It was labeled as a BC by the data miners and shown well before anyone was on sorry that it wasn't 100% Accurate knowing exact placement (>.<)

Now if they were to add more new abjuration sets... I'd say they should go for an Akenton, Jacket, and Peti. Cloth, Leather, and Alchemy synths, in that order.

PUP/BST/SMN/DRG - Based on sacrificing all base stats(STR, DEX, ect) for pet enhancements(Refresh, Regen, Haste, Attack+, Accuracy+, MAB+, MAcc+)

Uh, Why? So pet jobs can look more gimp than they're already falsely assumed to be? DRG, BST and PUP need armor that enhances the player, we already have loads of armor and equipment that buff the pets. The relationship between SMN, PUP and DRG pets is symbiotic by nature, those jobs already share stats with thier pets to an extent. Of the three, the only job totally reliant on thier pets is SMN.

Pet enhancing armor is only lacking on BST and there is armor that even exists for that. Given BST charms monsters as allies, the risk in doing so is sacrifice enough. Don't take away from BST base stats unless SE is gong to start giving BST some melee job abilities/traits.

THF/COR/BLU/RNG - Based on sacrificing Attack, Ranged Attack, and MAB(all of these are rather mild, not extreme like Zenith's penalties) for Accuracy, Ranged Accuracy, and Magic Accuracy. (At least one piece with "Recyle" and another with "Ninja Tools Expertise")

Dunno how BLU got mixed in here, while BLU sacrificing attack/magic attack for accuracy makes sense in regards to their physical spells, asking these other jobs to do the same isn't neccesary. You have it backwards for the other jobs, we'd willingly give up more accuracy for attack. There are enough options out there for accuracy gear and Skadi/pahlwhan has it more than covered. Denali set from Nyzul is also hot for COR.

We SMN's are made of pushpin cushions. Poke us and we deflate... not just our egos either. Granted I didn't see anything truely striking for SMN that made me go wow, the update did not address anything that SMN were complaining about for the past I don't know when.

Whatever. Next patch and all is forgotten again.

I'm not sure if I'm in the same boat with anyone else, but it feels like all these patches are... "meh". I use to be excited for the patches. I guess the last time I felt like that was back when they released Aht Urghan, and that wasn't even a patch. (Aww crap, am I feeling emo?)

Oh really? I can only think of a handful of pieces per job at best. I'm sure any of those jobs would gladly accept INT-5 MND-5 for Haste+5% on a pet or maybe "Enhance Pet Magic Attack" which would function both as MAB for Avatars and Automatons.

I'm not quite sure why you would want much more attack... with an accuracy based set, it would be easier to be able to switch to meat.

Re: Version Update Complete! (06/05/2007)

Ok to quiet both of you (it won't happen I know) since I agree with Legal Fish that buffing up the pets with gear is a good thing and with omgwtf that "The relationship between SMN, PUP and DRG pets is symbiotic by nature," for these jobs would it not make sence that the gear they wear also buffs the pet? If they wear something with Attack+ the player and the pet get Attack+, if they wear STR+, they both get it.

It was just a quick idea.

Re: Version Update Complete! (06/05/2007)

Is there a point of diminished returns for magic attack accuracy? I believe there was a discussion about that in terms of "Accuracy" and I was wondering if there was one on Avatar Accuracy or Magical Accuracy or Pet Magical Accuracy.

Re: Version Update Complete! (06/05/2007)

New item:

Valkyrie's Trews

Lol that may be the most common sense ever used in making new gear or ability for any of these jobs.

I too found the heavy breastplate(Shadow Breasplate set) of the new abjurations kind of redudant. It seems like an odd fusion of Koenig and Adaman. If they wanted to give DRK a set that gave tanking bonuses, they should of just latched them unto Koenig(which should of been the case from the start).

I very much agree, although I still think the body piece has potential in a sushi war build, and the set in general is good for merit paladins that might not have access to homam yet. although you could take a complete pass at this set and not really be missing anything.

Besieged truly does need some adjsutments. Each wave's numbers(as in numbers of monsters), should be based on the number of players when they arrivie in the zone. I don't remember counting, but I recall seeing around 12 Bhoots enter together at once. Let's say that's the case with 700 players... if there is only 500 players, you'll get 8 Bhoots instead... if there is only 300 players, you'll get 5 Bhoots instead.
And make Generals immune to Death/Doom.

this sounds like a nice idea actually. it would probably help the besieged levels in some servers if people knew that it wasn't necessary to stuff the zones to have a shot at beating the beastmen back.

L O L @ emo.


About the endgame; Sage Sundi said way back in an interview that we have yet to see the ToAU endgame, so who knows. They could very well be holding back more stuff we can't find out about until the final ToAU update. Keep in mind we're not done with the story just yet. I'd say we've hit the climax with this update, or are very close to (Rising Action)
