Maat's Cap: Obsolete Or No?

I have had a long standing goal to obtain a Maat's cap, not simply for the bragging rights, but because that plus seven to every stat seemed to be pretty awesome for a head piece. Since the release of Abyssea and the level cap increases, as well as all the new gear this brought in, I am curious on people's opinions on just how useful Maat's cap may still be compared to all the shiny new stuff that has been released. (The level cap is supposed to go to 99 so even more gear is likely being designed as we speak.)
Still worth the effort or nay? I have ADHD and do bounce between jobs a lot myself, so it's one piece that is at least semi-useful all-around for someone like me. Seems like a lot of work to obtain if in the end it's only really useful for the teleport...

they will prob let you magian it before long.

Pretty sick for Hexa Strike still! STR DEX MND!

i would fulltime it if i could

Yeah it's still worth it, i'm slowly working on it as a goal but ... yeah ... slowly lol, almost halfway there >.>

Teleporting to Ru Lude Gardens once a day is PRO! Seriously lol.

Hmmmm.... well, I have 9/15 jobs leveled (still need to actually do the fight on rng, blm, war, and thf out of those... keep forgetting... which is sad because I actually have tests for some of those.) I have the rest of the Maat jobs leveled to 31+ but that's still a lot of... well.... probably leeching Abyssea because Titan is kinda dead normal exp pt wise ><
Anyways, thanks for the input and ooooooooshiny....
<_< guess I should finish that 2000 word essay...

Its Obsoleted for most job. For jobs on Twilight Helm its 100% obsolete, For jobs not on Twilights helm, its still a Macro piece for a Few of them, not many.

Its best use is probably a WS headpiece for Mage jobs, or Dancing Edge (lol?) for THF, etc. Things with Multiple Mods its still a pretty even balance.

But for the most part, Its pretty obsolete if you have good gear for your jobs, not entirely obsolete, But for the majority it is.

Maybe they'll let us Magian it one day, but Very doubtful... We'll probably get the Synergy Augment BS if anything.

Tl;Dr Obsolete for most jobs now, Not all.

I'd like to see the following.

Might be a tad bit over powered lol. But if it was some serious grinding trials wise it might be worth it. Maybe add new maat fight's for this purpose.

It's still awesome for unstacked Dancing Edge on Dancer. I may seriously level jobs for it.

Maat's cap will always be a coveted head piece. It's a signature, if nothing else.

Meh, for most jobs there is something that beats it.

I'd use it to ws for most jobs that don't get twilight.

Yea? Personally, I only use dancing edge if I am self SCing (well... or opening for others. Seems to be a dead art these days though.) In Abyssea, RR etc makes for pretty nice evisceration. Main reason I use DE on dnc is because if I happen to be /sam, sekkanoki, evisceration, DE, reverse flourish, evisceration = darkness. (I'm still working on climbing nyzul and thus do not yet have my mythic ws for dnc yet...)
Assuming I don't have every AF3+2 head, or the twilight armor (because I don't have twilight helm or mail or cloak yet...) what all is it still pretty good for WS wise? Still decent for nukes/enfeebs etc on mage jobs?

... I got sidetracked again didn't I? /facepaw...

Alot of jobs af3 hats aren't that good for ws anyways.

Most are just TP hats, though WAR got really lucky. RNG seems okay I guess but there are better options out there I think. I use my Anwig for some reason still.

I didn't mention it for Evisceration because of Aias Bonnet, Which is nice for that.

STR+8 DEX+8 Acc+5, better than Maat's for Evis :(

Best warp item untill NPC go to nations.
Then it's the best trial warping item

A bit tad overpowered you say?

That's black effing belt in the freaking head piece yo.
*edit*
Black Belt AND hauby.

*edit 2*
Black Belt AND Hauby AND a lot of other stuff.
No way SE's ever going to pull that off. Tone it down to status wise, and maybe just maybe they'll do it.

Maat's Cap: Dispences Ridill/Kracken Club

o.O

Well yeah but maats still almost as good. And not everyone has aias. And aeolian!

I need to get aias though :(. For like 3 jobs lol

Lol, but its easier to get an Aias :P.

Well maybe not now.

Also, I made a post earlier saying it was good for some jobs, macro and all, That post you quoted was just an Addendum :3

Why Ridill? You can't npc it

Without ATK, Haste, PDT and stuff, I can see it happening yeah~
And in the scneario proposed by you, maybe the trials wouldn't even be THAT hard to do ~

Dunno, could be tough it sucks that anyone can get a Maat's cap now. So why not make them work for the super hat D:
Trial 1
"Defeat Maat 10 times on each job at a level cap of 65" for the first trial.
Trial 2
"Obtain 10 Glavoid Shells/10 Chloris Buds/10 Fistule Discharges/10 Something-Something Etc"

Seems like something S/E would do especially since the way they initially had Relic Trials.

Oh god please no :( trials to do Trials would be evil.

I think if anything having it +14 (double) to all stats at 99 wouldn't be too broken. It would once again be the best head for its Situations (maybe not nuking/etc for some jobs like it used to be, for RDM(?) I dont remember).

But going from +7 at 75, to +14 at 99 Could be doable, But I really don't mind if it stays obsoleted, The joy from Maat's cap in my eyes was leveling the job, seeing the game through all aspects (I leveled most of them in MMM before Abyssea came out =x).

I'm sure SE will probably make it Augmentable through Synergy like our 75 Junk, But We probably can't hope for anything more than that >.>; They made Exping so easy i think they pretty much said "Eh, *** it"
