Is it just me or could Raid Roach be a bit better?

[GELLIO77]

Well i compared raid roach to void and sentinel and both void and sentinel were better then raid roach when it came to regen, do you think the devs should've made raid roach with regen and more dodge? can anyone give me a reason why they didnt add those stats?

[Ellyidol]

That's why Sewer King is there.

Devs want to sway away from the ultimate almighty set, so they separated them to different sets.

One for regen, one for pure damage, and probably for more soon.

Sewer king has a very good health and mana regen as Elly stated and Raid Roach has damage and crit. Raid roach hits super hard but you also get hit as hard as you hit so you need to be very careful with RR set. I am using RR recurve set on my bird and it owns but I use about 400 health pots and 300 mana pots per day.

ok thanks for the replies

EDIT: why dont they have a sewer set then?

Sewer set bonuses will most probably be added in the imminent release of the next update.

And as echelong already stated RR is the dmg monster in the game, if you are prepared to use health and mana pots. I can also attest that I use about a 1000 pots (health+mana) when hitting it hard for a whole day. I played with sewer king too, and it's the nicest 'set' in therms of balance IMO. Personally RR is by far my personal favorite because of the high dmg combined with the ungodly crit, and I'm prepared to use any amount of pots needed to not give up this advantage.

RR is tough, I find myself using different loadouts as the circumstances need. 5 dodge doesn't cut it in south central balefort. Lol

So wats the main difference in between rr and the new customised? As far as i could tell it was same armor, custom had some h/s, and rr i believe had the upper hand in dmg. Is the custom set really worth the trade for rr? I see alot of ppl askin for custom pieces since update.

Yes, it's worth it. They added 5% crit as set bonus (along with some other stat changes. Physiologic posted a thread about this earlier).
I'll take an ungodly 48% crit (50% with ring) and survivability similar to sewer king any time of the day. Who needs m/s in pve anyway?

Edit: physiologic beat me to the punch.

You can always craft it into a customized set later. If you can find the recipes that is.
