Lower set Piece

The 3 buffs are a joke... This is the smaller set-piece, like Labs-relic ±

This is not Labs Relic, these are the pieces that drop in Veeshan's Peak, FYI.

Shit, I heard from several people that this set wasn't the end-game one... it sucks then... 12sec rok vs 20sec eof.... wtf...

I do love how they put a shitty lesser recast timer for our shitty new spell (well i think its shitty but YMMV) on our shitty top end set.

thanks!!!

okay yes it is

Am I the only one that thinks all of these sets are named totally retardedly? Like they followed this formula of <Class name> <something stupid that we think the class should be doing>

Swashbucklers recklessly plunder, right? Swashbuckler Reckless Plunder Set! Inquisitors Judge people... Inqisitor's <item> of Judgement!

God, this is hard work, I'm going on break!

Honestly, are people so fucking retarded that you have to put the goddamn class name into the item? Seriously?

I heard they added the word swashbuckler for beta purposes and it is being removed.

And this is NOT the lower tier set, this is the high end. The lower tier is a hybrid rogue set. Oh and heres the graphic for those who are curious.

Well...at least it's red

Helspeth · 11-09-2007, 11:04 PM

Yeah... it's red.. they changed it actually, last week it was white and black but its was so ugly....

Red feathered hat ftw... I guess.. Barrister robe ftw ..

This set is so worthless that it's not even funny, I mean, seriously, did they look at our current set? We'd be much better off with an upgrade to our set in place with nothing else changing but the skills that each of the reductions and bonuses to upgraded on the set. Take a look at this breakdown:

Current set:
3) Reduce recast time of Dashing Swathe by 20 seconds
5) Lung puncture focus: skill reduction increased by 10
7) ranged + 10 double attack +9

Chest piece:
+40 to inspiration
Legs:
+60 to Whirl of Blades

Future set:
3) Inspiration upgrade +65 damage
5) Swathe recast reduced by 12 seconds
7) Sleight of hand immunity reduced by 30 seconds

non-stat additions on each of the pieces across the whole set:
7 double attack, 5 haste, 5 dps, +75 combat art damage, +20 regen and +20 flowing thought.

So in total, we end up with LESS double attack from the set as a whole than we would have 10 levels earlier, 5 more haste and dps (hahahaha?), the +75 to combat art damage is interesting, though all scout classes get it, and tbh, swashbucklers probably benefit less from it than any other scout (after counting my own personal totals, combat arts zw account for like 28% of my dps), and 20 regen and flowing thought (again, hahahaha?)

We get 25 more damage per inspiration (well, isnpiration upgrade) hit, but only after 3 pieces, not 1 :P. Our swathe reduction now forces us to have 5 pieces instead of 3, the REDUCTION IS WORSE THAN THE REDUCTION THAT WE ALREADY GET ON IT (20 seconds down to 12 seconds), and we lose an improvement to what was actually a decent debuff... the irony here too is that I honestly bet that while I haven't seen it, I bet Lung Bleed (what I assume is the upgrade for lung puncture) at M1 is WORSE than an M1 of Lung Puncture with +10 to the debuffs :P Can anyone confirm that?

As for the Sleight of Hand bit on the 7 set, well, my thoughts on that bit of retardation are here:

Edit:

I forgot to add - now no bonus to Whirl of Blades upgrade either.
