Cristal Tower 2 useless?

[GurrenLagann]

Something tells me the fourth one is the Dragoon or most likely Bard (since it looks fabulous just like CT1 and AF) set..

EDIT: My theory is; 1st one is Tank, 2nd one is Healer, 3rd one is Monk, 4th one is Bard, 5th one is Caster, and 6th one is Dragoon.

Isn't 3rd and 6th basically the same? Share the same sprite?

Oh yeah it does look the same... The gear style fits Dragoon more in my opinion... It can't be Monk's (especially the fact that Yoshi starting to make Monks and Dragoon compete with each other, this might piss off some players if the 3rd and 6th are the Melee DPS set)

The Acheron Tank set looks nice (assuming)

EDIT: Upon closer inspection. The 3rd set's colour looks a little different than the 6th..

Just like CT1, it is for building your alternative class gear. Your main class build should belong to coil anyway, actually many already max.

I think it's useful because I like the white Scylla-based armor (except maybe that helmet lol, heads on my head... =/) and I'm excited we finally have armor that looks elegant and battle-ready at the same time. (PvP armor not included in that statement. :P) Also, it'll be new and hopefully fun. That's enough to make it useful for me.

New ct gear doesnt look that impressive.. Looks wise that is.

CT1 is a troll heaven. hope CT2 is not going to be the same

[Roris]

Maybe one day they'll come up with original gear designs and enemies instead of more recolors, you'd think they'd have the funds by now to do that but apparently not yet.

Q: What's the drop rate for the unidentified Allagan tomestone, the sands of time, and oil of time?
A: As I mentioned during the previous Letter from the Producer LIVE, they will not all be dropping at the same time. We'll add them gradually as we progress through patches. We're planning to have unidentified Allagan tomestones drop first, and the drop rate will be about 30%. We'll be making adjustments based on the clear rate of the Second Coil of Bahamut and everyone's average item level.

So basically there is no incentive (for your main job) for someone with an animus weapon and fully soldiery equipped to go in the crystal tower until they add the sand of time in the loot table.

......Were you not around in 2.1? They FKED CT completely since day 1. It will always be worthless for anyone who actually raids.

OPs message boils down to.."It's useless for me so it's terrible."

You aren't the only person playing.

Also to answer your question.
A) i100 gear offers possibilities for side grades with better itemization.
B) Glamor
C) Not everyone runs coil so most people can't get the tomestone through any other method.
D) Myth and Soldiery
E) Gil
F) Fun
