Gear Swaps?

[Onisake]

Is it beneficial to gear swap like it was in FFXI?

I am thinking of making PLD my main. that being said i've always found it beneficial to have multiple sets of gear. but if gear swaps are possible and feasible it will change the order in which i try to optimize my stats and what gear i choose to meld. (IE: for damage sets i'll try to pick pieces i can use on a DD class as well as PLD. since i'd only be swapping into it right before i execute a high-damage combo. etc.)

If gear swaps are feasible, does anyone know if friendly spells terminate when a gear swap occurs? IE it was common practice to have macros say

/ma "Cure IV" Naomi

Rather than

/ma "Cure IV" <t>

to prevent interruptions to cures because your tank is constantly gear swapping to optimize mitigation and enmity.

Ugh this is one thing I hope they NEVER introduce from XI. Never played XI but the horror stories I've heard about this... no. Keep it in XI.

Thanks! all i needed to know

I hope its implemented , but hopefully no blinking etc, it seems they are making it go this way, we have a wide array of different gear sets available and to maximise ones potential we need gear swaps.. all in all , if they add it I wont bicker and if they don't I wont bicker

either way I am happy :P

Keep gear swaps away, please :P

I don't understand why people don't want gear swap, i love that thing from XI :/.

i don't want my ultra-blinking character at any fart, not an entire inventory just for 1 job

I don't want to play the "Gotta Catch'em All" armor game again.
Although I don't mind keeping afew extra pieces on me for situational swaps for events.
