Artifact Sets for the Asgard Divide - WTF!?!

Someone in the know please tell me that Plarium is flexing their underdeveloped sense of humor again (like when they did that 1000 green shard event), and that the garbage gearsets they annouced for the Asgard Divide is a practical joke.  No one uses those gearsets, and Plarium knows it.  Putting those sets in brand new content that is "one of our biggest in-game events" is an insult. 

(Who knew that 8/19 jokes were even a thing, but I am holding out hope that they are for someone at Plarium....)

Yeaaaaaaaaah seen this one a few times today. I think it could've been a nice place to sneak in some IG/FK sets but just garbage sets with the only (formerly) good one being severely power crept.

make those dungeons relevent again by buffing those sets!

Hmm, I was looking forward to the new dungeon and also curious about  Odin as an opponent. 

Now...I am very disappointed as I do not see the rewards being even remotely intresting. Pinpoint? Sure...but having to waste already 85% of the energy for the other instant-sell-sets and than hiking over the blue-item-tax and 5*-toll, afterwards climbing the good-stats-hill and finally crossing the good-rolls-line...nah...I somehow lost interest in spending 5000 Energy for perhaps 1 mediocre artefact I keep.

And then having it roll bad.

About 70% of the sets need a buff to be viable at all.

I really wish they would put in an order of priority with debuffs and buffs so that if a boss has the max amount of debuffs certain better ones would overwrite another debuff.

My thoughts exaclty.  I hope they prove me wrong with other great rewards, but otherwise, I may let them keep their "one of our biggest in-game events" to themselves.

Adding to the drop table and rewards you guys are seeing, it looks to be a pretty darn hard dungeon. The stats on the champs on the high levels are way stronger than Soulcross on Hard Sintranos.

I don't know if that's gonna change people's math on doing this, but it's certainly going to be exceedingly hard.

I am working my way through the new dungeon, just started level 29

So far it seems pretty straightforward, just painfully slow runs with my random team- the rewards thus far mean i will run it once and never run it again to be honest

The biggest problem that I have with the new dungeon is, for the love of god do something about how long it takes to fight hydra! Ok that has nothing to do with the new dungeon. Still....

Speaking of time taken for questionable rewards

This hardly inspires me to work on the new content... not worth the energy or time


edit, looks like double gnut and yumeko is the way to go :)

This is why I have  not run the dungeon and will NOT run the dungeon until  I see at min a X2 drop rate  on PinPoint gear drops

I feel like I'm missing something here - is the new dungeon only there for the *very* small chance of getting a useful item?

I think its  there to entise players  like  me sitting on 100K energy to burn thru it......I pass at current  odds of getting PinPoint set gear.....care less  about  all the other rng sets   MEH

The set bonus doesn't even seem that great? The Intercept stacks are clearly the selling point, but they only show up at 4 pieces - so if you were to compare 4-piece Intercept with two Perception sets, you're trading +40 ACC for one Intercept stack. Is that useful? I'm trying to think of whether I'd even use it on anyone in arena - four pieces is a LOT to commit. And outside of arena it's entirely useless.

In fact, ironically, I'd actually want two 2-piece bonuses for +40 ACC and +20% SPD, instead of the actual 4-piece bonus.

Do you think it is aimed at arena? i thought hydra maybe?

I have a double gnut/seer/yumeko team now so i am down to 20 seconds, but i am not sure about the set bonus at all

I guess any set bonus on accessories is a good thing?

Maybe a really well designed Go 2nd team with UKD or someone like that? I am thinking your traditional UDK/WK teamup. Right now those are easy for me to defeat because I can sheep UDK and then kill WK with Fenax. 

If they put an ignore defense on that set somewhere it would be scary.

The Intercept stacks are only relevant at the start of the fight. They don't refresh themselves. So ... for Hydra it's just a crippled Speed/Perception.

I'll give you though that the accessories have value, of course. But that's about it.
