New WHM BiS all from Coil!!WHY SE??

WHMs need to pray to RNG gods again orz

edit: Daystar set gives too much crit, only good for SCHs
edit 2: Double-checked XIVDB, after re-adjusted half of the gears still can use Daystar.

Because it just makes sense that the hardest content gives the best gear?

only half the Coil gear is BiS for SCH though... So uh, that line of thinking is incorrect.

Except it can be assumed that the Oil/Sands drop in coil, and have a higher likelyhood of losing rolls since its a generic item for all classes. Not saying Whm is in a good spot, but SCH will have its own issues to deal with to get BiS done.

At least WHM has choice and some use for SS.

Try gear a SCH, everything that isn't crit is garbage. Levithan weapon, New relics, they all suck!

Uhm, I'd rather say how come all weathered gear has crit? damn it -_-

I'll remain content and satisfied with full myth i90 gear from the vendor thank you very much. :o

Since I am big on Determination, this is what I have came up with...

http://xivdb.com/?wardrobe/9824/WHM-BIS-

It favors a combination of Daystar and High Allagan, with Yagrush for the weapon.

Yagrush better make Esuna's effect AoE or I'ma be disappoint! ;P

New Coil drops don't appear to be RNG, you get a generic drop and turn it into an NPC.

I'll never get High Allagan chest hahahaha! You win SE...I'll be full worst-in-slot again. :)

Implying secondary stats matter.

Implying you couldn't use all the Daystar gear and make it through T9 just as easy.

Implying implications.

They matter to those who want to build their character a certain way, ya know for variety sake. I don't mind the Daystar set personally, I've always wanted to build a crit setup for my WHM and 2.0-2.1 never offered me that chance due to the lack of diversity. We're finally getting over that so I'm pleased.

I'm frustrated by this because it feels like the same thing that happened with Myth accessories. I held out so long on upgrading to myth on white mage because they weren't big upgrades to DL and I was healing fine in all content. I feel I'm going to get stuck again holding out on the token set (and holding my ilevel back) because I don't want to waste the tomes just to fight for the loot later.

It definitely favours WHMs, but I think we'll find out how often and where the upgrade items for Daystar gear drop before myself and the SCH decide what to do and who lots on what.

The Weathered version of Daystar all cost Soldiery tomes at the same price as Myth gear is(was?) so 895 body, etc. Then for the full version you need a "Sands of Time" whatever that is. The non Allagan weapon costs a whopping 1300 Soldiery tomes + an unidentified allagan tomestone(maybe you will have to do coil for this one too)

Hopefully these "Sands of Time" aren't too hard to get.

Everything that isn't crit is suboptimal because SCHs were given an actually *good* secondary. That's hardly comparable. I would love for my WHM t have a synergetic second stat like my SCH does. lol

Also, SS is garbage even for a WHM.

Long as my WHM meets or exceeds the required ilv...I don't care about BiS.

Who cares about BiS? Just get the full matching set. I never had issues healing Twintania wearing full scholar af2, so why would I assume I'd need to wear BiS to beat the current content?

Except Scholar AF+1 -is- BiS for that class for most slots, lol

Whichever looks more pretty lol
Because remember glamour and vanity ?
So buying the gear with yoshitomes won't be all that of a waste if you get it's coil counterpart!

In time it won't matter if you gear both
gear your SCH with stones and gear your WHM with coil
and it's not like BiS is something needed, frankly you can put whatever you want on your healer it won't influence that much
as of now i am sure you can clear twintania with no problem if you take the non BiS (allagan over myth and vice versa)

To be honest gearing out BiS is somewhat pointless as we have been shown; SE will give no ##### about making the gear near worthless in the next major coil patch. So I'd be more worried about playing effectively and utilizing the drops to gear other classes unless you want to waste soldiery...

Plus with organized static group you can resolve token/coil gear drops in a fair way.
