[url=]http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/updates/update-notes/00ISM/v-161-black-heaven-final-chapter-update-notes[/url]
2 items: STR/DEX/INT/LUK +30
3 items: Weapon/Magic ATT +30, Ignore enemy defense +10%
4 items: Max HP/MP +20%, Weapon/Magic DEF +200
5 items: Weapon/Magic ATT +40, Damage to bosses +30%
6 items: Weapon/Magic ATT +50, Ignore enemy defense +10%
Will it outclass cra + tyrant or even match up to it? Where does it stand? Whats the difficulty on obtaining the gear?

@Flamepc: No I'm saying the katara wont be included. It wasnt in kms and their notes stated it. I dont see gms adding it either
The armor is baaaad but the shoulder is 4th tier yet class locked unfortunately, and the weapons have a lot more att then fafnir. The 2 set effect gets changed to 20 att so its something to consider.
[quote=Erag0n1]@Flamepc: No. SW is still the best. The passive 30% boss and 15% pdr is better than 15 or so more attack[/quote]
Please reread the update notes regarding it:
Common stats: Required primary stat: 480 (except for Xenon), Primary and secondary stat +60 (except for the Demon Avenger and Xenon; see below), Damage to bosses +30%, Ignore enemy defense +10%, Accuracy +140, 8 upgrade slots without hammers
5% less PDR is the only difference, but 15 atk > 5% PDR especially if most people have ample PDR from elsewhere.

[quote=lilazninja]I'm looking into the gloves/fan [/quote]
Prolly stick to High Quality Dimension gloves and leave open the chance to get Sweet Water gloves later on. Tyrant gloves are basically useless unless the rest of your gear is as good as you want it to be and you don't want to worry about doing Dojo every week.
Doesn't matter to me since I am poor SW glove looks better, +22 base stats since I've been window shopping @ fm. Anyone want to help and take me on a run on lotus, cra, hard mangus, hellux, and empress? I have haste, show up on time, and don't bs. Just need some help. Thanks.

Absolabs was the set KMS got because they didn't have the Sweet-water set.
Absolabs is korean sweet-water and stronger.
For some reason the GMS Absolute Labs is super weak. Probably because they didnt want to shake prices around.
That katara is the only thing i'm interested in, about to be impossible to snag one. 1 more slot/11 atk more than SW katara, and has 30% boss/10% pdr also.
supposedly hard lotus has... 9.5? 10? TRILLION hp. normal? 2.5 trillion? if nexon dedices to nerf that hp, so more people can farm it, then it would maybe be considered since its the highest potential tier,and its basically a tradeable sweet water gear
It's just slightly worse than what we already have. Nexon specifically said they weren't attempting to change the status quo with new gear yet.
If you're really interested in acquiring them just wait for Nexon to put them in Marvel in June/July.
@Erag0n1: I didn't mean Kataras would be worth something for their set effects. They're just often replaced whenever a new one comes out. Before the best Katara was (I believe) SW or Terminus now it's this. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
[quote=Erag0n1]A) KMS's patch notes and game specifically leaves kataras out of the set effects, I was surprised to see GMS didnt in the notes but I doubt it will be included in game.
B) That doesnt mean people that can kill won't. Itll still sell for profit [/quote]
Other - no set bonus
Absolute Labs Rapid Edge: Katara (Dual Blades only), Speed: Faster, LUK +40, Weapon ATT +97, 8 upgrade slots without hammers
[quote=Flamepc]Overall, it's slightly on par with SW. Stat wise, it's better. Availability, it's worse. Lotus is too hard to kill to efficiently farm equips from. It's also below Fafnir set so i doubt even those who can kill Lotus would bother farming the equips if they're obsolete to begin with.
If anything, the gloves, katara, and shoes might be worth something. Weapon could be but most likely wouldn't be, except Kataras.[/quote]

How comparable is the new set then?
that set effect won't outclass tyrant + cra that for sure
just tyrant alone should beat those excluding weapon
