Oh, I didn't know about that. Alright then, nevermind then.
Tome gear:
No but seriously, what is going on with that Monk.
It'll be nice to smooth out picking up Dreads in T8 or something with a better Circle. Besides that, just nice to have some extra enmity.
You're gonna need dat Encrypted Tomestone.
This gear is somehow more Allagan than Coil gear.
I don't even understand.
I dig caster gearset. Healer set kinda looks boring.
Web should also be a soldiery mat.
The gear pictures are confusing, how does NIN have it's own outfit if they share with either MNK or BRD?
Anyway, looking at the NIN skill set, they may end up with lowest melee dps but good support like I thought. The 20% damage boost is nice but their moves have lower potency then DRG and DRG has 15% bonus too, on top of a lot of off GCD potency skills. And of course neither compare to MNK bonuses. Of course if the Suiton buff works like people here are speculating, the support benefits more than out weight the dps difference (just like brd). I'm not sure why you'd bring a DRG at this point, it was already arguably better to do MNKxMNK, now NINxMNK will likely be clear winner.
Ignoring DRG then the question is if NIN's support outweights MNKs monster dps.

Which looks like it might be a quest reward from the Titanic Sawfish followup?
Is it awful if I hope you have to have supra to complete the quest?
Ixali gloves will be great for relatively new crafters, for a fairly long time. Especially given that they're essentially free to anyone that finished the Ixali dailies.
Looks like coil is shared with monk but tome might be with aiming? I don't know.
Side note, Shiva weapons are only i110. Vanity confirmed.
Good for Alt Classes, for anyone that doesn't have T9 on farm.
Easier to get unidentified tomestone and a sand at that point.
That's the problem with Soldiery -> HA being +5 ilvl. Can't have new EX be an intermediate step and it's awkward to have them equal to the previous top raid drop.
Maybe they'll have better stat allocations on some at least I guess. Better question is probably how often will they actually drop :x

True, but I'll be using Soldiery for Mats, and probably the Relic Quest, when they add another step in that process. Anything that saves me 1200 Soldiery will be appreciated, in the short term.
Still, would've gone 115 myself. Would've made it an excellent weapon for people that still need to down T9, and don't have Relics for whatever class.
Wanna be NIN buddies? Forget group diversity.
Outside of a straight up flat potency buff I'm not sure what can be done for them either. They have crap support and crap (comparative) dps, yet also difficult to play/master. The only thing they bring over other melee dps is better aoe, but when you got BLMs who can do that stuff infinitely (while having better single target dps), what's the point?
At least they are still fun in PvP for the burst. In PvE I don't know why people bring them unless they don't have any choice.
Wait for DRG Expansion.

i'm hype for dreadwyrm gear. Get to look like a dragon, hell yea. Screw visors and weirdly looking hi tech scifi fantasy nonsense. Get at me
when they become a tank class
Yeeeeeah, DRG still needs a sliiiiiight buff. Nothing too major, because Master DRG's do bring respectable DPS to the table, but still, a slight buff seems necessary at this point.
Granted, Spineshatter and Dragonsfire Dive will help, "slightly," in that respect, but I'd guess it'd only make 10, maaaaaybe 20 DPS difference, over the course of a long fight like T8.
They need Det on their gear. That's all.
That'd help, but better gear itemization will only go so far here.

the good thing about the drg buffs is that you aren't stuck for 1/10th of second after a jump before you can do a gcd skill. That was/maybe still be the main problem with jumps. The other issues they have is that they rely on positionals way more than any other class and the only good dps cooldown they have is b4b which isn't that great compared to what mnk's get. Burst isn't as good as blm and the buff they give w/ disembowel can be negated if the dude just went mnk in the first place and not drg. Dragoons are old news until they get better utility or better cooldowns/skills.
Why do you think the drg is in the back in the picture above? Old news

Get at my scything
Yay, patchnote impressions!:
- Lots of a lot of new quests.
- Oh look, Mistbeard helm tied to maps. I'll never see it, then.
- Armoire in the house. Yay! \o/
- Nice to see that book prices have dropped, so I can finish my animus next week, perhaps.
- ILv80 for the new dungeons. Eh.
- Yay, everyone will now idle in North Thanalan instead of North Shroud. Now I can finish the Ixali quests without lagging like a bitch.
- Gil rewards in ST and weekly limit gone, yaaas. Easy way to farm sands. XD
- Mirror drop rate increased, lol. Too bad I still haven't beaten Levi EX.
- iLv Sync seems odd, but it makes sense given that people will be able to plow through high level with new gear.
- So with the withdraw penalty, guess there won't be anything like Mythflox anymore.
- Thank God pets can't take floor damage anymore. That's mostly what killed Ruru in places like AV.
- So the Noel looking gear was Ninja's Coil 3 gear. Nice.
- 4 star recipes, lol. I'll never make money crafting.
- Time to farm Coil 1 to desyth
- Let it go... >_>
- Shiva weapons are 110... and Allagan are now 135... NIce.
- Ultros Minion <3
- A baby fat chocobo! <3
- Lots of new stuff to craft.
All in all, not too many quality of life changes, and is mostly geared toward getting ready for Ninja and final coil.
Well, it does in a way because of secondary stat differences. Such as the Rosenbogen doesn't have ACC, but Shiva's bow might. Or, either the SMN/SCH book is shit, but Shiva's caster book might not be.
Edit:
Poetics caster gear doesn't look like shit. YAY.
