People used nin/drk and nin/brd on tons of endgame 75 content. Nin was like THE tank in sky in my day. I recall tanking Faust, MG, Byakko, Kirin. Idk, I guess it doesn't really matter. I get your point.

but, uh

Hell none of my two groups use GEO for example, nobody of us want touch that ***-job.

i get it if people don't enjoy the job, and you're probably being facetious, but GEO is sort of objectively the opposite of a ***job lol

NIN was arguably the better tank for some time at 75 cap, especially if you put it up against a non-Aegis PLD. Atonement's introduction gave PLD a consistent means by which to contribute respectable damage, but it wasn't too long after that we saw the emergence of DD-tanking and the development of RDM/NIN for tanking applications rather than just soloing. PLD's enduring popularity throughout 75 cap had as much, if not more, to do with players simply wanting to play PLD as with any merits of the job itself.

There's still some truth to that. There are a lot of dedicated PLDs out there, and it's not like Aegis is hard to get nowadays. RUN gets the job done too, but the community hasn't fully caught on to RUN yet and a random shout PLD is probably a safer pick than a random shout RUN.

My money is on it being Skadi.

Morrigan will be last.

Then they will go on to Nyzul equipment.

Also, I'm very surprised nobody brought up how powerful Inquartata is for mitigating physical attacks from Lv150 targets. The absolute max a RUN can get it to is 31%, that's a 31% chance of parrying an attack from a target regardless of it's level. Just makes the gap between RUN and PLD even higher. ***, even the Valoredge Automaton from a PUP has a higher block rate with the Barrier Module II most likely.

This, since morrigan jobs are the most useful jobs atm and SE needs one more month of subscription fee before the big disapointment comes

No clue, the Tizona/Almace AG people in my LS tell me it's a perfectly balanced job.

Try not to spread random myths about pup tanking please, I double checked the last moments of Schah when I first tested BMI+II and only got a ~20% block rate. It's not high, but with 3 free attachment slots, it's probably one of the better options since Schah doesn't have any buffs to dispel/absorb.

SE need to hurry up and release the i121 versions of Ochain, Aegis, Ghorn and Daur already. This is getting ridiculous.

GEO, especially Idris ones, are in no threat of ever losing their spot in "end-game" content.

BRD really needs some love and attention.

@Nightfire - there were also the BRD/NIN tanking days.
Oh how I miss curing a botting linkshell's PLD or NIN/DRK and then spamming Mazurka from across the Aery. Good times and spike flails. Memories.

As an aegis/ochain (but god, who isn't?), I can't really think of how they'd improve Aegis. I think maybe SIRD+30% or Magic Evasion.

Ochain, that's easy, needs to block more.

I haven't played bard in years and was never anything special, but bard doesn't need buffs or buffs to it's weapons, it needs a damn overhaul. Have you ever seen the hassle a real bard goes through to setup songs?

Because every melee, sooner or later, turns into a blue mage.

Nice... new additional stat pool on cape... shows a WAR cape with STR+10(not cap?) DEX+20 Atk+20 Acc+20 Store TP+10

119 version of Skadi's Cuirie armor set next...

So maybe this new augment item / pool lets you pick 1 of any of the previous stats at half the max value... Skjalf guesses.

Skadi set is next? Great I was hoping for that set so time to get back into Ambuscade

Don't know any japanese but if anyone can confirm is that Acc+40 att+36 racc+40 ratt+36 on the Skadi +1 feet?

Looks like it have high evasion on it too like the Hizumaki set.

That moment when you see the Devs play FFXI and realize they have no f___ing clue what they're doing.


Solo warrior, runs in and Uses mighty strikes then dies, all in 7 seconds. Epic skills brah.

I can honestly say, I am confident that this Dev team knows NOTHING about the game.

Odd how it rewards a greatsword of light, thought it would be a pitch black glow effect instead given the fight.

So I wonder how they're going to handle giving us that 2nd attribute on the cape. That's going to suck to retroactively put on all my capes...

From the sound of it, it might just be a 4th augment slot, not necessarily a stat. The new mat to augment it is 800 hallmarks a pop, so I'm hoping you only need one, lol.
