Crystal Armor

[cengeal]

I think the real reason this has virtually no chance of happening is that the new content is at an end. I mean sure, we might see something brand new in the next update, but it would most likely be something small and insignificant, like a new weapon model. This would require 22 brand new quests, concept design for the armor (and let's face it, they would probably just make more stupid looking THF JSE), and most likely special effects. I was just more interested in the idea of Crystal Armor being your Ultimate armor. Maybe there would be a single hand piece that could individually outperform your Ninja's hand armor, but it could never compare to the benefit of equipping the full set.

Have you not been following the news? New content is not at an end. They announced not that long ago that they indeed changed their plans to include additional content past the removal of console support.

I think most of what we're getting is new battles, new gear etc. I'm not sure we'll see more reason to kill NMs than "has loot".

By "new battles", I suspect we'll see more rehashes of old content.

And by "new gear", I don't mean the sort of undertaking this would require, even though I enjoy the idea.

Also, I toyed around with what PLD's would basically probably have for stats.

The body piece would basically be Cab. Surcoat +1

DEF:151 HP+118 MP+90 STR+29 DEX+19 VIT+29 AGI+19 INT+19 MND+19 CHR+19 Evasion+41 Magic Evasion+48 "Magic Def. Bonus"+4 Haste+3%
Enmity+8 Damage taken -10%
Cover: Physical damage converted to MP +35

With 20 accuracy, more enmity, more hp and a set bonus of occasionally absorbing damage (based on # of set pieces equipped). That wouldn't be too bad but other sets combined might be really really OP.

I feel like it also has to be based on the # of pieces equipped, rather than 5/5 or else a lot of jobs may never see the set bonus.
