How many sets of gear do you use?

Post by **Pyrizzle** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 3:17 am

I always like to have a second set of gear that i can change into when i need a boost or am having difficulty in an area... My question is: How many gear sets do you use?

Right now i am grinding in the Flagstone Prison and decided to switch from my normal gear into a set that has a high DR so i am using less potions (So i gain money quicker, not eating my profits) but it does take a few seconds longer.

I'm wondering how many sets and what kinds do you use?

BW gear set for mobs with resistance to critical hits

and critical hit gear set with blade of defiler and flagstones pride.

and both of them subject to change after I get ROLS/RoL.

The BW armor and weapon set is fantastic! As a set it does have one of the biggest boosts possible for BC w/ gear alone.

Blackwater Gear:
(Use x2) Blackwater dagger (Attack Cost: 3AP, AC: +40%, AD: 1, BC: +5%)
Blackwater leather Armor (BC: +25%, DR: +1)
Blackwater leather cap (BC: +21%, Max HP: +5)
Blackwater ring of combat (AC: +5%, AD: +0-7) [I don't use these but they are decent)
Shield: N/A
Shoes: N/A
Necklace: N/A (recommend: Jewel of Fallhaven or Marrowtaint)

Blackwater Misery: (Attack Cost: +1AP, AC: -50%, CHS: -50)

Total (w/ the rings): (Attack Cost: 3AP, AC: +40%, AD: +2-16, CHS: -50, BC: +56%)
Ps: These stats are not as impressive until you add in the bonuses from whatever Shoes and Necklace you have.

Happy hunting mirajp1! Hope you get one of them (or even both!!!) soon!

1. I don't bother with this kind of play. It's not worth spending extra gold on additional item sets.

I mostly just swap out DotSP for QSD when facing a crit immune.

On my new build i have a gear set for critical damage and for Damage Reduction.... right now i am grinding the Flagstone Prison so having enough DR (DR = 6) to lower all attacks to 0-3AD helps me to grind faster and consume less items.

I'm only lvl 20 right now, but have a good set up going.

I use a DotSP in the main hand, unless the monster is crit immune, in which case I use a BSS.

I am contemplating also adding one (or maybe even two) Rings of the Protector. Some monsters have very nasty actor effects, in which case getting hit costs much more than just lost HP. I think in such cases taking a loss in damage potential to avoid getting hit so often might pay off.

I don't care to have large chunks of cash... I need supplies so i can find Andor. Have you seen him?

Extra cash in your inventory isn't doing you any good. =) Spend it my friends!!!

I carry a few sets of gear but almost never swap any of it.
