Lack of content and another level increase looming

Thanks for making my point for me. People spout madness such as this in a desperate attempt to preserve their status as "elite". Perle Armor is not nearly as good as the Empyrean +1 sets for the jobs that can use it (looking back, it served as a good holdover to Empyrean Armor), but I'll eat this laptop if it didn't come close to matching the non-HNM gear prior to the first cap increase.

Using it for WS sets, you actually don't come close. Perle is utter crap compared to N head, body, hands, legs, feet. For SAM, Shura is still better.

TP is closer, but again, not as good when you can get 1% more haste w/o the set than with it.
