I'm not seeing how the bracers are "obsolete" when you get a massive accuracy boost out of them. That frees up your ring slots for more STR instead of accuracy, while still getting a good attack boost from the gloves as well (vs really just the +STR from a 2x meld as most crafted gear has minimal base stats).


I wouldn't be so fast to judge store TP. Remember that combat is being changed drastically in ARR, with weaponskill costs being lowered to 100~150 it seems. I imagine they'll also change how store tp works to coincide with this, but if they don't - then that body is going to be 1 of the single most OP items a DRG can wear, especially combined with a Gae Bolg & possibly gloves with a 2~3x Evenflow meld.
