Leg Armor!

I lol'ed

I hope there are options like Haste+3%+10Attack and Haste+3%+10Accuracy which we can put together :x such double augments would rock lol but i can dream on...

if these legs dont offer movement speed or beat BH in some way they are pretty much gonna be town gear for me lol /sigh

For someone who's been collecting the mage set (mostly WS pieces for my winja), I gotta say I'm glad it finally looks good, lol. It definitely wouldn't match the white redingote or blue selenian cap. But yeah, base stats seem meh. Can't believe they withheld the augments this time. ARGH.

I can't believe they made sets that really don't match lol... yea stats > gears but come on make your set fit a minimum together!

Wow, those are ugly. lol If ya can at least get an additional str+4 on those though... They'll rep my current pants for Sam WS. The only way they'll rep my Byakko's is if they have Haste +6%... We all know that's not happening. :P

I saw the pants coming though. And we'll likely see Haste +5% on them to replace the Byakko's Haidate for anyone that doesn't already have them.

If they do have a 5% haste option then DRK, THF, PLD, BLU, COR, DRG, PUP and DNC will all wet themselves.

And most melee mages (as a lot of mages have used these expansion items as rare/ex melee gear) will also want a pair (unless there is a strong mage option like the 4INT 2MAB hat).

I will go for Haste Legs for COR if that's an option. God, I so hope it is.

I can quote everyone in this topic but Argettio, ummm new forum mysteries!

Yea 5% haste for DRK, THF, PLD, BLU, COR, DRG, PUP and DNC would be just too awesome. I could stop trying to synth dusk gloves+1 to reach the 25% haste lol... even +4% would be enough(for my THF).

Dear everyone thought the third expansion wasnt going to be legs.
I WAS RIGHT AND YOU WERE WRONG! NANANE POO POO

I have the same problem, I can't quote some people (like yourself and Tbest in this thread)



Yes 5 haste legs would change a lot of jobs. Standard DRK and DRG TP build would be 21-23% haste (depending on your belt), which is around a 4% increase in WS frequency (assuming haste and marches), which would seriously strengthen them against the arguably stronger DD jobs (read: SAM and WAR).

How is WAR stronger than DRK? >_> I think your views are skewed on that. DRK is amazing, and I don't even have it 75. I know of a couple that will keep up with my SAM on almost anything, and will beat me a good portion of the time in events such as limbus/dynamis (Not counting DL zergs). 23% haste as a DRK would be scary.

But yeah, SAM is still broken, and I'm loving every minute of it.

I hope these would replace somthing like Hecatomb legs for me, or a nice WS peice. Hopefully they dont beat out homam for drg TP cause I just got them ; ;.


Theres already about a bajillion peices of leg armor for BLM and SCH, but those pants look pretty awesome. Though I have a feeling they will be just an HMP peice.

Aaroca has a dog

Not my view (check my profile, I am leveling DRK right now)

But it is a view that exists, there was a thread about it on BG relatively recently about the state of DD jobs atm, and most people thought (and to a point backed it up with numbers) that SAM and WAR were the best DDs available.

Arguable means arguable...

As long as there's nothing as *** as the ACP final fight (Repeating that damn reentry item mission and a boss fight where only 2-3 jobs are useful) I'll happily do a few fetch quests. AMK handled itself much better. A little more running around for the reentry item, but at least you don't have to drop invis in front of sight-aggro mobs 12 goddamn times.

I said it first doofus.

I was the (or one of the) first person to say it will be pants because it will be flashy.

And guess what we get? FLASHY!

Ugh, the WAR/DRK/SAM/etc. legs are hideous, the light leg armour doesn't look that great either. The only one they really seemed to have put much detail into were the Mage pants, which look terrific.

Those + Yinyang robe for SMN = Win, given the right augments are available.

Goddammit, the light DD pants look motherfucking hideous... Kind of hoping for a Haste +5% option, though I'd be forced to choose between DRG and BLU >.>;

MKD hat is the best WS headpiece available with the correct augments and has other possibilities for best-in-slot item. ACP body did the same for pet jobs and a few other applications. Who's to say this won't be a best-in-slot or at least very competitive? I don't see them beating out Byakko's Haidate, but better than Homam is a possibility.

Also a potential WS piece for my DRG, hmm...

woo for hott girls that play ffxi

btw i hope these legs will be win for dnc cause i just had dynamis beauc the other day and missed a freelot leg drop ;_;

Well so far they have made:
ACP
* The best casting body for PLD
* The best nuking body for SCH
* The best QD body
* The best RNG TP body
* Awesome BST body
* Awesome MNK TP body
* Fast cast for all jobs

MKD
* The best WS hat for any non-N.head job
* Situational WS head for n.head jobs
* Best TP head in the game for any job (5% haste + 2 STR or DEX)
* Best nuking hat in the game (max damage)

(I am sure I have missed some)

So they have been happy to release some items that beat any every other item for a single job (SCH nuking body, PLD casting body) as well as the best item for any job (TP head).

So I can see them releasing 5% haste on the legs, as that would only make them the best legs for 'only' 12/20 jobs. Which compared to previous items actually relatively restrained.

inb4 SE crushing my dreams

but yeah flames and dragons are win no matter what the stats lol

gonna be great atleast for towngear, and im gonna lol @ all the galka's in hotpants =p

will be hard to get good pants for BLM/RDM out of those ;;
i hope for some good aug for BLU and THF since i still dont got any luck on homam pants ><

You missed Pet:Acc/Att and perp- for the body

For all the people that cant see them

Still can't see them but I will look later when I get home.

I'll definitely look into some new legs for a few jobs I am leveling and have at 75 already.

Atm I have aurum legs for my war and shura haidate for my mnk, no byakko's yet.

still worthless info until we can see the auguments.

I'll just make it another BST piece like I did with the other two. =/

yea ill end up making something for blm if they can beat errent/mahamut legs
