Generally, no. You can use the same build for the 1.3 patch. However, you'll need to make some minor gear tweaks (e.g. using Sacred Honorific or Crafted Boots if using the Set for Mid-Game). Some gameplay elements have also changed (e.g. Xis Runes -> Enhanced Runes, Catalyst drop points, etc.), so make sure to read the changelogs for 1.2 and 1.3 to get up-to-date.


What base for the honorific boots?

I realize this is probably a dumb question but I am scared of fucking something up.

Anything you can wear? (-:

Very versatile, fairly easy to gear, decent damage and the skills gives the build a lot of strength. Fussilade can carry you through a lot of fights on it's own. Great starter.

strong, but need high tri-ele pierce, in which case you often focus on ele damage and forgo phys damage i.e. less leech.

You probably won't be able to compensate 100% but you don't have much of a choice, you need it for sustainability.
