Im a little dissapointed in the new 150 set. 20% free PDR isnt much in the grand scale of things, and post-unlimited PDR will find less use in 20%, due to the new calculations. Also, due to having less slots, you are less apt to get 20+ w atk on your armor pieces with chaos, like we currently see with top-tier empress gear. The static stats are not much higher than empress gear as well, and they give the same W. atk.
The weapons however aren't too bad, sporting at least 20+ more w atk than their empress equivalent.
Currently, the set bonus and few extra stats this set gives doesn't seem to give any incentive to top-tier empress gear owners to switch over. Though, I can easily see anyone that doesnt sport an entire empress set for the bonus switching to this quickly.
Seems a little underwhelming to me. Maybe they will make them superior, or add more pieces. time will tell though, and im especially interested in those weapons.
edit; Nevermind, just noticed that the set contains Top/Bottom and not overall. this definitely makes it better.
edit2; Also, the sets had their set bonuses updated-
The Root Abyss set effects have been changed. You now gain:
2Set -20 of your main and sub stat as well as 1000 HP and MP
3Set -10% HP and MP and 20 attack/magic attack
4Set -20 attack/magic attack and 40% boss damage
