The August version update will bring revisions to the use of two-handed weapons, as well as a number of modifications to several jobs.
In this edition of Topics, we would like to elaborate on the changes that will be made to the two-handed weapon system. Job changes will be described in length in a future Topics article.

Two-handed weapons

Up until now, there have been instances in which the attack frequency and speed generated by dual wielding would greatly surpass those of two-handed weapons. We have since examined this issue from every conceivable angle, and as a result have decided to reconsider the frequency and delay calculation methods for two-handed weapons.

This month's version update will see the introduction of a new type of gear called "grips," which players can equip in their offhand weapon slot when using a two-handed weapon. We are also planning to apply changes to associated weapon skills as well.

Attacking with two-handed weapons

The new modifications will be set up so that a character's attribute scores will enhance attack benefits to a greater extent when wielding a two-handed weapon than when using a single-handed weapon. Further, when attacking high-level opponents or enemies with high defense, two-handed weapons will deal more damage than they have in the past.

A word on grips

While not designed to bring about radical improvements, grips are a new lineup of items which can be used in tandem with two-handed weapons as a means of wielding them more effectively. They accomplish this by enhancing a weapon's benefits while compensating for shortcomings. Grips will not be limited to offensive weapons, as some will be tailored to mages and their indispensable staves.
Different grips will allow players to adapt to specific situations depending on the type of two-handed weapon they are using, as well as the type of enemy they are fighting. Players should be advised, however, that changing grips mid-combat will result in a loss of TP. Therefore, no grip's benefits will be restricted to the execution of weapon skills.



Rethinking weapon skills

The majority of two-handed weapon skills already stand to see a vast improvement based on the changes described above. However, we will also be retooling the characteristics of several particular weapon skills in order to enhance their usability.

Jo no - dajcie DRKom jeszcze Black Belta....;(

Dajcie gripa co daje utsusemi jeszcze możę >.>

powinniśmy się tylko cieszyć. z punktu widzenia tanka mocniejsze TA nigdy nie zaszkodzi

I mocnejsze zwykłe ciosy przez co będzie trzeba wiecej TA ^^:

ja bym się tym za bardzo nie martwił. widziałeś naszych SAMów, albo DRKó bijących Tiamata full time

3% LOL, ale poprawa, conajmniej 10% powinno byc

Ale ten motyw z wiekszym dmgiem na mocniejszych mobach mi sie podoba.

może im wyższy level itema, tym większy będzie bonus. na lavelu lv.75 itema będzie -50%

Już widzę te walki o szpulki.

Albo - "Szpulko-master popnął! Full attack!" ZOMG!

to będzie 1% drop z Leaping Lizzy.

Na bank tak będzie A Gal sie potnie bo w dynamis dojdzie relic grip do zrobienia

Ja tam się zastanawiam jakie będą atrybuty do gripów dla magów np.

Refresh, SMN magic +10, ACC +10, ATT +20,
Enhances Avatar ACC, +50% avatar bloodpact DMG

Do tego biore sushi, refresh i nie muszę restować

Zet - 4 lata już grasz w finala i nie wiesz, że najlepsza rzecz na jaką możesz liczyć to (jedna z tych rzeczy):
- Wind Resistance+10
- MP+2%
- Enhances "Resist Curse"
- Enchantment: MND+3
