MrHappy interview with Yoshi-p (Raid boss tiers, set bonuses)

[Gumbercules]

Yeah I know you guys might be thinking like diablo 3 levels of set bonuses but I can assure you we probably wont see that stuff ever, or not for a long time,how i interpret it is like with the GC ones a +det or something, which would only give a raider in full gear a slight advantage over upgraded tome gear given they might get that extra couple of stats(maybe get that accuracy cap covered while having more relevant stats) sort of like how diadem gear can have like 5 or 6 substats on it

I could see that being the case also, just using WoW as an "MMO" example of set bonuses in a system where said bonuses have lead to "optimal" play being based around those bonuses. In that example it mostly affected end game content as far as being to gimp to compete on the PVE spectrum. (did have pretty significant consequences pvp wise, but ff 14 would probably just "disable them in pvp scenarios)

Honestly have 0 knowledge of WoW, but being blizzard i could imagine the set bonuses did some crazy things like uber drain per hit with x skill etc, so yeah i dont think that will be a thing in 14 i agree that would just be over the edge, same for skill trees being a thing
