They took the inside joke “Sherida on the right” literally....

Wow.

Holy *** at this gear.

More gear but no extra wardrobes :(

Mostly junk. DI specific set makes it sound like DI will be stepped up significantly, but ew at new sets for 1 crap event.

Enhancing duration belt and enfeeb earring are cool, a few skill earrings worth having. Quad attack earring likely wont beat existing options unless you put value on its evasion. Nq def wont. Dw belt +1 may fit into some sets.

Overall, unless it can be augmented, its just farming di for gear to farm di better. Ehh.

Well... I mean if that gear is from Domain Invasion you might as well make a set

The wording makes it sound like you'll actually need to kill fodder in order to pop the dragons. No mention of dragon flying mechanics being changed so BLU burn as usual in that regard.

But an accrued point total per day sounds like a solid Quality of Life change overall and as long as Domain Point totals isn't too drastic I'd welcome it.

I'm seeing +1 versions of a lot of this gear.

Craftable?

Upgradable with points I'm sure

They pretty much just reskinned WKR/Reive and called it new DI except the bonuses are on the gear instead of from reive unity.

They said new synth recipes and its only a couple accessories. Prob crafted from mats you buy with DI points.

I'm not sure. One big difference I'm seeing with the stuff that might be craftable is that they don't have Domain Invasion buffs.

Thrud Earring
Earrings STR+10 VIT+10 Weapon skill damage +3%

Upheaval just got a stiffie.

Ask Sash
Boost: "Regain"+200 Weapon skill damage +5%
Lv.99 MNK

MNK just got Meditate.

its those waists that definitely caught my eyes the most. I agree, most of those earrings are at best extremely niche and with inventory already where its at, may not be worth the space. But reiki yotai...yeah kaboom.

... Torcleaver, as if it needed any more sauce

Yo they finally replaced Demon's Tathlum for beastmaster after what, 6 years?

....so where's the scythe update again? ;)

Augmented Earring no longer a thing finally. That's one of the lowest-level items that still had some use?

RIGHT!

Oh my christ as if cor and ranger needed better leaden/tf bullets

DMG:300 Delay:240 AGI+10 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+40

how dafuq did I miss those/

Beat me to it, LOVE LOVE LOVE that XD

Also, enhancing duration +10% waist NICE!


Um, so does this mean PLD can be a tank + main healer all in one? That's kinda badass. Still want someone else handling status removal, but that job could easily go to a support/WHM. BRD/WHM sounds pretty perfect to give the PLD lots of ballads (and maybe a somewhat recently not-merit Sirvente to help Enmity retention too!).

I tend to do some fairly lowman stuff (like, 3-4 people might be on and wanting to Ambuscade or somethin) with a PLD friend and we often lack a good WHM. Means we often need to rely on a trust healer, WHMbot mule (and I'm less than impressed by a lot of the bot healers I run into), or sacrifice someone who has a better DPS or buff job so someone can heal. Or even just handle things better if you are using a trust WHM and the trust gets killed. So this both increases PLD utility, AND removes the reliance on WHM being a staple job taking a spot that could go to somebody else. I kinda dig it.

Could also be nice for some stuff like a 3-party Divergence farming run - makes it easier to not need a dedicated healing mage for each party, and reduces the annoyance of out-of-party healing.


Or just buyable with DI points?

RNG can finally TF without using a Xbow :O

Few cool items stood out. Blue gets a sweet CDC earring. Enhancing duration belt, enhancing skill earring (rip augmenting), wonder if those two new Geomancy earrings coupled with all the gear could take you to a new tier. Same with blue skill earring and certain spells.

Getting 80% WSD in two slots in domain invasion on pld going to be funny with savage blade. Ninja can’t use sherida, neither can blue, so earring for either could get some use. Perhaps blue can drop suppa now for new belt to fit it in, which pairs with zantetsuken.

Boost belt makes boost not a waste and you actually get a free 1000tp meditate with it, even if most wears off. So it’s not useless now. I don’t know if that belt would beat moon +1, doubt it. So it is a free 1000tp if you choose to use it prefight, or to boost huge modifier.

Cool stuff all Around, problem is finding space for everything

It does not. It just means Paladin can pop off some cures for 0 HP and kind of realise they are wasting time they could've spent spamming savage blade before losing hate.

Aurgelmir Orb +1
STR+7 DEX+7 VIT+7 Attack+10 "Store TP"+5
WAR / MNK / RDM / THF / PLD / DRK / BST / BRD /
RNG / SAM / NIN / DRG / BLU / COR / DNC / RUN

Well... R.I.P Ginsen, you had a great run.

They did add some macc+30/mab+30/agi+10 bolts to still keep Gastra clearly on tops, but those bullets are the first MAB bullets outside of Amikimi for RNG...meaning both WF and TF just got a major buff when using arma/foma....hell even anni now can use them somewhat.
