Does this game truly need minmaxing?

[Teon]

I found some threads, talking about BiS of various classes.
All of them seems to lead to a mix of allagan and myth. Ending up with a idiot crappy look, and...BiS stats..right..

Why, i wonder. Coil better runs maybe? Oh please.
A run with full AF2 gear set (accessories included) and a run with full allagan set (accessories included) both gives to the player god-like performance (now add lv50 HQ food), perfectly able to handle coil till the end, turn 5 included.


Beware: this is not a thread about math: would lead to an endless discussion about which stat is better maxed , blah blah.
My goal? A complete Myth set for this WHM, and allagan set for bard. Hoping it drops , when i get myth capped (time to use them) i will probably take a look to an other class where myth gear is nice , and i enjoy that class (BLM probably).
Honestly, do you prefer that crappy look, or just work towards a complete set, enjoying the look of your char?

If someone got lost: the core of the thread was: take care of your look, more than lead our community to the boring rule "minmax or nothing" on this game where minmax is not needed at all
Some crafted armor fullset are so cool. And even not minmaxing you will perform good enough to enjoy the content
Minmax if and when possible, if you're so fond to it. But don't pretend to turn this game and our community like some "well know" cesspool mmo out there where "minmax rule or kick"
On this game, minmax is not the key. ilvl 90 armor and you're done with your beloved "endgame", time to make your char cool

p.s stick to the present, this thread was made today, and today we don't have vanity system online, we don't need an other post "meh soon vanity system will be online, who cares"
