Haha, Leviathan Theme best primal theme confirmed.

My favorite is still Garuda I think.

 

[dramatis]

As usual, SCH gets fuqed when it comes to stats. Basically the only "good" update is the last Allagan Weapon, Levi and the relic may have no stats at all. Fucking SS.

If you're only looking at weapons, sure. If you look at overall equipment, then SCH is not nearly as "fuged".

 

[Sophia]

Nothing beats Garuda's theme. I do like the Leviathan theme song however.

 

[Stuart444]

Having not listened to Leviathans yet (and won't til I hear it in the game ), Garudas theme is hard to beat. Awesome theme.

 

[desu]

Not exactly.

Even at ilvl100, the Bravura at least is the second more desirable weapon available, the ilvl110 Bravura is going to be veeeeeery hard to distinguish from the High Allagan axe, and may even be slightly more desirable, depending on what stats you're trying to max out.

Also, they seem to be quite insistent that Relic weapons will eventually be the best weapons in the game. So I'm inclined to believe that they'll indeed eventually be hecka hard to beat.

You mean the i110 Bravura that does not exist in 2.2 and which might be added when people roll with High Allagan already?

Unless you can modify weapon damage, or even increase the main stats way more than i100/i110 weapons, these weapons will mean nothing (for now). Well let's wait their customization works (and how expensive it is). From the first look they are not that exciting.

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah nothing has topped Garuda yet.

 

[Xux]

I was kinda disappointed when the piano and bass come in at the beginning of the Garuda Theme and then get shoved aside for guitars. :/

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Wow, this is a 2 GB patch. It's probably worth patching early, the servers are going to slammed later.

My favorite is still Garuda I think.

Garuda's theme is indeed the best.

 

[MechaX]

Man, I'm looking at the stats for a lot of the new Bard gear.

Spoiler

Unless Skill Speed got infinitely better, looks like it's the same old story (tome stuff = mostly best for Bard). High Allagan Legs and Boots look pretty good for it too. But jeez, where is the accuracy?

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah, what you are talking about is Shield Bash. Shield Swipe is the skill that you can use for a few seconds following a block, it doesn't stun, but gives a pacify debuff (most bosses ignore this though). It's main use is it's low TP cost combined with the fact it doesn't break combos so you can always use it without worry (assuming you have aggro)

Shield Swipe is the 210 potency attack that you can only use after blocking.

Yup was thinking about the wrong skill entirely

Do enemies build up pacify tolerance the same as stun tolerance?

BRDs don't need ACC. They hit with SONG.

They could drop the second damage buff trait and add an accuracy buff trait.

Pretty much yeah, worst is that the only i110 bow has no acc at all. Made my BiS (without considering beating T9 for now) with as much acc focus as possbile, turned out like this: http://xivdb.com/?Wardrobe/9742 (would use High Allagan Choker if the acc is not needed) . Which looks roughly similiar to how it is now (just a bit more tombstone gear for accessories).

Gonna have to have a looooooooooooooooooooooooong talk with my BRD then because when people start dropping like flies, that limitless mana as SMN takes a hit...=D

So much new information! I'm going to have to sit down later tonight and really go through it all. It's a bit overwhelming.

I'm excited, though.

Item chart forr quick comparison (stolen from reddit)

 

[Number45]

If you have a good aggro lead, and RoH debuff is up, there's no reason not to. Damage is decent enough, and it's low TP means you actually gain net TP due to passive regen. For longer fights it's really good to prevent you from every getting TP starved.

ilevel is generally most important. From there different tanks have different preferences. Based on i90 shields I prefer Onion(a high chance/low rating shield), since I value increased chance at mitigation over slightly less long term mitgation. With 2.2 though depending on where you are the choice may be made for you as there aren't a lot of options for the new tiers.

Nice, thanks for the detailed breakdown.

Toad e Mini confirmed lol awesome.

 

[aceface]

Well Tomo, if you're on when I'm on, I'd love to help you through T1 - 4. Still not completed T4 but I have enough experience that I am confident we could do it if we can get a good PUG (or FC group now with the lock out gone).

Once I take care of T4, I'll be practicing T5 as well. Been watching quite a few vids of it today .

Sounds good. Only tried Turn 1 and failed cause we had a few drunken pugs. Looking forward to doing it again. I think I'm usually on pretty late for you guys though? Although I have been seeing you on later.

 

[devious.one]

Can't wait to see Mini casted on a Lalafell.

Now we're just talking nonsense! Nonsense, I say!

As for the tutu, I don't think I'll every get the opportunity to see it on my character? Why? Because I'll be Glamour'ing that as soon as I receive it. I'm really not sure what Square-Enix was thinking regarding the one. :/

Hopefully the High Allagan gear looks nice [I don't think it's been shown yet, has it?].

 

[Tabris]

I'm going to post this here as a lot of people don't check neogaf.guildwork.com.

If you're on Ultros/GAF, we're looking for 3 players for a PST schedule 2.2 static (leviathan ex, moogle king ex, coil 1-5 farming / twin clearing, etc) that will be starting Sunday 2pm PST (gives people time to catch up on story, i90 gearing, and misc quests) and will have a weekly schedule of Tuesday 9pm-11pm, Thursday 9pm-11pm, and Sunday 2pm-4pm.

Here is the roster and openings:

PLD - Riou Midgard
PLD/WAR - Empty Spot
SMN/BLM - Empty Spot
BRD - Skoje Paleologos
MNK - Moara Din
BLM/BRD/MNK/DRG - Empty Spot
WHM - Tirazel Ashtari
WHM/SCH - Avatar Korra

Requirements: Mumble, Cleared EX Primals & Coil 1-4, and someone who can make the schedules outlined 90+% of the time.

Post on thread in neogaf.guildwork.com if interested, or just PM me here with your character name/job.

Wow, Leviathan's theme certainly is...something. I'm not sure if I like or dis-like it at the moment, but I do love the guitar segments.

The other music is great. All of the Coil/dungeon songs greatly please me.

Although I'm currently stuck on Titan X and Turn 1 (bows head in shame). I am really excited for the new patch. Hopefully, there will be an influx of people really looking to down the EX primals and Turns 1-5 and be serious about it. I know it's a tall order. but I'm determined to be done with current EX primals and Turns 1-5 in approximately two weeks at most. At least I know everyone level 50 will have no excuse not to be at least ilvl 90+ when joining DF groups. Wishful thinking, I know.

 

[chrono01]

If I use my Phial of Fantasia on anything, it will be to become a Lalafell.

I know, I will be added to their growing numbers, but I cannot dis-credit their adorable-ness.

You got it, assuming everything goes according to plan.

 

[Kenai]

If you're only looking at weapons, sure. If you look at overall equipment, then SCH is not nearly as "fuged".

Yea, SCH's gear is overall much better than last tier. High Allagan Choker, Bracelet, and Earring are all better than Tome, and the pants are basically interchangeable. Kinda bummed both sets of gloves "suck" though.

You got it, assuming everything goes according to plan.

SE is usually pretty good about getting them up on time, even early (~15-30 min sooner). The real fun will be seeing if they stay up the next few days after without requiring more downtime.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was referring to.

I'm sure the servers will be up on-time, however as to whether or not they will be stable, is another matter entirely.

It had better be, well, by evening-time anyway. We have new content to explore!

2.1 was fine in the morning.

 

[klee123]

Has it been revealed how much of the new tomes are needed for the new lvl 110 gear?

I'm assuming it's the same as the myth gear before right? 825 for the top and leg and 496 for the head, arms and feet.

 

[chrono01]

2.1 was fine in the morning.

This bodes well, indeed.

I wasn't able to try 2.1 until the evening, so I wasn't sure how it was earlier in the day. This definitely gives me hope for 2.2.
