I just stated "BiS" as a simple modifier that explains all gear from highest tier of raid content available. The mixture is indeed part coil gear and part soldiery (and mythology gear before it during 2.0~2.1). It was just a broad explanation of how they proceed to implement content. The fact that it's also a mixture lends itself to how fast the highest tier of raid gamers seem to quit within 3 months for a while too.

Sorry I did not make this more clear.

Oh ok. That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Not sure how I feel about the tail on the AF2 DRG set but I would kill for that helm lol...

Too many spikes... I'd probably still glamor it with sailor gear just to keep looking adorable. If I wanted to play as a hedgehog, I'd play Sonic.

The HA accessories have crit besides ring and tome armor has crit. There's a ton of crit on current gear.

If they took off the long red spikes on the arms we'd be pretty close to Kain's armor with little differences honestly (skirt-type thing/tail being the largest ones). Obviously its not going to be 100% the same since this is a different game but a clear shot better than our first version.

I don't want to expect anything. The designers seem to have fun screwing up white mages.

Well I'm hoping Artifact Armor in 3.0 is treated more like Relic weapons where you continue to upgrade them. Not by making them glow but actually upgrading the appearance. This video is from 1.0 where they discuss making the armor. They show that you have a standard set then add and change certain piece like belts, visors, decoration, etc. Add this concept to our AF and let us choice how we want each piece to look.

Yeah I'm also disappointed from the WHM male designs. I also don't like most male robe designs for BLM too. Thank goodness we can remodel things in this game.

I've been pretty happy with all the WHM sets so far--kinda shocked to see so much dislike for them.

I like the healer set too, the caster set is another story though...

My personal rankings for soldiery would go mnk = brd >> healer > tank > drg >>>>>>>>>> ... >>>>>>>>>> caster > caster (miqo'te version... that tail)

hm... Considering the time they needed to implement Ahriman and Dracon Mount, i would say we can calculate with ~1 year to have something we see from concept art to appear ingame!
Well, if the new gear in 2.4 is really the AF2 we have seen from concept art, it fits into that time too and let me become depressed about future content...
Shiva also have that time from becoming real after first seen on concept art...

Let me look, when they said they will rework Egis to become more usable?
What about all the other promises and concept art we have seen so far?

I am getting a very bad feeling about all this...

I know the unweathered gear has tons of crit, I was referring specifically to the 2nd coil drops.
The only HA accessories for healers that have crit are the earrings and the bracelet. The ONLY HA armor that has crit is the pants which have the same amount of crit as the unweathered Daystar pants only without the piety! Lame lame lame. I've seen many scholars who have glamoured their UNweathered gear to look like the HA stuff.

I'm not sure why having -20 MND is a smart choice.

To avoid overheals??...

/exit'sthatway?

I do hope they will give casters something good this time. The weathered gear was ridiculous and totally out of context. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if they were keeping AF2 for the expansion.

..SCH thrives on the over-heal.

I can understand if he was talking about WHM and even then, that's stupid.

LOL. Me either. Why would u gimp a main stat?

Third Crystal Tower 120

Changed to what I think it will be, going on past increases of 20 item levels., 70>>90>>110.

Or Shive will start at 120 and then change in 2.45 to 130 to incentivize peeps to run it, like Ramuh XD

Bard look always cool :o

I'd love a hoody style for WMH with /visor option

Have they not released concept art for healed yet? No one has seen it. Now I'm worried it looks atrocious, SE knows it and doesn't want any to see until it's too late.

Ugh, this is awful. This alone is enough motivation to do coil for half way decent looking gear. It's almost like SE releases fugly gear so you have to use the glamour system.

Whereas I think it looks awesome and is one of the main reasons I changed from BRD to MNK (loving MNK loads so never regretted). The design totally looks more MNKish than anyother sets, in my opinion.

I'm not saying your wrong for not liking, different people, different tastes.

I will admit it is better looking then Soldiery gear but I will still glamour it. I think the best looking MNK gear came from CT. I wish they wouldn't have strayed so far from that and would continue to add some Gi/Koga type armor for MNK. Might just be my FFXI roots showing and being accustom to that type of armor.

I'm assuming the next gear is for the new Allagan Tomestones will be job specific gear, so there's a chance it could be. Just because soldiery is kinda like the spiritual successor to darklight, sorta, I can see the new gear being a spiritual successor to myth, sorta. Maybe. Who knows? I could always be wrong.
