Some interesting stats, don't know how hard they'll be to obtain the base +2 version, there is some trial you can do to add boosts to our god aweful tier II merits.

Head

DEF:31 HP+20 MP+20 MND+5 Enfeebling magic skill +18 Adds "Refresh" effect
Good +enhancing head, the augment effect is enhanced Dia III / Slow II. Very curious as to what "enhances Dia III" is, more -def or just an additional 1hp/tick DoT.

Body

DEF:59 MP+42 AGI+6 MND+6 Healing magic skill +15 Enhancing magic skill +15 Enhances "Fast Cast" effect
Finally decent +enh on body.
Enhances "chainspell" no idea what it does, only in effect once per 2hr kinda makes it near the bottom of the list.

Hands
DEF:22 MP+32 INT+7 MND+7 Enhancing magic skill +18 "Magic Def. Bonus"+4
More +enhancing magic, that's a good thing.
Enhances "Phalanx II effect", probably just adding more potency. Depending on what the Dia III / Slow II boost is, might be worth looking into meriting it.

Legs

DEF:43 MP+22 DEX+8 INT+8 Elemental magic skill +15 Enhances effect of "Spikes" spells
Looks extremely craptacular. Might be a mediocre nuking piece for those without emp gear. Melee stats and Mage stats should never be on the same piece of gear because we can change gear and it ultimately means less utility in both.

Enhances "Bio III effect and Blind II effect", thankfully two of our worst merits are also on the worst piece, so you won't really be bothered with it.

Feet

DEF:20 MP+21 INT+6 MND+6 Magic Accuracy+4 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+7
Solid nuking piece, not much else to say.
Enhances "Paralyze II effect", if they removed the resistance from NMs then it might become pretty awesome.

These are the trials, require you to get 20,000 XP while wearing those items
Rdm:
Trial 4974: Duelist's Chapeau +2: Adds "Enhances 'Dia III' effect" and "Enhances 'Slow II' effect"
Trial 4975: Duelist's Tabard +2: Adds "Enhances 'Chainspell' effect"
Trial 4976: Duelist's Gloves +2: Adds "Enhances 'Phalanx II' effect"
Trial 4977: Duelist's Tights +2: Adds "Enhances 'Bio III' effect" and "Enhances 'Blind II' effect"
Trial 4978: Duelist's Boots +2: Adds "Enhances 'Paralyze II' effect"
For gear we mostly got a$$ raped by BLU. But there are a few gems.

The Magian swords got renamed to something else. Their DMG:61 Delay 230, stack on your favorite stat and you'll be solid. New stats are something like STR+11 Attack+22, not much better but its ~ok~. We're not on ~ANY~ new daggers, no surprise. Dagger RDM is pretty much dead right now with non-emp Sword RDM's stuck with DB or ~shudder~ Req.

Head
We got raped out of the light DD gear but at least we got the consolation prize, will most likely come from Voidwatch at ridiculously low drop rates, but we might get lucky.

Gravity appears to be,
MP:36
Cast Time: 1.5s
Recast Time: 11s
Gives evasion -40

You can spam it due to the low cast / recast time, but everything is STILL immune to it so that +40 accuracy to the alliance doesn't mean a thing.

SE needs to remove the -movement effect and make it similar to Dia for resistance. Then it would be an awesome spell for party support.
