enhances attack rate, lower recast on abilities, enhance abilities in some way or even give additional abilities (i doubt that part), or items weapons that has a debuff chance (like a 1% poison chance per attack or something like that?

Skill speed lowers your global cooldown, thus increasing your attack rate. However, you'll need a massive amount to really notice any difference. It's one of the weaker offensive stats.

As for the other categories, I don't think there's any equipment right now that does those.

Edit: Rated down for.....I don't even know. Smiley: dubious

THERE IS ONLY RELIC AND DL! Nothing and I mean nothing else is acceptable! I'm so sick of all you noobs, why the he'll don't you guys just inherently know everything about this game already? it's been out for over 30 days now, why do you not already have everything? God I'm so sick of you noobs and your damn questions!

hopefully you all detect the sarcasm above.

wut.

and yeah, sadly there are no more "enhances X ability" type things on gear, because that wouldn't really work with the progression system they're using. which is a cop-out, it totally could work, idk why they avoid it.

I think the reason that they don't is simply since you can't swap out gear for that ability it would be inv -1. Like take drg if they had say boots with enhance jump damage but say they are 3 str less then dl boots now your jumps would be better but everything else would suffer making you worse off.

I would tho like to see something placed on af great to make it more job specific then just the way it looks, like giving you a special ability or a set bonus that might enhance drg specific traits. Or give you special materia that could do that and even be melded to re/ex gear

while that may be sarcasm i dont see how it relates to ateria at all unless youre saying DL and relic dont have materia slots so materia is useless lol.. which im sure is not the case

Right now that is primarily the attitude in the game.

However, now that a lot of people have gone through, gotten their dark light, and are doing the slow climb to relic/Allagan, the crafted gear is starting to appear more and more often (Like my totally awesome Pink Spank Tank gear).

However, at this time there are no debuff weapons anymore (there were in 1.0, but I believe they were all removed with the exception of the maddening dagger and Fostbite, however, neither of them have a listed effect anymore).

Yoshi made a comment about the possibility of them in the future, however, as of now, that entire aspect of the game has been removed. Add to that, debuff potions are VERY limited in use, everything right now is focused on ability debuffs, not item debuffs.

the reason i say that it totally could work and idk why they avoid it is,they could just put the "enhances X ability" stat on every piece of gear in the progression or something. so you wouldnt be trading out better traditional stats to wear the special piece. its definitely more work for the devs so i get why its not a thing anymore.

Basically. Even in 1.0 we saw a lot more variation in gear. This is my #1 complaint about itemization now.

Whatever happened to something like WHM AF enhancing Cure potency? As soon as you add in these unique stats, you make add a lot more options for gearing... rather than making the path so incredibly linear.

The funny thing, outside of procs (which are nice but usually end up being weaker than the raw stats) pretty much all the 'optional' stats people try to bring from FFXI already exist but are just condensed. You already have curing potency: it's called MND.

Boring and working stats > lots of random crap that's half-coded, doesn't work right, and/or has hidden arbitrary caps.

Easiest work around would be just making job-specific materia. Just add "job slots" where you can only add job materia and not stuff like STR. Imagine being able to boost jump on DL stuff but not make it any further game breaking stat wise.

This isn't the case for everything as stats can't always enhance certain abilities etc. Like, for example: extends rampart duration, adds regen effect when using cover, etc. etc.

I am still very disappointed in the elemental wheel being handwaved away because "too hard for most players." That could have done a lot for materia and resistance instead of just regular INT/MND/STR/DEX/LOL
