rogue endgame question (or bugs question)

[somerecluse]

do epic charged gauntlets and greater bold trinket shocking blow affect each other negatively in any way? i think in the past the trinket canceled out the gauntlets in a buggy way. ive been away for a while and was curious. and have other rogues replaced bloodstone+ one ring with t3 challenge stalker ring + bold trinket? curious if thats the maximum dps combo now or is there another trinket im missing? im not wearing kyoshos set so i should have no conflicting bonuses of exceptional damage. thanks for any info!


edit* whoops left the word gear out of the title. cant edit oh well

I can verify that the two effects from Epic Charged Gauntlets (20d3+60) and the Greater Bold Trinket (10d3+30) do stack without issue. AFAIK, there has never been a stacking issue with them. I used them both shortly after the Trinket came out, took a nine month break shortly after, and they still stack upon my return.

As for the Epic Ring of the Stalker, that's my current plan. I'm planning on replacing the Bloodstone with a crafted trinket with +4 attack, though I'm unsure of the prefix, as most are fairly useless to melee.

I'm personally conflicted on which ring to do away with. Kyosho's for the +2 hit/damage, or Ravager's for the 2d6 per hit. I'll prolly just carry both, slot them the same (+2 exceptional Str) and create two GS accessories to swap into the belt or neck depending on which I'm using.

Since you're currently not using Kyosho's, it's an easy slot in.

aye i wear epic fighting leathers for +4 to hit when bard isnt present and its needed. sucks because i often need the extra 20% threat reduction and 20% healing amp on my dt (tharnes sov). currently i wear gs hp bracers but ill move those to neck and replace it with claw bracers to keep my +2 exc con and save a slotted heavy fort. sitting at 3 piece abishai (gaunt, cloak, helm) so i could wear madstones full time since i rarely need to umd. my options were that or going 5 piece for the +3 profane con. figured this was cheaper and allowed more flexibility with boot swaps. then stalker ring + greater bold trinket. wonder if the damage bonus doesnt stack with the ship buff damage bonus still.... suppose i can test that when i get home.
