AF2+2

The smn set has more bp delay minus than the current cap of 45 seconds. Do they plan on finally reducing smn bp timers to 30 seconds or anything like that?

It looks like they toned back a lot of these, again taken from Julian's minings:

Level 90? That's interesting.

And also irrelevant, these days. The stats in the OP are probably more like what the armor will be with the +3, which is unfortunate all things considered.

Is there even a difference besides the level? And probably the "enhances x II"

Pants dropped from 4% Haste to 3% Haste.
Lost all the "II"s.
Lost 2 Attack off the hat.

Dang, I didn't even notice that.

They changed all the stats again:
Etoile Tiara +2 :: DEF:23 HP+28 STR+7 Accuracy+9 Attack+9 "Waltz" potency +7% :: Receives "Enhances Trance Effect" for +3 Trial

Etoile Casaque +2 :: DEF:51 STR+6 DEX+6 Accuracy+15 Attack+17 Enhances "Violent Flourish" effect :: Receives "Enhances No Foot Rise Effect" for +3 Trial

Etoile Bangles +2 :: DEF:22 HP+21 VIT+6 AGI+6 Accuracy+7 Attack+7 Evasion+7 Enmity+4 :: Receives "Enhances Fan Dance effect" for +3 Trial

Etoile Tights +2 :: DEF:36 STR+6 CHR+6 Accuracy+6 Haste+4% Increases "Jig" duration :: Receives "Enhances Saber Dance Effect" for +3 Trial

Etoile Toe Shoes +2 :: DEF:21 HP+28 DEX+6 AGI+6 Accuracy+7 Evasion+7 Increases "Step" accuracy :: Receives "Enhances Closed Position Effect" for +3 Trial

So they reverted them back to the original stats. The legs look freaking sweet now.

Here is the post for the augments.
Here is the page for the update items.

My guesses are :
Enhances Trance : Lower Waltz delay during Trance. Hopefully at least -2 or they wasted their time.
Enhances No Foot Rise : Either also gives us TP with our finishing moves or will give us more finishing moves with fewer merits.
Enhances Fan Dance : This is hard because they are adding two things to Fan Dance, but I am hoping this extends it to MDT as well.
Enhances Saber Dance : Please be more DA or Attack or something.
Enhances Closed Position : Probably more Acc/Evasion, adds another stat like Attack, or removes the directional requirements (not that they really matter).

One thing is absolutely clear though. 20 jobs just got 5 ambiguous JT enhancements each. We won't know what all of them do for a few months.

Working on pants first, lol.

Agreed, but to keep capped haste, I'm gonna have to save up for Ocelomeh Head +1.

Or use Zelus Tiara which would give a bit more freedom in the hands, but evasion- makes me sadface.

but then

Trial 5048: Etoile Toe Shoes +2: Adds "Enhances 'Closed Position' effect"

Just because I've read many contradictory claims, I was wondering if anyone could verify if the Etoile Tights +2 enhances jig duration even more than the +1 version.

I know there are certain instances in +2 relics where the removal of the "II" in the description did not actually result in the removal of the increased enhancement (+2 SCH relic feet, for example).

Thanks in advance!


P.S.

I apologize for the necro post, but I didn't think this warranted the creation of a new thread.

/summons Sylow/Byrth

Chocobo Jig is still 3 minutes with them on. No one has tested Spectral Jig's duration or the enhancement increases to it.

Thank you. :)

I WANT a relic piece +2, but honestly I'm not drawn to any of them.

I was thinking abouter getting the Casaque +2 for the No Foot Rise augment... the only thing that seems worthwhile to me.

You need to be wearing the pants all the time you have saber dance on? Or it's just for activate it then can change?

You likely have to keep them on the whole time. It has not been explicitly proven, but was assumed through analogy with the AF2+2 hands.
