What Happened to the Diadem Discussion Thread?

[Yahallo]

Any thread that involves wailing about THE DOOM OF FFXIV!!! is living on borrowed time to start with. To be fair, the thread was basically just "Grrrr how dare those filthy casuals have 210 gear like me!"

raiders have their 210 weapons, which casuals wont get until 3.15

so they are still superior gearwise and theres zero reason to cry about anything yet

That people can get good gear outside of raid
Like everytime at the start of an odd numbered patch

I think it has more to do with how it is possible for the Diadem Gear to actually be better than the raid gear.

The Diadem gear in this situation is better than the 210 Esoteric and the 210 Alexander Savage pieces. The sum of its secondary stats total to 196 while the Esoteric and Alexander Savage pieces total to 160 and 159 respectively.
