Precisely why I'm not buying TSO, and I've canceled my 6 accounts.

The worst thing about this set is it looks so hideous it won't even be good in the appearance slot, which looking at the stats, is the only place most pieces belong.

The only reason you'd wear this junk is crit mit. For all their faults in RoK itemisation at least they moved from the emperor's new clothes itemisation of KoS/EoF (i.e. items that had higher stats on paper but little actual benefit), to creating items that genuinely improved characters with crits/DA/effects.

But now they've shot back to square one expecting players to raid for a year for loot purely to protect themselves against a contrived game mechanic created to make this shitty gear essential. If they'd just admit they fucked mitigation up in EoF, fucked avoidance up in RoK, and went back to the drawing board and created a logical avoidance and mitigation system that balanced gear appropriately, then they'd be in a much better position than they are right now - layering even more stupid mechanics ontop of a fundamentally broken system.

Quests and heroic instances :/

It would stand to reason void shards would drop from named in raid zones, but that's reason and SoE doesn't seem to understand the word.

How can you do something 23 times and forget one? I hope you're right, but it just doesn't make sense. I can keep track of 24 things on a single post-it note!

eh i don't see it being to bad, use rok bracers gloves for reinforcement bonus, legs helm shoulders bp for 60% crit mit, and i'm sure their will be other ways to boost it to 100%... plus no idea what other plate items theres to be had yet...

and as far as the 4 set being terrible? would you rather have something static? i think its cool their adding more abilities that are outside the box, you wont just randomly be smashing staggering charge anymore...

Ok, so if we're just going for crit mitigation and nothing else really matters than guards should get more of it on their set to make them different than the other fighters but as it stands zerkers and most likely the crusaders get the same amount of critical mitigation on their raid set gear so why be a guardian now? The only way to stand out is with our buffs and they aren't that impressive I mean so we get a little more health than zerkers.........its not a huge overwhelming difference plus with the boost the other fighters are getting with buffs and dps/tanking it makes us look even worse.

look at the assassin set.. Sure not the same crit and shit on it as VP but imo its still kinda nice imo...

victer

mitigation is the same but if that is a static +10% instead of +10% of your gear then that is pretty fucking badass

im sure they just forgot to add focus to your pants and youll get something.

looseing reinforcement bonus might not be so bad with the new snaps and rescue reuse.
