If you're PLD, DRK, DRG/Mage, the benefits of the +MP don't seem so random and if you're someone who wanted the Latent on an Oneiros Ring or some other MP latent breaker, the MP bonus can help you with fewer MP+ merits.
Don't see how the MP+ is a downside. situational yes, but far from useless. Also the +HP augments don't seem random. They seem to be the standard. Uknown if it will change based on Inventor's Coalition Rank
Tested to be the best-in-slot for Kaiten/Fudo/Shoha in uncapped attack situations.
When attack is capped, Tenryu+1 is better but only by small percentage points, making these pants very desirable for all SAMs to have and much easier to obtain.
WTH is up with the mp bonus? I swear some body over at SE must just stand around and say "Hold on, those are one step away from awesome. Throw something completely pointless and useless on those and let em fly."
