There is a potential venue to exploit with them making it cheaper to buy skirmish parts with frags.

The ratio gil/frags isnt overly bad, and for low cost/effort multiboxing, eyeballing I can see a potential for medium to decent money

If you're sitting on copper vouchers, you can make like 870k+ per 99,999 obs fragments just buying single t1 parts and selling them to the vendor a few feet away. Problem is you have to buy them one by one and do it like 5000 times and run back and forth (sounds like something a waypoint and script would solve).

I don't know the most efficient way to fill back up your obsidian fragments (trading in cheap skirmish stones?) besides converting them from copper vouchers. Seems like it would hit a limit after a point.

Am I correct if I assume that

is pretty much useless for nuking to all mage jobs with the exception of RDM (en- spells) due to the missing MATT stat?

Doesn't appear at a glance to have any use at all. Probably better to run the sworn head anyway. Even at R0. Neat though.

Lack of MAB takes it out of any future MAB Crit nuke build that may come around 10 years from now

No haste on it either, what do they want us to do with it? swap in for magic WS?
I guess everyone can now post epeen magic dmg screen shots since it's all jobs?

Tbh none of those turbans make much sense. Maybe there is a slight ACC or MACC advantage on some of them for some jobs but for most probably only until they get artifact/relic +4 or empy +3 and they all come with significant drawbacks elsewhere.

If they are intended as a catch up filler then thats fine I guess but I don't think new people with sparks gear are going to have a good time doing besieged lvl 13.

Amin Turban looks fun for Enspell shenanigans, and magic WS. Probably loses out due to being inconsistent but oh well.

I wonder if it works well with en-effect bolts and the like.

Ischkur looks nice for ranged accuracy setup on non-RNG/COR/SAM jobs. Ullr PLD just got a hot new piece, and y'all are blackpilling!
