The new Allagan set of items needs to have a small customization option.

[Airikay]

Y not just do coil T6-9 with myth like how ppl did t1-5 with darklight and myth.
Just combine the 2 and stop complaining!
Yoshitomes are available so just use them till u please the RNG gods.
Also in monster hunter it was all about skill and the weapon.
Vanity > defence
Skill > defence
But attack power trumps all
U can go in with 0 defence and use a decent if not one of the best weapons and beat the hardest content.

Its nothing near the same. New tome gear is 10 levels lower. You should care, because o noes you won't have more health to eat plumes for Titan HM!

even then skill>defense. no amount of gear can cure stupidity.

They can design new dungeon gear with the materia system in mind. Give the gears less basis stats and give the players the option to fill up the missing stats till the specific stat cap.

which would make it the same as new ilv90 gear with slots.

I did T1-T4 in AK gear mostly. As for combining two gears together, that is fine if they were the same ilvl. You have to understand in FFXIV main stat is king and you won't be able to even it out with secondary stats. The rest of your post I can't relate to as I honestly don't understand the point you are trying to make.

Not sure how but I see more White Mages wearing them with their Allagan head and body and Myth legs and feet than not.

Check loot tables of Coil. Then you know the reason. Healer glovers drop in turn 1. Body in turn 4. Legs in turn 5. Thery are buying stuff that is harder to get because it drops very late in coil.

[Jinko]

I know, and they would be way to OP, if you could.

I don't think 1 materia slot would break the game tbh, especially if you can't meld the main stats.

Why do some people have such a huge problem with the idea of a little bit of customization? Are people like Jinko going to throw an even bigger fit if SE DID allow more customization of gear, or are people like him just shouting at anyone who suggests something other than the status quo?

I laughed.

I am not set against it, I would welcome it, but the thing is its not going to happen, if they dev team wanted customisation at end game it would already be in the game.
Also shouldn't a suggestion like this go in the feedback forums ?

Didn't I read they are remaking the materia system ?, maybe your hope lies there.

But ppl r going to clear t6 at least
Assuming they'll still be in most of their i90 gear.
Just like when ppl did coil with DL
And not CT.
I like eating plumes just like i will like eating whatever gilgamesh and leviathan have to offer.
Time to make my own stupid strat till a new strat becomes the normal way of doing it lol!

[Yumi_umi]

Oh lol and hey Airikay, u might want to update that little pic u have at the bottom of ur comments, those r going to become poop gear soon.
Poop gear because of their brownish palette

And just stop. t1 and 2 were tuned to allow ilvl70 to clear it because there was no CT middle tier of armor. SE introducing myth as that middle tier of armor means coil 2 is going to be tuned for closer to ilvl 100. So i dont think many outside of BG and other top tier FC going much beyond t6 without a good bit of ilvl 100.

Biggest thing about lack of customization... is unless they basically front load coil 2 with acc gear new allagan is going to sit in bags till you can reach acc caps.

I'm really shure, T6 will be iLvl 90 like T1 is (and always was) iLvl 70.

To compare: Pharos is iLvl 49 and remember the threads to Pharos in this forum. So only good groups will beat it at iLvl 90.
