(Dengekionline) Preview for patch 3.2.

[Nominous]

Ah looking at the screenshots, also confirmed the Midas floor names:
Fist of the Son
Cuff of the Son
Arm of the Son
Burden of the Son

I thought the Sea Stone Sky stuff was supposed to have mechanics as well, so it tests your ability to do the DPS while also avoiding aoes - but the screenshots don't give that impression.

It gives me that impression. The simple fact that they have trials and raids included (in their savage AND normal capacity) means they'll probably have some light mechanics testing. Nothing that'd kill you, I don't think, but I believe at the end it might tally AoE hits/misperformed mechanics against you. Or at least they'll have specific phase training.

I'm scared to find out what the whm gear will look like for primal...

I love the Caster gear. I can't wait to start putting tomes towards that purchase. Looks so elegant. Weapon looks pretty awesome too. I wonder what ilevel this gear will be.

I find it interesting that they're giving casters an all-white set. I wonder what color the healing gear will be.

After you upgrade it you can dye it whatever color. Personally I'm tired of black although I'm looking forward to see what the healer gear looks like.

That Astrologian set is gorgeous! Can't wait to see the AST primal armour!

I agree and I'm not usually excited for tome gear most of the time.

Yep, it looks like the marketing team gave out the wrong set name when they sent the images out yesterday, which surprises me—though it makes much more sense now that we know they're sharing sets across roles (when we thought, perhaps too hopefully, that each role would have its own primal).

I'm rather disappointed they're sharing so many set designs. We got 5 unique designs for two of the three Tomestone tiers in ARR when the gear was role- and not job-specific, and now it looks like we're going to be getting 4. Philosophy gear had 4 (Tank, DRG, MNK/Ranged, Healer/Caster), but Soldiery (Tank, DRG, MNK/Ranged, Healer, Caster), and Poetics (Tank, DRG/MNK, NIN/Ranged, Healer/Caster) both had 5.

In HW we've only gotten 4 per Tomestone set, though. Law was only 4 (Tank, DRG/MNK/NIN, Ranged/Caster/Healer), and it now seems that it'll be 4 for Lore as well (Tank/MNK, DRG, NIN/Ranged, Healer/Caster). I really hope that's not indicative of a new trend because it makes a glamour enthusiast like me quite sad.

Well, if we'd share the actual sets, it would be great, because it allows gearing up more jobs simultaneously!

But since it's only aesthetic, it's meh.

Darklight: 4 sets (tank, drg, mnk/brd, caster/healer)
Soldiery: 5 sets (tank, drg, mnk/brd, caster, healer)
Poetics: 5 sets (tank, drg/mnk, nin/brd, caster, healer)
LotA: 4 sets (tank, drg/brd, mnk, caster/healer)
ST: 4 sets (tank, drg/mnk, brd, caster/healer)
WoD: 5 sets (tank, drg, mnk/nin, brd, caster/healer)
Coil1: 3 sets (tank, drg/mnk/brd, caster/healer)
Coil2: 4 sets (tank, drg/mnk, brd/caster, healer)
Coil3: Arguably 4 sets but it's so mix and match it looks like more, bard is a sleeved variant of the mnk/nin design (tank, drg, brd/mnk/nin, caster/healer)
Law: 4 sets (tank, drg/mnk/nin, brd/mch, caster/healer)
Void Ark: 4 sets (tank/drg, mnk, nin/brd/mch, caster/healer)

Lore being 4 sets of tank/mnk, drg, nin/brd/mch, caster/healer looks pretty much on par.
