Yeah I don't understand the whole gear progression mentality when MMO's do this. It's pretty pointless since it doesn't promote diversity at all since if you really want BiS you have to "mix n match" to get the desired results.

Dunno why we couldn't have gotten .1 det (or straight up increase from coil) and hybrid (soldiery), .15 crit (straight up burst crystal tower), .18 vanity + skill enhancing materia.
