Gearset Stat Permutations, why they are bad, and what you can do to fix them!~

[JunseiKei]

I'm just remembering back to the days where BiS gear sets were combinations of pieces from various origins.

...And Final Coil was completed in a week (literally, there were pentamelded crafted gear that was better than the raid gear). That's why it's probably not returning. It makes the raid tier look like a joke because it makes you more powerful that much faster.

People say they want these options to gear up secondaries. The reality is most people will throw these options at their mains first.

Has mostly to do with the length of fights. Ninjas does exceedingly well in short fights; vicariously, monk does exceedingly well the longer the fight is; dragoon is somewhere in the middle. Most of this tier's raids can be done in relatively short time (Final Coil roughly 10 minutes VS something like Creator's 5 minutes average for this tier). The shorter the fight, the closer the DPS disparities are.
