Druids equipment (feedback appreciated)

[HargloweHyfryd]

After a long struggle I finally managed to get to level 50 and with some more help I managed to get my epic armour.

Untill spellcrafting comes along (and even a while after that) people will most likely wear their epic-armour, so all stats derived from that can be called fairly constant.

That leaves the rest of the equipment to max out our stats.

Now I've been wondering what other druids use for equipment.

Here's mine:

Shadow Strike Ring : con/dex/int +7 crush 10%
Shadow Ring : con/dex +9 emp +7 thrust 10%
Eye of Fire : str/con/dex/emp +10
Warshadow Bracer : con/qui +9 cold/matter 10%
Bracer of the Triumvirate : int/emp +4 hits +15 power +2
Noble Overlord Pendant : str/con +9 slash 3%
Accursed Belt of Might : str +10 body/crush/slash 4%
Melancholy Cloak : con +12 crush/slash/thrust 4%

Obsidian Round Shield : str +4 con/dex/qui +6
Oghamist Pickhammer : dex/emp +15 hits +30

This leaves my strength 29 under item-cap and my dex 16.

Does anyone have any suggestions about changing the equipment?

TBH with the stats on your epic armour you might find your Emp is capped so go for other stuff with good resists. Can't recall mine off hand but the lowest resist I have is thrust at 3%

 

[HargloweHyfryd]

The epic armour raises your emp. with 55, so another 20 from items is sufficient.
I currently wear the Bracer of the Triumvirate (for example) not because of the emp-bonus, but because of the hits and power.

My total resists (base+equipment+armour) are:

Body 18
Cold 18
Crush 29
Energy 0
Heat 5
Matter 18
Slash 23
Spirit 8
Thrust 14

I could ditch the Noble Overlord Pendant and the Bracer of the Triumvirate, but what should I get to replace those?

Ok have at last got my resist stats sorted

My total resists (base + armour + equip.)

Crush - 17
Slash - 12
Thrust - 6
Heat - 22
Cold - 21
Matter - 17
Body - 29
Spirit - 25
Energy - 21

My resist items used ....

Infernal Black diamond Necklace
Hits -36
body/energy/thrust - 6

Accursed deamond bracer
Str - 10
Emp - 7
crush - 6

Belt of spryness (quest item)
Dex -6
Matter/spirit/energy - 6

Ring of Mental Fortress
Emp/str - 4
Spirit - 4
Body - 6

Infernal black diamond (gem)
Cold/body - 10
str - 18

I need to increase my thrust resist but need a bracer so Im off to get one from the new faeries

Hope this helps u more

Using epic armour, surprisingly (until I get a a Hauberk of the Wretched from Legion)...

Jewel: Book of Arcane Dealings (need something else really)
Belt: Belt of Resilience (teh best)
Bracers: Infernal Black Diamond Bracer (crap really) and Mischievous Bracer
Rings: Twisted Truesilver Ring and Infernal Black Diamond ring (need to replace one of them with a Glimmerstrike Ring if I ever get the Legion hauberk)
Cloak: Granny's Shawl, gonna get replace with Melancholy Cloak in a bit
Necklace: Avernal Necklace (teh best again, just do the spellcrafting math)

Overcapped slash, most of the magic resists well over 20 with Avoidance of Magic 2... Really need the hauberk to get thrust over 20 and then something to balance the loss of 10% slash from the epic...
