Human Blizt Build Gear Advice !

[Symerith]

Hey, just wanted to get feedback on the gear I'm planning to get. Mostly want to make sure I'm not forgetting a "key" item...
Advice on weapon set please !

Human : 12 Fighter / 6 Barbarian / 2 Rogue - TWF DPS

Things I really need advice on are bolded.

Helmet : Minos Legens (only gives toughness since I already have Heavy Fort. on the Bracers of the Claw.
Necklace : Shintao Cord : Constitution +6, Concentration +15, Shintao Monk Set Bonus (=+2 hit & damage)
Trinket : Litany
Cloak : GS cloak : +45HP // +6 dex skills // haste
Ring 1 : Tumbleweed
Ring 2 : Kyosho's ring : Wisdom +6, Exceptional Strength +1, Shintao Monk, Incredible Potential
Gloves : Epic Gloves of the Claw : Strength +6, Intimidate +5 (Stacks), Healing Amplification 30%
Bracers : Epic Bracers of the Claw : Exceptional Constitution +2, Heavy Fortification
Claw set ==> +4 Damage, 20% Extra Threat
Armor : Marilith Chain :
Goggles : Tharne's Goggles
Boots : Madstone Boots
Belt : Knost's Belt : +6 con & GFL
Weapon : Having a hard time chosing what I should make :
-Either 2x Lit2 Khopeshes & I'll use some DR breakers I already have (+5 metalline weapons of PG)
-Either 2x Min2 Khopeshes with 2x Lit2 Picks since I'm an epic oriented player

Thx for any feedback !

I wouldnt go the Lit2 picks... you do know they removed the autocrits from held mobs right?

From a DPS standpoint, I would swap out the tumbleweed/Knosts for Ravager set and slot in GFL on your armor.

WHAT? How are we supposed to run epics now? Of what use are arcanes then? :S
I mean, SERIOUSLY? Or is it simply a joke lol

I'm not planning to make the marilith chain epic anytime soon. Let's be realistic... do I have 30-40 reds available atm?
No slots on eClaw set so not sure there's a way to make the ravager set fit in...or did you mean DT armor? Since I'm gonna be using the marilith chain...can't put it there either.

Finally, does the +2 seeker from the ravager belt stacks with the marilith chain?
Otherwise, I admit that's a good idea but not I have a problem with sloting GFL.

First, forego the picks. U9 removed auto-crit. LitII peshes are fine.

Tumbleweed is of marginal use. +6Dex isn't vital and you get +4 from Madstones. The +2 to hit is somewhat useful but, is only needed when you do NOT have Bard Songs available.

The Ravager set(Ring + Colenthis Belt) does an average of 7 damage per hit(2d6.) The only downsides are rather minor. First, it doesn't work with handwraps to the dismay of many a monk(WAI btw.) The second, not *every* mob is susceptible. Some are immune.
The ring is potentially +9Str with +1 and +2 Exceptional Strengths on it. That alone should get it on your hand. You could do that on Kyosho's instead(+3Exc Str) but now you have the option of +2exc whateverstat or +20% healing amp for example.
Oh, the Belts is just +2 Seeker, not exceptional so no it only stacks with the CC Trinket

CC Hat with +6 Seeker to replace your Minos. Lose 22hp(or is it 20..) and don't sweat it. You don't plan to tank right? Now get a DT set and put Tharnes on your Sovereign Rune to get the set bonus...yes threat REDUCTION to help offset your Claw Set....so you stay *not tanking* would be a smart idea imo. Slot whatever floats your boat on the other 2 slots.

Until you get your Litany throw a CC Trinket in as the Exceptional Seeker +2 is working(so Im told) and the Shocking on 20s works vs a lot of content.

End result = moar deeps!1!!
The downside, you are also light about 50ish hp as you don't have GFL(unless you DT it) or Toughness on an item. Don't tank. You will still beat 400hp and with half decent play will be fine. You can always swap gear if you *really* need the extra. Or chug a Yugo Con pot and take the slightly slower attack speed.

Thx a lot !

Really good idea I have a hat with +6 seeker/+15 balance at bank & the CC trinket.

Ravager, Shintao & Claw it is.

However, my dex will only be around 20s if I don't get a +6 item (Isn't that a problem?) and I'll get a DT armor with GFL, +20% Healing Amp & Tharnes/Disintegrate.

When HP is needed, raids/epics, I'll switch the marilith chain & the minos legens for the CC hat & the DT armor.

Finally, I'll craft min II's first & Lit2 when I get the mats

Again, thx for the feedback !

Don't craft Min II's now! The recipe is currently bugged, beware! See this thread: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php...16#post3758116

Thanks for the warning , guild message already informed me of the bug though, and for now, my toon is lvl 5 & I'm not planning to craft min II's till she reaches lvl 12, so let's hope the bug will be fixed by then... ^^

[Symerith]

With ravager, shintao & Claw sets, my dex will only be around 20s if I don't get a +6 item (Isn't that a problem?) and I'll get a DT armor with GFL, +20% Healing Amp & Tharnes/Disintegrate.

While a high healing amplification is awesome (+180% with ship buffs ==> +20% human, +30% claw set, +20% DT, +10% ship buffs), I can't make the +6 dex fit in, except if I get rid of the +20% HA from DT & add +6 dex.

To make it clear : Swapping Marilith & Minos Legens FOR DT armor & CC hat
Problem : Have GFL but missing toughness


On the other hand, I would love to keep the marilith chain since I favor the litany & I have no other way to get toughness but on minos legens (Minos legens instead of +6 seeker).

To make it clear : Keeping marilith chain, Litany & Minos Legens but can't seem to make GFL & +6 Dex item fit in...

Any ideas? :S

Oh good, didn't want to see any more people fall victim to that bug.

[Symerith]

Anyone?

[Rightousdude]

Like someone said before. Madstone boots are +4 so the difference is +1 AC and +1 Reflex save. (+2 vs +3). That is not much to give up for that much DPS.

[Ravoc-DDO]

Another suggestion might be the t3 ring of the buccaneer if you happen to have crafted it during the CC event. You could then slot Toughness or GFL in its green slot. It also gives you +7 DEX, Good Luck (+2 saves & skills) and UA as nice utility on top.

[Symerith]
