Having kinda a discussion with some pepps who do not think these pieces are worth it over other jewlery. Was wondering if the set piece proc increases zone wide dps if all 24 peps have it on in FTH and MMIS since that is were most of the Vamps are. Has anyone done any parsing to see if the set pieces do increase dps and if they are worth trading out jewlery from dt,chel, etc. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys. This is also considering most of us are on diminishing returns for stats at least and some think that we would loose to much in the way of hp,str,int.
It's the + 2% to crit on two of the pieces that makes it worth it to some melee classes. And the proc depends on your raid set up too. How many dirges do you raid with that are running Luck of the Dirge? Because that will increase the zonewide. Also they were much more powerfull before when you could bug them and get the set bonus 3 times so it was proccing like mad. But yeah crits > stats
We run almost always with 2 dirges and sometimes we even have 3 so im definetly interested in our increase zone wide with the 3piece set effect proc.
Wait sorry to repost to my own post but LOD only procs spells its the Templar AA that procs items.
2 crit is awesome, but it's on 2 items, adding them together makes 4 crit. In addition to the fact that stats are practically useless... you can adorn them with extra str or int if that's what you need.
For pure casters they are *NOT* as good of a substitute but aren't terrible. Mainly, I wear the wrist and earring when not fighting vampires and throw the vampire ring in when fighting vampires. It's as simple as that.
For one of our brawlers (I only know cause he asked me) the proc (with a templar and dirge in group) added over 240dps to his zone wide dps in Freethinkers Hideout...
These are incredibly powerful items for this expnasion
the set is very nice for melee.
not the greatest for casters
I wanna know why the proc says Inflicts XX damage, "If target is Vampire", but it only works in FTH and MMIS...not on any other Vamps anywhere else? Not vamps in castle, not contested mayong, hell, not even if you go back to Bloodlines adv pack. in the old zones.
