Second GS item for Cleric, where to put it...?

[AAAFate]

Goggles already taken as 1st GS item. Cloak or Bracers?

I hear people talk a lot about cloaks for the second item, only cloak I can think of on missing out on is the cloak of the zephyr, and that is only when I solo pretty much like a sins of attrition or something like that.

How about bracers? with my archmagi coming from skiver.

Let me know some thoughts as I am not completely familiar with all the end game good stuff to get and where it goes. But right now I am leaning towards cloak, especially if there are good bracers out there that I don't know about yet. Thanks

why not boots?

What sort of items are you looking to replace (besides cloak of the Zephyr which I never use myself tbh)

You have the option of gloves, boots, cloak and bracers. The problem comes in with certain epic items becoming viable (chainmail coif, Belt & Helm of Mroranan, Kundarak Warding Shield and Bracers etc etc)

I would suggest looking at what you want to craft onto your gs item and see what epics you would go for and which epics will essentially have the same ability as the gs you're planning on, and then craft into the relative spot.

Boots will prevent you from using it if you ever run ToD. Just for the end fight, sure, but it's something to keep in mind.

I went cloak on my second.

I wouldn't do that lightly, however, if you are a max Wisdom build that uses the Stormreaver's Napkin.

Depending on what you have on your goggles, you could always do a Smoke II cloak with HP or SP as a replacement for your Zephyr Cloak. It may not be the most efficient use of ingredients, but if it suits your play style...

Gloves spot seems best IMO. What are you using there? Any +6 stat from the gloves spot can be added to an Epic item placed elsewhere. Some use 7 fingered gloves for the UMD, but a high UMD for a cleric seems a bit redundant. Good luck!
