Default Gear Question

Hello well atm i have a small gear problem. currently i use Armguards of Dread (recast 30min), Tanars Dizzying Strap and Kithicor Boots
I also have the Kithicor Shoulders and today i also got the Kithicor Forearms

So the question is should i go with Armguards of Dread, Dizzying Straps and Kithicor Boots for better stats, or move over to the Kithicor Set for the 3-piece Bonus (+2% melee and ranged crit chance).

Without the set Bonus iam at 25% melee crit, and normaly i think i would go for the crit, but with the set i would lose some str. And my str isnt even best atm. (556 with god pet)

I would go for the set bonus. The recast time on the arms is way to long. I used to use the arms. The stats on them are awesome but I always forgot to use the effect. I think +melee crit is probably the most important stat for an assassin. Especially if you are using weapons with a high delay. Which most would agree is optimal for proc chances and high dmg crits. In a raid you will most likely get str buffs so the minor loss in str is not that much of a factor.

Personally I'd rather have the STR. 2% crit is nice but the legendary set isn't good enough compared to real raid gear. However if you have enough STR raid-buffed it's an option.

If thats what you have now, I would go for the Kithicor set for now. Then once you get another piece of the Kithicor set, gloves or chestguard then switch in the Armguards of Dread. The constant +2 crit verse the clickie +2 crit is what it really comes down to IMO.

Both wrist pieces IMO are meh, and not very impressive. You'll miss 15 STR but you'll gain +2 crit. Personally that would be my first goal, STR can come from other sources. Plus with the softcap on STR at 490 the missing 15 STR is what??? However I doubt either piece is gonna effect you much whichever way you go.

I agree the Kithicor set isnt all that great but unless you've got the better end game loot, its a good thing to build on.
