<p>I've seen the screenshots of the proposed changes to the Brig VP set items, and I applaud them.    Like many other brigs, I was very disappointed with my VP items because they were inferior to simple quest items and to T1 and T2 raid drops.  I currently have theVP boots and coif but do not wear either of them because simple quest items (Daredevil Boots, and Coif of the Reet Knight) provide significantly bit better buffs for DPS.  </p><p>But with the new changes to the VP items, I will indeed use them.    As I understand it, the boots will go from +20 regen (useless) to +7 crit (useful, and actually better than quest and T1, T2 raid drops), and the set will now trigger a +7 sec to dispatch buff with 2 rather than 3 items equipped.</p><p>  With the changes, the brig set now seems to yield the same level of melee crit boost as the other class sets -- +14 total.   While the revisions to other sets might now make them superior in aggregate to the revised Brig set (my initial impression), I'm nevertheless so happy that my VP set items will now actually be relevant to the game that I don't mind</p><p>Yay SOE.  Thanks very much for this change.  It is logical and appropriate and actually produces a tangible reward for all the work of reaching VP.   I pray that it this change is implemented on all servers soon.</p>

<p>Yes, IN general the Brig set is great.One thing though.The 6 piece bonus is VERY weak.A recast reduction on our physical mit debuff.IMO its not useful at all.  A) Its nice having Dispatch, Enfeeblement and Rake all on the same timer.  Changing one of them really messes up cycling debuffs.</p><p>B) as a 6 piece in general, thats just REALLY weak of a bonus. lol</p><p>Perhaps consider, instead, halving the recast timer on Double-up instead (to ever 30 seconds).That would be a nice change for sure.  And help increase DPS a bit as well.  (i mean, Swashies get +10 Double Attack with their 6 piece bonus, brigs got a 25% recast reduction on a debuff. lol)</p>
