[Dev] Four New Weapon Skills Revealed

They can look as cool as they want... the question is... are they useful? Or will THF's still be using evis? >.> lol

Infernal Scythe V2 Really? From what it looks anyways... Looks Dark based ugh.

SAM's might be a ground strike animation with GK lol.

Oh no, 5 units of ammo for the Archery WS. :3

Or you could argue those lines going through the sphere indicate a 3 hit WS.

...yes I know how ridiculous that sounds.

I was thinking that too

Sorry reminds me of...

I can't help but get a Amatsu: Tsukikage vibe from the SAM ws.

Watch at 2:40 ~
Of course, won't know until we see it.

GK ws does look quite funky, but I'm not curious to know whether it'll be as good as it looks. Also if it will crit, but I doubt it.

Looks very much like that could be true, yes. Just as the dagger ws animation looks like Savage Blade. I even have Savage Blade .dat modded giving it wings like this dagger one, lol.

If only we could implement those jumping skills into actually jumping outside combat. D:<

Looks like they will release other WS picture on different language

And they took scythe WS animation reference from a movie... lol.

Nothing important in the first post by Mocchi, he just tell us the WS will be put into test server shortly after they finished finalizing them all.

Given how small the world is, they could simply say the gravity is to intense for jumping, and only those that are on Dragoon or subjobing Dragoon can overcome the intense gravity for such a short time that it's only deemed worth using in combat given how much stamina they need to use to do it.

Would make even more sense if DRG had a resist gravity trait, cause then they could really pull that card lol.

Introduction:
Today. It is the new weapon skill where make wait it has done, but like this doing, while writing the text even, successively effect and motion have been completed!!　Don't you think? (it seems that this time, motion differs somehow a little in every race. [humuhumu]…) This way if verification job can be finished without problem, that you think whether soon you can touch to everyone and to everyone on the test server. Please wait by all means in the pleasure! ...... With, writing to here, suddenly becoming aware. This way because also the fact that it ends contribution is [are], it will try photographing one two pictures? Because the picture it tries choosing those which glow, please wait a little. If it is (this saw and saying says, you try checking! :)

Great Katana:
First, weapon skill “12 之 sword illuminating destruction” of the both hands sword the [tsu] which is! How scared!

Archery:
We answering request, weapon skill “[eipekusuaro]” of bow technique is next.

Scythe:
Both hands sickle WS “entropy” is, the [tsu] designer increased gathering the mouth, “seeing with animated picture, [hosui]…” with saying.

Dagger:
[a] [a] [a]…When the [tsu] and photographing were done, it was time. [sumimasen]. With this day last picture weapon skill “[ekuzentereta]” of the trench knife is with the notion that where you say.The spear, jumping, it increased! And grapple, also one hand sword the parenthesis was good, is!

yeah... well doesnt really make everything clear too :/

is there a link to a video of this?

nope ;x

someone should .dat mine and make one when the .dats get released >:[

im soo hoping for a new gun/h2h/and sward released as well soon

I think they will be all released at the same time.
It's just Japanese audience got GK, Archery, Scythe, and Dagger for their preview. We maybe get 4 of something else, FR and GE maybe will get 4 of each as well.

i want a epic greatsword ws plz

Watch SE still not give DRK a crit ws. :x

Torcleaver says Hi

I don't think there will be stronger ws's than those gained from emp/relics, cuz people will complain...though there are complainers for anything...

also: Why does everyone want crit. ws's? Do you still want SE to be improving your dmg in abyssea with what could be your final ws's NOT linked to a special weapon(hopefully)? crit. ws's aren't as reliable anywhere else unless they have a good crit. modifier or if you are buffed in some special way. The ws's we have now already add to making abyssea a joke.

I'd RATHER like to see a ws that is reliable high dmg/attk. for outside content, or situational, like -enmity, AoE(or conal in the rng case) etc...[a ws that gives a job something that they don't get from their current ws's] Although if a job lacks a crit. ws, i guess it would be nice for that job to gain a crit. ws.

I know people will always be doing abyssea for emp weapons and gear, but the hard part to abyssea now is the time it takes to build sets. There really is not much difficulty in the fight unless you don't know the strategy for a particular nm. Even people with good gear/ws's fail at nm's when they fail at the strategy.

alrdy got torcleaver~

I want a cooler ws animation for gs >.>

jumping into the air and slamming your great sword into the ground so hard that rocks shoot up is not cool enough for you?

Drakesbane says hi.

Agreed.

Exactly, because its entirely unreasonable to force adamant soloists to jump through hoops to be as effective as groups in an MMO. Creating any sort of incentive to, wait for it, act in a multiplayer fashion is absolutely unfair.
