since i cant edit , meant to say raiment , not rainment

They could easily take off the melee crit from that robe and make it have a small amount of base dps and haste and just add a CA damage proc instead

Mind you I am a brawler myself and I like the way the revamp looks with it , but have to be fair. Especially since a lot of the arguement is based on the old Robe of Battle vs New Rainment , with this item being in the middle.

Lift the Class Restriction.
Possibly drop the DPS mod or leave the old DPS mod in ( 5 DPS ).
Bring the Deflection down to 5 deflection.
Cosmetic Change - name the item Robe of Swirling Lava , possibly add a swirling effect to the robe , similair to the Cloak of Flames look.
Make this a rare drop from Druushk.

This would also mean you need to re-up the Resplendant Rainment Effect's to be in line.

The above , i will leave to the people who actually can obtain the rainment and want to put their feedback in.

just my 2cp

Just give it the same proc as the trakanon earring. 25% melee crit for 1.8ppm. Because really it doesn't fucking matter i am already sitting at 60% melee crit in raids BEFORE these combat changes come. I don't think with all the melee crit coming out i will have that hard of a time getting 75%

.

A 25% melee crit chance at 1.8ppm will make it worse then both avatar robes. A haste proc makes it useless for monks. A dps/ +combat art proc makes it pretty much transmute loot.

Good idea. A mob on the first wing of VP should be dropping items with effects identical to Trak!

The Gi needs to be nerfed. Period.

Well except the trak earring is still way fucking better. It has 25% ranged crit, 5 DA and something else. Also that ear is only scout usable whereas this is only brawler usable. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Hey Gungo, put one of those G.I.s on Layaway for Flea please, kthx.

I see it being nerfed though, everyone's trying to keep a brotha down..

Them: WTF you talkin' about Willis, you ain't no tank! Why you think you should be considered a tank?

Me: Ok, I'm a fighter, but I won't try to be a tank anymore.....I'll be DPS!!!

Them: WTF is this brawler doing dps'ing like a rogue? He's a freakin fighter!!!!

Me: Le'sigh.....

Then move the Gi to Trakanon and make no changes to it. Problem solved.

Fact, the Gi is an 8s 1.8/minute proc for 50% melee crit that IS modifiable, whereas the crit vest is a 10s 1.8/minute proc for 50% melee crit and 250 CA that is NOT modifiable. The Gi should not be this good, period. Just toss 5% melee crit on it, and call it a day.

I am all for continuity lets add the non modifiable tag to the gi and the scout ear off trakanon.
Heck like i said change it to a 25% melee crit proc as well.
It still will not make a fuckin difference.
and that should put it perfectly in line with progression.

and 5 melee crit is a joke considering the gi of jarsath has 4 melee crit and 2 dps. As well the set gi has 7 melee crit and a focus and adds a piece to the set. Want to keep it in line and not just another transmute. Give it a constant ~15 melee crit. I would take 15 static crit over ~14 secs of 50% crit every min, especially since i will likey be at 75% melee crit after these changes anyway.
