    Default Need to upgrade gear for My Arcane Knight..any ideas?

    Hey guys I've reached Lvl 10 on my "Arcane Knight" (Currently Wiz7/Rogue2/Fighter1 and loving it) and could use some advice on what gear to go after as most of it is FAR outdated...here's what I have right now. Preferably looking for named items as my Plat supply is pretty pathetic and my crafting levels are just under 30 so not much spectacular there.


    Head: +5 Concentration Hat
    Neck: Underwater Action Necklace
    Trinket: Voice of the Master/Pearl of Power X (Thank you Mr.Jester)
    Cloak: Mantle of the World Shaper (+5% Exp, True Seeing w/ VoTM, Spell Absorption)
    Belt: +3 Constitution Belt
    Ring1: Divine Power Clickie 1/1
    Ring2: +2 Charisma of +3 Cha Skills (competency)
    Gloves: Charged Gauntlets (+2Str,10D6 on crit,10 Lightning Resist)/+10 Open Lock/-5% Arcane Spell Failure
    Boots: Hobnail Boots (+15 Balance)
    Bracers: Scorched Bracers (Fire Resist 10, Fireball Clickie)
    Armor: Iceblock Outfit of Axeblock/ +5 Mithral Chain Shirt
    Goggles: Intelligence+3



    Anyways here's the build for reference.

    True Neutral Dwarf Wiz12/Fighter6/Rogue2 PM2/SD1

    Str 16
    Dex 14
    Con 16
    Int 16 (+2 Int Tome at level 7)

    Level Order: Rogue 1, Wiz 2-8, Fighter 9, Rogue10, Wiz 11-15, Fighter 16-20


    Feats

    Normal

    1 Toughness
    3 THF
    6 Mental Toughness
    9 GSF:Necro
    12 Combat Expertise
    15 Empower
    18 Improved Shield Mastery or Improved Shield Bash


    Fighter

    9 Shield Mastery
    16 IC:Slashing
    18 ITHF
    20 GTHF

    Wiz

    2 Extend
    6 SF: Necro
    13 Maximize

    Note: I will likely use AM until I unlock PM2 simply for the extra SP as Zombie Form is nigh useless to this build

    Yeah see thats the problem this guy is part of a static group and while im fine with joining raids their not comfartable with it...I guess I cold join some loot runs so it doesnt put me ahead of the others...main problem is convincing people to let my undergeared Arcane Tank in their group he's kind of unconventional.

    Bracers: Scorched Bracers (Fire Resist 10, Fireball Clickie)
    Armor: Iceblock Outfit of Axeblock/ +5 Mithral Chain Shirt
    Goggles: Intelligence+3
    As a basic Gear List, this is what I'd be looking at 'right now' (i.e max lvl 10). This is a more ideal gear listing if you can craft or buy the necessaries.

    Armour: +5 Mithral Chain Shirt
    Goggles: Attack Bonus +2 (Crafted)
    Bracers:
    Belt: Strength +4 (ML: 9 on random loot, ML: 7 crafted)
    Gloves: Dexterity +4 (ML: 9 on random loot, ML: 7 crafted)
    Necklace: Constitution +4 (ML: 9 on random loot, ML: 7 crafted)
    Hat: Intelligence +4 (ML: 9 on random loot, ML: 7 crafted)
    Cloak: Protection +5
    Trinket: Natural Armour +3
    Boots: Crafted skill items
    Ring: Ring of Moderate Fortification?
    Ring: Mobile Ring of Improved False Life?

    Weapon: +5 Dwarven Axe of Pure Good
    Alternate Weapons: Fire/Negative Spell Damage Clickies / Lore Items
    Shield: +5 Mithral Large Shield

    If your playing as a 'Arcane Tank' then gear yourself towards the best AC you can get - Best Armour, Enhancement Bonus, Max Dex Bonus, Natural AC, Deflection AC and any other source of AC you can get your hands on. Also, that To Hit of yours is going to suffer, especially in CE/PA stances, so you need to take care of that with the best Enhancement Bonus and Competency item you can get.

    I'm also guessing that your pretty much always hasted, so I didn't figure in striding/Melee Alacrity crafting.

    It's a bit of a mix build you have, but hope that gives you some ideas.

    The problem is, you're going to want some very, very specific stuff and most of it will be raid gear or ML 18-20. I'm playing a Half Elf version of this same build and am finishing off the gear list before a second TR.

    http://my.ddo.com/character/thelanis/mordite/


    Bracers of the Demon's Consort -- Demon Queen raid
    Torc of Prince Raiyum-de -- Demon Queen raid
    Circle of Hatred -- Accursed Ascension
    Light and Darkness -- Mindsunder
    Minos Legens -- Orchard of the Macabre

    Shroud of the Abbot -- Accursed Ascension
    or
    Epic Robe of Shadow -- Mabar Event
    Give a man a fish, and he demands two more tomorrow.
    Teach a man to fish, and he'll leave to find somebody who'll just give him a fish.
    Beat him unconscious with the fish, and it's comedy.
