Voidwatch : The Second Chapter (08/26/11) + New weapons

[Mahoro]

New Atmacites found, the Regain +2 one should be pretty nice:

Atmacite of Mysticism: MP+4% AGI+4 MAB+5
Atmacite of Rapidity: MND+10 Fast Cast+4 Snapshot+4
Atmacite of Preparedness: VIT+5 INT+4 MDT-4%
Atmacite of Deluges: Enmity+10 VIT+10 sTP+10 DA+2%
Atmacite of Promises: MND+4 RAcc+5 Waltz Potency+20% Song Casting Time -4%
Atmacite of Latitude: MND+4 Subtle Blow +5 TP Bonus +50 Haste +2%
Atmacite of Finesse: INT+5 Ratt+4 RAcc+10 Magic Burst Damage+20
Atmacite of Coercion: STR+4 AGI+4 Accuracy+5 Regain+2

Some great testimonials of the new mobs on that thread whose link I posted above. New mobs include reskins of Caturae, Amphiptere, Sandworm, Celaeno, etc. The new Praying Mantis NM is named Kaggen and apparently he attacks like an Iron Giant. BG reports 28 new NM's.

Holy. Crap.

[Mahoro]

On second thought, that can't be right can it? Maybe the person who posted on BG meant TP Bonus +5.

[Strange]

It's probably right. TP bonus is something SE doesn't seem to mind handing out in large quantities. Most likely because the cap is so low. Can't go past 300 tp. For reference, a hagun gives 100 tp bonus.

New KI Periapt of Sapience makes the discernment messages more detailed.

But, it makes "The fiend appears vulnerable to Pet Abilities!" into "The fiend appears vulnerable to Eft Family Attacks!" or BP's into "The fiend appears vulnerable to Light Elemental Blood Pacts!" "Water Elemental Wyvern Breaths!", haven't seen an automaton one yet.

/cheer for SMN proccing being easier now instead of me cycling through every avatar....

this pleases me, however... this doesnt change the fact shit doesnt ever drop <.< guess itll be slightly less painful now, though.

I managed to get my application accepted, I should get on a few times to test stuff out.

Yar, but I like this atmacite because of Wildfire. Wildfire tends to pull incredible amounts of hate because of it's massive damage, but it's enmity decreases as TP increases. A 300 TP Wildfire builds almost zero enmity.

I doubt I'll actually use this atmacite unless I *know* I will be going balls-to-the-walls with damage, but it had me excited for a bit.

SE has stated that they will look into the drop system for Voidwatch... time will tell, I guess.

[Aanalaty]

Im actually most interested in this one:

Atmacite of Coercion: STR+4 AGI+4 Accuracy+5 Regain+2

Anything that just enhances damage of melees is pretty unimportant since 90% of the fight is tanks+support and melees standing around waiting for their number to be called. Regain makes procing easier so I will be looking into this heavily.

The TP bonus is nice for a few WS that get notable boosts from TP, but most people wont care much. Wildfire being one of the better uses for it.
