Let's talk about the Almirian Crusader set. What do you guys think of it? Underpowered? Overpowered? Personally, I think it's one of my favorite sets, but I really can't use it anywhere useful since it has that fire weakness. For something that's really hard to get, I think it should be a bit more useful. When I compare it to the Snarbolax set I can see that it really is lacking. Sure, it may have a bit more normal defense, but that's really it. They have the same shadow defense. However, Almirian has a weakness to fire and a minor resistance to curse. On the other hand, Snarbolax has both poison and freeze resistance, both outstripping Almirian's only curse resistance. Not to mention the Sword damage increase stuck on it. I don't understand why the set that is supposedly harder to get is so much weaker than the introductory shadow lair set.
I think to fix it, Almirian should have its fire weakness removed or make it a fire resistance. Lore-wise, I know Almire burned to the ground, but it really is too useless otherwise and story elements should be put aside to make armors useful. Besides, Crest of Almire has maximum fire resistance and it's an Almire arsenal piece.
1. Crest of Almire was created separately from the armor set so it should not even be comparable
2. Almirian is part of the colbalt line and all of them have an overall 0 bonus (bonus as in statuses plus weapon bonuses).
