    Default /showdocent off

    I don't really want this command. But what I do want is some way for more variety in Warforge apperance. My WF Barb looks like Baron Samedi in a purple ripped trench coat. That sounds cool but its actually rather horrid to follow around.

    Docents and all armor in general are way too segragated. And I'm referring to random loot pulls. Not raid or otherwise unique.

    That's another thing. Please review the rare end reward docents from the years old quest chains like WW, Co6, Delera's etc. These docents are uselless. Some of them are simply a named docent with a +1 Enhancement. Even when we were running around murdering with Masterwork at lvl7 that stuff wasn't exciting.


    And I've always believed that all, ALL named, rare, unique items should have their own unique look so that they can be easily recognized and admired. Yes, looks do make a different. Graphics do matter. It adds its own level of enjoyment to many.

    Savvy?

    100% agree with the OP here. Docents need a lot of work to make them look better and to make some more useful.

    I got a hold of the Titanic Docent recently and realized that the 15 second shield boost of DR is impossible to use effectively. While playing with that docent, you hot bar the clickie and by the time you click it, either a) the fights over, B) your dead, or c) You don't get hit while it's on.

    It's pretty bad that the current best docent to use for many WF is the docent of defiance, and that is only because of a random effect.

    I'm kinda partial to my Docent of Quickening

    You do realize that docent of quickening is overruled by a haste spell/pot, right?

    Best time to use it I've seen is when springing a trap -- i.e. VoN4. Take little-to-no damage at all.

    Also seems to be a great clickie for short-burst melee of the DQ.

    Titanic isn't impossible to use if you're anything but a Barbarian. It's only useful if you can pop it fast, and there's NO such thing as 'fast Dismiss Rage, equip TD, use TD'

    From what I've noticed, there are layers to each robe model. A certain layer is taken off and pasted onto the warforged body to achieve the composite plating look. More layers are added to give mithral body, and then adamantine body. Most of the docents look as particularly ugly as they do because they were first designed to be a robe, then shortcuts are taken to convert them into docents.
