ursoth event new warrior items! need advice!

[manhands]

I'm really enjoying the living spirit armor. It pushed my armor well over 2k and didn't hit my dmg too much.

[SIEGE_]

I paid 3k for the druid set as it was better than my 36 tarlok by a long shot. Standard gems for now, but I see a huge tanking difference from 1600 armor to 2000. I would love to have a bulwark mythic, archon and wild talisman to go with it. Back to saving gold again lol.

[Crowsfoot]

Full geared, I have 2605 armor at the moment. This lessens to around 2550 when I use a mythic helm instead of druid (will likely do this for the +30 DPS).

nice man.
can u give more info like pets and weapons and rings etc etc.

Does the Druid / Spirit set make the Mythic set obselete for tanking?....at level 41.

Heard anything about a mythic armor week or two or three for level 41?

[utpal]

@seige
no. not obsolete. u can use bulwark to cover the armour loss.
with mythics set u get high dmg and HP when gemmed.

with druid, it is cheap and gives high armour and lil bit HP.but no dmg.
good for tanking. u can use magma Claymore to gain some dmg.

I prefer the druid plate of will over mythic (tanking) I dislike the helm.

Bulwark is Gemming at the moment (2 days to bond the third gem .-.) so I cant post a screen shot yet. However, this is my gear:

Lvl 41 Elondrian Bulwark of Will
Lvl 41 Druid helm of Will
Lvl 41 Druid Plate of Will
Lvl 36 Archon Ring of Potency
Lvl 41 Wild Talisman of Will
<+5% armor passive
=2605 armor without a pet.

I hate this event and the gear because it is killing all elites, since the event gear is better than the elite legendaries.

But, with the new event items, I now have a superior set for parking in elites.

With the Druid of Will set for my Rogue, along with a Winterstar Ring and Elondorian Pendant of Security, all HP gemmed, I can peak at over 2.3k armor and 4k hp, which for a Rogue is insane! Granted, this armor peak is with Ironbite (and his AA), plus Veil, but still - more armor than many tanks and 4k hp to boot!

Generally, I prefer the Druid set. It sacrifices a few points in armor for an extra primary stat point and a little bit of HP, both good things.

1) hate parking.

2) hate the event gear more. The big issues with event gear are as follows:

-Both sets are better than magma.
-Both sets drop from locks, a mass opened chest which rarely has end game gear worth over 50k. The event encouraged even more openings of Elocks, so there was an immediate flood on the market.
-The three remaining elite maps people can farm, will now be over farmed; further dropping the value if magma weapons.

with little bear, u will get 2689. that's a huge armour. cool.
u can use druid of potency set to get some dmg and dps since bulwark doesnt.

and I hope u get exceptional gem on it
goodlck

I hate parking as well, but the fact is that many do it (poorly), so better to have someone who knows what their doing actually do the park than someone who doesn't, and fail miserably.

I have the same issues with the event gear. I fail to understand why event items have to be superior to elite legendaries. Bad enough that the magma gear was so mediocre to begin with (armor aside). Now, the event gear trumps the armor of the magma, so what minuscule market existed for magma helm/armor now vanishes, because who in their right mind would purchase elite loot anymore.

Also, because The Wilds is such an easy map, Magma Blades have been over-farmed to near worthlessness. This leaves the Magmatic Totem, Magma Claymore, Wurmtounge Egg and Elite Golden Dragonchests as the only valuable drops. This means that the only maps that will be run will be Caves and Trail. Between the two, Trail will be overfarmed since it is a relatively fast and easy map, so that will pull down the price of the Totem, leaving Caves as the only viable elite map worth running.

Very, very disappointed in the way this season has evolved.

I want to see the impact of the gear 2-3 weeks after the event ends before I go about throwing suggestions for changes. But, I would like to not see a Tarlok 3, gear wise.

I am hoping that STS plans an elite gear stagger, and introduces new helms/armors that focus on stats other than armor.

At least that way, there could be some variety, and a reason to continue running elites.

[Zeus]

Hopefully the item staggering will be released after this event. I mean, where did that go? T_T

It was staggered too much and collapsed. Not enough/strong enough chemical bonds to support the amongulous structure.

New gear? Oh boy, maybe I can reach 3k armor.

They might've pulled a Samsung.

Too soon.










Nah, jk, I bought an M8 xD

As I said, new gear that does not focus on armor. Perhaps focusing on DMG, or something with stellar procs, really anything other than armor. I'd even take armor that enhances speed, or new items for Drakin Teeth.

Anything will do, just as long as it is new and different with Elite Legendary type stats, because the Magma gear has run its course and is now obsolete with the Spirit and Druid gear. It can be amulets or rings, doesn't matter, just anything that keeps people farming elites.

Maybe armor with the same proc as the Wild Talismans. A Tindirin Bow, Tindirin Hammer, or Tindirin Gun would be interesting. A snake pet. A new mythic ring/amulet. Vanities that are only farmable in elites. A crafting recipie that takes an Elite Golden Dragon Chest, Elite Golden Puzzlebox, Elite Golden Warchest, Elite Golden Pirate Chest and an Elite Golden Banded Chest to craft a new elite chest (with new mythic/arcane loot). I mean, there are dozens of things that STS could introduce that will reinvigorate elites and the economy at large. Unfortunately, until something changes, the elite market is dead and so are elite runs as well.

I ran elites with guildies today, and someone looted a Magmatic Totem of Brutality and a Claymore in back-to-back runs (both level 40) and I laughed because combined, it might have been worth 100k, assuming someone actually buys it.
