    And they we're only worth using for an entire 1 second ever 1.5-3 minutes, depending on the cooldown.

    For example:

    Drachen Greaves Rare/Ex
    [Feet] All Races
    DEF:10 HP+12 AGI+3 Evasion skill +5 Enhances "Jump" effects
    LV 54 DRG

    The HP? Pretty much useless.
    AGI? It's a stat the job doesn't even use. Useless.
    Evasion skill? You will never have enough evasion to not have a floored evasion rate, so it's exceptionally useless.
    Enhances jump? 10% damage increase for an ability with a 1.5 minute cooldown, and it ONLY works on the one type of jump.

    A good 95% of the gear in the game worked this way, and as a result wasn't worth using. If you happened to autoattack in the few seconds you had them on (which is very VERY likely), they actually lowered your overall damage in the long run.

    I covered that. I said the gear wasn't usually worth fulltiming, but that's because of things like Dark Knight relic gear having INT and MAB on it. Empyrean was the first af set where they actually tried to get things right and a lot of that gear had good TP-set life in it.

    A lot of it would have been fulltimed if you couldn't swap in combat. Yeah, the jump gear, a drg shouldn't use that full time. It's not worth the bonus to jump for the loss to acc/att/etc, but the empyrean pieces.. were simultaneously best (for a time) tp pieces and served an ability or a trait.
