"New" VP Set

lost · 03-21-2008, 11:32 PM

Nice change to bracers and 60s reinforcement timer opens up a few more AAs (not that there is much left worth getting), but besides that I'm really not impressed.

The 6 set bonus isn't worth dropping both the wrathbringer helm/shoulders, and the 4 set bonus is pretty laughable.

Gloves could use sta so they give more hp than the venom laced ones from t1.

well... at least they got rid of the regen and shit...

but the 6 bonus is a joke... no thanks. its all pretty much mediocre at best

WTF? LOL They added +2 str , or +2 agi to each piece. Bracers and BP got a nice little change.

The focus effect on the bp, Return to Combat, is dissapointing especially considering SoE did essentially the same thing with the EoF fabled set bp. I think the updated version of Ring of Scale Enforcer's Breastplate owns it

I'm very disappointed in the set bonuses. I need 21s to camp my Reinforcement recast. I don't need more AA's in the guardian tree. The 4 and 6 set are laughable at best.

I'll continue wearing my +5block helm(T8), BP(T7), and stoneskin boots(T7). Until we find something fancy out of Shard of hate, or off the avatars (Not the new stoneskin boots, they are trash).

The only piece there that i'm appeased with is the wrist. Even then, where's our +parry%, +riposte&, +block% on your FINAL set, not our beginners set. Why would our final set be our dps gear, and the first set we get our tanking gear?

Disappointed is all i can really say.

Guardian VP set

add your concerns, lets try and get it looked into. cause its honestly dumb that the wrathbringer crap is better than the vp set.

6 set should be something like Enhance: Recapture, and make it so it works as a position change for the caster as well. Seriously, bonus to Infraction is nice and all, but hardly worthy of 6 set bonus.

If they don't want to give us more defense, they could at least put the same effects on Wrathbringer on the Guardian set. Don't want us stacking more block? Put 5 block on the helm. Don't want us stacking parry? Put 3 parry on the shoulder. Then add a little offensive portion to each piece. Say 5 Block/50 CA damage, and 3 Parry/5 DPS.

C'mon guys, this isn't going to get changed unless we yell about it.

Our class isn't exactly underpowered, but that doesn't mean we should settle for a half ass, unfocused set that most of us won't use more than a few pieces of.

EoF-Set had two boni increasing our survivability and one increasing our hate.
RoK-Set has 3 boni increasing our hate..at least one should have something to do with survivability.

Change the 4 set bonus to +3 uncontested parry or something like that.

Why would we need even more survivability than we have atm? sure the fucking armor isent perfect but 60sec recast on Reinforcement is fucking uber!
