Tank Darklight Armor.... Really?!

[Ipkonfig]

Unfortunately, there are no plans to separate the head portion of darklight armor or visibly remove it from the body piece.

Why oh why did they make Darklight and Heavy Darksteel both locked? It's so great to get the Allagan Chest, your first piece of Allagan from turn one, and you have to go back to Hoplite because there are no other helms to pick from since both ilevel 70 options are locked.

If you have the Allagan chest, then you have a few options, all of them would still be better than darklight.

1. You can use the AF head piece (it is still actually better when combined with the Allagan top, stats and defense wise).
2. If you have the Mythology points you can go and get the Valor head piece, it is actually slightly better than the Allagan as it has more accuracy. (You swap crit for Parry with the allagan head). Otherwise they are identical stat wise.
3. You can farm up an AK Hoplight Circlet which is a good inbetween piece between the AF and Allagan.

In the end you have better stats than the Darklight hands down and you can show your face/hair. Win Win if you ask me.

The Darklight and Darksteel is just meant to be an Interrum piece and may soon be replaced with Crystal Tower.

This Darklight and Darksteel set has been around since early 1.0 do I would not expect they would prioritize changing/ redesigning this armor that will just get replaced with just about anything new.

Hope that helps.

Because there's something called Crystal Tower; where the head/chest pieces are (if I remember correctly) were separated, and meant to be the bridge between Darklight and Coil.

I can not help but LOL at this statement, you have no idea they are separate, and it's content that won't be released for at least a month, by that time my coil group will most likely be full ilevel 90, and we are pretty casual. It doesn't matter to me anymore I have the Myth helm, but for those tanks that are up and coming, farming the 1320 Philo to get the Chest/Helm combo only to get the Allagan chest (because turn 1 is very pugable) and realize your only real option is to drop back to Hoplite the ilevel 60 green pretty much stinks.
