New WS quests

So the biggest news I can think of since my last update is that new Weapon skills were released in the last version update. These range from the not so good to the really amazing. The 2 that I am most concerned with of course is the RDM ws Death Blossom, and the PLD ws Atonement.

Death blossom is said by many to be one of the better looking ones. Gee that’s nice… too bad the damage from it still seems to be greatly lacking. It has some nice skill chaining properties being able to open and close many types of chains and the after effect has some limited uses as well. But I was looking for a better damage option with swords to help out the pathetic selection RDM has native access to. Savage blade as the best ws you can have is laughable. And death blossom performs with nearly the same amount of damage even though it gives an extra hit. It’s hurt by its low ftp mod and therefore just doesn’t do it for me. If dual wielding, dagger main hand to evisceration is still the better way to go.

Atonement however is amazing for what you would use it for. It does a flat 750 damage once you have hate to a certain level. That makes it the best option for fights that last over a minute. It’s also a magic damage ws and therefore has 100% accuracy to it. That’s very hard to beat. Now if in a merit party or any situation were fast killing is involved vorpal blade will outperform it simply because there is not enough time to establish adequate hate.

Now the downside, at least for me, to getting these ws is the points it cost to unlock them. Total points are based on what floor your own nyzul disk is cleared through. IF you got 100 floor great, just 250 to do. But if like me and you’re on zero then it takes roughly 14,000 points to unlock it. And that’s per ws. Bleh. I am trying to do climbs though but the last 2 runs have been canceled so I am still stuck at zero. Hopefully we get this on track soon. Oh and I don’t have the RDM sword yet anyways but do have the PLD one. Just using the sword at random events and in parties has got me up to about 500 points but that’s just a drop in the bucket and it took me over 2 weeks to do that. So put this down as a long term goal for now.

Limbus has seen a drop in attendance from some members again so we been farming chips and trying to rebuild the ranks. We have I believe 3 ultima pop sets and 2 omega sets ready to go. We recruited 3 new people this past week so hopefully we will knock out another boss this coming Thursday. If we do, it will probably be ultima. Now the ultima gear is ok and I can find a few uses for some of it, I just don’t want to give up my spot in line for homam drops. So that being said, I hope others in front of me do want it so it moves me up the list more on homam.

Also, I hate to say this but I am getting the itch again for dynamis. I mainly want to just beat the cop zones so I can say I’ve done them all as well as maybe get some gear for my up comming BLM. One day I do plan on leveling BLU as well and the recently released relic for that seems to be pretty good. Although, more morrigin gear may make that not as desired for me
