Any speculation on new grips? Those that benefit BLM specifically.

There is nothing that tells us they will be "BLM only" grips. Likely, all grips but a very small exception(probably introduced later) will be all jobs.

I'm hoping for 1 of each element so my 54/60 inventory can be 60/60 all the time.

Warlock's grip: Staff skill +250, RDM only. :rofl:

Edit > Not much they can give to BLM really except for Conserve MP, Fast Cast, or Magic acc/att. But I wouldn't expect much since this adition seems to be more aimed at melee atributes (even if SE says they want to help mages).

Only if I can get a Healer's grip: MND +50, Additional Effect: Refresh, WHM only, where the proc is about 1/10 chance on casting a healing-type spell, and each proc stacks.

Or maybe improved avatar stats (Or attack/accuracy up with avatar out)

Why vs Colibri? I would just as soon say a straight up Magic Attack Bonus +20. And add "Occasionally doubles or triples the damage of an offensive spell". Just for the hell of it.

Why vs Colibri?
Number one reason for solo'ing BLM?

Not only does it mimic/parrot spells, but it also has magic damage cut, I think. Parties fighting those really don't want BLM's.

Ok, but that still doesn't explain why you LIMIT it to only Colibri. A straight-up vs. anything is actually far more likely, not to mention useful.

I didn't realize we were limiting our suggestions in this thread to bonuses that would be likely >_>;

We're not limiting it to thing's that aren't likely... someone suggested 2H weapon delay -3%, didn't they?

That would be me lol, why did I say that because that is what the update picture shows.

Dia accuracy +10%
This is a joke

Also a joke

Everyone is making up fake grips for a laugh and mine was all about a joke which showed the original pic.

here is the pic from update post:

I think he got that. I think he's trying to say that just because everyone's been throwing out jokes doesn't mean we can't examine them seriously, which I guess I can understand but as silly as some of these have been I don't see why you would either.

I want to see this one. Texture strap: stop flickering like a club dance floor when you switch staves

In Mexico I saw a red T-Shirt with the Mc Donalds "M" on it that said:
