AF4

I can get behind this. Of course, my take on this would require you to trade in the complete sets, if only for the sake of clearing up space. AF1 would be boots, legs, body, hands, hat. AF2 would be belt, boots, legs, body, hands, hat. AF3 would be collar, cape, earring, boots, legs, body, hands, hat.

Key items would contain only the special stats and the +skill from the sets to make up for the *barely-contained glee* loss of macro pieces.

Warlock KI:
Healing magic skill +10
Enhancing magic skill +15
Enfeebling magic skill +15
Elemental magic skill +10
Shield skill +10
Parrying skill +15
Spell interruption rate down 12%
Enhances "Fast Cast" effect

Duelist's KI:
Enfeebling Magic Skill +18
Healing Magic Skill +15
Enhancing Magic Skill +33
Elemental Magic Skill +15
Adds "Refresh" effect
Enhances "Fast Cast" effect
Enhances effect of "Spikes" spells

Estoqueur's KI:
Enhancing Magic Skill +15
Enfeebling Magic skill +15
Enhances "Refresh" Potency
Enfeebling magic casting time -12%
Increases enhancing magic effect duration
Enhances Enhancing Magic duration by 20%
Enhances "Saboteur" effect
Adds "Refresh" effect
Enhances Enfeebling Magic effect
Increases the Potency of Enfeebling Magic by 10%.
Augments "Composure"

100% Agree!

On the OP, if SE does make AF4, I want a melee set that focuses on making enspells more powerful. That would at least make up for the melee gear neglect RDM has seen since Adoulin began.

Melee, yes, En-Spells, please for the love of god no. They have no idea what they are doing with En-Spells. En-IIs and Sword Enhancement Damage gear prove that to no end. Take for instance our new back piece, which has 5 SED on it, worthless next to Atheling or Letalis Mantles. I would rather it have a side bonus for them, but a focus of En-Spells is just asking for it to be worthless and weak in my opinion. We really need an En-Spell overhaul to begin with, but that's another story. So far as a RDM AF4 would go I would love melee focus to counter the magic focus that we had in our Empyrean set, En-Spell stats on the side would be cool, but not nearly worth being the focus of the set itself unless you mean something like a set bonus such as Composure and Esto.

Fair enough. That backpiece is indeed pretty damn horrible.

I agree that enspells do need a revamp/redesign. My initial reaction would be to have damage be determined in part by enhancing skill and in part by weapon damage, or go the Flametongue Weapon route and have it scale with Attack Power while using the per swing calculations like Enspell IIs do.

Anyway, since enspells in AF4 would be out of the question, I wouldn't mind something focused on attack power, accuracy and haste.

That I most definitely agree with, however like I said, En-Spells as a side thing would be cool, I just don't want them as the primary focus of the set due to SE's previous... enhancements... for those kind of spells.
