The Storm Titan is one of fiercest of creatures in the Spiral, but if you can beat him (or some of the various other Husk bosses), you'll be rewarded with the beautiful level 130+ paradox gear. This most recent gear set has taken over in setups. Here are the stats so that your max level wizard can decide what's right for them.
The Storm Titan & Titan's Trident
At the end of Empyrea part two, the Storm Titan is summoned to destroy the final Paradox Chain, and it's up to us to stop him. (Where are all these other powerful Spiral entities who clearly have a stake in the Spiral's survival, by the way?) To reduce the titan's power, we'll take out his trident! Yes, we're fighting an inanimate object... don't ask me, I didn't write it. The level 130+ Paradox gear is a slight step up from other level 130+ gear dropped in Empyrea and is an alternative dropped form (with the exact same stats) to the level 130+ crafted gear in Empyrea.
Unlike with some special dungeons, you can receive gear for other schools that you cannot equip. Between the Storm Titan and his chest, you can get all of the Paradox gear, but other bosses in the Husk drop some of the gear as well. The Storm Titan drops only robes and wands, but his chest drops everything. Pay attention to where the listed drop locations are!
Gear Appearance
The Paradox Gear set is one of the best-looking sets we've had in awhile. It mimics the appearance of our wizard as the Divine Paradox at the end of Empyrea Part 2. The ring on the back of the outfit glows. The wand is a shield held in one hand and a staff held in the other.

Why They Matter
Over the course of this month, I'll be doing a sort of "Significant Gear Series" that covers the most important sets and items that have defined where wizards farm, how they build their setups, and more. This will be an opportunity to compare stats and discuss structure. We'll cover everything from Waterworks to Darkmoor to some of the more recent sets. In the future, we may go further back.
Not every piece of the Paradox gear sets is a winner, and yet, there are a fair number of wizards using about every piece that they get. The hats and boots have been extremely popular. The robes are not only rarer because they're only dropped by the Trident, but also less common because of their stats. Still, some are used purely for those stats and others become part of a stitched set. The accessories are pretty common. While wands again come only from the Trident, the rest of the items are available from other Husk bosses, which are all much more manageable than the Titan. This has led to an abundance of these accessories.
I have talked at length about how wonderful Empyrea's gear system has been. In particular, the part two system allows you to essentially craft your missing Paradox pieces (minus the beautiful appearance). But for those with the experience and willingness to farm, getting these drops saves them that time. Plus, who isn't going to want one of these gear sets at least for the looks? It has really surprised me how popular this set has been. I can't remember a past end-world set - in Polaris, Mirage, or Empyrea part one - where so many of the dropped items were so popular.
