How bout some dataminin?

[Uzor]

Templar's Mace adds 7.5hp to your Cure Vs thus it's obviously superior to +50 mp.

Healer's Staff adds 50 MP, thus obviously its superior to Templar's Mace when you're sitting at 900/1200 MP

Added more items. More info on the feral stuff

 

[Farys]

Templar Mace was "equal" to healing staff only if you couple it with an Astral Shield but that new grip makes the balance shifted in favor of the staff now.

And it's only the 1st batch of grip! Now SE's gonna play with our nerves and money with new shiny grips at each update.

 

[hellstorm]

my guess the fertal stuff has to do with the pit

 

[Morari]

The Susanoo Shuffle

LOL! I'll be extremely disappointed if alcohol is not involved with this fight at all.

Lik Kabob
A lik on a stick, grilled over an open
flame.

Grilled Lik
This lik on a stick is guaranteed
to make you lick your lips.

Hmm, considering how hard those Lik are to catch (Leremieu lagoon in lufais) ...I hope the foods are good lol.

Lik breaks a Lu shang 75% of the time, kinda need both fishing rings to catch decently, and after 3 fish you have filled your fatigue, so i hear, never caught one myself...

 

[Garvin]

Ooh, here comes that Green Eyes stone in dynamis. Lemme macro on my Templar's Mace and.... ohwait

Come on now. I don't care for a lot of what Uzor says either, but you're just being silly. MP+ has its place, Cure Potency+ has its place. Quit acting like both items don't have their place. :/

 

[Rappa]

Macroing on full +mp gear when you get your mp filled to max for free is silly? Cause I carry around a lot of +mp gear that I macro on when I know I'll get the mp to use, at least +100 more mp than I'd get in my normal casting gear.

These items are apparently Exclusive, so I doubt that they are actually crafted.

No, the stuff about Templar Mace. Or am I just getting confused by Uzor?

Edit: Bah, I think I am. Never mind.

Comments: See Above

Lizard Strap +1
HP+10 MP+10
Lv.30
Comments: Semi-beneficial at the level

Mythril Grip
STR+1 VIT+1 Accuracy+1

Comments: ACC+1 during melee, 1% Modifier increase during WS, WOW

Mythril Grip +1
STR+2 VIT+2 Accuracy+2
Lv.55
Comments: ACC+2 during melee, 2% Modifier increase during WS, WOW (Slighly less sarcasm here, key word slightly)

Platinum Grip
Accuracy+2
Additional effect: "Stun"
Lv.65
Comments: All depends on the 'Stun' Proc Rate, otherwise, acc+2...

Platinum Grip +1
Accuracy+3
Additional effect: "Stun"
Lv.65
Comments: Same

Katana Strap
Enhances "Zanshin" effect
Lv.60
Comments: For all jobs other than SAM, you'll rarely get another swing on a miss...and if you're missing enough that this becomes useful, than you'll probably miss on the Zanshin as well.

Axe Grip
HP+20 STR+3
Lv.65
Comments: STR+3 is a 2-4% increase in STR for a WS Mod, which will barely be noticeable

Sword Strap
Two-handed weapon delay -3%
Lv.55
Comments: 3% of 504 is 489 Delay...again nothing to get excited about.

Pole Strap
Double Attack+2%
Lv.60
Comments: Increases total dmg output by 2%...

Spear Strap
HP+10 MP+10 DEX+3
Lv.65
Comments: Good for THF/WHM Using a Jupiters staff to SATA I guess...

Claymore Grip
Critical hit rate +3%
Lv.65
Comments: Good only with low delay weapons, such as Sea weapons where you're hitting alot for lower damage, as any crit increase will occur more often.

Note that I didn't comment on Mage Grips for the most part. Since you lose TP when switching grips, this makes it very tough to find one that will benefit quite a bit in Melee and WS situations. No single one of these grips will bring any 2-handed melee noticeably closer in a party.
Yet again, if you're already great equipped, you'll notice the most benefit, as many of these are percentage increases...but I REALLY wanted to see the -delay occur in more than one grip...like rings that increase in STR/INT/MND the higher tier rings grant you more.

The BEST you can really hope for in those is the CRIT+ or DA+, which will not close the vast gap between dual wielding and 2-handed weapons whatsoever.

 

[Rappa]

The BEST you can really hope for in those is the CRIT+ or DA+, which will not close the vast gap between dual wielding and 2-handed weapons whatsoever.

Don't forget the general boost to 2h not even using a grip at all, as mentioned in the update details. We have to see what this general boost does before we can really compare 1h and 2h again.

 

[Skaw]

Figures that someone would forget that grips were meant to be a supplemental boost to two handed weapons in the first place. Not to mention that any boost, regardless of how insignificant, is still a boost because the slot was previously unused in the first place.
