More or less I assume it will be the best still because the stats we already had on them were generally better. The SMN set is already very nice from what I understand, putting it up to 119 only makes it better, if it already holds some of your best gear and its getting upgraded, its only reasonable to expect it to get better, and be potentially the best.
I am sure they will get a +1 version like everyone else.
This isn't as bad as you make it sound, more grind is what we need, no one is doing anything because everyone is finished with the content, that's why shouts have been dead for weeks. The game has been more lively on Phoenix in the last week than the previous month all together.
That's what I mean, your looking at the same gear as before but better, which means all of the old best Empyrean and Relic stuff will probably pop out on top again if they do it right. Though SMN is questionable due to the Skirmish gear I suppose.
Don't get your hopes up, most skill enhancements for AF went up by 2~5, not 10~20, so you could end up disappointing yourself needlessly.
