Been playing for 4 years, and in all that time, I have found that I really don't like having to swap gear, collect gear, buy gear, craft gear, for just 1 effect that's been missing from my build. So, I've decided it's time for me to put my idea out there, & am also requesting suggestions for improvements & refinements.

My criteria was to put as many effects onto a single gearset as possible. While by no means a complete list of what's out there (that's kinda the point of this thread), this is what I've come up with:

+8/1/2/3 stats, false life/vitality/GS hp, archmagi, greensteel 50/100sp, PRR, DR, dodge, ghostly, blurry, resistance, elemental resistance, luck, fortification, striding, spellpower/potency, fear immunity, feather falling, blindness ward, deathblock, true seeing, skills.

So far I've come up with this (all Gianthold items except for the 2 Greensteels):

Helm of the White Dragon (level 25)
-Draconic Resilience (set bonus, +50hp)
-Insightful Constitution +3
-Green Slot (Sapphire of False Life +35)

*nonstacking, only highest bonus applies

Yes, I am aware not all of the effects are top end (10% dodge, +11/3/4 insightful stats, +250sp, +50 false life, etc.).

There are plenty of other abilities & effects out there, & I haven't had a good look at the newest content (shadowfell & newer), but any feedback on how to smush as much as possible into a single gearset would be appreciated.
