Mpaca gear is insanely good and it has the WSD/Automaton level on exactly the right slots to replace Herc gear while still being able to cap Pet: Haste with Heyoka head/legs.

Damn, someone at SE actually seems to know their PUP stuff.

I’ve been playing MNK/THF/COR because malignance is just so good that jobs like DRK and WAR don’t seem as effective so to see this set makes me feel like DRK can be competitive again.

Yeah my volte hands that I was so happy for were just crying.

This new stuff is a grossly good set, and as someone who has grown past the glass cannon max dd stage, I think that almost everything in my hybrid set is just trash now comparatively

Thank god we got these because just running 2x Dyna a week hasn't been kind to me getting Volte hauberk gear. These are going to be my first priority for sure.

New Malignance for WAR and DRK, but also not bad for PLDs who want to hybrid. Loving this. Looking forward to the augments.

For PLD hybrid, it would be ideal for the augments to be HP and STP, maybe? These have DA but no STP, and if you want TP gain to dump off into Atonement for enmity that would be a nice combination IMO.

Really looking forward to the new katana. Sucks its locked behind the lottery now, but SE must have plans to make them available in the future... I believe.. .

On another note, curious what your mainhand / offhand options would be? Fingers crossed it would work in the offhand, but if it doesn't then what?

I remember when they said they regretted creating malignance gear because it was too powerful, and that they originally didn't intend for it to be as good as it is. Now we get this set, and that's before the augments. It's flat out better by a significant margin. Makes you wonder what the heck we're supposed to do with all this power creep.

I would like to direct everyone's attention to the massive amounts of Magic Def. Bonus on all of the new gear. MEVA is still better, of course, but damn if power creep isn't getting out of hand.

If SE ends up hitting us with Empy reforge content that requires this kind of gear to beat comfortably then everyone who hasn't spent the last months/years farming will be very SOL. Unlikely, given their track record, but still a possibility.

I won't have time to think much on the stats until tomorrow, but I'm not so sure. It has magic defense, magic evasion, and regain to compensate for the lack of store tp. And it adds a whole boat load of offensive stats. It's got accuracy, attack, crit rate, and caps physical damage taken. All you'd need is shell V and an additional 20% magic damage taken to hit the cap. A pair of moonlight rings and 10% Mdt on the ambuscade cape does that nicely.

It does want for haste slightly, with only 20% total haste. So you'd have to find an additional 6% somewhere else, but that's really not too tall of an order. They've put significant amounts of haste on a bunch of accessories, including some ammo pieces that I remember exist in the back of my head. I'd have to look at them determine if they'd be worth building a set around. But I'm pretty sure this hands down beats malignance in every way with a proper accessory set to build around it. It's....really really strong, and we don't even know what augments it's gonna have yet. If the augment's have any form of triple attack at all then holy hell is this gonna be busted beyond belief. And that doesn't even account for the potential uses it has in evisceration. Tauret users will be extremely happy with all that crit rate. Some of those pieces are probably best in slot for evisceration as is. I look forward to farming this one.

Edit: and that's only looking at it from a thief's perspective. This set is absolutely ballistic in a terpsi dancer build. And that doesn't even account for the other jobs on the set that I haven't thought about yet.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if the voices of people who finished the Windurst Volte set suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Indeed... Volte Haubert Set from Dyna-D Windy has been Completely Defeated/Wiped by The Sakpata Armor Set...

We had some people buying this gear and the attempts to getting this gear from us too in the recent past.. They spent hundreds of millions on this Volte Set... They are crying harder right now..

How does Gleti compare to Malignance for defensive purposes? It's PDT instead of DT and less MEVA.

The RNG/COR set (Ikenga) isn't getting a ton of love, and for good reason considering we're meleeing more than shooting these days, but 2 things stand out to me in filling needs for the shooting COR-

1. -Enmity. RNG gets tools/weaponry to help with hate issues, but COR as their DPS has gotten better doesn't get that same love. The -Enmity on this set while still being viable midshot pieces is a massive boon for the job.

2. Ranged Attack. Again, RNG gets traits and weapons that make the lack of Ranged Attack on Malignance manageable. COR could use some help to allow them to take advantage of +PDL, and this set fits that niche.

Yes, you'll give up safety, but for pure shooting situations it should improve a COR's safety(due to pulling hate less) plus white damage output.

How does Gleti compare to Malignance for defensive purposes? It's PDT instead of DT and less MEVA.


Defensively it's a bit weaker standalone, but not by a terrible margin. And the fact that it has magic defense means it has the potential to be an even stronger set than malignance. Shell V is worth 29% magic defense so all you'd need is a pair of moonlight rings and magic damage taken on the ambuscade cape to hit 49%, which is only 1% short of cap and is realistically probably "close enough". It also has 35% physical damage reduction, so again throw in the 2 moonlight rings and you're up to 45% which is again probably "close enough". You could push yourself to the full cap easily enough with other adjustments (defending ring, staunch tathlum +1, etc etc). You just have to accessorize correctly for it is all.

We don't even know the augments either, but the regain makes it a flat out better idle set when you aren't engaged. The only question is whether or not the difference in magic evasion would be enough to outright kill you if you go unresisted versus a partial resist on something, but with a still significant amount of magic evasion that tacks on additional magic defense I think it just looks better on paper.

It does for sure seem better offensively.

It's absolutely better offensively. There's no question about it. All that crit rate, stacked with regain, accuracy and attack...and it even retains a ton of physical damage limit. Compared to malignance it's an offensive powerhouse. It's one hell of a hybrid set. And like I said, all it takes is the correct accessories to compensate for the areas it's lacking. I think malignance just got shot down by Gleti just as hard as windurt's volte set got shot down by Sakpata's. This is super power creep. And this is just the base pieces. They'll be even better with max augments. That's crazy!
