What do you guys think? It seems like a pretty amazing Pugilist set to me. No idea where it drops from though, probably Coffers in one of the Strongholds if I had to guess.
Sipahi Turban
Sipahi Shirt
Sipahi Gloves
Sipahi Sarouel
Sipahi Crakows

Sets are useless (you cant put Materia into them), just let these item rot or get them for the looks. I hope they fix this with the next patch.

Well let's compare the Sipahi Shirt to the Raptorskin Harness (Blue).
I don't know about you but I'd take the Evasion and Magic Evasion over Mind and Accuracy any day for Pugilist. Even with Materia you'd have to risk a lot to get it up to the same level.
You'd have to put a Manaflight IV and a Bloodflight IV on there to bring it up to par with the Sipahi Shirt's bonuses. I haven't seen the success rates of attaching multiple materia yet but I've heard it's pretty harsh. -

No alone with the Bloodflight Materia you would have a much better gear than the Sipahi body.

Er... why try to make a Raptorskin Harness (Blue) on par with Siphani Shirt defensively? Wouldn't it make sense to keep get the Shirt for the situations where you might actually take magical damage, and meld the Harness into a more offensive piece overall? That's how I planned on doing it anyway. It's not like we don't have the inventory space to support it now.

well at least the head piece looks better than a few for dd classes and it has enmitty minus stat

For most of the pieces I think they are pretty damn good.The crakows are pretty comparable to the bladedancer's jackboots imo, and I feel the black raptorkin subligar is just better than the sarouel. The body is one I could see going both ways depending on what you need it for, but man the headpiece and the gloves are very nice. ESPECIALLY the head, i'm looking at a raptorskin pot helm as one of the better pieces at 50 and....uhm yeah, it looks just plain awful when you equip it (maybe that fire resist is nice on ifrit though) and I LOVE the ul'dah turban design that covers part of your face that the sipahi turban sports, and the stats are really nice. Now we just need to figure out where these drop at.

Ls member has the Turban and they said they got it from stronghold. The head peice would also be the only part I'd be interested in for group DPS activities. The rest would be good mostly for Solo/swapping out better materia gear at low % if you can't repair and don't want to go bk to town.

I'm shock nobody mention this funny fact. But that's same exact armor NPC PGL has in opening cut scene for Grindnia!

I'd go with the shirt too, personally

The more I see this thread or talk about the stats, the more I want parts from it... specifically the gloves. I still want the Shirt/Turban though. The Turban has (as far as I know) the most STR we can have in the head slot. Since you can't attach STR or ATK materia there that would theoretically make it the best dps piece assuming you don't have to hold hate for something right? I'm not sure how the +DEX influences critical hit rate to know if that would make the Tricorne better.
I heard these pieces come from coffers and I kind of just assumed it was the BW Stronghold. Is that where they're from? I've only gotten one key so far and it was junk =/ -

Friend of mine told me it was from Natalan (sp?) I didn't check but he's done that more then me so worth a shot. I personaly will get it just to have it cause yea it does have very nice stats. Even though you can't put materia in it, it still has stats you can't get from materia so it would be nice to have for when the time calls for them. I just dont understand why Sent gear is able to be slotted but ours and mage gear cant. Who knows maybe they will change it, but if not oh well lol.

I prefer Rainmaker's Tunic anyhow. Higher defense and STR + Attack Power is more beneficial for boss fights than evasion or magic evasion. For solo maybe not but is there anything really troublesome when soloing as a PUG?
P.S. Why the hell can GLD and MRD equip every damn thing we can. Talk about lack of class identity. Those should be limited to high DEF gear. If they can use evasion gear what is the point. /endrant -

I was wondering if anyone had the full set yet. Often in xi there was a bonus for the full set and thought maybe that could be the case here.

Yeah the Gloves and the Hat are nice, I would like to have the Alpine War Jacket instead, and my Bladedancers Jackboots are sweet, but all in all i like the set, looks useful. Would be nice if they added in a bonus for completing the set to make it more appealing.

Other than a couple of chest pieces like merc pants and sentinel gear (- the pants) these sets are garbage compared to nq gear with 1 piece of materia.
Yoshi himself has said in an interview that he plans for dropped pieces to be better than HQs, but not better than HQ + 1 materia, which will soon be guarantied HQ and 1 materia is 100% so drops will still be junk.
My personal opinion is that they need to stop replacing gear with better gear every patch and that crafted shouldn't be better than difficult to obtain NM drops. Instead make the gear equally good each patch, just different. It may not work as well as it did in 11 due to pieces being purely on situation and gear swapping being a must, but it should help reduce this WoW effect that the game currently has. -

It kinda depends though... better in what sense of the word?
Pugilist for instance can wear Sipahi Turban which has the highest STR for that slot. So for someone going for a STR build, there isn't a better piece regardless of HQ or Materia at the moment since you cannot slot STR or even Attack for that matter to head pieces.
I'm not saying it works like that for the entire set but it's something to think about. -
11-11-2011, 09:22 AMAkuun
I did say other than a couple pieces. (though it should read few pieces)
Since there really isn't anything materia wise that really benefits melee for the head slot Sipahi and Merc pieces are probably the 2 best pieces for DD and evasion builds -

12-09-2011, 02:08 PMKRoseTo be fair the +21EVA isn't really helping you if you're gonna compare it in a fight like Ifrit seeing as you shouldn't be taking any melee hits. Maybe if you run out of tapers and need to go solo for some before the next run though lolQuote:
