pretty awesome just one thing, isn't SoM good anymore? i see many ml10 cloaks around nowadays, guess not worth

Shades of Mist is one of the better solo cloaks yes...
But it has lower utility than the ml10 cloak, so hard to fit in, as i tried hard.
But ml10 cloak will do me good too Silence ftw!

 

[kamorrista]

yep pretty good, wish SoM could be fit more easily, 200 health buffer defensive proc charge is awesome, but silence is ace vs casters!

 

[Yrendan]

Dunno why but its harder for me to cap combat speed without som :C

 

[CorNokZ]

you're gonna solo on a pretty much defenseless melee class with only one heal proc?

Good luck mate

 

[Amphrax]

Its not that hard really

Astral cloak 4% speed
Astral Belt 4% speed

and im sure you get melee speed either of the astral legs or dragonslayer armour

Legs is 2% cast-speed in Hibernia; not melee-speed.

Astral Cloak is 'only' 2% melee-speed for tanks if I recall correctly, so it's a big difference with SoM (5% speed)

edit: If I would go pierce on a BM I would go that for a specific goal and probably not make it MHI. And while the disease-proc is really nice in FG-RvR I would prefer pet-procs which are often a bigger thing (interrupts) then disease.

It all depends on how you want to play too... I could even go 44 Blades, 37 Piercing, 50 CD for offhand disease proc and pet proc main hand if i wanted to. But i want to go for the full DPS and thats why i go MHI to swap between ABS + AF + Leggies

And pierce ----> Chain armors

I have Astral Cloak in stealther (Alb) and on a Warrior which gives +4% speed so therefor should give +4% on hib too Tank or Stealther

Your wrong :/ its +2 melee speed on mid tanks too.
Hibs aswell

Why? Cos too hard to template MHI pierce? I've got a s/s piercemaster I'm lvling atm for soloing, just wondering.
