Bard Greensteel Theory

**geezee** · 07-03-2008, 12:11 PM

Just wondering what greensteel bards are taking.

**Aeneas** · 07-03-2008, 12:12 PM

I have a set of gloves i acquired in a trade, i'm considering making them into sp + cha skill gloves since i don't have titan gloves. Probably of the air guard variety.

**geezee** · 07-03-2008, 12:22 PM

ok

**geezee** · 07-03-2008, 12:34 PM

I guess my question is do you plan to swap it out?

**Varr** · 07-03-2008, 12:43 PM

Got a 14/2 bard/rogue. Put on her the +200 sp +3 int skill boost gloves. Plan a neg neg neg cloak, and have a +5 holy, good burst throwing hammer (figured someone had to make this piece of ****, so I did it! Gives me a reason to keep masters touch loaded also.)

**geezee** · 07-03-2008, 01:01 PM

Wiki doesnt list a bonus effect for neg neg neg. Is there one?

**Ironforge_Clan** · 07-03-2008, 01:02 PM

neg, neg, neg nets you slay living on weapons and slay living guard on items

**geezee** · 07-03-2008, 01:13 PM

Wow, awesome. I was wondering if anyone knows how much damage you take for equiping 2 clothing items at a time? Would I have enough time to equip both for a sec while I use a heal or res scroll? Thats really the only time I need +6 CHA skills in combat, and I dont like the idea of swapping out immunities or slay living guard to do it.

**Varr** · 07-03-2008, 01:25 PM

Believe the proc is in the 1.5% range. Care more about the fear, disease, posion, blindness imunities and the deathblock. Got this on my rogue already and like it more than I should.

I got aspect of Lightning and working to get it to tier 3 for my rapier though its more for support then combat , Shock , Greater Devotion 6 and Expensional CHA +2 is what i'm aiming for. And got Helm full Air , because level 16 haste clickes , and haste or the air knock down on getting hit seems better to me then going full postive hehe

**geezee** · 07-03-2008, 04:42 PM

Where can I find more accurate info about the aspects? Ive been on wiki and stormlords and they dont have many specifics.

Appropriate to thank Cambo for its creation/updating/monitoring and all the people that helped him flesh it out. Well done!

**geezee** · 07-04-2008, 11:49 AM

Thanks for the info guys. Still have a couple questions. Is it viable to equip 2 greensteel clothing items while UMDing a scroll? Also, has anyone tried neg/pos or pos/neg for the concordant opposition effect? Just wondering if the mana regen is worth anything.

Why not get +6 cha on it as well, instead of shock, and then you'll be able to use some other item instead of a cha helmet?

Why would a bard ever need a haste clicky? Bards are hasted all day long.

**Tuney** · 07-04-2008, 02:32 PM

I have the bard's cloak , that gives +6 cha and +15 perform then I have the Ring of Lies so why would I put +6 cha on a weapon when I already have so many other things giving stats. My build is a flexable type build , doesn't excell in dps , healing and cc though with what I have I'm able to do it all at least enough to matter in non raids for my CCing. Heck the point of my build is to switch between Warchanter and Spellslinger at will because sometimes one is better then the other depending what we are doing and group layout.

And it was eather go full postive or Full air for Cha skills and SP. I didn't want to go full postive because all I really got from it was a rez clicky. With the air sure I got 3 haste clickies but also gives me some stuff guards that are useful all the time instead of just vs undead.

It's in Vision of Destruction. I don't really think it's a great item, because I don't feel a Perform boost is actually needed.

But it's not too hard to get, because each VOD raid will want a bard with them, and nobody but that bard will want to take the item. So put in some time on VOD and eventually you'll get it.

**maddmatt70** · 07-04-2008, 07:07 PM

I prefer the cloak from the reaver over the bard's cloak. +1 to all my spell dcs is pretty nice even if I mostly cast enchantment spells..

**Tuney** · 07-04-2008, 07:21 PM

Yeah +1 spell DC is nice... but ONLY if you are going to be offensivly casting which I personaly only do in group setting due to my cha being only 30 and no Spell pentration. Sure that +15 perform doesn't do much but hey it is an extra insurance they have to roll a 20 to make the save with my DC 60~ Fasinate. And I mostly only use enchanment based spells so I just pull out the Dreamspitter which is +2 only time I really worry about the cloak is if I need +6 int or +1 dc to my fear (which most people hate for casting hehe)

The way i went to build my green steel items are based on my build , combinations that will provide effects I needed/wanted and what speical properties do I get based on the first 2. At least that is how I view making your first item should be like hehe
