Lore Gear... Thank goodness for glamour

I like the caster set actually, probably because it reminds me of the Shiva babe - but, srsly, SE, you couldn't have given us pretty heels? LIKE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THOSE FLAT UGLY DUCKS ON MY FEET!? ;u;

Time and effort? You can get them by doing roulette a few times a week though... o.O

To be faaair...that's ~two hours per week for 14 weeks!

So about 28 hours work total.

Not really much effort at all when you compare it to raid gear.

Only thing I don't like on the DRG gear is the weapon. It's weaksauce compared to Beak of The Vortex

Thaaat...depends on how capable your brain is I'd say. For a 83 year old pensioner with deteriorated reflexes and slowed thinking, it'd likely be an unsurmountable effort. But I can imagine a 17 year old with minor autism to have a very easy time learning the mechanics dance and repeating it over and over. Results are always a mixture of effort x capability after all and humans unfortunately do not all have the same capabilities.

But generally: Yes, for the majority of people, it's less effort than raiding would require.

I only really like the tanking Lore gear. Again the healing set was designed for femininity in mind over health and healing :(. I would've liked a Bismarck or Phoenix set for the healing set.

I LOVE the top to the healers lore gear. The rest of the outfit is kind of meh, but just the top? Sits on my miqo'te just right!

I don't like that the primal themed gear is shared across all the classes. Ifrit works perfect for mnk (claws, fists of flame, etc.) but tanks should have gotten Titan, the unbreakable earth giant would have been perfect and made more sense. Smn/Blm should have gotten Ramuh instead of Shiva. I feel like Leviathan should have gone to drg since he's a serpent and garuda would have made more sense for nin/brd/mch.

I glam'd my lore gear in to the Odin armor, but after getting the 2h sword on drk I went back to using the hellfire set for the sake of the consistency in color. I don't actually like to glamour my gear, I like to see the visual progression of upgrading one piece at a time.
