Armourcraft: waste of time.

[Hero82]

I worked really hard to get my armorsmith to the point where he could craft Darksteel gear. As i too hate the repetitve dungeon grind for tomes. BUt stupidly i didn't compare the stats to the Darklight gear before wasting my time.

Both have the obligatory stats for VIT and STR but the darklight gear rightly stats you for Parry next. The only item of Darksteel that carries Parry is the chest/head. The rest seems spread over skill speed and others. Skill speed being useless to a Paladin from all that i've read as it doesn't reduce the cooldown enough to replace Parry.

I suppose you cold materia for Parry but its never going to amount to as much as the Darklight gear.
