Best Endgame Gear - Evoker & Melee

[balancetraveller]

Planning to start an FvS soon, but haven't decided on going melee or evoker yet, so would rather like to see both being laid out. What's the current best gears for both types of FvS? Totally fine if the gear setups are meant for ultimate endgame builds (ie. completionists). Thanks! :D

Sirgog's soul survivor thread has the ultimate-uber-leetzors gear setup for the melee soul. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=268346

Impaqts' Evoker build gear listing. http://my.ddo.com/character/thelanis/roba/

I am sure this will have changed some based on the new content.

The "Ultimate gear" doesn't really exist. I have both FvS styles : one WF melee and one human evoker (currently wizard but that's just spell pen, 5th and 8th lives are the evoker lives), and neither of them has a static gear. Many items are constantly swapped in and out...

Oh, and "ultimate" is very subjective, even if my gearing seems pretty decent to me, some people may like having more greensteels (I hate shroud, only got 20 completions on one char since I started playing), more melee-oriented items on the melee FvS, less abishai set etc...

Anyway, that's what I'm using regularly/sometimes use (or just for clicky).

i agree with zephyr for melee fvs gear... i have everything expect the sos scroll (and what a good time to look for it with the bug.. :( ) and it is great !!!! i would add the epic mroranon belt also for belt gear with gfl slotted

In case I am gonna be a fleshie... I just swap in a red dragon armor? Or is there any caveat?

For a fleshy, I'd go epic marilith chain instead, and litany as trinket.
Fleshshaper's brigadine displace slotted replaces the fleshshaper's docent, but there's unfortunaly nothing as good as the docent of quickening for fleshies (I use that docent a lot when soloing, weaker but permanent haste basically).

Equipment theorycrafting is always a favorite hobby of mine. As new content comes out and new items show up, I find ones with stuff I might like, and add them to my slot list. Then I play around with different configurations, and comparing that against my master list of desirable item bonuses. This is purely a list of permanently worn items. It would not include desirable swap items like the Bauble, Eardweller, Royal Guard Mask, etc.

Mot a complete layout, but here's some divine offensive caster gear, some of which hasn't been mentioned, and other of which deserves repeating:

Head: eMroranon
Trinket: Litany
Armor: eDiabolist
Weapon1: Alchemical whateverT1/MartialWaterT2/MysticalEarthT3
Weapon2: Swap between GrNecroFocus, GrEnchantFocus, SuperiorRadianceLore, SupLacerationLore, etc.
Goggles: eTimeSensing

As a divine offensive caster, for trash mobs I want to max my DCs, which means maxxing Wisdom, and fitting in appropriate Greater Focus items. In DPS situations (boss fights), the best +damage and Lore I can get. If you don't have Superior Lore on an Alchemical, Greater Arcane Lore can be slotted in lots of places, and turned into Major Arcane Lore by pairing with the Archmage set.
