lol +8 is meh.
Odin's Blessing is good for two reasons:
1. The SP Reduction Combo for sniper or any other class that can get their de high enough.
2. Tanks/Lures using the full combo for the extra def.
Using it other wise is really just adding a lot of extra weight for no reason.
Also full +7 set (SB, OB, Magnis) is 34 def total. Then let's say you add in some +7 wools and tidals and it then becomes 50 def. We then change the OB to +8..and omg the def is still 50 Dx! It only becomes 51 after you make another piece +8. That isn't too bad but if you already have the +8 magnis or sb or wool or tidal then this 1 more def would be ok I guess. If you have 3 of the pieces +8 it's 2 more def!
.
Summing ^that up, if you don't have +8 gears to backup +8 gears it's pretty useless!
