and the responsibility for botching the run will be entirely on you.

Took two runs for that guy to realize that I was serious then it was no longer an issue :^)

That entirely depends on how easy to get these are unfortunately. The people not wearing whm pants are either a) idiots or b) people who have difficulty unlocking the content for whatever reason.

Hopefully the difficulty will be comparable to af+2 or relic+2 when they first came out, so we're left with just idiots and we can ignore them.

Kinda disappointed that BRD body got 1% duration. My hopes of the +3 being 20% are diminishing.

The patch notes say you need to participate in Sortie as the job you want to upgrade armor for. Is this going to be more like Omen or Dyna D? Perhaps the earrings only drop for the job you’re on?
It says you have to use thr right job to get started, so based on the wording it should be more like Dyna-D.

I kinda feels that's for earring, but I might be mistaken.
It sounds like currency and upgrade mats are not job specific.

It specifically says to reforge empyrean in that line.
