Equip & GS

[Mrmorphling]

Hello, my first monk (Shintao 3) is approaching legal age (lvl 18) and shroud is about to start.

I was wondering about his first GS item: i'm dead set on +45HP as he is very low atm lol (projected 460ish @20) but i'm unsure about the other benefits.

Triple air: nice clicky while soloing, decent guard
Triple pos: excellent clicky, +6 conc and nothing else
Triple earth: useless clicky, +6conc and decent guard
Smoke: good cliky, perma blur dual shard
Min: good clicky dual shard and not much more as minos is staying there for a while

Anything blatantly good i missed? Any advice?
The two spots i would put GS are goggles and cloak losing tharne and enve cloak (hate Mabar and those events in general so no cloak of night).

Thanks for any help and advice.

Yea, if you're not going to use cloak of night (like the event or not, it's easy to get and very nice), then cloak is where to put it. I use helm myself since there are very few decent, high-level monk helms, but cloak is fine. You will want goggles slot, although I'm not generally a tharne's user; lenses of opportunity until you get eRaven's sight.

I always go min2; yes, it's expensive, but this is supposed to be a permanent piece of gear, you want to start cramming all of the effects in you can, and +5 prot, heavy fort and 45 hp is an excellent start.
