I still don't get people who say SMN empyrean armor is awesome. They are just like gigantic band aids to cover all issues with the job. In the end what they are without regard to perpetuation and skill over cap bonus...

2 MP per tick refresh
10% bonus to BPs
Enhanced magic accuracy

Imagine if the WAR set had:

2 HP per tick regen
10% bonus to WSes (does not work with relic/mythic/empyrean wses or fellcleave)
Enhances accuracy of elemental WSes

Would you still say it is the best armor set WAR ever got?

The SMN empy is lacking obvious things like pet haste, pet DA and all other stats the WARs actually got. All we got were band aids to make our job average.

Is it the best armor we've ever gotten? Sure, but it is still worse than the armors WAR had from old 75 level content. We are just doomed to get stuff that nobody else than a SMN would think is good.
