What is SOE thinking? re: VP Templar Set

[StaboCA]

Of the 7 total pieces in the VP Templar set there are only 3 pieces that actually have bonuses that are remotely useful.  And I'm not saying that the other items have OK effects and I have better gear already, instead I'm saying that 3 items are totally useless and the 4th is nearly useless.:<p>Hands:         + Melee Crit  (I've obviously missed my true raid calling: DPS)Legs:            + Spell Crit  (ditto)Head:           + Health  (I'm a f'n healer dammit)Shoulders:    + Power Regen (not a proc, but regen - as a raider I have hearts, shards, potions and power regen classes for power)</p><p>Of the three useful pieces two are +heal crit and one is +heal. Those pieces are decent.</p><p>Given that this is a Raiding set, what the hell point is adding +Melee Crit or +Spell Crit on a Templar VP set? Or how about +health regen? The 5 piece set bonus is +15% to Aegolism (group hp buff) so I'd wear it when buffing up and then switch out the lame pieces.  </p>Does Sony not understand the Templar class and it's role in raids? I'm just trying to understand what the heck Sony was thinking when they created this set.

<p>There are tons of set pieces which make no sense what so ever.ie.a defiler piece has 7 Doubleattack... because you know how all those defilers are DPSing machines.</p><p>A brigand piece has +pierce on it when the mythical is slashing.</p><p>etc</p><p>seems like bonuses really were assigned across the board by someone that truely doesn't know what classes actually DO and NEED at all.</p>

The RNG creates gear.

<p>Stop me if I am wrong but dont templars have a 100% melee crit AA line?</p><p>Oh yeah and you want useless, the assassin gloves have +7 DPS mod........we already can buff past the DPS mod soft cap solo.</p>
