Did anyone go back and look at the SF EM raid gear and compare it to the PQ / faction gear to see if its worth going back to get?

my retired berserker is pretty happy i never muted his full set of SF/T3 offensive & defensive armor. now he won't have to put on that stinky stank pq gear when i pull him out of retirement to run point on my 2nd group, praise jesus.

I don't have PQ gear sitting around to check but SF t3 plate pants are 94 str/sta, 14 weapon skills, 9.4 bonus, 4 cast speed, 3.4 mit increase, 28.7 crit mit, undeniable malice 3. You could compare from there

Before DoV we were goign into the easier raid zones with one group and killing a few of the mobs. The armor/jewelry they drop is what i want to compare to the PQ or faction gear we get easy mode now.

Like an idiot i sold or transmuted almost everything i had.

I just came back to game 1 week ago (left prior to DoV release) I was comparing my old t2/t3 gear to the new stuff and was not looking forward to the PQ gear grind....post GU I'm sitting at 135crit mit. No need for PQ.....going straight to instances / raid. Woot! not a direct comparison, but I hope that helps....IMHO, if you muted your old gear and can bot the old raid zones....I'd do that rather than PQ grind.

also, the biggest diff I see for jewelry is about 10-20pts in stat numbers.....Str 89 vs Str 109, etc...
