Revamp of Raid Loot

I'll actually fire back on that one.

The examples I gave might not be illustrative of the greater idea. I think the more impactful portions of the new armor are the primary stat weights - granting more str/mnd/int for sacrificing vit are almost definitely going to make them BiS after you have broken i120ish. those extra 3-4 points of primary stat are going to be worth 9-21 points of all of those secondary stats, while getting rid of vit you don't really need once you get to those magic numbers for the current end-game meta. The secondary stats, while maybe off from BiS on certain classes in certain circumstances are going to overshadowed by the primary stat boosts. I would definitely argue that WoD would be WELL below the i135 new armor on primary stat value merit ALONE. Throw in some wacky secondary starts to really det out your MNK or give your BLM an insane amount of cirt, and you have another level to the puzzle of figuring out BiS.

Please don't focus on the specific values of each stat, just focus on the theoretical changes to how items stats could be layed out. Sacrificing VIT for STR, sacrificing secondary stats for defense, sacrificing defense for STR, etc. As long as the stats remain in-line with an overall "power" rating, there should be a relative amount of balance with gearing.
