Adaman Breastplate ;o

[Stooky]

I just came aross it on somepage...

http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/4356

I have never seen it in game, so I do not think it is out yet. But its 65 defense, -10% physical damage taken, +10% magical damage taken, and ice resist -25.
I have not seen it anywhere and well... its rather nice. I am wondering if its out or not... ;o

Re: Adaman Breastplate ;o

Well somepage, ffxiclopedia and mysterytour don't have any information so it's likely that it doesn't drop in the game yet, or drops in some poorly documented area like dreamworld dynamis. The wiki does have this note on the article:

This almighty breastplate used to be available (or so I've heard) in game, but because of it's supreme defense and power, it was taken out of game because it was too powerful. It has been replaced with the Assault Breastplate. There is an npc in Jeuno who still wears this body piece... --Baraddur 16:28, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Supposedly this was the fate of Battle Slops as well. Even if you did see someone wearing it in the game, a Taisai probably dropped it.

How is this any better than a defending ring? Or the Arhat's set? I really don't see why this would be too good for the game.

It's better than the Arhat's set because PLD can wear it... that's how. Let's not forget PLD can't wear Arhat's gear.

I think the above people were saying, "Arhat's gear and defending ring are in the game, why was this armor taken out of the game when it is comparable".

Re: Adaman Breastplate ;o

You seem to have misunderstood, I figured that's what they meant. But compare PLD to other jobs... compare how much -DMG% equip we have... (Not nearly as much)

Obviously they thought letting us have that would overpower us... I guess I didn't use enough words to convey that clearly.

Re: Adaman Breastplate ;o

I can use many words to describe Paladins but "overpowered" isn't one of them.

Re: Adaman Breastplate ;o

-10% off damage and then add on whatever else you can wear as a pally. Switch this in on physical damage mobs and then switch it out when fighting magic users. Sounds like a good deal.

I have no idea how -10% is overpowering. Just do the math.

55 dmg each hit -> 50 dmg

Wow, totally overpowering there.
