So, I've seen a general trend of everyone going KC or Timeless. Grand Regent looks like good gear for a sponge with a nice set bonus. Why does no-one seem to pick it?

    Grand Regent is a decent set for a PVE GF. It'll work well on a KV-heavy build due to its high defense and decent deflection values. As a PVE tactician I ran it with about 5k defense total (= +1k power from the set bonus) quite a bit in eLLM and eShores.

    I've recently shelved it in favor of Draconic, however. The loss of defense/deflection is compensated by "Steel Aura" bonus (+5% DR to everyone including yourself) and you gain overload slots, which Grand Regent is missing.

    A downside of Draconic is the rather small radius of "Steel Aura". I would probably need a leash to keep some of the zerg-bunnies I party with within 50 feet.

    I'm using Grand Regent on my latest GF (Tactician.) I wouldn't say it is anything special, but I have no complaints.
