This. Hoping and praying the ct3 chest is a crit/acc combo or det/acc combo.

If not i'll get a kirimu coat and put sav aim 4 x2 and savage aim 3 x 3.

There is about zero chance for any Crystal tower gear to be better than any crafted gear or Dreadwyrm gear. Crystal Tower gear are meant as placeholders or for glamour purposes only.

It's going to be Acc/Skill Speed - you heard it here first.

Although I would love it if I'm wrong and it's acc/crit.

Comparing the kirimu coat to a ct3 chest with good stats, I consider the slight decrease of damage and the slight increase in vit to be ok. I didn't say it was gonna be BIS or anything. Can also save money while I wait for dw chest by not having another crafted piece.

Got a theory that ct/tome/coil gears all have different stats, though not too bothered to prove myself on that. So based on that the ct chest should be crit/det, acc,det or crit,det. Since both ct AND coil chests have sksp, I don't think it will have sksp. Useless speculation is useless anyways, lets hope CT saves us

Yeah I'm expecting wod to have something usable as well. Especially since st had some usable pieces as well.

As you know, each left side item has vitality, primary stat (dex for us), and two secondary stats (which can be Acc, Crit, Det or SS). Each secondary has different weight: 1 "strong" (I will call it Sec1), and "weak" (I will call it Sec2).
I had a look on the different Sec1 and Sec2 for all the left side stuff (except the weapons) for the stuff from myth token (Myth), BcoB, CT, soldiery token (Sol), ScoB, ST, poetic token (Poet) and FcoB.
Here it is:

Head:
Myth: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Acc
BcoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Crit
CT: Sec1: Det, Sec2: SS
Sol: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Acc
ScoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
ST: Sec1: Det, Sec2: SS
Poet: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
FcoB: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Crit

Body
Myth: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Acc
BcoB: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Crit
CT: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
Sol: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Det
ScoB: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: SS
ST: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Crit
Poet: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Acc
FcoB: Sec1: Det, Sec2: SS

Gloves:
Myth: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Acc
BcoB: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Det
CT: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Crit
Sol: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: SS
ScoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
ST: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Crit
Poet: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Crit
FcoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det

Belt:
Myth: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Det
BcoB: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Crit
CT: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Acc
Sol: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Det
ScoB: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Crit
ST: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
Poet: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Crit
FcoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det

Pant:
Myth: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Det
BcoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Crit
CT: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Acc
Sol: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Det
ScoB: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: SS
ST: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
Poet: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: SS
FcoB: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Acc

Legs:
Myth: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Crit
BcoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: SS
CT: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Crit
Sol: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Acc
ScoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: Det
ST: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Acc
Poet: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Acc
FcoB: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: SS


It is hard to find cycles or logic inside this. Nevertheless, regarding the secondary stats which have been used so far for each item, for each "Tier group" (First group: Myth, BcoB, CT. Second group: Sol, ScoB, ST. Third group: Poet, FcoB, WoD) and in total, this is the items I would have created if I would have been in charge of the items in WoD:

Head: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: SS

Body: Sec1: Crit, Sec2: Det (I really hope this one is true!!)

Gloves: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Acc

Belt: Sec1: Acc, Sec2: SS

Pant: Sec1: Det, Sec2: Crit

Legs: Sec1: SS, Sec2: Det

Answer tomorrow!
What do you think we are going to have?

[Boss_Koivula]

Body: Crit/det
Legs: Acc/det

Even if one of those comes true I will be happy. Can't wait for tomorrow!

[Truedragon]

There is logic alright but not in the way you defined it. The logic is that all crystal tower gear is inferior to first coil, second coil and we can assume to be the same case with Final coil gear. Brd chest drops from T13 and if you can get a chest that is better than Dreadwyrm in a crystal tower raid (ie on day one some lucky brd will get the chest drop), then there wouldnt be any point for you to do T13. To prevent this, no crystal tower gear has been better then any coil gear. And it is no different this time around.

So its pretty safe to say that Dreadwyrm > WoD chest. And knowing that Kirimu > Dreadwyrm, the same would apply Kirimu > WoD chest
