What the hell was the point of releasing Mirce Wardecors WSD body to just turn around and make Olorun Harness?

Hasn't that always been the case? everything loads super slow when you have a ton of wardrobes on zoning, vs zoning on a new char and everything loads instantly.
Unless they are talking about some new additional poor performance like fps drops or what not.

crossing fingers on the lag.
Kind of curious how the set bonus "decreases enmity" is going to work.
Prob just -enmity that is counted twards cap.
Honestly just a quick glance it doesn't seem terrible for what they want the gear to be for, expected worse.

Still, I'm up for an 80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80 race with my old hardware. Will there be a scoreboard for 80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80 times?

No accessories.
Inquartata feet...?
Barely any decent magic evasion on it compared to modern standards
Ruwa set has -31% DT
It's basically unity gear with -DT.

All resistances + on legs is mildly interesting ?
Looks like mostly decent bridge gear
Inquartata feet could have some very niche use for jobs without Turms like NIN.

They moved the start of Vana'Bout to be on Japanese midnight. I guess folks won't have to stay up late anymore.
Thank the lord. I've missed every Vana'Bout title in the last 2 years because I always forgot to log in before work to get the first set of objectives.

It's just more catch-up gear; nothing to be excited about. Although the stats are pretty respectable for the effort I'm sure it'll take to get them. S-E is handing newer players pretty decent stuff. Only downside is it'll encourage even more people to bot limbus now that their 6 box mule set will have a higher base line. Ahhh well, I guess that's an inevitability anyway. At least it's something to keep a few people engaged.
More sets of gear where all the pieces of the set have the same stats except the singular last stat is something different. Also trying to get you to use multiple or all pieces of the set despite that due to set bonuses.
Of course, the only pet stats are accuracy, as usual.
Feels all the recent gear is being designed by the same person, and I don't like this style/trend. The Limbus armors were the same way.

The only thing that matters for gap gear is MEVA and DT and these new pieces are severely lacking MEVA
The augments better add +100 and it better not take 50 kills to do it.

It's not meant for end game use so what's it even matter? It's stepping stone gear to help newbies or people who skipped on oddy entirely have a slightly better footing if they want to do more recent content. Can't say that's a bad thing. It just doesn't help most of the people on the forms here is all. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people who appreciate it.
