    Yes you're right all that fast cast on all the Plasm/Skirmish armor to cap casting reduction for spells along with all the cure potency and MAB and Magic Damage on all the same pieces as that fast cast and add to that SMN BloodPact delay and Avatar perpetuation and Avatar Magic Atk Bonus and all that Double Triple and Quad Attack. Don't be obtuse. I'll agree it's the closest to obsoleting needing to gearswap more than any other item set introduced, but to say gearswapping is doing it wrong for FFXI? You're crazy. It doesn't fulfill every need at every given moment even with it's paragraph long descriptions it's function is to simulate post lvl 99 play without the FFXI Dev Team being bothered to actually break the cap.

    Many abilities and spell effects enhanced by pieces of gear still require non item level variants because FFXI's Dev Team was winging it on ilvl implementation and AF upgrades to ilvl territory aren't gonna be a thing until November and even then it's gonna be weaker than Plasm/Skirmish armor so it'll still require gearswapping for those specific effects, it just wont be as suicidal.
