[gavijal]

marilith chain (demon queen raid). sword of shadow(vault of night raid). claw set(red fens). minos legends(tapestry in orchard).

EDIT: torc(demon queen raid) - very very very important item for all bards in my opinion.

You might also check out the three piece set from the Marketplace quests, which are your level and upgradable later. The set bonus gives you +5 cha, +5 wis, +5 str and +2 hit/damage. Bound to account so you can use it on your next character, too.

When you upgrade them to the level 13 versions with +6 to all stats, they bind to character.

Yea minos I have, sos will try 2 get, Is marilith worth it if I have bloodstone?

You might also check out the three piece set from the Marketplace quests, which are level 12-13. The set bonus gives you +6 cha, +6 wis, +6 str, a bit of potency in case you forget ardor, and +2 hit/damage. Min level 13 when upgraded, and bound to account so you can use it on your next character.

Do you remember name of that armor maybe?

The marilith has the same bonus as the bloodstone, freeing your trinket up for something else uber. Which is better depends whether your other trinkets or other armors provide better bonuses.

It's the Sora Kell 3-piece set.

I was wrong above. The items are originally bind to account and give +5 enhancement bonus to those stats and upgrade to +6. But I noticed that when they upgrade, they do bind to character. So you can choose whether or not to upgrade them.

The three items are Teraza's Sight, Katra's Wit, and Maenya's Fists. (hat, ring, and gloves). Together, they make the 3-piece set.

how much did you pay for your mithral full plate, and what is your ac? you do realise that AC is going to become less and less important as you level up from here on out and unless you can at least get it into the 60's ans 70's will be pretty much worthless at level 18+ and even then those numbers will mean little in elite amarath and epics.

Spectral gloves are really handy for incorporeal monsters such as those found in a number of quests in the necropolis and orchard. However, the +2 to-hit is the same bonus, and therefore not stacking with, your inspire greatness song. Still nice for right after you rez up.

I'd probably hang on to them for a few weeks if you don't have a good ghost touch weapon, and then trade them for components you might need to craft, create boots of anchoring, or whatever later on.

Alright, kind of barging in here, hope you don't mind -- I'm looking for a build that is an asset to the party but not painful on it's own -- Bounced between rogue and light monk, to no avail -- both were fun, but barring being the only rogue (.. strangely not all that common of an occurance) I never really felt like my presence mattered any.

But I have noticed healing is sort of scarce, and who DOESN'T enjoy buffs -- plus I enjoy wielding greatswords, so.. hey, looks like i've found my build!

Just a few questions: I see a lot of mentions of a WF build flipping through, but main post is for a human bard.. is there and update (Besides the one in the second post, I guess) -- I mean I prefer humans n' all, asthetics and whatnot, but I don't want to run with an outdated build either, heh.

Second -- Halfelves, like humans (even have the human healing feat!) but with a sort of built-in multi-class, or am I just delusional? thinking a splash of rogue or barb from the Dilettante would give some welcome bonuses, at least early on but.. not quite sure

Finally: Any suggestions for non-20 gear? Leveling is a big part of the trip XD, anything in particular I should look for statwise, or just "Stack healing amp/cha, never look back"?

Half orc is really the best race for the build these days, since its two-handed based and half orcs get such massive bonuses to two handed.

hi ive leveled my robot rock up to level 14 loving the dps over my human spellsinger bard but one thing I kinda dont like is the slump in self healing, I miss my one spell and my whole health bar is filled. Being warforged isnt helping, cant really hit high enough umd for heal scrolls yet. So healing amp is going to be a must, but even with some healing amp, say 20% from tod ring, shroud item, leviks bracers or what ever, will my healing be worth enough for me to fork out 2 feats maximize and quicken?

yeah other people brought up this when I mentioned i wanted to try the warforged version.

I know you are saying UMD "heal scrolls", but have you looked for arcane Repair/Reconstruct scrolls? It's possible that is what you mean. If not try those out. I do not have any 1st hand experience with leveling the WF version but about the only advice I can think of is to just hang in there. Generally speaking getting healing amp and taking healers friend enhancements will help out. As well as more levels + gear = more UMD = easier time with reconstruct. If Max + Quicken are worth it on WF? I am not sure. I LOVE them on my Horc. I can pop an Sup aldor, turn both on, run into battle and heal with no issues. I use it a lot in raids.

Next time listen to Valindria. (I'm just kidding, enjoy your WF).

the recon scrolls need a higher umd.

[Valindria]

the recon scrolls need a higher umd.

What about the repair ones? This is a legit question because I have never used them, but would the repair critical damage scrolls work? It's level 4 instead of the 6 of reconstruct, though the heal amount might not be enough. Also you might need Oil of Serious Repair pots, using your high haggle to fund them. Or if you solo a lot you could take a Wiz hire with the repair spells need.

Hey, I"ve got a capped robot, and I can say your healing will really be plenty with just say 20% tod ring, and 2 ranks of healers friend, if you eventually get claw gloves that'll put you over 100%. At high levels you'll be healing for ~160 average so even at 85% that's 140's healing, which is enough to keep you going. For the mid levels, just do what you can to get your umd up and try and use recon scrolls.
