Is it worth it to transmute normal false gods as a dd or should you just bite the bullet and try vet?
Tough question. If you have a lot of crystals, I'd say yes. If you already have infused pieces I wouldn't transmute those to Divines (unless you're absolutely loaded with crystals). Also, it depends on the content you are doing. If you want to start hitting up vMA then I'd say yes, False Gods is really good.
At this point though, you can probably get into a vSS group and get all the Perfected False Gods set. Most people that want it probably already have it.
Also worth noting that literally the only difference between them is a 1 piece magicka bonus, which likely makes less than a 1% difference in your build’s damage output. Try out vet if that’s the content you’re interested in doing. If you just want the set, I wouldn’t worry too much about perfected vs. normal.
Not perfected is almost as good. Keep it and use it. Transmute if needed.
Yeah good point. I think the real reason a lot of people want Perfected Gear is simply because of the name or they are legitimately trying to min/max. I felt the same way about Siroria....once I finally got the Perfected set it was a minimal gain (though I felt really cool having it). I think you're good with normal False Gods, and you'll eventually get the Perfected.
You can use the non perfected until you can get a set of perfected then pass the non perfected to an alt. That's what I've done. My main gets the best gear and my alts get hand me downs if the set is appropriate for them.
