DT damage guard set, what to get?

[Bolo_Grubb]

with the changes coming I can now build a set of DT armor with exactly what I need on it.

The question is, what guards are best? I want guards that do damage, so what guards do the most damage and proc the most often. This will be a DT set for my tank.


Does not appear to be any damage guards available at tier 1

Tier 2 looks like it is between corrosive salt and crushing wave

Tier 3 has several options.

What do you recommend?

I've been running around with Salt and Disintegrate and I'm quite happy with it.

yep, and for 1st tier I'd do incite +10%

Salt and Disintegrate

Yo Glen!

Same. Untyped damage ftw. I put Greater fire Resist on Tier 1 for my barb. Makes for some fine Harry armor until you get enough cleansing stones built up.

Hello Merlocke

I like the +5 Resistance. Hard for me to fit it in otherwise.

[Bolo_Grubb]

Salt and Disintegrate seem like the clear winners.

what incite versus healing amp for tier 1? What are the thought there?

does the incite stack with other incite bonus such as the claw set from red fens?

incite would make enemies attack you more, which means a greater chance that it will proc more, if more creatures are attacking you

yes

I have crushing wave, and I'm really not a big fan. It goes off fairly often which is fine, but the damage is small and being ice is MASSIVELY resisted by most enemies. Polar Ray can easily burn through 10-30 points of ice resistance, but crushing wave is gelded by it.

Thanks for all the responses, they have been very helpful.

If you're a melee and have the time to make multiple sets, another good one is +5 resists, 20% healing, destruction.

love the sundering ooze guard on my barb when I solo.

[Bolo_Grubb]

I already have 2 sets, 1 plate and 1 leather.
My plate has +5 resist, +6 cha (for umd and intim) and after U7 +3 dodge.

My leather I think I wll put 10% incite, corrosive salt guard and disinegrate.

Throw is a few GS guards and I will be in great shape
