Absurd Diadem Stats Intentional?

[Nekodar]

Aetherial gear have had random secondary stats since 2.0 haven't they?
It just didn't matter before because the gear was such low level anyway.

TBH I haven't seen anything too crazy. Pieces with 4 Sub Stats still seem to have a total stat budget.
The benefit would come from a dual sub stat piece with capped stats that are ideal for the class.

Anything that has super high stats over other 210 gear was a photoshop just to get people to rage.

And it worked brilliantly to with all the threads it spawned.

All aetherial gear has similar stats for their level range

Stats can apparently be absolutely awful too, seen a tank chest i210 drop with just 14 parry n 10 acc.

Indeed, it seems that there's the two i210 job stats that are fixed(?), like Vitality & Mind for healer, then the rest are completely random. You may get no extra stats, or healer pants may get high parry but only 1 (or no) piety.

Everything is random after the main stats, if indeed they are fixed, so you could get BiS but also dozens of high ilevel but statistics poor gear. I find it fun, rather than the "horrifying devaluation" others are decrying.

I hoped that they would implement those gear with even a "3rd random main stat" and the possibility to get ANY secondarty stat, not only the strictly connected to your class, to see more strange things, like an healer with a decent amount of INT, a PLD with far more MP (actually I don't think piety can show on tank gear) or with some Cure power / spellspeed, an overparrying BLM with case of DEX and Parry or a SMN with some STR that mind to autoattack too. (the 3rd main stat shoulden't be as high as the other, halved would be nice)


Instead those gear up to now (and up to me) ar a little... TOO MUCH simply for their Ilv and basic stat, until the last patch they balanced ilv progression making the large raid content drop gear with 10 ilv lower than the endgame raid, but up to now, if you want your truly stonk gear you can just avoid both Alexander and Void Ark, this is mindblowing up to me :/

Ps. also making this gear Convertible woldn't be bad like all the other Aetherial and taking in consideration that more or less you can already convert them to materias exchanging them.

Loving the idea of being able to farm your own stats. SCH you want crit? Well you'll have to kill 10,000 Dinos but by golly you'll have that crit stat you always dreamed of. Just don't ask for it on a Weapon. Ever. We aren't doing that anymore.
