Fabricator's Bracers

[Auran82]

Whats the changes that the gem is supposed to get ?

Its meant to act as either half of the sets instead of specific ones.

Do the bonuses of these stack with madstone rage? Also, any idea on drop rate (or too early to tell?)

They should. Fabricator bonuses are 'alchemical' which would rule out store pots if I am not mistaken and nothing else ingame atm. Maybe House D pots? I really do not utilize either so I forget which ones are what on those.

Can anyone confirm the proc on these works with ranged?

Just slaughtered most of the Manufactury using ranged only. Not one proc. Not even with Manyshot up (which I fired up as often as it was available).

Switched to TWF, and within a minute had 2 procs. Seemed a little odd...

*edit* - update. Switched the bracers to my Assassin.
Self-hasted (using pots) and went to town. Luck wasn't much better in melee than the Ranger-Arcane Archer. Took out the first dozen or so mobs I came across.
Keep in mind mobs took a while to take out as well, since some are immune to blindness (such as dogs) - which meant no sneak attacks. I also don't have smiters on this toon on Llama either, so yeah, it took awhile. Straight up gimped non-SA damage from an Assassin.

1 proc total.

Something tells me the proc rates of before (some previously said they could keep the proc up almost indefinitely, it was *that* good) have been nerfed hard. Either that or I'm really unlucky.
Someone else want to re-test this?

why would you get rid of the old one?

Well since we get +2 constitution on Bracers of the Claw i had the idea to re-gain the ravager ring trash the old one to get on it +20% heal amp instead of +2 constitution like the one i had before. Looks like i need to get another ravager at this rate if these bracers are so good. So i demand ToD ring decrafting i dont want spend my game-life re-doing another 20/40 completions of ToD: it's not entertaining.

it's a shame, if this proc isn't almost perpetual it looks like a garbage item.

Yep it really is too bad... if the currently reported quite rubbish proc rate goes live, I'll seriously have to consider again when to buy the new pack or whether to buy it at all (I try to be quite picky with my packs). Oh I know my situation might be very different from the majority, but anyway.. I'm disappointed.

Btw, considering your sig(as my situation is quite surprisingly very related to it) a major source of fun for I'd assume many, is to plan and make their toon pretty much as good as it can be with perhaps set limitations. New gear and everything that changes the plan or the final build, is new progression, a new source of fun. A completely (tho admittedly quite preposterously) different aspect of the fun/game, when compared to challenge. A type of content quite important to many. Because of the tr loop, this progression is not essential to ddo as a whole, but for pack sales it is. Just my opinion of it^^

Yea, I have the exact same problem now.
