[Vish]

Didn't a dev say there was going to be a filigree set for staff users?
Coulda swore...

[PsychoBlonde]

Okay, wow, these are some nice sets. That 75 melee power on Sanctified Fervor is gonna be pretty big, even if it is only 1/minute. Honestly I'd rather see it reduced to 25 and let it be an always-up thing to the extent that you can manage it.

With the new Minor Artifacts it is NOT exclusive with Prowess, either, which is gonna be . . . blargh.

3% sonic spell crit damage on Reverberation is really feeble. 15-25% would be more reasonable, especially considering that it's a weird hybrid caster/attack set bonus.

Does Through the Mists also work with IMPROVED uncanny dodge? Because those abilities have a pretty long cooldown. It'd be good if it could be used with both of them.

Overall some pretty neat stuff here.

Arghhhh, it's totally wrong in these notes, that's 100% my fault. I will get the OP changed.

Text on sanctified fervor set bonus was actually an old drawing board version when this post was first posted. Have corrected it to the currently intended set bonus.

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

Wow, these are nice!

[Gratch]

Thought we'd see another set for tanks. Some HP's, AC's, PRR's %Up, Intim, or Hate bumps triggered by things tanks do (shield block, paly/ftr defensive stance, etc).

Sharn Filigree

Below are the new sentient filigree sets which will have a chance to drop in Sharn and post-sharn content. These filigree are the start of generation 2 of Filigree and like with generation 1 (from Ravenloft to Killing Time) as new filigree are added to this generation they will drop in all content that these filigree drop in. Generation 1 Filigree will not drop in Sharn or post-sharn content.

Soulweaver Filigree Set Rare Set!

• When 2 pieces are equipped: +20 Positive Spell Power
• When 3 pieces are equipped: +1 Caster Level with Positive Spells
• When 4 pieces are equipped: +2 to all Saving Throws
• When 5 pieces are equipped: +5% Positive Spell Crit Damage

Individual Filigree

• Charisma +1 -~- Rare Version: & +2 MRR
• Constitution +1 -~- Rare Version: & +2 PRR
• Positive Spell Crit Damage +2% -~- Rare Version: & +4 Universal Spell Power
• Positive Spell Power +30 -~- Rare Version: & +4 Universal Spell Power
• Spell Points +9 -~- Rare Version: & +4 Universal Spell Power
• Universal Spell Power +6 -~- Rare Version: & +4 Universal Spell Power
• Wisdom +1 -~- Rare Version: & +2 MRR

any chance the +1 to caster level for positive spells be changed to divine spells, which should still cover positive spells? arcane casters have always had items that give +1 to their caster levels, divines haven't.

What happened to the Quarterstaff-specific filigree set??

IIRC, Severlin mentioned it in one of his interviews. It might have been the one he did for DDOCast.

[Lynnabel]

What happened to the Quarterstaff-specific filigree set??

Implementation twisted it into Next Fall.

[Arkat]

Implementation twisted it into Next Fall.

I see.

DEX-based Q-Staff users need not apply, then.

Thanks.

[Lynnabel]

I see.

DEX-based Q-Staff users need not apply, then.

Thanks.

It has Dexterity in the Filigree suite, unless I am misunderstanding you.

[Gratch]

I see.

DEX-based Q-Staff users need not apply, then.

Thanks.

Yeah. Kind of weird that it only offers dex as an attribute but bases its highest tier ability on a str-based tactic. I'd prefer something like bumping that bonus up by x4, and then basing it on a normally unused feat, like Sap, that doesn't require a save check. Then you could call it Next Sap.

Edit:
Or maybe this was made assuming you go rogue TA (not that a Henshin should use dex).
Sweeping Strikes: Melee Quarterstaff Trip Cleave Attack: +1/3/5[W] to all nearby enemies and trips them. (Listed DC: Balance DC 10 + Rogue Level + Dexterity Modifier Negates trip). Cooldown: 30/25/20 seconds.
[Wiki links to a number of questions that the ability doesn't get count trip bonuses, etc]

[Arkat]

Nevermind...Sweeping Strikes.

But, according to some links referred to by the Wiki, none of the other Tripping bonuses (like Vertigo or Quality Combat Mastery) actually work with it.

So, STILL fairly useless.

yes I too would love to see a set for tanks.

When 4 pieces are equipped: Your Weapon attacks heal you for 1d6 Repair Damage on hit. This damage scales with Repair Spell Power

I'm guessing 1 sec ICD on this effect as with Vampirism?

Melee only or works with ranged too?

[AnTOIne3131]

is it normal that the dex filigrees give +3 dex?

[Cocomajobo]

is it normal that the dex filigrees give +3 dex?

Nah, just a transcription error. Fixed in the OP.

[Kielbasa]

Definitely like seeing the lore feats put to good use for something.

Some examples of interesting effects I would like to see in the future:

Wilderness Lore to X be it dodge cap, melee/ranged power, fort bypass, favored enemy hit/damage, double shot chance

Arcane lore to X your spells have a chance to trigger elemental weakness.

I am sure there are other player with some great ideas as well. You could easily make a melee version of the uncanny dodge set that barbarians would like as well.

[catfumaster]

Over all I really like these filigree sets. Obviously a lot of stuff for the new crossbow tree, which was expected, but nothing overly locked in. Should give us some decent choices as to how to fill out the extra slots from the artifacts.

They only real issue I'd have is with any of the filigree sets that add the 4d6 +1d6 per level damage bonuses don't really translate well into higher difficulty content. Some sort of melee/ranged/spell power scaling for those would be super and go a long way into dethroning Prowess.
