Ambuscade Armor

[Rydal]

I was really hoping for some -DT because it would've boded well for some nice idle sets in the upcoming months. I'm much less optimistic that the Morrigan's and Marduk will be either good or unique.

I don't see the mage or other DD sets being great. Just looking at the Jobs each set will be separated by, I'm not optimistic.

Sakdi set (THF / RNG / BST / COR / DNC / RUN)- Could be good DD set. Probably focusing on Atk/Acc, TA/DA/QA, Crit, maybe ranged stats because RNG and COR are included, probably will offer absolutely nothing useful to BST.

Marduk set (WHM / BRD / SMN)- Support job set. Probably a skill+ and MAcc set. Probably will offer nothing useful to SMN or BRD unless it's on one piece each.

Morrigan set (BLM / RDM / BLU / SCH / GEO)- Nuking set. MAcc/MAB. Current pieces probably offer better options. The only way I'd see this set working better than other stuff is if they offered Magic Burst damage boosts on pieces like head, legs, or feet.

Yeah, I saw the Sulevia set and thought "Great, here's something everybody can use." After emphasizing how anybody could participate in Ambuscade, why wouldn't SE try to push people toward -DT gear since every job can make use of it?

So yeah, disappointed and pessimistic now.

Not necessarily DT gear for every job but at least gear that benefits every job in a way not usually focused on or something that isn't found on many pieces. Maybe this most recent set was a disappointment and the others won't be as "run of the mill".

[Olor]

Yeah this set is disappointing. The fact that the "normal" fight was made way harder this month makes it worse.

I wanted the gear but I've kind of lost interest, the KI mobs are more annoying to get and the monsters in the battlefield suck.

At least the vanadiel 1% can enter quicker now, now that us 99% scum aren't bothering their content anymore!

More accurately, since every melee job needs accuracy and to be able to survive, every melee needs this.

Mages? Meh, -dt and refresh on the same set would be nice but mages don't need MAB/MACC and -dt on the same piece. Giving mages a cloth version of Sulevia's undoes a lot of what Sulevia's does for melee.

"Great, your nearly invincible while casting and not casting, even though most aoes don't affect you anyway"

I say this as a geo and a blu. I don't need my mab stuff to have dt on it. Yes, I can eat a poorly timed aoe while casting a long spell, but there has to be some risk to mages.
