Did they really have to nerf Allagan gear?

[Zell1226]

Seriously? Why are my tank gloves becoming garbage in addition to pants becoming even worse? Stop trying to force me into doing mix and match gear and wasting myth points because of it. You make a game where switching jobs is so easy, but then make the game so you should only play one class. With CT lockout, primal drop lockout, coil lockout, myth cap, nerfing good allagan gear, what is the point? I'm getting really tired of this garbage.

Okay Zell, now tell me
All three tank gloves, Paladin and Warrior Myth and Allagan, need to have different attributes
They are all same IL so equally powerful.
How would you change to make them all have different attributes? What attributes would you give them?

I'd take 1-2 attributes from one of them, and give it 3-4 materia slots instead.

Customisation FTW, rather than this retrospective nerfing of gear that you currently own and worked to achieve.

Edit: Nerfing of classes. Nerfing of items that people spent weeks grinding to achieve. Denying the heroes of Eorzea the right to even set up a home in a shanty box with assets accumulated from years adventuring between ten plus people off the bat, until they grind even more.

Yep, the player-base alienation decisions in this 2.1 patch are very full of win.

Monks got buffed, monk allagan gear got changed which (imo) to even better stats.


Time for you all to roll monk and roll around in utter bliss

Its now possible for monk to have barley no skillspeed (which we all know is a terrible stat), coupled with the improved length of our damage buff skill and then add in all our damage buffs hahahaha.

Seriously when I heard my class was getting buff i was pleasently delighted, because it was entirely unexpected to me. Im not sure square enix devs have been playing their game. Im also not sure why allagan items got changed at all since people have long been working towards optimal sets.

Now hold on there, you crazy person you.
Why is our 4x MNK DPS group not getting any Limit Break?! Are we so overpowered that we no longer need it?! Nah, we're probably just too skilled for Limit Break.

[EvokerKeii]

This is bait and switch.

Go collect all this gear. Got it? Good, now we're going to change it.

[Musashidon]

no they don't with all content only needing ilvl 70 at most you have the choice to play any class anytime because oh look you can farm ilvl 70 all you want and even get ilvl 80 wep with very little trouble. plus with 2.1 where you get a ilvl 90 wep every week? come on pointless whining over something that matters very little you can wear allagan or myth both will be overkill for all content that is out and will be out in 2.1 maybe with more coil turns ilvl90 will be forced to pick and choose but i highly doubt with how se is going with the game.

We should start testing if 4 monks with slow limit break (or none) do more damage than 4 other dps with limit break.

Honestly it might be close!

Though lets be honest, we will prob be the first class to be nerfed in 2.2 rofl.

+1 OP. I really don't understand this move at all. We planned out and made gear deals based on BiS for us, now I'm just spending myth because its getting nerfed either way. It sounds like they are reverting Healing/Caster changes, they really should for tank as well. Really just dumb and unneeded move by SE. I'm not sure why they are trying to "fix" what ain't broke.

On the other hand they made my healing gear best in slot. Thank you Square Enix!
