most of it is trash.
some of it is meh.
maybe like 5 things out of everything are worthwhile...

[Mahoro]

I can only speak to the SMN + WHM stuff.

All SMN pieces except for the hands and feet are trash. For the MB hands it is rare I get an opportunity to MB on proc/zerg fights. The feet I'm undecided on, because Emp set bonuses are arguably better.

For WHM, the Shellra piece is good. Devotion piece is OK, except nobody really needs MP anymore in FF 2012 with temps coming out of our butts. Maybe Legion will be back to basics, in which cases I will ride the Devotion timer again.

Ignoring the stats on the gear itself, the augments for a few are pretty good.

Angon hands for drg are amazing and should not be skipped. 5/5 angon with gloves brings it from 20% def down to 25%. Thats just awesome.

Empathy buff duration 10-50% is pretty nice.

I 'almost' want to merit strafe if the save TP 5% per merit works like i think it does. 5/5 would mean (i think) that wyvern would ALWAYS keep 25tp after every breath instead of 0. That is basically a straight potency buff to all breaths sicne TP enhances them and makes spirit link stealing half their TP more useful since its not zero-ing out every WS/Cure. But that means giving up empathy/DBreathing merits :S

Thf ones kinda meh accross the board. Ambush enhancement would be nice if you didnt have to full time that meh body piece for the effect.

Pretty much all the 2hour ones are 'useful'. Duration or potency of 2hours are always nice. But its a lot of work for it. /shrug.

dont forget those are PER MERIT upgrades (except the 2h ones obviously)
Also don't forget that SE is revamping most of the cat 2 merits soon also.

That being said, A lot of them are lackluster.

Looking at the relic+2 sets, it's interesting how some pieces seem to get minor boosts while others completely change. The DNC set gets mostly increases, while the DRK set gets a noticeable shift from being a mostly magic enhancing set to being more of a melee set.
