Wohhooo THX Aeiedil i searched for that stats so long - want to get to 50 now

 

[- Pathfinder -]

Is it just me finding putting 76 dex on a full suit overkill?

 

[Aeiedil]

personally i like my epic armour the +76 dex is maybe high, but i think its justified, so much of a ns depends on dex, ie evade and pierce damage. str is really only used for the mana pool and for part of pierce damage, and gives me some nice weapon resists etc that cold and spirit resist would be wasted on me, atm i have capped cold\spirit\body\matter

 

[old.Niljindil]

I read somewhere evade was based on qui, tho ive heard its based on dex so many times now i cant count.

Have no clue atm... :/

<starts to lurk some info sites>

 

[Tank Init]

evade is based on both quick and dex

but i though 75 was the limit for items so haveing 76 seems a bit stupid unless it all changes in the next patch or sumit, i dunno all i can get max out of items is 75

 

[Aeiedil]

likewise that 27% is resist cap so the 30% on ranger epic is useless

just remember you may well not be using the whole suit all the time

 

[censi]

?? the final portions of the epics arnt availble yet right?? its 1.49?? inniit?

 

[Matinex]

resist cap isnt 27%, i got 31 in spirit, maybe cause im a celt, dunno

 

[Solarius]

nice work aeiedil, esp with finding the link about damage caps

did some tests of my own on a while back, using Rapier of the Forsaken/Bristle Fang vs Carbide guarded rapier/sapphire dirk, got largely the same results with both combos, PA and garrote. Wanted to try with similar DPS weapons, but my weaponcrafting (on my main) isn't high enough to make them yet

still, that post on VN boards pretty much sums up what I've found so far.

As for the epic armour, looks cool but, as my NS is still only 23rd lvl, gonna be a while b4 i can use

 

[Aeiedil]

level 43 and 50 epics come in in 1.49, which is indeed the next patch

from what ive found it seems that the gem (i think from level 43 part) rocks aswell. +3 env and +3 cs, unsure about full stats
