Don't know yet, and won't know until we get the update.

Re: Equipment additions coming in Update

I think its a little early to call it JSE. COR has been adapted to war JSE sets (which really isn't great beyond Boots and Brais) in addition the the Shikaree Aketon. And much of whats been added to ToA thus far hasn't been JSE, but alternatives to sky gear and CoP JSE that many classes can use rather than one or a few classes could.

I expect that trend to continue. For all we know these could be some of the abjuration alternatives SE was talking about. And when you think about the assault sets, there's still some that are lacking for particular jobs and other sets could be made to benefit a wide range of jobs, too. SE's gotta keep adding incentives to do Assaults, anyway.

And yeah, these sets look very similar to the AFs in design scheme, but then we have SMNs running around in Robes that look more appropriate for NIN, MNK or SAM.

Doesn't look like RDM is gonna get anything this time either.

I honestly can't say I feel sorry for Red Mage, either. It's not like they're in such dire straits that they need a new gear/job ability-trait update or thier job will be unplayable; in fact, SE themselves had said that they're deliberatly holding off on both Red Mage and Ninja *because* they are so powerful and have plenty of gear to back up just about everything they could ever need or want to do in the game.

Now Beastmaster, there's a job that *needs* to have a good dose of attention and tune-up from SE. C'mon SE, hop to it already.

It looks like what I was thinking about those armor sets is in line with the majority. I honestly can't see any job other than Dark Knight in that left-most set, and I'd be completely surprised if *any* job other than Blue Mage alone is tagged for the right-most set. Again, though, I say we'll have nothing more than pure conjecture at this point until the update lands, so our dat miners can dig them out for us and we can see for ourselves what they're about.

Red Mage doesn't really need anything. Having played Red Mage, I should know. They have JSE and a powerful, well rounded set of spells. They have access to mage gear and light armor with a wide range of various stat bonuses. If they never get anything ever again it wouldn't matter unless every other job gets buffed to the teeth. Then maybe Red Mages would have a leg to stand on.

Some of my mage friends though keep complaining that they don't have a wide range of gear to select from. I disagree but I've never taken out the time to actually look. If one of these sets is a nice mage set then maybe I can stop hearing some of the whining x_x

I'm gonna say that stuff isn't JSE for the ToAU jobs. The third set could be a maybe, but I think we'll see JSE show up a little later for the new jobs.

Whether or not you agree with it, SE pretty much said they had changes in mind for every job. That includes RDM. So just like players of every other job, RDM are interested in what SE has in mind for them, and like most people it's a little disappointing when an update shows up and you find you have to wait until maybe the next one for your chance.

I suppose, but I don't see then running to give mnk anything super cool and new, but since I'm a mnk I recognize that we really don't need anything, so I know I'm going to be waiting until the jobs that actually need attention get theirs first. Because well...that's how it should be.

At the same time I can see where you're coming from I suppose. New job changes are just all meh for me. I'm kinda disillusioned by the pld changes, which don't really seem to do much for them in terms of damage mitigation, and it makes me think that maybe that the changes, no matter what they are, won't really address the main problems we've got going on right now.

Re: Equipment additions coming in Update

it is, however, irritating that no one can ever mention wanting their RDM to get new toys w/out others coming out for no other reason than to point out how "uber" RDM is. Which, I still don't see what's so godly about them.

Am I the only person that thinks - despite it's resemblance to blu AF - that the rightmost armor looks kinda Corsair-esque?

And BLU is totally the new magic-wielding melee, doing everything that DRKs used to be known for. So I'm waiting for that left picture to be BLU JSE or something, so they can even look like DRKs.

Re: Equipment additions coming in Update

What people dont really realize about Red Mage is quite simply we have not had more than what would be a 'minor mention' as far as job updates in a very very very very very long time. I'm talking about a matter of years here.

Every job since has had some form of changes to it that more or less has had an impact on how things are played, for better or worse.

Red Mage has been all but neglected in this isssue.

Even when it came to the new Merit system, all Red Mage received were rehashes of the same deal.

Red Mage: "Camon SE we haven't had an update since refresh, cant you give us something?"

SE: "We'll were giving every job some new merits, I guess we cant possibly neglect you there, so here you go."

Red Mage: "Oh yey 10% more potent paralize. And party-whore version of Phalanx that isnt even more potent Thanks. -.- ..."

Stated bluntly, Red Mages as far as updates have been the most nelgected job to date, to the point where the job itself is beginning to feel old. People who have played rdm day in and day out are going to want to move to other, newer looking jobs if SE dosen't give RDM a new bone to chew on. Put bluntly, Merit spells are not enough. We wan't something 'new'.

Hmm does anyone think these new outfits are kinda gaudy? Are they supposed to be used while fighting beastmen or trying to entertain them?

Aren't PUP's just entertainers?
