Favorite/Least Favorite AF3+2 Set Bonuses?

[StingRay104]

The proc rate (I believe) is actually 0%/1%/2%/3%/5% for 1~5 pieces. And yeah, it's the same for all the ones that have been tested that double damage.

Idk proc rates for others, if thats what it is then fine. For set procs it won't activate unless you have at least 2 pieces so 0% on first as correct, but for the rest idk. It seems to happen so little with my 3 pieces I fulltime that it could be anywhere from 1-3%. I do like it when it procs on aftermath for 2k tho. In general I was expecting set bonuses to proc a little bit more, 10-20% comes to mind, but thats just me. All in all I love the af3+2's, finally pup gets gear that isn't mage gear.

RDM tests suggest 3.5% and the RDM tests are probably the best way to generalize results.

I like RDM's set bonus the most as well.

Think DRG's has my least favorite, that wyvern always gets 2shotted ;P

BLU set sucks.

Summoner proc set is all too rare. I usually see it once per day I play. And you can't control it, so you might get it on a DC abyssea mob by accident.

It's ok that they don't activate too often, but a bit more wouldn't hurt either...5% on full set is lame(considering it's not worth wearing full empy on most of the jobs, if not all of them).

Naw, that's specifically the set I tested with. Furthermore, testing on the Summoner set has shown that not only is it a separate process from Blood Boon, but it activates on a different reduction scale.

Interesting. Wouldn't it be better to test it with as little DA as possible? Or atleast outside abyssea, since the Atmas don't have exact values?

Well, the Atma do have pretty exact values. You can find the testing either linked or in the discussion page. If you were looking to show that it's +5% with a full set, it would certainly be best to do it outside Abyssea with as little DA as possible. Doing it with high DA helped show which procs first (apparently normal DA), and at this point I might reach significance faster if I just continued my old test instead of starting a new one. Regardless, it isn't that interesting to me and I doubt I'll take it much further.

Yeah the blue mage set is pretty damn terrible since hands/feet aren't for melee at all and since they insisted on not giving us enough haste or stp to tp in the DRG set to 4/5 in let alone 5/5 the bonus might as well not even exist. It's goddamn stupid.

I remember them distinctly saying the whole point of these sets and their bonuses especially was to encourage players to not have to dress like bums anymore and make the game look less ridiculous as a whole.
