It seems like all of the deviant sets have their own use, which is a bit of a relief to see. Here's a question to anyone who has the Japanese version, but how difficult is it to get Guard +2 and (insert element/Status) attk +2 on a mixed set? I'm planning on making an elemental/status focused lance set for aerial style (basically maximizing the new triple-hit the lance gets). I found 4U made it a bit of a pain to get the +3 on a mixed set with other good skills, so I'm hoping its easier to make that in this game. If not, then I'll just stick with the Tetsu deviant armor, since it looks like a pretty strong adrenaline lance set.
