Full Perle

[Nacht]

Im just going to say this to get it out there, It is Acceptable for DRG and DRK to full perle. ONLY DRG and DRK.

And heres where I justify it. (atleast for DRK)

Unless a DRK has E body and Dusk gloves +1, there is no reason to not full Perle, The only gearset that beats it out is Homam E. Body and Dusk +1 gloves. (Its been parsed somewhere.)

What kind of shit is this? any set with more haste will beat perle, which is not that hard to do for drg or drk.

Full perle is NOT acceptable if you've put any reasonable effort into getting seals.

This is from a few pages back but don't see anyone explicitly refuted it. Perle may have been good gear at 80 for DRK and DRG, but it is not at 90.

I will speak to DRK since it is one of my 90 jobs. DRK Bale Head +2 is 6% haste, the Bale Body is 2 or 3 % haste (+1 and +2) the Bale hands are 4 and 5% haste (+1 and +2) Owning any of those pieces on drk makes the Perle set pointless. Its not a question of Dusk +1 gloves anymore. Drk Hands especially is an easy duo of a manticore in Altepa, and the body can be quested in one of the most simplistic quests. ( I think i got 5 seals from questing and 5 from a NM in Grauberg) Also owning either ace's hose or ace's mufflers make Perle pointless for DRK.

Perle is fine for someone who just leveled the job, but I would recommend working on the +1 and +2 items. As has been said numerous times, many of the seal NMs are pretty easy now. Seeing a player in full perle I would assume they either don't care about the job or its very recently leveled.

People have to wear something while getting said seals...don't they?

Aurore, Pearl and Teal don't bother me as long as the person in them isn't asking me what weapon skills or spells are or something.

What Komori said. Full AF3+1, while not super hard to get, isn't done in a day if you've just started with all the abyssea stuff. There could be a lot of things you have to catch up with, and removing a single piece of the perle set also removes the bonus, so it might not be worth doing while you only have some of the AF pieces, not for TPing anyway.

When I try to find out who is a dumb player or not, I look for stupid gear choices more than which "tier" the armor is of. Full perle, while not optimal, is not a stupid choice. Combat behavior is also a much better to use to identify poor players than if they're wearing bleeding edge gear or not.

My Opinion on Full Perle.

Full Perle should only be considered a "Gateway" Armor, Once you get even 1-2 Pieces of your +1 Empyrean, For most jobs, thats where Full Perle stops becoming useful. You should never be happy or Comfortable in full Perle, It should be "Okay, This is base ground, Now i need to get out of it as soon as possible".

Cause I'm forced to Agree with Nyr, those who generally wear Full Perle/Teal/etc Are generally those who either wear it cause it looks pretty, Or because they heard somewhere it was okay. I do not hate the people who use Full Perle as a Middle-Ground, I however, Dislike those who wear it like its the End-all Armor set of Awesome. Also I hate people who wear Perle Hands over Dusk or just odd things like 4/5 Perle and then Something stupid like a Haub or Askar head. (Which completely negates the idea of what makes full perle decent, the Set Bonus). those people irk me

At the least Full Perle isn't as awful as Full Pink.

I can never forgive Full Aurore gear. Its complete crap by even NQ AH Standards. I especially hate Thief's who wear Full Aurore. HTURGHIREUG It rages me so so hard. especially with items like Raparee harness iwfghwiueghwriughwrgu. I've gone and upset myself


TL;DR Perle is a Decent Gateway Armor, But try your best to replace it as soon as possible.

I like to judge people based on their stupidity and not gear. I've taken many year-long breaks between the different abyssea areas coming out. And therefore I'm behind. I only have my DNC head and hands to +1 but I'm working on everything else as I'm able. I'm sure when the servers are back up, I'll take a friend and me and him will go out and start seal-hunting so we can do better. But it still takes time.

Same with my WAR. Some things just aren't worth giving up, besides a few perle peices aren't bad to use to hold you over until you complete your AF3. Pretty sure hands and feet are the only peices I'm hanging onto.

Perle hands and feet? I use uh...well hands and feet sometimes. Dusk still gives 1% more haste, and I use those latent 3% haste WAR boots...even tho I know I can never keep that latent on for very long so I end up using perle boots more often.

I'm too lazy to un-equip when I move around, lol. I'll take the -1% haste. XD

Either way Both are replaced with +1 Empyrean Feet :P! Go get em!
