*****((Topic should read "Because Speculation is useless, but passes time!"))
I'm bored, and anxious, so I wanna see what people think the stats on our Empyrean armor will be that comes out this update.
Hence, you should limit speculation to Head, Legs, and Feet.
(I have them all listed as level 85, because I speculate that we will obtain some ugly base set in Abyssea that is equippable by LV80, and the final upgrades will have the appearance of our Empyrean Armor at level 85)
Since they're giving it the name Empyrean, I'm assuming (read: hoping) they intend to give AF3 stat boosts similar to other endgame armors, offering large and numerous bonuses to stats, except in this case, job specific ones.
Charis Tiara
LV85 DNC
CHR+4 DEX+4
Accuracy +4 Attack +4
Haste + 5%
Increases critical hit damage.
Charis Tights
LV85 DNC
DEX+5 STR+5
Accuracy + 5 Attack +5
Haste+2%
Sambas: Enhances "Haste" effect. (Under the effect of Sambas, Haste+4%)
Charis Toe Shoes
LV85 DNC
STR+4 CHR+4
Accuracy+4 Attack +4
Haste + 3%
Waltz Potency + 5%
Set total:
STR + 9
DEX + 13
CHR + 8
ACC + 13
ATK + 13
Haste + 10 (12 under sambas)
Waltz Potency + 5%
Improves critical hit damage.
So, speculate away. Be funny if you want :P
