Final Fantasy XI Then...

[C']

We really need to now what the R/E tags on these new pieces (such as new rings) are.

[C']

And it's difficult not to feel that S-E is sucking of certain jobs whilst simultaneously pissing on others when one set get these:

Nocturnus Mail
DEF:49 STR+10 DEX+10 VIT+10
Accuracy+12 "Triple Attack"+1%
Occasionally absorbs magic damage
taken
Lv 75 WAR, PLD, DRK, BST, SAM, DRG


Nocturnus Helm
DEF:24 STR+6 DEX+6 AGI+6 Attack+8
"Double Attack"+2%
Occasionally absorbs physical damage
taken
Lv. 75 WAR, PLD, DRK, BST, SAM, DRG

Whilst the remaining jobs gets:

Acubens Helm
DEF:28 Accuracy-10 ≺Element: Thunder≻-15 ≺Element: Water≻+15
Haste+6%
Lv 75 MNK, THF, BST, RNG, NIN, BLU, COR, PUP, DNC

Hey PLD and 2handed weapon users, we've been incredibly kind to you guys over the last couple of years with equipment additions and job updates, but we don't feel it's been enough so here, have one of the most amazingly awesome pieces of gear we've ever created.

You other guys? LOL, you're still playing those jobs? Not taken the hint yet? Look I know we've tossed a few marginal job updates recently but that was just because our programmers were bored and couldn't think of any other ways to make SAM any more powerful or PLD any more invincible. Erm, ok well we can give you something too. Let's see, how about that Haste+6% headpiece we were thinking about. Sounds good right? Still, there may be an itsy bitsy chance that that could be a little overpowered, so we're gonna have to hit with a acc-10 penalty. Sorry.

PS - level PLD or a 2 handed job.

kthx

[Daragon]

That haste headpiece is lol enough without the penalty to acc

Good going as per usual SE!

[C']

Without the ACC penalty it's the best TP piece in the game.

[C']

Heh, something that may actually be good for NIN. I'm shocked:

DEF:15 STR+4 Accuracy+3
"Double Attack"+2% "Slow"+4%

[Daragon]

Without the ACC penalty it's the best TP piece in the game.

Doesn't the turban have +5 haste? I'd rather have that and the bonuses to hp and mp.

[Rep]

HP and MP are pretty useless to TP in no? I'm not even sure why anyone would need the MP bonus on it.

[C']

Rep is correct. HP and MP are useless then it comes to TPing for a DD role. An extra Haste would always be preferable.

[Tsingtao]

Not always true Kraken DRKs love HP, I often loan out bg lumps of my PLD HP build for that. Haste stacks nicely on it as well

Situational but hey its a use!

[Daragon]

Never the less - woah woah!

[C']

OK, there is one situation where HP on the Haste piece is beneficial. I concede that. Although it's irrelevant anyway as DRK isn't on the piece of gear we're discussing.

[Daragon]

Still, compared to the 2hander equip, it's still lol even without the acc penalty as it's only a minor improvement to a skill, where as the other equips are major boosts without a penalty.

as monk i can see it uses if you don't have certain gear, i can already reach cap using just Blackbelt, Turban, Byakko and Usu Feet, so the main reason for using hat head would be to juggle around equipment, picking Usu Legs for extra attack, and gain 1%haste, tp store and 28:def onthe head... plus - acc can always be gotten around with sushi.

[Tsingtao]

Check Version is up...

Those jobs listed are in most cases uses sushi or Marinara Pizza already.

There are no slots that I can think of where it would be beneficial to make up the accuracy loss to gain 1% haste.
