So what has caught your eye? There's obviously the stuff we already knew like Empy reforged and Vagary but this one in particular got my attention:

Tiamat Drop Changes - Creating new drops
- Setting high-tier mission battelfield loot

So Tiamat getting new drops, perhaps changing him to a popped NM? Something about a high-tier battlefield anyway so maybe a new higher level Tiamat will exist.

This caught my eye as well, I think they're taking the Herald's gaiters away from her in favor of something new and the gaiters becoming a drop from one of the High tier BCNMs.
(Ouryu comes to mind.)

Perhaps Tiamat will drop a ra/ex version of Herald's Gaiters and like you say, Ouryu might drop the ra version.

There was a dev post about Tiamat/Gaiters already. Basically, it's the same thing they did with a lot of free spawn NM drops.

NM drop will be made into a rare/EX ver, and a BC will be added that drops the original non-EX version.

The change would have made sense when CDC wasn't as easily obtained as it is now, so suddenly RDM will have access to all the same WS as WAR I assume but it means little as they already have access to Savage Blade and CDC, the only 2 worth using.

Yeah and rdm with savage will get nerfed soon enough soon as people find out how to gear it right and see the numbers it pulls.

Well I would say that's unlikely, Rudra's only got nerfed because of the regular spiked numbers THF can pull out stacking it with SA/TA, coupled with SC damage it needed a reduction, especially if this Ardor spell is going to be as good as they are making out.

They are trying to fix enmity. Says they are increasing the cap and adjusting enmity gained from dealing damage.

Probably getting sanguine blade which would be really nice when using mage subs, or dual wield subs like /dnc and /nin.

Rdm/war with sword+shield +sanguine blade right now is a pretty hard thing to take down, being able to rdm/nin and get sanguine would make us crazy strong by adding that ws to our bag of tricks.

I think that should be the case, damage should be a very poor way to generate enmity, take for example a situation in another RPG where you are the big strong guy and have a group of enemies trying to take you down, there's the tank using abilities to focus your attention, the healer keeping everyone alive and then a few damage dealers.

Who would you take out first? If I'm forced onto the tank due to his abilities then fine my hands are tied but any opportunity I get, I'm aiming to take out the healer, once they go down, they all start to topple.

Was that where they were changing Etudes so they don't decay? Or did that happen last update?

And an actual shield.

Genbu Shield is nice, but there needs to be a better shield now for RDM...

Got to use that Fencer trait somehow.

It's this update, alongside the drain update for Dark Knight and Carbuncle's Glittering Ruby.

Really? It's been the only enjoyable ally-based content they've put out in SoA, imo. =\

I dunno, I don't see how they're supposed to be getting this TP when they're swapping weapons for ideal casting stats...

*scurries away before the melee-mage crowd can start chucking their usual rhetoric around*

I noticed that under the "New Rune Fencer Equipment" and associated Geomancer categories, they listed "Creating set bonus data". That infers that they're leaving the set bonuses on the current empyrian armors alone, or at least them still existing in some form.

Definitely excited for Sanguine Blade on RDM as well. Now if only Taeon + Temper + CDC was enough to convince people that RDM can melee...

So all the non thfs bitching got them to nerf the job. This is the same as every other time a job gets a major buff that lets it compete. The people who don't play it *** and whine until SE nerfs it again. Hell even bst getting th2 of all things from pets got nerfed because of it.

Sanguine on RDM should be quite strong. We have greater INT/MND/MAB gear than BLU does, also Gain-INT, and I can do like 5-6k Sanguines on BLU with little effort.

I certainly wouldn't want to discredit requiescat, at the 99 cap before ilvl I did most of my neo-nyzul runs on BLU and Req was invaluable at times. It really sped along the killing of the PDT Pudding boss.
