July 2026 Version Update

I got very close just charging in on DRG but I got hit hard at like 24% in my Jump set and passed away. Val tanked the adds pretty effectively which was surprising!

Odd the ammo is "All Jobs", but the weapons are job-specific. This was kind of mentioned earlier in the thread but still very weird. The jobs spread on all these weapons don't make a ton of sense. Perhaps this was just wave one of weapons and they are planning to release another set of weapons pairing with the ammo's set bonus, when the next HTBF or two is added. 3 hats/legs, x amount of weapons per HTBF (there's 4 this update). Looking into this a bit further (and assuming they do release weapons for all jobs eventually):

MNK/PUP/DRK/DNC/SAM/RNG/COR/BLU/SMN/RUN did not see a weapon this update.

RDM/WAR/PLD got two weapons (neither of the WAR or PLD weapons are their primary weapon). SCH is also on a very weird weapon, Dagger.

DRG's weapon is awkward, so I would expect a Polearm.

I could see a staff that DRG, SMN, BLM, WHM, MNK, SCH are able to equip.

NIN could offhand the Knife already, so I wouldn't necessarily expect a Katana. I would expect to see a Hand-to-Hand, a Sword that at least BLU could use, and another Dagger with DNC on it (still not sure why they were left off, maybe a typo? anyone with Dagger can confirm?).

Scythe/Great Sword/Great Axe/Great Katana for the respective jobs

Not sure what would they would do for RNG and COR, probably a Marksmanship (Archery for RNG) set bonus with a new weapon.

Rng could use a new main weapon for pewpewing (its actual purpose, not meleeing /nin with naeg/KC). Last I checked, perun is still BIS?

You sound real upset about nothing. You were complaining about RNG not getting anything, and I said the ammo wouldn't make sense in it's current state, because RNG wouldn't use an ammo piece with wsd+10%. It obviously needs a ranged weapon to make it work.

I didn't "say the same thing" pages later, did you read any of what I wrote? I said they would have to add a ranged weapon to make a comparable set bonus tied to a weapon. Even outlined they would have to put them on a new weapon to fit that style of set bonus weapon+ammo(ranged slot) pairing.

You ignored all of this (along with the 5 or so pages of people arguing about ***that has nothing to do with July Version Update, didn't say a single word about that derail) to express your disapproval with my post.

Not sure what you got going on, but you need to R-E-L-A-X

I actually feel like they accidentally left RNG off of the Limbus dagger. It weirdly has Ranged Accuracy on it, but none of the jobs natively use Ranged attacks. Oddly enough, the Limbus sword (Saber) has COR on it for MAB, but there is no ranged accuracy on it there. You normally would see ranged stats on weapons for jobs that can use ranged (see any ninja katana or gear), because its part of their way of making everyone "Accurate" (acc on everything in equal amounts). Gleti's/Crepuscular Knife is one of the few exceptions to this. So I can't understand how they came up with those stats, and why RNG isn't on the dagger.

They technically got a new bow from Limbus recently, and COR did not get a new ranged weapon. You can argue the sword is way more impactful than the bow, but SE catered to RNG's shooting ability with Bow for some reason that update. RNG can also use the grip, if you want to use a staff for shooting.

Dude deleted his account because I disagreed with him?

So discussing points and clarifying is arguing now? I engaged your point about RNG not getting anything in my above posts, there was nothing to be upset about...If I was arguing, why would I engage to that degree? (You actually started bringing up something from page 2 to argue, not me)

Man, you be good bruh.

Lmaoooo
Thats hilarious
Made dude rage self-delete

Might not be worth digging into the why of the weapons till we get the other two mini addon HTMBs. Might be two more sets of weird ***that completes the pile of weirdness.

oh but when i do it i'm a monster

pearls before swine, i say

Inb4 - weapons and armor all have set bonuses on them.

Bonus is pdl+50. Only while solo with trusts.

You're welcome.

Wow, grats on the win although given how much you struggled (and kudos for still getting the win!) I wouldn't say it's particularly viable.

I mean, 3 deaths, so many temps and stuff is not exactly what I would call "feasible".
Altough not like I mean to farm it, just wanna do it once so, yeah, guess that works.

You were on WAR/SAM right?


Was wondering on PUP Overdrive zerg but with how some of the crystal moves work if you stand more than 15 yalms away I'm not sure it would work.
For the same reason, SMN AF/AC zerg wouldn't work I'm afraid, plus the Avatar would die in a nanosecond once the adds pop.

Yeah, Submission makes it kind of a real *** of a crapshoot on whether your trusts live or not. Sometimes it won't kill them before Silence/Amnesia/Muddle wears off, and they'll snap back up to full HP. Other times you get it like this vid, messy and rough.

Happens solo on lower difficulties too. Sometimes Submission gets 30 seconds on 3 of the debuffs it inflicts. You literally can't do anything other than swap gear and auto attack. It's annoying.

If you try to stand at the door the whole fight, its move Beckon will deal 1800 damage with 50% DT. So any ranged strat has to involve big heals at some point. You're never far enough away to be out of its casting range.

I'm sure there's better strats, and a win solo on VD doesn't have to be this messy. I just threw myself at it like, "I probably can."

My favorite part was the dead galka

Reported to Galknesty International!

#GalkaLivesMatter

Last night. Waited my whole life for this moment.

Galkanasty here, he left the mines, nothing we can do.

Because the dagger could maybe be viable for RNG, can't let that happen.... apparently.

It would have been interesting if RNG was on Malignance Pole. Then they could use Malignance/Telopanos Grip for a nice RNG-staff pairing. The bow is terrible (mostly due to WS), I don't know why SE keeps trying to force that on people anymore.

Funny thing is they never release a new non REMA gun for some reason. Just DOA crossbow and bows. Worthless without rema ammo.

Dynamis weapons should have been a COR gun but they got a way better option in 3 new daggers, and RNG got zero weapons they could use, because why the hell would you make those Crossbows of any path, lol.

They're giving COR swords and daggers, and RNG more bows and crossbows

Yaegasumi is OP, as everybody knows.

Anywho, that's a way cleaner solo on VD.
