  -Thousand Needles can be aimed in any direction
  -Slip Dash distance increased
  
  General increase in damage. In general it's a 20%-40% damage increase (though it varies from move to move).
  Exact numbers are in the chart in the link below.

  From the looks of it, windmill is our new strongest move.

  What are you talking about? Even two gust stings can overpower the windmill, and they're faster too.

  I wonder if Gust sting will be worth using over Double Crecent and the occasional Pummel Storm.
  
  
  Or if Lann will still be as damn crit reliant as he is now.

  Top-tier, just like he already is.
  
  Would say he easily out-damages Evies, maybe hammer Fionas even in DEF-stacked scenarios and more damage than Karok.

  Of course Lanns are crit reliant. Though Dev cat always give us terrible swords barring Infinities.

  Infinities are the best sword. :|
  
  +13 balance, higher base stats and attack. but 1 less crit.
  
  It just sucks that they take an arm and a leg to craft.

  Of course they are, they better be with a higher level requirement and a way higher crafting requirement.

  I have Raiders and Infinities. The level 60 swords are just terrible and hardly match our class. Raiders does, but the cons are too large. Infinities are the ideal Sword Lann weapon.

  ... why are some of you stating that level 70 weapons are the best weapons for a character.
  
  ... because that's almost redundant. Almost.

  WELL it's actually not always true and pretty debatable if you factor in the realistic costs of things. With manuscripts going down now, yeah, level 70s are probably better in most cases, but it's still very possible to get unscrolled +10 level 60s for like 70-80m and dual scrolled +12 60s for 400m. I think dual scrolled +10 70s are like 500-600?
  
  And then there are Ivories, but they can only get up to +15... so they're kind of capped at a point that isn't a lot better than high level 70s. Still great though.
  
  But level 70s are sometimes better unconditionally, especially if you aren't afraid of buying runes yourself.
