[To Dev] Augmented gear and Tatters

[Rezeak]

After checking with the development team, they mentioned that they would like to address this when they expand on Einherjar. They would first like to address adjustments to salvage and Nyzul, so it will take a bit of time until they get to it though. They apologize for the wait.

/sigh i don't mind the wait i just hate it when I've used up my abj. to be told there gonna increase it in 6 months.

I really think they should of put a little more thought into the Augments I mean by just looking at the best stuff nothing I've seen is equal to af3+2 which was the original idea.
Honestly if they just made every item equal to Af3+1.5 with one peice being a AF3+3 i think it would of been a much better idea.

Either way this is just like evolith amazing idea but poorly executed imo.

Side Note : Adaberk isn't the best for DRK for WS(Twilight) or TP(AF3+2)

StoreTP is one of the possible augs on Adaberk, making it possibly better than AF3+2

AF3+2 has 3% haste which is TONS AND TONS better than store tp because of Last resorts duration and haste buff

with magic haste (DRK should always have this even if there forced to sub WHM to get it) 3% haste is part of the 65% haste DRK would get and the difference in DMG for 62%->65% haste is 8.6% DMG not to mention the crit rate and the AF3+2 set bonus lol

The haste is only better if you need it, which you do not.
Adaberk can get STP6 and DA3, this would easily make it better then af3+2 body if you don't need the haste.

Besides, the gear is outdated, even with the augments. It's nice to wear for the 3 hours it takes to get from 75 to 90 in Abyssea, until you replace it with +1/+2 empyrean armor.

Not true. Some of the gear is quite useful at 90 and trumps even +2 for certain situations.

Oh, do tell. Which?

And them comes lvl 95>99 and tatters blow away in the wind again lol

True, this is just another "ebur fail"(And yes, I mean ebur, not uber.) and soon, no one will remember because 99% of all of the augments are garbage and/or situational. I'm just glad that I sold my lolkirin that I bought for 200k for 2m. They're already back down to 450k. lol

Adaberk is back on top for war and drk tp sets.
N legs, n hands, n feet are all amazing for many different weapon skills now.
Byakkos haidate are back to being the best TP legs for ninja, and have potential for war and mnk, and they're the best inside and outside abyssea jin/hi/ukkos pants, instead of just outside. Might be best for v smite as well, I dunno how it works.
Seiryus kote are even better then they use to be for hi.
A good arguement can be made for using p legs for drk tp sets.
Shadow breastplate is the best Torcleaver body, might be good for other stuff too.
A feet get cure potency, best curing shoes unless you hit the cap without them.

And this is just the stuff that I can think of off the top of my head that this stuff is 'the best' at.

need to make mobs drop the abjs in greater numbers and make them no so rare also dropping multiple of the abjs would be nice

[blowfin]

Oh, do tell. Which?

Using augmented Haidate and Heca hands in my Rampage build. I could probably include Haidate back in my TP set too, but it means sacrificing 2 slots of +2, which I dont think is worth it, certainly not outside Abyss.

There are some really nice pet stats for efeet too. Also Ive read that Ebody can pack enough Store TP to make it a worthwhile body piece for DRK, but dont quote me on that.

And of course theyre situational, like everything else in this game.
