IMO, the best item from week 3 is the dragonhead archon. I find that using it with seeing red, you're getting panic and a heal that isn't half bad. The burn is a cherry on top, and likely works very well with the burn option in the fire griffin airstrike spell. That stack will work very well . Next is the mirror vordred weapons. I could see people saying these are the best. A very good argument for it. For me, as mostly a caster type, I like the dragonhead weapon better. But for those who like to attack, there's some damage potential and heal potential so it's very good. The armor is odd, though. I don't mind things being crafted with a specific idea in mind, and I don't mind odd things where they don't meet up with generally accepted norms. In fact, I welcome it. SO I'm not too opposed to this design. But it *is* odd. First, I heard that any day now we may see a reversal of the SC lean affecting healing. I'm not opposed to this, as an argument can be made that anyone can use those armors, especially ones like this one where we can lean-swap. I just felt like at baseline that healing should be equal regardless of main stat trained. IF SC lean is viewed as not just a INT related item, then fine let's move with this. However, assuming this goes through, this armor feels like it will be best for FD warriors with the warrior lean on an ele locked 5 hit attack. And then the SC lean is for the barrier and heals while the FD warrior swap it's defense from .8x to 1.25x but gains the barrier and heal stuff being boosted. However, the blind and burn are ...weak as heck. So weak I don't even really seeing the partner weapon even eating it for hardly anything...and the blind/burn doesn't work with spells which is what the SC normally is enhancing. I have heard that there have been calls to alter it. Maybe it's not viewed as worthy of an UR. I would agree. W/O knowing the ideas presented, and assuming there will be changes, I would just wish the effects to work on spellcasts and then maybe be able to toggle for either burn or blind instead of both. The values when split are not worth even causing the damage to drop. The misc is just alright. Not worth an UR. And the guest is bad. Nobody wants to wait for monster HP to be below 50% for *any* effect. And the other weapons are 'meh' Week 2 was probably the best of the 3 weeks IMO. Week 1 next, week 3 last.
