May 2016 Version Update

I agree. It's great for newbies and for people filling gaps on alternate jobs. The -DT however makes it a great option. The players wearing Loess Barbuta/+1 in their oshit set might find more balance in Sulevia's helm +1 and still pdt/mdt cap. The set might be newcomer friendly, but many many players will find use out of certain pieces.

Heck, I'm on PLD every chance I can be and I use it as a strictly solo/trivial content set. I can still take any unexpected hits, but I can also hit.

Melee need a lot of love in the current design of endgame, but I really thought SE was clued in to part of the problem. I had joked once "Hopefully Sulevia's doesn't have -DT just because it says PLD on it." Apparently, it did.

And you say this just days after I +1'd my Loess barbuta....Let me be great!

Does anyone know what "New designations have been added." means? They had that listed on last month's update as well but that's insanely vague.

A correction for Yorica A.Skrimish. You must defeat the stronghold to complete the objective.

This is also the final quest.

I only use 4/5 the set when Retaliation is up/If using 2 handed weapons.

Hands/Legs+1 are pretty solid TP/WS pieces though. The feet are a great weapon skill piece.

The mask definitely came in handy as a DT option, the body is only used for DRK and DRG PDT/DT sets though.

I am assuming Designations is a fancy word for Titles.

It's not even that good for PUP, which still gets Herculean, Samnuha Tights, Ryuo body, etc.

Legs are probably the best piece in the set, pretty solid STR WS piece for all of MNK SAM PUP.

Head is the other one that might be worthwhile, it's not bad for PUP and MNK if not getting capped magical haste, since they'll likely take good advantage of the MA-10 combined with good acc. Comparatively more valuable for PUP though due to fewer options than MNK (no Dampening Tam, no Adhemar Bonnet, etc.) Purely eyeballing stats, I'd guess MNK's other options still win, but it's a good option for PUP whose other decent choices are pretty much Herculean and Taeon.

Body and Hands are mediocre.

Feet are pretty mediocre too but I guess may retain some use for a NIN with low buffs thanks to the DW. For instance, more flexibility in gear choices to cap delay reduction while getting only one haste I/II (or Haste 1 + Mighty Guard, etc.). IDK that this is really the slot to trade off if you had something like a good Herculean Boots, but it's at least a viable possibility.


Eh, Hizamaru legs should be better at least sometimes thanks to the Acc+39. As you said, MNK is often hurting for Acc. True, less STR and Atk, but that's mitigated a good bit by the WSD+5% (more helpful for SAM than the H2H users).

Hiza. Hizayoroi +1
STR+47 Accuracy+39 Attack+27 Weapon skill damage +5%

Rao NQ (R15 path B)
STR+55 DEX+10 Attack+48 "Store TP"+7

Rao+1 (R15 path B)
STR+58 DEX+12 Attack+63 "Store TP"+8

At least the body has 10 Regen.

Somethin's fishy!

I say we just ignore it and leave it be!

nothing to see here, move along people, move along!

moving at 20 with carmine +1 and jumbo cactuar cheer effects, was 18 pre update. checked by speedchecker plug in

Good call, that is of some use as a nice idle piece.

Assuming, of course, that's correct. It's so much more regen than we usually see on a piece that it makes me wonder a little bit if it's really accurate and not a bad translation that meant regain (which would be pretty lame). Wouldn't put it past the current skeleton crew, last month we had a couple similar errors - NIN cape text says Mikage and actually enhances Migawari, ROE for Dragons said Orcs... Can anyone who has the body confirm?

So, checking the new sword dat:

It's a lightsaber, by which I mean when you don't have it drawn, it's just the handle, and when you engage, it has a special animation where the blade emerges

Yeah, I soloed Sinister Reign on NIN/WAR with only trusts.

K.

Really? It still says Mikage +5

Haven't tried out these Trusts yet but I really hope SE doesn't butcher whatever it is they screwed up that made these Alter Egos awesome.

He didn't say it was fixed though.

PS: no i dont have one, just a dat swap.

So...did they just not do the ABJ dial or am I totally just blind?

Wow that is awesome looking.

Think that starts tomorrow

So, did all the RoEs, ended with Alluvion Yorcia:

- All Skirmishes give a Kupon for their zone
- The old Skirmish Kupons from RoE give the 119 stuff, as in Otronif +1, Lehbrailg +2, etc.
- The Kupon for Rem's tales gives 12 of all chapters.
- Canceling out of the choice menu gives you a KI equivalent so you can save space

When doing ambuscade V1 and 2, it randomly tells me someone in the party doesn't meet the necessary prerequisites to enter. We all have the KI (checked about 4 times each time this happened), and I didn't put our names on the waiting list until everyone was in the zone. Nobody left, nobody zoned out, changed jobs, etc. This happened twice out of six fights and I was unable to enter us within the allotted time. Anyone else experiencing this?

Move your party closer to the ambuscade book. When I had a few people at the homepoint, I was receiving the same message.

I thought the THF quest was in Windy.

aren't THFs more like goblins >_>?

I was incredibly saddened by this.

is there a way to find a recipe for crafting the new weapons? i'm wondering if they are a cheap opportunity to skill up to 110 or even craft-able by 100, its been about 2 years since i played, and to find how to craft things was ether a trip to wiki or talking to the guys in the guild for an hour...
