Preferred Slaver’s gear (if any) for heroics

[crudd26]

First, I know that I’m way behind gearwise, but I’m starting to try to remedy that situation. What items from Slaver’s do y’all use to gear in heroics? I’m open to other heroic gearing recommendations as well, but since I’m poor/on a strict allowance from my wife l, I don’t have Ravenloft yet. This is gear I’m planning for my soon-to-begin racial lives, where I’ll be running a pure arti up to 30, then starting all over again. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

the ideal would be to pull the uber rare drop of the slave busts that upgrade loot/crafted materials by 3 mp/rp/sp. They drop in stacks. Then do a whole setup covering all class needs and have 18 mp plus set bonus (20 total) to be in excellent position at level 8.

Well, this is my dream plan and I have not pulled the busts yet. I just started looking though. I have the statuettes but they are comparatively meager.

Ammo

For heroic arti I use:
- Executioner's Helm (sorcery)
- Spinneret (sorcery)
- Slave Lord's Rags (sorcery - these aren't great and were just for the set; ideally I'd wear Frozen Tunic and craft another item for the set bonus but never got around to it)
- Trinket (sorcery)
- Chains (+5 Con / +8 Accuracy / +10 Spot / +1 Quality Int / sorcery)

I appreciate the chains look weird, but they fitted my arti gear setup; I'd plan out what gear you'll have and just fill the gaps.

EDIT:
Other hot heroic items outside of Ravenloft:
- Bracers of wind (Cannith Challenges)

From level 5 to 9 the bonus 1 Caster Level on Evo spells from a 3 piece abaishai set from Chrono is nice.
- Envenomed Cloak
- Boots of Corrosion
- Charged Gauntlets
(No bracers or helm due to the other above gear)

Other game changers that are a bit harder to acquire (and none are crucial):
- Level 10: 6 Int / 2 Insightful Int goggles
- Level 12: A Greensteel Radiance II Repeater (if you craft one GS item for an arti, it's this)
- Level 13: Big sneak attack damage items via Tharne's Goggles or a Ring of the Stalker (ghostly + manslayer too)
- Level 14: Fatal Flaw
- Level 15: Light Boltslinger / Arc Welder (distance version) - both from Mines of Tethyamir
- Level 15: 8 Int / 3 Insightful Int / 2 Ins. Evocation Focus goggles
- Level 13/17: An improved deception item (Ring of Lies / Golden Guile)

You also want Deadly (and Insightful Magnetism if you enjoy the SLAs) if you're that way inclined.

Cannith crafting is a decent option for a lot of this too.
