April 29, 2013 Version Update
What if the weapons have obscene negative augments that require upgrades to remove? Could actually make sense.

This might actually get me to log on again.
Or maybe retain as many paying customers as possible when your company has suffered the worst 8 quarters in its history.

At least ochain/aegis aren't going anywhere. ^^
Don't be quite so sure on that: http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Killedar_Shield_%2B1
Defense on shields matters, and 61 is hilarious. Ochain and Aegis will still be superior, but that yawning chasm of separation is more of a little hop now.

He spelled "lose" incorrectly on the original mat. I'm disappointed.
Update lacks a bard horn that combines the harp and Ghorn while giving 5 songs and boosting their effects even higher and a shield that is a merge of Aegis and Ochain with an extra -15% Dmg taken just to complete the set.

That idea only works for the rare/ex ones. Some of those are crafted.

It's strange that the armor, so far, isn't much different than what was already available, but the weapons are just absurdly overpowered compared to anything we've ever imagined. I have no clue what they're trying to do here.
The armor can all be augmented. Look at the base def on them, there are gloves in there with more def than current tanking bodies.
Unless they do something incredibly drastic, what's the point of Dynamis again?

Yeah, I missed that. The past has trained me to all but ignore the defense stat. I'm still not over that yet.

my Kannagi just got that "Not so Fresh feeling."
due to new katana damage.
at least new katana doesnt have blade hi.

I thought about that after i already posted. It's kind of demoralizing considering i have 1370 or so Heavy Metal Plates to go.
I hate to be "that guy" but those plates could have gone towards a weapon that would have made a much greater impact anyway.
It's nice when someone takes the "that guy" mantle away from me.
At the time i picked my weapon my LS had very few Ninjas and i mainly played NIN, WHM, and SMN. Making an empy for whm or smn wasnt really on my to do list (though smn mythic is). And i wanted blade Hi.
Now i have more jobs, and my NIN helped my LS a lot, so no regrets.
But you are more than welcome to your opinion.

Highly doubt it will make ochain/aegis irrelevant.

Unless they have increased block rates on-par with ochain and aegis they won't be useful.

If this is their plan, I'd hate to meet whoever came up with this idea. They would be better off actually considering some of what their playerbase actually asked for. I dunno about you, but did ANYONE actually want such a game breaking update? Where goes the fun of everything when theres no challenge in any way shape or form?
This thread needs a couple tranq darts shot into it.

Expect a drastic revision of E/R/M weapons. That's what I'd say.
They did say instruments and shields wouldn't be updated, so now we know why.
I'm really curious to see the update to legendary weapons...

WHAT THE *** IS HAPPENING WITH THESE WEAPONS

I'm still waiting for some new killer ammo/range slot equipment...
Also why the F#%$ does SE put jobs like RNG / COR / PUP on these items, instead of jobs that would actually benefit from it...

Honed Tathlum, Level 99, Accuracy+15, MNK / THF / RNG / BLU / COR / PUP / DNC / RUN

Block rate's not the problem it used to be, with Reprisal (and Palisade, but Reprisal with /sch is essentially never down).
I still think Ochain and Aegis are superior, I'm just saying the gap isn't what it was.
Someone rename this thread: "April 29, 2013 Version Update: THE SKY IS FALLING"

I haven't played in 3 weeks. Last update motivated me enough to take a break. I was anxiously waiting for this update to confirm my fears and validate my decision to just not bother. Honestly, I can't be bothered to play hamster. And it looks like the wheel is accelerating. call me weak and not fit to survive, but I'm tired of working towards things and having SE reward me with these kind of updates that really only cater to those of us who did nothing but use AH gear.
