Epic ratcatcher/chivalry plate

[Xezno]

Did any of you barbarians get the epic ratcatcher and/or chivalry plate during the event and test them out? I havent really played a THF barbarian at cap, but i immagine that both those items would be great on a THF stunner build.

AH yes... wasnt online so i didnt check the names. Crafted both so im just curious...

The Ratcatcher will be a very nice tool in the hands of a barbarian with stunning blow. I've made one to tier 3, but not able to give it a test swing yet as my barb is being TRed.

The plate looked nice on first glance, but I didn't bother upgrading it.
+6 mithral pretty useless for a low AC barbarian.
DR 5 doesn't stack with barbarian DR i believe.
Superiour false life is nice i guess, but only +10 hps from GFL on knosts belt, nice if you go for ravager set though.
The demonic guard thingy is the only effect that interested me and it's there on tier 1.

I got the maul to T2 and its amazing! The DPS is slightly lower base than my Min 2 GA and obviously does not have any of the acid etc that the Min 2 has, but the stunning +10 makes up for this LOADS. When I am fully raged and buffed my Stunning Blow DC is way into the mid 40's. Easily enough to stun 90% of stunnable mobs I run into.

The Cavalry plate is at T3 but I do not have the tokens to equip yet. When I do I think I will be forced to go with Heavy Fort as I made a Cha +6 intim +15 pirates hat that I keep perma equiped (means I can use Silver Flame pots without being crippled). The guard does not seam to proc all that much but does do so atleast as often as my Earthgrab guard from my 45hp GS item.
