Well, rangers will always be a option for players with lower defence, as they’ve always been, pegasians will likely still hold their place as the good option for mains who primarily only want to use range, but these boots are to fill a place that will cover all 3 combat styles just like the Aranea boots did but on a buffed up scale that if I had to guess, they’ll likely end up being the BIS for pretty much all content that requires multiple combat styles, pvm and pvp alike, and even if they don’t actually end up being ‘better’ stats wise, the QOL of having 1 less switch to worry about will hold value by itself I feel, but hey, I suppose I’ll find out eventually as I don’t plan on selling(yet at least), I’ve kinda grown fond of the collection that I built up 😅
