The Beast Within -- A Guide to Blue Mage
Occasionally deals triple damage. I have zero numbers to work with at the moment, but that's trying really hard to beat Tizona.
Does the STP from Sequence work offhand at least? Almace/Sequence could be a solid combo for situations where maintaining AM3 isn't worthwhile. Otherwise a big obstacle to mainhanding Almace is having ***offhand options to pair with it.
Who am I kidding, I haven't even started a Sequence. That I haven't actually asked about. I would think so, but I'll try to get some confirmation.
Overall, not upset with the upgrade paths. 10k is a little rough, but it wasn't "Gather 1000 Scoria", so I'll manage. I'm going to be needing help updating the spreadsheet with the new formulas for melee damage, as well as incorporating "triple damage" for Almace. Woot! 10k of pluton/beitetsu/riftborn! NO PROBLEM! I also like how EVERYONE is online atm XD
It really isn't that bad, just time consuming. I'm sure most people will be done by next month or so and we'll all run around with AG.. joy. Almace is looking really appealing now, surprised they matched Tizona MACC skill to be the same, it was typically above other weapons in addition to the actual MACC+.
I kinda have to wonder what the stats on Mimesis will look like post-augment. Probably not redeemable, but I didn't expect relics to get such a big boost either, so...

Agreed, this news gave me the go-ahead to turn in all the plates/cinders I farmed last month. Almace 119 as soon as I log in :) Draylo said: » It really isn't that bad, just time consuming.

Yeah, this doesn't seem bad at all. I bet a dedicated LS focusing on a handful of people could finish the requirements in a week or less.
And I was really surprised by the Almace bonuses, too. I was excited when it was 40 DEX, but now it's 50 and triple damage rather than double. It very well could be our best mainhand for zerg fights.

I doubt it, but OTD procs on CDC or better yet Rudra's would be absolutely hilarious. We'd have to rename it Rudra's Shitstorm.
Technically it'd be Rudra's Shitstorm II: Electric Boogaloo because that already happened with the fTP update, but y'know. I was talking specifically about Almace and Tizona:
Almace DMG:158 Delay:224 DEX+50 Magic Damage+186 Sword skill +269 Parrying skill +269 Magic Accuracy skill +255 "Chant du Cygne" Aftermath: Occasionally attacks for triple damage Afterglow Tizona DMG:147 Delay:236 Magic Accuracy+40 Magic Damage+186 Sword skill +269 Parrying skill +269 Magic Accuracy skill +255 Occ. converts damage dealt to MP V "Expiacion" Aftermath: Increases Accuracy and Magic Accuracy Occasionally attacks twice or thrice Afterglow Like you posted on last page, Almace is same MACC skill as Tizona. I think I worded my post wrong, Tizona was typically more MACC skill and now its the same as Almace. The question is how were Mythic Aftermaths effected? It looks like at a minimum Tier 1 and Tier 2 AM were combined?
Oh, I missed that. Looks like they decided to bring all the swords up to 255. Excal and Burt got bumped up too, whereas they previously had lower macc than Tizona or Murgleis.
Yeah so a mini nerf of sorts lol.
If you really want to look at it that way. Tizona's not actually any worse than expected in that department and I was only expecting macc+30, so it's all a win from where I'm standing.
edit: Doesn't look like they've managed to mine armor yet. Going to bed, if the info's out by morning and nobody's posted it here then I'll add it at that time. Probably won't be much to see, looks like they only added 3 new UNM. Mimesis upgrade is probably nothing to write home about from what I've seen of other weapons.

Looks like HQ cassie earring "Odnowa Earring +1" stats are:
STR/VIT +3, Converts 100 MP to HP, MDT-2% Unity Ranking: ACC+5~10 Extra 50 HP for WW I'll take it. Mimesis: Acc/Macc/Magic Damage (26/26/40 at rank 7)
Ragnarok.Bigsyke said: » Mimesis: Acc/Macc/Magic Damage (36/36/40 at rank 7) the Acc is that high? expected it to cap out at 50 with rank 15 My bad, corrected. 26/26/40
So we are looking at 20 acc over nibiru acc. Draylo said: »  Now to sell the rest of the stash I had lol Can you see if they adjusted how the AM works? There is a slight wording change on it that makes me feel like AM 1 and 2 are combined...and maybe even boosted. Quetzalcoatl.Excalin said: » Can you see if they adjusted how the AM works?

That might be a valid theory if they had acturally shortened anything instead of making it longer. When we have people with 121 mythics already it is just something that is easier to have tested and then comment on the results.

I talked myself out of optimizing White Wind due to inventory issues, but given this at least has a couple uses I may have to break that even before they add the Wardrobe 2. My inventory is actual suffering. I'm back to stashing sets in my satchel when possible.
