August 2016 Version Update

Precisely my thoughts!

6% haste across all pieces, lol. Haste aug on Ambuscade capes may finally be a thing.

This is great for BLU as it's a decent step up from NQ Amalric. It won't beat HQ, but it's quite an improvement, nonetheless. Not to mention a 3 refresh body.

Also, just shoving every piece into my Req set as I don't care about that WS anymore.

Basically every piece is also amazing for additional effect physical spells.

Maybe the feet ignore the cap as well.

This.

New Animator synthesis confirmed.....

Also.....a new SMN Satchet? That's a surprise.

RDM with Haste Augment on Cape, Carmine +1 Legs, and this set would still only have 22%. Toss in Chironic Gloves since they're good on Accuracy with a half decent augment & from a fairly easy NM.

I admittedly am counting in 15M Gil Pants, but there's room to wiggle it a bit. All in all, manageable.

For melee RDM....

Full set of +1 = +6% Haste
Haste +10% augment on Ambuscade cape
Tempus Fugit's +14% Haste

Problem solved! With a slight bit of overkill, but hey, at least gear haste is capped.

Holy moly, new ammo for PUP and SMN. any idea where they are from?

Crafted

Crapted

@The new ammo. Are they upgrades compared to the HTBF ones? The listing for the pup animator is saying +20 stats, divinator is +89 to each stat, no?

Gonna be another +20 on top of the +89 and they are CRAFTED.

*cries*

Nice.

New hawt WS gear for geo and 3 tick refresh body. Heres hoping those feet ignore magic burst cap.

Please say woodworking...

I'd imagine animator might be since it IS made of wood...

Seems like overkill haste. Could just plop in Sailfi +1 and stop at 25%.

Set is actually pretty good for entry level standards. So thankful, as I didn't really have amalric pieces for nuking. This pretty much helps me skip the line on that nonsense. Also, +3 body with spurrina coif, means I can stop playing SR with the uncool kids and remove that event from my event log for good.

Thanks SE.

I hope you're right, but I doubt it. It'll be most likely Goldsmithing or Alchemy.

The SMN Satchet will probably be Clothcraft or Leathercraft

Well, to actually cap gear haste, you need +26%. I know, SE and their crazy math.

With the setup I mentioned, you cap it easily.

Carmine head/legs give more haste and acc, even the NQ wins with right augments, not to mention dual wield from legs.

Edit: chironic gloves get better acc and haste as well.

Keep in mind, not everyone has access to Carmine gear.

I don't think anybody is using that set as a whole.

Pretty sure my Carmine +1 and Herc head(s) beat the new head for the most part, though it's a nice enough macc nuking piece I guess.

Body is actually slightly better than Carmine +1 for macc, so that's nice. Should beat NQ Amalric body as well.

Cuffs are probably a solid Requiescat piece, definitely good for Sanguine Blade, comparable to Rawhide for magic debuffs, better for physical debuffs.

Legs are the new acc/macc piece I was hoping for and are surprisingly close to NQ Amalric as well.

Feet are pretty nice for BLU, both as a MBD piece and for debuffs. Kind of wish the MBD had been in a different slot since Hashishin feet have BA+, but oh well.

6% haste across the entire set though, what the ***. Total lack of HP/MP is also rather bizarre.

I can totally gear up my GEO alt with a melee set now if I want though lol. Realmrazer is fusion, works perfectly for BLU skillchains.

"Animator P An animator that links the mind of the puppetmaster to his automaton, enabling control without the use of physical devices."

wonder what they mean by that? so it gonna be stronger then the Divinator?

While I see your point.. Anyone who doesn't have carmine access can't afford to be wasting an amb cape on making a haste10 one for rdm

Yes, better than Divinator.

Did this update also include the reduction of Evasion for high level nm content? I remember them talking about it

Neither can they afford a Tempus Fugit. Just rock dat hasty pinion+1
