Does this filigree set bonus stack with LGS Ooze? They seem to be the exact same effects, which usually implies they won't stack, but it's a filigree set, which usually stacks with everything. Thus, I don't know what to expect.

It stacks. Atleast as of the previous build on Lammania it did.

Very cool. Thanks for the info.

Coalesced Magic Filigree Set

Why would anyone use this set over Otto+Beholder sets.

+2 DC to spells is much better than a little of spellpower or even +1 lvl with spells.

[Arkbusya]

Me again,

I think some set are too powerfull in their bonus :

* The Crackshot Negotiator : +15 Range power, there is no set wich give the same in mele power, you should lower it to +10.

* The Darkhallow : +20 Negative Amplification; in comparaison, the Sanctified Fervor (Rare Set!!!) give only 5 Healing amp... And actually, the only one with +20 healing amp is the double filigree Purity/Touch of Grace. The 2 pieces set bonus should be +10 and not +20. Same thing for the Shards of Mechanus with +20 Repair amp.

* Reverberation : Bonus dmg proc on only 2 pieces !?! For all the other set, dmg proc for at least 3 pieces... Invert the bonus for 2 and 3 pieces. (And i won't post again for this +20 Sonic Power, some set already have the same or more in a specific spellpower with 2 pieces).

One more plea for rehashing these "bardic" filigree sets. Give them focus. Make Reverberation caster set and Cacophony weapon damage set.

Cacophony: Take the sonic damage from reverberation. Move IC as first bonus to make it accessible for all bards.
* 2 piece: Inspire Courage +1
* 3 piece: 4d6 +1d6 Sonic damage
* 4 piece: some doublestrike/doubleshot, whatever is appropriate

Reverb: Loses sonic damage on hit, gets positive damage from Cacophony, and new stuff
* 2 piece: Sonic and Positive Spell Power
* 3 piece: Sonic and Positive Spell Crit Damage (more than 3% ffs)
* 4 piece: +2 DC for Evo/Ench, add 1d3 to Sustaining Song

4 piece sets bugged as they don't work with ranged weapons

[Aelonwy]

One more plea for rehashing these "bardic" filigree sets. Give them focus. Make Reverberation caster set and Cacophony weapon damage set.

Cacophony: Take the sonic damage from reverberation. Move IC as first bonus to make it accessible for all bards.

* 4 piece: some doublestrike/doubleshot, whatever is appropriate

* 2 piece: Sonic and Positive Spell Power
* 3 piece: Sonic and Positive Spell Crit Damage (more than 3% ffs)
* 4 piece: +2 DC for Evo/Ench, add 1d3 to Sustaining Song

Logically consistent. I like it. Please make it so.

•When 5 pieces are equipped: When you activate Smite Evil you gain: +5 Melee Power and an additional +1 Melee Power per Religious Lore Feat you have.

Smite Evil was not granting melee power from 5 piece set. I was using exalted smite so is this WAI and you have to use the regular Smite Evil to get the bonus?

Confirmed on Lamannia: the rating debuffs stack with other sources of the same. Effects proc rate is about 2.5% on each, giving almost 100% uptime on a single target if you attack fast enough. Low procrate means these debuffs are NOT effective as a swap weapon.

Why not change the 4 piece to a added bonus thats different when you trip targets? Something like: 'Tripped targets take 5% more dmg and are helpless' or 'When you attack a target with trip, they suffer a stacking debuff of X to saves, AC, PRR, or MRR'.

You could even get creative with the debuffs and make them random, similar to the way City's beacon buffs your defenses, but opposite. I feel this would be more unique, while still being creative, new, and powerful.

[lyrecono]

Looking at the trip set. Who was this made for?

Trip really only works on a relatively small amount of builds, mostly wolfs and monks, mostly because the dc on LD's lay waste is broken, Bug: Feats, past lives, item boosts don't affect the DC of Lay Waste.
Can you guys fix it so there are more build and gear options are available?

Reverberation Filigree Set
When 3 pieces are equipped: +20 Sonic Spell Power
When 4 pieces are equipped: +3% Sonic Spell Crit Damage

The +3% Spell Crit Damage seemed really small, so I used my level 30 Bard as a baseline and made a quick excel sheet. I'm not really sure what baseline stats you used to calculate the damage, but I used: 800 Sonic Spell Power, 75% Spell Crit Chance and the +25% Crit Damage from the Legendary Feat.

When I added this bonus to his damage, I found that the 3% Spell Crit Damage is a smaller damage increase than the +20 Sonic Spell Power. It is a fairly weak 4-piece bonus. +6% Sonic Crit Damage would work out to be a similar damage increase as adding another 20 Spell Power. Which is better but still not that impressive. +8 or +10% would be more reasonable. It would make the 4-piece bonus better than the 3-piece. Gen 1 filigree had a +50 Fire/Cold spell power 4-piece bonus and a +50 Electric Spell Power 2-piece bonus. Which is way better than both of these bonuses put together.

There is a similar issue with the Soulweaver Filigree Set, the 5-piece 5% Positive Spell Crit bonus. It's a really small increase in healing and it's the 5-piece bonus of a rare set! It should be attractive enough to want to invest 5 of your filigree slots to get it. Switching the 4 and 5 piece around and instead of a +2 saves 4-piece bonus, a +2 Fort/Will save and you never fail either on a one 5-piece bonus would be a lot more attractive. Or, switching the 3 and the 5 piece and making it +2 or +3 caster levels with positive spells. (Embraced by light has 5-piece +2 caster levels with healing spells, which I guess is the same as positive spells? It's also a non-rare set)

Either the Spell Crit bonuses should be made larger or they should move down to the two-piece bonus level. The other rare set, Coalesced Magic, has a three-piece bonus of 4% universal spell crit. A lot more reasonable for its level than having a 5% Positive 5-piece bonus. Just comparing the rare set bonuses: a 3-piece 4% universal vs a 5-piece 5% specific spell power type doesn't look right. It should be higher because it's a specific type and because it's a higher tier set bonus.

(I know Sharn is set to launch next week, so I doubt there is time to really change much of anything. But the tiny spell crit damage bonuses are just lackluster and should be reevaluated.)

[Dreppo]

Looking at the trip set. Who was this made for?

It's a nice set for thief-acrobats with their AOE trip.

[lyrecono]

It's a nice set for thief-acrobats with their AOE trip.

I have seen 2 since ravenloft and neither of them plays quests on reaper and raids on elite, too squishy.

Anyway, devs, are you fixing lay waste?
