Coil loot dropped... won't let me have it.

[Skyl1n3]

I just finished T1 and T2, and after T2 the Allagan Earrings of Striking dropped, and being a DRG with just the Darklight Earrings of Striking I was over the moon as I was the only melee in the group so I was sure to win them.

But wait... "Need" is greyed out and if I press X on "Need" it tells me the Earrings "aren't suitable to my current class/job"... WTF?!! I am the ONLY one in the group that could possibly roll "Need" and it's telling me I can't?!!

So I hit Greed and hope I get them anyway... WRONG, someone else gets them and I'm left pissed off because of some BS reason, what the hell is that about?!!

What possible reason could it have for NOT letting me roll "Need" when they are blatantly for MY class?!!

Maiming is your class, Striking is Monk. Regardless, that sucks ;/

I just finished T1 and T2, and after T2 the Allagan Earrings of Striking dropped,

Striking = Monk
Maiming = Dragoon

The loot was not for you.

//EDIT: It's worth noting that DRG can equip Striking accessories, and MNK can equip Maiming accessories, but neither can equip the other's main slots (e.g. MNK cannot equip Allagan Sollerets of Maiming). It's a somewhat peculiar decision to even split Striking and Maiming with accessories, but there you have it.

Striking gear is need for monk, maiming is need for dragoon.

[Skyl1n3]

I could understand it if I was trying to roll "Need" on Earrings of Fending as it has Parry and Vitality stats not geared towards DPS but the fact that there is almost NO difference between the Striking and Maiming accessories they should allow for MNK and DRG to roll need on each others Accessories on drops or at least in situations where there is only 1 physical DPS in the Party that could possibly use it.


I feel robbed...

Those striking ears are bad for Dragoon anyways to be honest, but they are better than Darklight.

[Gesser]

Yeah it's pretty stupid.

I'm a MNK main, if I couldn't roll Need on the maiming piece if it were an in-slot upgrade... I would be pissed.

This happened to our DRG in Coil the other day... it was her & I (MNK), I rolled Need under the impression we both could.

It was a minor upgrade for the both of us, I ended up winning as the sole-Needer... but had I known she couldn't roll against me I would've had us Greed-off.

I felt really bad knowing I rolled uncontested when I felt she was just as worthy as I.

its moot anyway. maiming earrings are a turn 1 drop and better.

the only striking you should be getting is the ring...and that is a turn 1 drop too. (make sure to run with a static to get that if you are in one)

They need to just consolidate future melee DPS accessories into "slaying" like some of the myth pieces and the primal/ultima stuff.

Not to mention it's less redundancy in drops that would potentially annoy people.

Striking = Monk
Maiming = Dragoon

Pretty much they made 2 str accessories sets. If your a monk you can only roll need on striking if your a drg you can only roll need on maiming although they are viable on both str jobs. When EX primals came out they switched over to a system of having striking only accessories and both drg and monk could need on them.

Would be nice in future coil like 6-9 if str accessories have only 1 set so the loot tables aren't filled with them like 1-5.
