Not really anymore unless your guild doesn't run MMIS or Throne Room.

The ring isn't bad, so yeah use it if you don't have anything better. 2 STR rings is a waste.

Eventhough I am pretty sure I know the answer already, then I'd still like to hear it from the poster...

Howcome items like Quicksleeves of Ik and Sokokar Blood Bangle have made it all the way up to their respectable positions in the loot thread?

And if possible... could you give a detailed answer to why you now value items with DA higher than items with Melee Crit?

Look here at the interesting discussion about melee crit and double attack http://www.eq2flames.com/dirges/1934...le-attack.html

When your epic procs, double attack rapes the shit out of melee crit.

Ta Kall... thats what I thought... were just looking for clarification.

Am I wrong for leaning toward blowing off the 5 piece set bonus for extra chime duration? Seems to me that after the Legs, Shoulders and Hands, the other pieces would require too much of a sacrifice to replace except for maybe the bracers. With raidwide Chime its up quite a bit anyway.

No, my opinion is pretty much the same as yours. Even with both Dirges at 3, you should get 41s of it on the first rotation (Dirge #1 swaps in 5 set casts pre pull swaps out) which is usally longer than a mob lasts anyway.

Massive revamp incoming next update. Not going to touch the list until most of the SoH loot has been disco'd (assuming it's cleared on day 1 or 2).

If the stuff stays the same on test, the VP set loot is pretty much the best stuff in every slot, except bracers once they change them on test and BP if you have a robe.
