The Shroud is run pretty often every day and every night. Also, once you finally pull that elusive small shard, you're guaranteed to get the item/weapon that you want because you choose how to craft your greensteel. The other raids are run less often and you're not at all likely to pull the raid loot that you want out of any particular raid.
With that in mind, I'm trying to figure out what characters I can play and what I can do with those characters. The first step in this for me is figuring out what is reasonable gear for a generic character of each of a few types.
Here's my list. I'd appreciate any additions or changes that will make a difference in each charcter's objectives.
1) Ranger 18/ Rogue 1/Monk 1
Objectives: AC, self-healing, DPS
Mineral II Holy/ Acid/ Acid Khopesh (already crafted)
Mineral II Holy/ Acid/ Insight +4 AC Khopesh
Goggles +45 HP, +Dex skills (already crafted)
Cloak +150 SP, Concordant Opposition
Bloodstone
Icy Rainments or DT armor with whatever goodies I can pile on.
AC 8 Bracers
Minos Legens
Madstone Boots
Some +15 skill trap items to swap in to a slot
some kind of Belt and Necklace from Amrath quests
NO CHATTERING RING - it just ain't gonna happen.
No ToD rings included in build. If I happen to get a ToD ring, I'll just farm for whichever neck/belt goes with it.
2) Warforged Barbarian 18/ ? 2
Objective: Hit stuff REALLY hard. Try not to be TOO annoying for the healers.
(either Bbn18/Rog2 for Evasion or Bbn18/Bbn2 for the apparent 10% melee boost)
Mineral II Holy/ Acid/ Acid Great Axe
Epic Sword of Shadows (every man must have a dream... :))
Greensteel Cloak +45 HP
Madstone Boots
Docent of Defiance or Docent of Quickening or Quorforged Docent of Battle
Bloodstone
whatever Guard items I can get my hands on
whatever Healing Amp items I can get my hands on
3) Ftr 12/Rgr 6/ [Mnk or Rog] 2
Objectives: AC / DPS
Mineral II Holy/ Acid/ Acid Khopesh
Mineral II Holy/ Acid/ Insight +4 AC Khopesh
+45 HP Mineral II goggles or cloak
Bloodstone
Icy Rainments or DT armor with whatever goodies I can pile on.
AC 8 Bracers
Madstone Boots
Any suggestions on the gear that I have listed would be very much appreciated. I'm not going to say that I'll never have raid gear. I just don't want to count any of it in the prospecitve build because I know that I can't count on a particular piece of raid gear falling into my lap. I'll tack on VoD/Hound/Reaver/ADQ gear at the end to see if any of it makes a significant difference in my DPS calculations.
