Is AF gear worth it anymore?Follow

Hello,
I am about to ding 70. I have not gotten gear since the Iron musketeer's set, due to book burns and LS leeching in any (did it for the first time last week and felt useless...hated it, anyway, another topic). everyone in my LS says to not worry about af gear, just get to 99 and they will get me gear. I was wondering if i don't want to leech until 99, is af gear good to get for post lv 75 play, until i can get the emp set? I know i'll get different opinions (if more than one person responds), but thats what I want. My opinion is to get the AF set so i'll be able to do something post 75, because there isn't a whole lot of leeching in my LS, but at the same time, if it doesn't even matter then why waste the hours of questing for it all (since my gameplay is limited to about 6-8 hours/week with work and kids getting in the way >.< lol).

Thanks in advance for any opinions, insight, and advice!

Well I solo'd the sword last night, and found some help for the fight on the boots. All in all not too bad. The body, hands, head, and legs look like a total pain, and i'll need some serious help for those. We'll see if i decide to do them or not. I know its not "worth" it, but half the fun is getting new shiny toys every now and then!
