Boots: Halcyon (Ghostly, Dexterity +8, Wis +2, potency 80)

Doesn't provide Ghostly.

I'm trying to figure my regearing plan at the moment.

Basically assuming Dun'Robar Tendon Slicing, Black Dragon Set and Heal Amp bracers as fixed options.

Improved Deception/Sneak: Backstabber/TOD Set/20% Heal Amp vs Seal of Avithoul/Nether's +2 STR Diversion/ Optics (WIS) vs Visor.

Planar WIS/Dream Visor vs Planar STR/Optics - basically dodge vs PRR, as Subterfuge set gives true sight, dodge 3% and full eSneak. So Dream Visors (+4/5 dmg) vs max STR/+4 dmg.

I haven't tested but +2 artifact bonus from Black armour shouldn't stack with Planar Prowess bonus, but will stack with Dream Visor. So over all Subterfurge set may be better.

I have tested the Sun Soul set. That does stack with the Prowess set (+4+2). I think the Sun Soul set is still untyped, so this may change.

It some what depends on your tomes and even/odd brackets: WIS vs STR. +1 WIS bracket is 3.1% more 10k dps according to reports, for 50% of the over all time. +1 STR vs +1 WIS bracket, then depends a lot on you gear, build and crit profile.

Halycon is good for potency if you can twist cocoon, but Surefooted with Mobility and Balance/2% dodge could be nice as well.

Spare Hand is a strong option for non-full UMD builds. You can use Arkat's Cord to slot Toughness, if you don't have an old Spare Hand, plus it gives you extra slots. I think belt slot is pretty much the only useful non-blocking slot for greensteel.

I like the idea of Waking on the black slot for CHA/Ghostly/Resists - especially if you drop enlightenment and need to save Ki. But eSeeker/Dodge/Diversion on Iron cloak is also a strong choice.

Symbol of the Shining Sun could be cheap way to slot WIS+7/CHA+2/Concentration +15, or a Random WIS+8 necklace with a slot. Also Alchemist's Pendant with +20HP and Ki+1 is worth considering.

Unfortunately I never grabbed Gilvaenor's in all the 60+ TOD runs I did. TOD isn't run much in the AU/NZ timezone at the moment. But I just got Yugo favour again, so I might start it up again once a week.

Also you are not at full BAB at 18 so there is a difference there... since BAB is supposed to determine base attack speed
