It looks awsome, but the stats are awful. The weapons are good, but the armor and helms are awful.
INT is obviously the stat most important for a sorcerer. The best level 21 legendary helms & armor for sorcerer give 26 INT per item. Yet for this new watch gear, the best is 10 INT per item. That means for a full set you would lose at least 32 INT. I don't know which sorcerer would want that. Yet all the watch gear adds lots of DEX which is pretty useless to a sorcerer. Most sorcerers prefer STR & INT as the two main stats, with the INT being higher.
Now the issue at hand is that if STS changes the stats of the items, it will screw up the market and people will rage since they may have already bought or sold some of these items and if they now get changed people will be angry.
I think the solution is that STS needs to add a couple more varieties of this gear for sorcerer. Maybe an "of security" version and an "of will" version of both the helm & armor, both of which give STR & INT as the main stats, and NOT dex which sorcerer does not need. Just add these into the drop mix, so that chests that get opened after this update will have a possibility of getting those new types.
I also read there are similar issues with the warrior gear as well? I don't understand how they could release gear that costs plat to obtain, is supposed to be very elite, and yet has such awful stats. I think it's only good for rogues so far.
