Twilight Gear, why fulltime!?

[Shadowsong]

Mini-Rant Go!

Can someone please explain to me why every other BST I see is fulltiming the twilight gear set? 0% haste, 0 pet buffs, 0 idle bonuses. Are you that bad a player you need constant RR3!? There is level 18 gear that is better than this.
BSTs i confront about this get so uppity in my face about it, its crazy! PERLE gear is better for God's sake.
Literally, wearing twilight set is like being naked, all for the sake of reraise? Buy a 20k earring please and take off the crap armor.

Mini-Rant off

Maybe they think it looks cool.

Just kick them if they're doing it in their party. Whatever they do while soloing is their own problem.

They are probably the same people that don't macro at all.

That said, why does it effect you what gear other people wear? don't invite them to your parties if you don't like it.

What's really funny? The people in perle and twilight gear are probably having fun where the OP is having a temper tantrum about how they're all doing it wrong. I'd say the person having fun in a video game is doing better than the one having a fit over what someone else is doing. Take a step back and have a little perspective, OP.

I often put on really crappy gear while running around just to troll others! I recently put together a chr- gear set just for reactions (actually I made it for some testing to answer questions, but its really funny when you get a reaction).

more seriously, I often idle in my twilight gear for the refresh/regen. Otherwise I usually don't complain about other ppl doing less than optimal stuff on bst or any other job unless I'm in the party w/ them and relying on them for something... which is almost never.

who are you seeing like this? bandwagon bst competing w/ you in dyna? Hey, if they are killing slower, thats fine by me. I get more mobs that way.

I usually show up to events in a mankini and pitchfork with whatever silly hat I feel like for that day

Its not like you have to be the best geared of a bat to still do the job, just peeves me out sometimes lol
Yeah mostly bandwagon BST, and no it doesn't affect me much so meh. The kind of gear people graviate to confuses me, especially when better gear is easier to obtain lol.

There's nothing wrong with fulltiming Twilight Mail as long as you can cap haste. twilight belt, af2+2 pants, brego gloves, and zelus tiara give full haste. OP is right though in that Twilight helm should not be used for tp gain.
Unfortunately, the lowly lvl 75 mirke wardecors with dual wield augment that everyone forgets about is not only better than twilight body because of the delay reduction of it and suppa combined, but it is your best body for tp with the above gear until you can score both Mextli Harness and Cuauh. Headpiece.

So dont always knock gear till you see the total package.

Apart from refresh on body and regen on head?

if /melee I can understand them not needing body, but head is a good idle piece.

Despite it being an awful fulltime choice, it does actually contribute a few things. 25 DEX makes up to an 11% crit rate difference, and 25 STR and 25 Attack raise your average melee quite a lot. It would still lose to proper Haste gear, but it's not nearly as awful as the OP makes it out to be. It may even beat Perle head/body combination (assuming no other pieces), depending on current Haste set.
