Remove the 2 pce combined tank armor

My first post back from 2 week ban is to tell you SE to fix your flawed game, dont make me wait twice aslong to upgrade as every other role, and if i end up geting a upgrade i CANNOT equip it because i need 2 items to make a full upgrade

Im talking about "heavy armor" that covers your chest and head, and "flanchard" that covers your legs and feet

you missing the fact that tank get tome 10x faster than dps with instant queue.

I vote another ban to keep the clutter posts to a minimum.

nothing really wrong with it if u really wanted to use it u should use either the artifact gear or use the ones from wonders palace or ak then complaining about 2pc needed there is other options then using the pieces which use up 2 slots

I hate the two piece armor and hope that's not a trend merely because they're ugly.

Actually those 2slot gears are a problem. When we have DL and wabt to upgrade to AF2 we need to wait until we can buy 2 pieces. Instant queue doesn't help there if you have a 300 cap per week.

People who want to farm CM speed runs generally form parties via /shout or with friends, so your point is invalid.

The main problem with the 2-piece darklight is when a tank wants to upgrade to AF2 chest for example, he'll be stuck with the hoplite circlet (ilvl 60) while DD classes have the darklight head piece (ilvl 70) if they ever upgraded their chest. That's pretty unfair for no particular reason imo.

Such ugly gear. /puke

You see, the problem with your argument is that a il90 body + hoplite head is statistically superior to Heavy DL in every way, making it a true upgrade.

I hate it mainly because when your weapon is out, you look to the side. When you ride a choco, you face the ground etc and in CS, where your head is supposed to move, it doesn't lol

Of course AF2 + Hoplite Circlet is a straight upgrade from the Heavy DL armor, you can see that by just adding up the stats on the pieces and comparing.

My main issue with the 2 slot gear is that why are tanks forced to use an ilvl60 head piece when upgrading from DL to AF2, as opposed to DD classes whom are able to equip ilvl70 headgear when they upgrade? There's really no reason why SE couldn't have made it so that the darklight pieces for tanks were separate instead of lumping them together.

On a side note, I also really, really hate how the heavy darklight armor looks like. At least let us take off the damn helmet, it makes my character look like she has neck problems.

I think their point is that iLvl60 head + iLvl90 body is inferior to iLvl70 head + iLvl90 body, which is what DPS get to have.

I feel you, OP. The Healer/Caster body pieces are also one piece, so if I ever want to get a head or body AF2, I have to downgrade the other slot (or spend 900 tomes and HQ+quad-meld iLvl70 crafted gear, which defeats the purpose of using DL.)

I personally don't mind the 2 slots pieces as long as they look ok, but those are ugly :p

This. AF2 Body + any headpiece IL60+ surpasses DL.

BLM/SMN and WHM/SCH support this too , we got a 2 piece too ._. no way to hide the head slot :(

I agree and am refusing to purchase the Darklight chest, am just skipping it over in favor of the AF2 Valor Chest for my PLD...{will have it next Mon...} I think the 2 piece combined look is horrible and as others have said makes upgrading to AF2 ever the more ridiculous, makes no sense why there really is no other decent option besides the AF2 chest...le sigh~!
