Please stop putting the tank chest piece in the last raid tier

[Illya]

This was annoying in SCoB, where the Heavy High Allagan Coat was in T9.

Then they went and did it again in FCoB, putting the Dreadwyrm Armor of Fending in T13.

What's the point of always making tanks wait until they have cleared the last raid tier before they can get the nice armor? This sucks.

Unrelated Side-Commentary:

The Heavy High Allagan Coat is almost the only tank chest piece in this game which doesn't look absolutely hideous, someone on the FFXIV team really loves huge shoulder pads on the tank armor, the PLD AF and the Ironworks Armor of Fending both reflect the designer's love of the NFL because you look like you're ready for some football with those chest pieces.

Tank body was dropped in Turn 1 in the First Coil of Bahamut

The hardest content in the game should drop the chest and weapon for every job. It should have the best rewards.

The problem is they aren't consistent. Some jobs are lucky and get it early. Which isn't fair.

This is what i have been thinking also, both chest and weapon/shield for all classes should come from last boss and ring for example could come from 2nd turn, rest can be dropped randomly.

Pretty much this. I'd say the "last couple events" if we had 12-15 events.. But since we only have 4.. Yea dead last is what makes sense. But as Lunar says.. They aren't consistent. Same way the sets aren't consistent. If they want to have 2 equal sets of gear they need to each have obvious pros and cons. Instead some classes need almost all of 1 and none of the other. And some could be almost full BiS without ever clearing half the content (minus weapon of course) while others would have 3 pieces of gear.


They make it all so piss easy that it doesn't much matter but it is still annoying.

I like the new crafted chest quite a lot. :V

Its from an Era of MMOs where the size of your shoulder pads didn't determine your DBZ power level.

A time long since past... for Tanks anyway.

Pshh. I love the poetic armor of fending as well as well as the Paladin's AF armor. I feel so bulky and protected. <3

As for why they put the tank chest piece in T9 and T13 I'm not sure. Maybe incentive to tanks to stay with groups all the way to T13?

T13 drop chest or leg for every class.

Tank chest
Ninja chest
Monk pant
drg pant
bard chest
Healer chest
Caster Leg

Imo this tier is way more fair than the previous one for drop in the final turn.

Casters get their chest from T11, I saw 2 players with the Buttwings Mage Cloak standing around in Ceruleum Processing Plant before the servers went down for maintenance.

The tank legs are in T12 incidentally, I'm not seeing the fairness here at all.
