I know lots of people that would go with green sets over purple one, but this was when the purple ones were actually rare. in slouch, the green set for and engi would boot your intelligence about 20 points compared to the purples I believe, and 20 int gave a huge increase to damage and other stats. idk what greens do now, haven't looked into it much

It's all a matter of preference and if you prefer extra hp/damage/base skill stats over the skills like dodge and crit and stuff. The greens offer more basic class specific skills while the epics offer the 'custom' skills.

Lol kind of what i was thinking but hey at least we get a few creds for getting rid of. Found a mix of green and epics can help.. but what i was really hoping for is some very rare pink armor to go with legendary weapons and shields :)

For all we know there /is/ pink armor... but it has such absurdly low drop rates nobody's seen any.

No Epic shields, no Legendary anything, no warfather. Even if the legendary was bypassed for vanity instead, and epic shields were forgotten, no warfather with plenty of volaria references to him I think would indicate there is more to come in volaria. Heck, there is 8 boxes for game selection and 5 used as usual, but the 3 transporter circles on the command deck have to be there for a reason, right?
I may be wrong,,,, its happened before :)

I am sure plans for expansion on the way, it does take time to develop and implementing a piece at a time keeps you interested in whats to come. For using mixed armor i know some do not care for look but vanities can help cover some of it up. As far as economy wise i feel greens help to get us to the next epic level just wished there was a little more seperation in stats... And it is hard when an epic armor becomes cheaper in auction than commons or uncommons so to make custom is almost not worth the creds as there is not that much of a difference even with full set bonus.

I've personally opted some greens over some purples throughout the last there campaigns for a small stat boost, usually for an extra Hit or Crit.

Buddy at lower levels you find Orange drops better than Greens and Plat ;)

Like Kally kind of said, if you prefer that extra HP and MP boost then you are always better off with the highest gear (discluding Set bonuses/Custom). And tho the stat does not your main attribute will raise your stats a little higher than shown. If you prefer just one main stat like myslef on my main as much Dodge as possible (willing to take the sacrifice of other stats) then you just pick that one piece from the set. :)

My Twinks have Pink/Green/Plat and I still prefer some Orange for Max DPS on my Op over them. Though I get asked 'why?' all the time..

I've known for years that the Packers are better than the Vikings! (Pack 15-1, Vikes 3-13)

What? Wasn't that the question?!? (Yes, this was a *real* troll job, but I do hope the comic contribution made it worthwhile!! I keep gettin' lucky. lol)

I noticed this at level 30 and now I have both green and epic sets at 30, 35, and 40. I create a load out for each and switch them mid run depending on circumstances such as party make up and mob difficulty. I made a level 30 custom set for the bonus but it stopped being worth it for me due to cost but my engineer still uses that for mana regen from time to time.
