The new Allagan set of items needs to have a small customization option.

[saber_alter]

You don't need a full set to want customization. It is not just fun to experiment, it raises the value of the best gear in the game . There is also the situation: lel I haz Allagan 2 chest, too bad not enough Acc to use it yet. This is a common issue and won't solve itself for a while.

probably. i never understood why materia sockets are restricted to crafted and a few random dungeon sets.

2 Sockets per piece would be so great. However, it is not the only option. They can make the Allagan be whatever way they think is balanced then allow us to swap one secondary stat at will for a reasonable cost. The cost can be the new tomes for all I care.

Since you can't meld main stats, no crafted gear will ever beat something that has a higher ilvl.

Since you can't get i110 gear unless you're in a large elitist FC (at least for a few weeks) or have very very good pugs (and are willing to go with strangers in coil, even if they're "good" strangers - I know I'm not except to fill holes in my static). i100 gear is not so bad its useless. Unlike what you think.

I mean yes, the higher ilv gear will have higher overall dps, by a small margin. But that margin risks being very very small if you compare i100 with i90 pentamelded. With the additional perk of having VIT on accessories (and not on the tome ones, unless a tank).

I prefer 8 VIT to 4 MND. I prefer 16 crit to 16 any other secondary stat. And I don't really care if my 15 MND i100 accessories would be a tiny tiny bit better than my 13 MND 13 VIT accessories i90.

This statement is absolutely not true. I started my group from scratch with no FC. All I did was do AK and any player I liked I would ask them if they were interested in forming a static. A week later I got my own group, FCless. One person I know, who is very famous on my server as he is godmode WHM did Coil using LS. He and his best friend created a LS and just added players from many FCs whom did not have a static to raid together, they clear T5 every week. Yes they are part of an FC atm, but they did start from nothing.
