Greensteel Slots?

[Bardicus]

I'm trying to decide where to put my greensteel items on my warchanter. I'm assuming the item I want first is a 45hp radiance guard followed by a SP conc opp cha skills item.

Boots seem like a bad spot due to Madstone Boots and Anger's Gift set. Gloves are spectral. Swapping Minos in the head slot for 45hp means I'm only netting 25hp from the item.

That seems to point me to bracers and cloak. But am I going to want to be wearing warchanter cloak? Where do you recommend greensteel for bards?

Same deal as my rogue, I went bracers as my immunity item and cloak for my hp item. Every other slot is used for good raid loot. If i were to make a third item, such as a cha umd item for the rogue, i'd go neck slot, seems to be the third weakest.

I went conc opp goggles and min 2 bracers on my bard. I also use epic fighting leathers to make up some of the sneak attack damage from tharnes. With toughness on the leathers, this combination of gear also frees up my helmet slot for GS immunities and I just always keep the bard's cloak on.


I think if I was starting fresh without access to the leathers I would go conc opp sp bracers and earth/radiance/air hp cloak, praying for an early tharnes pull.

On my warchanter, I was planning on the glove and boot slot. It sucks having to give up Spectrals, but I wasn't planning on Madstone anyhow since I'm going for a decent level of healing capability.

Bracers seem good, but I was aiming for Bracers of the Glacier.

Bracers of glacier are okay but there's nothing really vital on them. You really want the torc as your spell penn item if you have 16+ bard levels and you can scroll fire/cold sheild any time you want it. Archmagi only gives 50 extra sp with wiz VI on your conc opp item and you can swap in an amrath belt for that 50 sp if it's really important to you.

Suppose that's true. Spell penn doesn't matter for me since the only CC I'll be doing is Otto's Irresistible Dance, but Archmagi and the Fireshield guard really appealed to me. Spectrals are easier to get, though, so I suppose using the Bracer slot will be less of a headache.
