Mid level monk gear

[Mumu720]

Ok so i need some help with mid/high lvl monk gear(not endgame, up to that point tho). I am going to be TRing my monk soon, and i have a good idea what im gonna gear him out for lower/mid levels and for endgame, but i feel like my mid to high level gear needs some work.

Im mainly wondering about the necklace slot up until 18 and the cloak and bracers up until endgame. Is there anything that is gonna be a must have from say lvl 13-18ish for those slots?

bracers for mid level (starting at 9) chaosgardes if your looking at an AC build.
For the neck I like the sirens ward set from the fens for the +2 insight AC the belt give 5 armor AC.

I say hold on your TR till you can craft up your GS HP item (cloak or goggles would be my choice) without access to a minos for me I'm looking at going cloak or goggles for the heavy fort with +5 deflection AC and 45HP and stone skin clickie.

after I can take the heavy fort off my outfit I'm looking at dropping on an Icy raiment and slip on a chattering ring (if i ever get one) till i can craft up my ToD rings.

At 12-13, I'd suggest:
- greensteel +hp item, if you have one. Helm or cloak are popular here.
- if helm slot is free, you can also consider the teraza's item (upgraded). lvl 13, +6wis, true-seeing. not bad. there's also a set of gloves from that set with +6 str if you need it.
- garments of equilibrium. lvl 12 I think?
- a really good set of handwraps lvl 10-14ish. stonedust are alright, but maybe pick up a nice +5 <effects> of stunning as well. usually you can equip those right around 12ish.

That's my 2cp anyways.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah im gonna be putting my gs item as my helm. Also i have +6 str going into gloves, but if there are gloves that give other enhancements as well ill try to find those. This bext build is going to be geared toward dps, although it will have some decent ac, it is not the main concern. I actually have the vampiric stonedust handwraps, but i preffer my icy burst force handwraps of stunning +8 since they are both ml12. I also have the garments of equilibrium too, and ill be using those for a few levels till dragon touched robe.

Neck: +x con/silver flame
Cloak: Prot/Saves/Elemental Resists
Bracers: If fire stance use Jidz'tetka. If not fire I really like Levik's and Tharnes there...the Levik's takes care of the need for a +6 str item, the Tharnes a +6 dex item. If you pick up a couple generic items for those two needs you could mix and match them. The Levik's also gives you 20% healing amp which is hard to pick up pre-16. The Tharnes are nice if you have the set for getting you ghost touch and also addresses the need for a +6 item. Also, the bracers of the glacier can be nice just for the fire shield cold guard on it. For my monks, I always have Jidz' bolted down but that's because I try for as much healing amp as possible and run fire stance the majority of the time.

Yes im running in fire stance for the next build, so i was thinking the Jidz'tetka would be nice. So far for generic gear for i think around lvl 12 i have +6 armor bracers mayb its 13 and +4 prot for the cloak, but idk if thats the best uses for those slots for the upcomin build.
