New Cursed Gear Discussion

Sadly they still screwed SMN on their set though.

IDK, guess it's probably true for WAR, but for BRD, comparing to my current (previous) TP set:

Body (Ashera Harness): meva+4
Hands (Bunzi's Gloves): meva-39
Legs (Volte Tights): meva+3
Feet (Nyame Sollerets): meva-40

So I guess hands/feet are "a big drop", but the other 2 slots aren't a sacrifice at all, for BRD. Compared to Malignance/Sakpata for WAR or NIN, sure.

At the end of thr day though, you have to balance meva and DPS stats and (IMO), it's not the best idea to select the highest meva slot for all 5 slots at the cost of anything/everything else.

I personally take the approach of "good enough" meva, kinda like a hybrid set. You don't turtle in 5/5 Nyame or Empyrean armor just because it's the safest and you don't want to get slept. OTOH, you don't wear 5/5 Herculean QA pieces with 25 meva each, because you'll never resist any TP move or spell ever.

Final note then: I think the Revelation set EASILY clears the bar for "good enough" meva, and would be suitable for any current endgame content. Sure, if you REALLY want to you can swap out a piece or two for a bit more meva, but I don't think the sacrifices would be worth it or the benefits would be significant.

It kinda depends what you used. More or less like you said.
If you used the old TP set model with Volte Hands, Legs and Feet, then Simon's post is not on point because Revelation, despite its lower avg meva, is still way way better than all three.
But these days who still used those 3 pieces?
I mean legs for sure, because of 9% haste and lack of better options, but I bet most people used different hands (Bunzi?) and feet (Nyame B R25 or 30?)
In which case, his point for Meva stands, but you get better stats in pretty much everything else DPS-related.

Then there's body. Most people probably use Ashera Harness, and the others use uhm, maybe the old Ayanmo+2? Which still provides decent acc, some DT and some DA.
For both of those options Revelation is, again, much better so while Revelation has low Meva etc, it's still better than previous options if you used any of those I mentioned.

If you ask me on BRD TP I'd use Bunzi R25+ for head, then 4/5 Revelation for the rest, with a case for Bunzi Hands which actually might be a better overall option because of the defensive stats despite lower dps stats.

I haven't mathed it out or used the sim btw, just saying what I feel like on a hunch.


Personally I'm really really really interested at least in Revelation Body/Legs/Feet.
It's more a matter of putting other Limbus pieces with higher priority (like Sworn for instance, arguably even Duty and some Clemency tbf).

I don't play WAR but if I did I don't think I would be particularly interested in Revelation.
And for NIN it's uhm... I dunno. Revelation can be nice of course but then again it doesn't really feel like OMG either. Maybe mix&match some pieces.
I dunno how do you guys feel for NIN?

Revelation is great for brd, easily a 3/5 set for brd.

For jobs with access to sakpata, less so, but it's a more dps focused set than sakpata while still having high -DT and meva.

One thing is for sure though. People will use whatever the sim tells them is "bis" for getting tp fastest which is neither ody nor limbus gear.
