Our new set and why I only partially like it

Rhymez · 11-28-2007, 02:01 AM

Well I dont have a single piece yet
but must it be that we need 5 pieces from this set to get the Dispatch Enhance ? and im freakin sure every RL in guild will tell you to get that and maybe make exceptions that u get ur Bonus earlier
but the problem will be it leaves us not much room for variety
yes i know we are debuff whores fact i can accept but please dont limit us so much when it comes to choosing Armor having only 2 slots which can be customized sucks imo
wouldbe really nice if we could have the 5set as 3set bonus since there is some really nice gear that would increase our dps a little
and yeah those static effects are kinda cool on it but I found the EoF set at some point better

(3)120fmg to Battery and Assault JAAAACKSHIZZLLLE

(5) 7sec more dispatch UBA

(7) 15 sec less recast on Efeeble WTFDIDTHEITEMDESIGNERFUCKINGTHINK ?

Please please change it and leave me room for some better stuff to equip in other slots

it's fine the 5 should be the 7 brigs got lucky crying will only risk fucking that up

will never wear the 7 set but the 5 is fine. and as ibeo said they prob mixed it up but oh well kinda glad 15 sec off enfeeblement just screws with timers anyway lol

People bitched last expansion that with the full set having the best effect, it didn't allow for switching out small pieces of gear to maximize dps / strats. The 5 being the best effect gives you that flexibility, so stop bitching about it unless you want 7 to be the best solely to be locked into using all 7 damn pieces.

No, 5 gives you a small amount of flexibility. 5 pieces is a must have because of the bonus, but no one knows what contested gear, let alone top end instance gear, will be discovered in the coming months. There could be some very nice armor pieces that we might like and won't be able to use. Hard to say without knowing. It may be that there aren't 3 armor pieces for us we'd rather equip anyway. It doesn't mean we shouldn't think about it. All he is doing is pointing out the possibility of a problem.

I agree that it's a good bonus, the only one worth having really. If your guild will never down a contested, it wouldn't matter which bonus it was assigned to, because that set loot won't likely be replaced.

And 15 sec off Enfeeblement won't screw with timers at all. The effect lasts longer then the cast already, so it's always up. All it will do is let you do slightly more damage by casting it 25% faster then before.

or debuff a second add faster (if multi mob encounter)... i know it hurts my parse a bit, but i double up rake/devit/dispatched when more than one mob to ensure maximum damage is inflicted in the shortest amount of time, with the 5 piece set reward (if and when i get it), that will be SWEET

i do this too... and in instances you'd be surprised how much faster it goes if the tank is pulling 2-1-2-1 mobs at a time (cooldown on debuffs means i cant do it on every pull) and you're doubling up the dispatch/enfeeble onto both mobs in the 2 pulls =p

Gesari · 11-28-2007, 01:18 PM

Works even better in instances if you actually tank them like I do

Lord Pantz · 11-29-2007, 02:11 PM

the stats are all solid. i bitched about 3/5/7 as soon as i saw them in beta.

Sure a contested killing vp farming brig will never wear 7. We are pretty much being forced to wear 5 however to benefit our raid as a whole.

7 should be as good or better than EOF. It being the same as KOS relic pants? Come the fuck on already, what a fucking joke.

EOF bonuses for 3 / 7 bonuses will net you more dps than the rok 3 / 7, and thats just fucked up.

Yeah definitely. I was just focusing straight up simplistic single mob thought there with that post. Many times when I'm DPSing on multiple mobs in place, I'll even throw both backstabs and double it on a second mob after tabbing.

If it's multiple heroic adds, it doesn't matter at all because those adds dissolve.
