I'm wondering about the new crafting equipment "escutcheons", hopefully it's not more latent gear like the weapons.

I haven't done any Omen, but I imagine, like Vagary, they'd require you to have the NM wins before you're actually able to upgrade your equipment.

Well they have that implemented by the fact you need a specific scale to +3 the gear. Wont be too hard to get +2s, but the +3 will need boss clears still

Don't worry +2 is already accessible to anyone that has access to omen... now how reasonable the time scale is another matter entirely but this update should help players having a bit of a hard time farming cards

Looks like SE heard you GEO haters loud and clear and decided to elevate BRD appropriately. I wonder how potent these effects are. Could Put BRD right on par with GEO again.

Guess SE got tired of everyone easy-moding GEO with vex/attune and walking through magic and debuffs. RIP pre 2/10/17 Geocolure values.

Them nerfing vex and attune makes me kinda worry unless the skill nerfs on mobs are really crazy. Then I guess it'd be fine. Full time argosy lets go!

The chance for elemental damage to occasionally be absorbed through the effects of the Song+ attribute on the corresponding Elemental Carol II has been increased.

I'm curious if this is being changed to absorb, or if they meant nullify.

There are three scenarios.

- They drop mob m.eva/m.acc/vex/attunement to where using a GEO will behave more or less as it does now

- They don't drop mob stats enough, and everything gets harder

- They screw up the math and now naked bards will get 12 minute horde lullabies

I'd say we have an equal shot of any of those outcomes.

I don't know. They lowered Vex/Attune and enhanced Carols and song effect gear, so I'm wondering if that buff to magic resistance is equal to/more potent than Geomancer's current value. That would be a huge role reversal.

We knew that was coming too, it's intended to offset the GEO nerfs. Whether partially or completely is as yet unknown.

It was also the first official shield obtained in fft, and the escutcheon2, which was arguably the best shield in game.

So how high can BRD currently push their combined skills? Honor March's skill cap was increased along with that whole other slew of songs.

Sadly, I never got to play FF Tactics. However, the Escutcheon I thought I remembered was from FF6. It was a low level shield in that game too, but it doesn't get mentioned in the link I posted.

Bleh, as if omen wasnt easy enough already. One of the few things i enjoyed doing - hopefully its not too nerfed

Looks like they are incentivizing people to do card farming runs now, since new objectives will pop up every minute & the trash mobs got easier to kill

I'm looking forward to being able to farm cards for jobs that aren't "Omen NM friendly". I'll be curious to see, also, how the mob mag. evasion, etc. goes, considering I love using Cloudsplitter on all the things, even in Omen.
