LF Gear advice for Arti tank

[mikarddo]

I decided to fix my mediocre gear on several builds by making a list of wanted gear for each one so I atleast remember to keep the items I need.
This is for my 15 arti, 4 pally, 1 wiz intim tank (selfhealing)

Armor, Helm, Neck: Sharn Set (Incite, Intim, P Shelter, Ins P Shelter, M Shelter, Nat Armor, Protection, Fort, Heal Amp, False Life, Spell Saves, Parry)
Cloak, Belt, Gloves: 2 LGS items (reflex, will, resists) + 1 slot free (need to figure out what to use, possibly Ghostly)
Ring: Minor artifact (Cha, Cha skills, Elec Abs)
Trinket: Slavelords (Dex, Q Con, Repair)

Goggles: Collective Sight (Con, Ins Con, Q Resist)
Bracer: Construct Champ Band (Recon, Repair Amp, Deadly)
Ring: Celestial Emerald (Ins Incite, Ins Intim, Linguistics, Wis)
Boots: Sunken Slippers (Lesser Disp, Q Cha, I Potency, Q Potency)

Weapon: Looking for advice, I am clueless on melee weaponry. I have a LGS affirmation swap in weapon already.
Shield: Mirrorplate (Spell Saves, Q M Shelter, Block 15%, Block Ins M Shelter)

I wish I had room for : Ghostly, FoM, Profane +2, Magic Effic, Greater Auto Repair and Ins Repair Amp, and likely more I overlooked.

Any advice on how to improve this setup is very welcome. More LGS wont happen though. Newer raid items are less likely as well as I have other builds using the runes for now.

Dont forget to use the runes on the LGS item you will wear full time

Sharn tank set is armor helmet necklace, so neck is out for you. The only thing you are missing is ghostly. Your saves should be sufficient enough having the paladin levels so you shouldnt need FOM and if you do just get a gear piece for a swap for things that require it. Greater auto repair is not worth much and comes on gear that is very outdated. Stick res +13 on LGS items. 2 items will get out will and reflex, fortitude is usually a non issue save as your con is so high. Heal amp is on the armor so that eliminates your bracers. Maybe champions bracers as they have repair amp? Guess you need another LGS slot since neck is taken. Bracers+Belt? With all your geat your intim is probably what 110? thats enough for most content so you can scrap the emerald ring for something with incorp, like the ring of shadows from epic gianthold.

Thank you. I indeed had several things wrong. As you noted I had mixed up neck and cloak slots though that a simple switch.

I am using Reconstruct to self heal so I want both heal amp and repair amp. For some reason I had gotten into my mind that I was using docents but as you point out thats not correct.
That means changing the bracer to the one from Nightfalls with Recon and Repair Amp and slotting resists elsewhere - could be on LGS or in worse case an augment.
Thus frees up the gloves so I have gloves, cloak and belt for 2 LGS and 1 more item. I will have to consider that a bit further.

Consider this ring as well, to capitalize on your self-repair abilities.


Btw, I use "Legendary Softsole slippers" on my tank that give Ghostly and Ins.Cha +9. Practically BiS.

Same with THTH shield "Lunar Eclipse" but it's irreplacable. It's got it all.

I never missed FoM on my tank either b/c of the very high saves. Only places where you really need (like in Strahd) usually generously provided by Divine party members.

For a Cloak I prefer "Legendary Cloak of the City's champion" and all the stats are great for a tank.
