Add "WS" effect may mean you get access to said WS. Hmmm...

This is my assumption. Warrior and Paladin get Hexa Strike, that's neat, though almost entirely useless.

H2h weapons seem to be getting a 30% DMG increase and longer delays.

maybe you get a special effect when you use that WS with that weapon? aftermath type thing but not as good as other aftermaths?

This Monk update looks disappointing. The only thing they needed to do to fix MNK was give them a viable weaponskill. I think on some level that would be admitting that they were wrong, so I don't think it will ever happen.

pretty much this. Swift Blade is PLD only. Hexa Strike for WHM,GEO. Cross Reaper DRK only. And so it goes on.

I guess that makes more sense. They should have gave mnk hexa strike then they could use all WS to proc blue !! under blunt time lol

Absolutely disagree.

Unafraid of the Dark (Master Trial BC) just became stupidly easy with x2 WAR. x2 WAR using Hexa Strike will decimate the Quadav.

Also, that Great Axe is easily DRK and RUN's best option for GA DPS and more importantly utility. Full Break on those jobs is slick.

Also, wow. Heavy Shot on DRK and WAR means that non-Ragnarok users now have a Fusion weapon skill for skillchain linking.

Has a huge WSDMG boost though!

Wonder how these weapons work. Is it really just "allows you to use WS in the description" or something else? The text they used is different from previous weapons that gave you access to WS "X".

I wonder if they just copied and pasted the DMG/Delay buff from Glanzfaust to Kenkonken without thinking about it.

Vol. 1 seems like Sahagin:
Bozzetto Songstress
Bozzetto Flowspear
Bozzetto Wavefist x2
Bozzetto Hydrophile
Bozzetto Flowspear
Bozzetto Wyvern x2

Vol. 2 is a malboro named Popular Penelope. There's also a Chirurgeon but I can't tell whether it's in Vol. 1 or Vol. 2.

considering SE even tooted their own horn for how hard they worked on this update before it was released, the first RMEA MNK to log on better screenshot unbuffed 60k dragon kicks to have it live up to that haha.

They have more scythe skill than BLM and that job is on the weapon as well.
edit:
The two odd weapons are the Bow & H2H. With jobs that have no native combat skill.
