Oct 7th Update Notes

Stanislav did you solo it / dualbox it on N? or went with team?

Summoned a few pets to see what the acc difference was before and after patch.

Looks like an increase of 84 acc.

just did atomos fight he's not too bad it's a dragon and gallu type mob, the dragon dooms but I went in with a party of 4. not too bad and got both rewards at once.

I'll paste from the summoner thread, cause the info is being compiled here...

Avatar's Favor still drops tiers when you use Blood Pacts, and it still has to build up over time. There is no penalty on avatar stats, and the potency is the same as before. There doesn't seem to be any increase in perp cost? In -14 perp gear, nothing changes when I turn it on and off, despite the in-game description being updated to state there is an increase.

Apogee increases Blood Pact MP cost by 50% in exchange for making the recast for the next Blood Pact zero. Recast is, as stated, 5 minutes.

Avatar base accuracy with 119 Sachet (Seraphicaller) and no other equipment is now 875.

As for unlocking Atomos, just go to Walk of Echoes in Xarcabard. You will be directed to the Walk of Echoes in Grauberg. There, you have to do a fight against a dragon and a gallu. I duo'd it with another summoner with no trouble at all.

Atomos takes the regular amount of time to cast, requires a target, costs 50 MP, and cannot be summoned with any other avatar already out. His recast is affected by the standard things. Upon appearing, after his initial animation, he will instant cast an ability called "Deconstruction" on the target, and will actually aggro mobs if they currently have no target (if you pull with him). After a short animation, he will use Chronoshift, which will give that effect to everyone nearby, and then disappear. If you are too far, you will not receive the effect he stole.

SAM SAM WHM BRD
March March Scherzo Carol2
Barfira Shellra5 Protectra5 Boost-STR

Had to fulltime Hybrid set on SAM. Flaming crushes were rocking me (multi hit so scherzo don't do shiet if first hit doesn't do over 1k)

JAs were procing Blue !!, Spells were procing Yellow !!, WS were procing red !!. It was all random and I've proc'd several within seconds. The system is pretty *** imo.

What's the recipe?

Entrust allows a second indi on a party member, allowing you to run:

Indi, Entrust-Indi, GEO

...all at the same time. Also, you can use Entrust, pop an indi on someone, and then leave party. They will keep it.

I can only imagine the fun out of party strats people are going to do like they already do with bard.

inc. indi haste for the pt from an outside Geo mule for every BC fight

Garuda hits hard as hell too. 300-400 with 300-400 enwind.

THF+WHM, all the usual buffs + gelusx2 put me at 245 wind resistance, all but one magic attack did 100 or less. Need about 1000acc for N. Would have been cake if her melee attacks weren't wrecking my face.

Ok so I tried difficult Ifrit 4boxing SAM, WHM, COR, THF, and BRD friend.
Buffs were March March Scherzo Carol 2 Magus Roll and Chaos Roll(should've went with Hunters). Used mid-hybrid set fulltime and was doing fine.
Whenever it was casting I casted dia or friend casted Elegy and it seemed to proc yellow everytime which caused it to stop casting. As it's health went down it seemed that his evasion was going up. It was hard to get it down from 50,% but I was lacking buffs. Seems doable with melee, but I can see PLD/RNG strat being the easy way out. Having proper MDT/PDT sets would be key if you're going melee route. You have more than enough time to switch to PDT/MDT from normal TP gear. Too tired now to get more merits and try it some more. Will try later today.

Sounds like you either go PLD or bring a GEO with Indi-Wilt and good to go.

A good group can melt it down melee style no problem I would assume. Just have the proper buffs. Oh and elevation won't work.

Not a fan of the single KI that can be used for any of the new avatar battles.
Would have liked a KI per battlefield so I could have 1 KI for each avatar stored, and be sitting on capped merits to do x2 more of whatever one.

Doesn't seem like any must have items. Not a big fan of doing 10 -20 fights and end up with nothing like ouryu. back to tree spamming for Gil to make daurabla 99.

Looks like we're not getting any Exp/CP from WoE... hope it's just a bug...

Anyone doing any .dat mining?

So, entrust is exactly as I described in the last thread? Great! 2/2 on GEO predictions. Be back in two weeks to have some fun!

Coalrake sabots dropped off Ifrit on Normal.
We got lots of procs including white proc.

Figures. The most wanted Trust, and probably the most disappointing. Is it really so hard to just make her like the Lilisette from the WotG battlefields?

those are kinda cool boots if you are fan of /brd for lowman voidwatch or lolabyssea proccing

Thinking about this step update, with Terpsichore I can generate 40 FMs/min while building steps with optimal efficiency (38/min average).

I can spend the most Flourishes/minute by using:
Flourishes I: 4 FM/min (2x Animated)
Flourishes II: 18 FM/min (6x Building)
Flourishes III: 4 FM/min (2x Striking)

What do I do with the extra 12 FM/min? Even without Terpsichore I'd only exactly be able to spend the number of FMs I'd make.

I guess I just have to conclude that SE wants Step recast to be a total non-issue now. They don't want it to be something that limits our playstyle. Other than that, this change is pretty inconsequential.

Those gloves with matk supose its mab?

I think we missed a mab gloves for elemental ws? Its a good news.

Have they even acknowledged the glitch with T5 in Yorcia Weald delve in previous updates? It wasn't mentioned in the notes, I know it hasn't been fixed, and it seems like it's a bigger deal than some of the updates that were done or the things that were mentioned as being problematic. /sigh

I remember dev saying something about the dificulty of obtaining ormolu ingot, that they wouldnt add more ways to obtain that but they would add recipe to ease a but the skilling process for goldsmith. So, any new recipe for gold was found?

I could see using this with genbu shield for front line geo replacing earth staff. Adds soem extra earth stats and maybe even try to mellee some.

Dynamis currency prices might go down again XD I'm ok with that haha.

Yeah, I thought of this, but wish it was /ex only, so we could dual wield it and /dnc. Would make for a hell of a damage build.

However, for close-up superbuffing (2 Indi/1 GEO), it looks like a great addition to PDT up close set, for the non-Idris GEO. Or if you're just meleeing, its cool too.

What do you feel is worth incurring JA delay for if your group can live without you incurring dps loss to cap steps?
I do alot of bc on Difficult with dancer and buffs are pretty heavy so it feels like anything but boxstep to feed my own FM/Flourish needs to self sc or pull tp for AM3 isnt needed.

For most fight I parse the best when I just focus on maintaining AM3 and don't step/flourish unless my RF is off cooldown to self skillchain.

Sometimes I do a random stacked rudra like this where I bunch up a bunch of JA use at one time:
have 3+ FM's already->Climactic->Presto->Feather Step->Building->Rudra's.
I usually do this before I need to build back to 3k tp to refresh AM3.

So is it offical no exp or capacity points from walk of echoes now, as alot of times u can do 10 in row and get crap in all and without even given u some exp for your 1k seems a bit crap....

I was doing the surges for +1 stuff, but mainly to get me blu points to so not much point now if i have a pay 1k a pop and get nothing for it if rubbish in the box.....
