Adjusting "Third Eye" and New Trait in next patch!

[LadyPeorth]

What also interests me is the new job abilities you can get with Merit points at level 75. I can only imagine what a few of them might be

[Enichi]

i'm personally hoping the new trait going to be something like conserve mp.... but instead conserve tp........ blah wishful full thinking...... can always hope for more acc, oooooh maybe increase ws damage..... even more wishful thinking XP

on the third eye adjustment... probably going to change it back to what originally use to be...... where it will eat an aoe attack.

i'm just happy sams getting something new..... after yrs of waiting.... hahhah


on another side note....... pld getting the short end of this..... shield getting nerf!!!! those who actually took the time to skill this up going to be pissed.... cause when it was maxed, made pld kind of like blink tank.... shield block was able to stop all physical dmg though, including those annoying heavy dmg moves.....

oh well. gogo dynamis xaracard..... hoping for saotome kabuto... already have saotome kote..... lost lot on saotome haidate twice....... and saotome sune-ate 3x times........ never seen saotome domaru drop..... but yar gogo saotome kabuto!!! the only other relic piece i really really want heh......

[kujo412]

they need to make it easier to skill up parrying and guard.. the update for paladins said it would be easier to skill up shield i think :/

optical hat > saotome kabuto

Best three pieces of relic for sam stat wise (and i'll put them in order of what i feel is right) would be Kote, Suna-ate, haidate. Kote for the sheer amount of more TP you gain from meditate. Suna-ate because when it comes to purchasable boots they all are pretty horrible for sam, and shura suna-ate are trash as well. Haidate for the unique third eye enhancement which not only will result in doing more damage but gaining more TP. The chest is fairly horrible stat wise but is incredible for in-town looks. And as Kujo said, as a whole Optical hat > Kabuto. However unless you are subbing RNG Kabuto isn't a bad item. Same acc bonus from Optical, a crapload more defense, HP bonus for things such as spirits within and has 3 enmity on it. Genbu's kabuto would be better for spirits within situations, optical if you're able to actually dodge the mob/sub ranger, but aside from that Saotome Kabuto serves a purpose. All of it together though = you can just sit in jeuno and look pretty, you no longer have to play.

*waves hands around like a crazy man*
Come on resist blind XXIV!! Perhaps the -40 dark from sniper rings might be negated!

/sarcasm off

I really hope we get something good out of this.

Unfortunately, the counter from the Saotome Haidate operates like a regular counter and doesn't give you any TP. -_-

But, like I posted on another forum... knowing SE, we'll get something like:

Store TP V
Demon Killer II

-_-;

I think I've seen my resist blind kick in a while like, 3 times ever. Once while leveling against a bone, and once while fighting vrtra, and man was I suprised.

Nodachi I got the relic boots but I still have my old ones which the name I do not remember. Relic boots have only 3 higher attack and some dex, but lower defence and no evasion bonus. So I still keep my old boots for when I have to solo things.

time to go earn some merits : /

Yeah i have both as well but i just feel more solid performance from the AF2, the level 72 set though as you said would probably be better for solo play. For the first time i'm getting tired of merits lol. Done with STR, done with Criticals, nearly done with GKT skill... i want to know what this ability is we can earn before i crank out even more exp for merits ; ;

imo it will make third eye not get eaten by blink.

Actually if it was that only sheild would reduce damage then I would agree. They however took special care to mention that shield will activate a lot more frequently then it does now (Shield even with skill maxed activates almost never, 3+ hr. EXP session and you might see it fire a total of 5-10 times).

So it seems the property of how shield works may actually be for the better simply because it'll fire off more frequently.

Anyway on topic to the Sam's Trait, I also think that the adjustment might be simply making it were "Third Eye" doesn't encounter that same effect that Blink does. That just horrid for an ability like that to take such a hit.

[Beiro]

I'm kind of hoping that Third Eye is turned into a defensive/offensive type ability, where it can either negate 1 attack directed towards you or guarantee one hit for you. It'd be great for SAM/WAR (especially the non-uber-rich ones *ahem*) because they wouldn't have to sub /THF to make sure their WS lands... >.> I have that problem sometimes hehe :sweat:

I'm sure the new trait will be something like Resist Curse or something... I'm hoping for an Accuracy Bonus or TP gaining trait though

uh >_> third eye not eaten by blink? XD

i'm hoping it just makes it so third eye eats the next attack that would hit you, aoe or otherwise. that'd be ubarr for that last 15-20% on faf/nid, no more hurricane wings eating you alive.

(Yes, please.) And hopefully they won't gimp it when subbed. :D

If it negated Hurricane Wing lol... you'd be seeing WHMs subbing SAM at Fafnir XD

[davidmmmm9]

I dont mind getting hit by some area attacks with third eye up if it like makes sense. Like hurricane wing hits everything in the area, there would be no real way to dodge that. But weapons whirl of rage or the yagudo spin kick thing should be something dodgable.
