TOTAL SET:
SoF / Raid Tier 4 (Crystallos) Set AC: 1190 HP: 6655
SoD / Group Tier 5 (Ordained) Set AC: 940 HP: 5795
Calculated with a metal orb from raidloot.com's armor set feature. That is a hell of a lot of AC to lose in my book, and even a loss of HP overall. The mod2's are different for the SoD gear, and I'm sure some of the focus effects will probably go up to 85, but since its group gear it probably starts off as less of a boost on the focuses anyway.
Plus on the group gear, the chest aug will never function at 100%, so the uber chest aug that you can get in the crystallos gear will be gimped a bit in the group stuff.
