summary comparison of the two sets

Old vs New

Dex…….32...29 --- no profane item, no quality item. costs 1 or 2 assassinate and hit/dam
con...….29...29
wis.…….17...0 --- less full time spot score
DS...…..42...52 --- nice boost to Doublestrike
seeker..24...12 --- big hit to seeker
PRR.....50...92 --- this is a big boost also. I run at 185 pre-reaper now, so this will be 227 + reaper bonuses + temp bonused (260-270 likely)
hamp….61...85 --- nice bonus
saves...23...26
assas...12...13 --- higher, but losing out on dex makes this a wash at best.
bypass.25...43 --- good bump
decept..23...8 ---
bluff.....22...0 --- the drop in deception and bluff might hurt for sneak vulnerability.
dodge..19...22 --- higher, but was capping anyway.
deadly..18...17
acc...….28...33
MP...…...8....25 --- nice boost
divers...38...35
HP...…..60...101 --- 41 more hp is always nice.


So what do you guys think? I've been racking my brains trying to figure out how to incorporate the new stuff. I'm still not satisfied.

[Arjen]

I've found it to be a wash for melee DPS - it's not worth the effort to lose Assassinate DCs for what amounts to be marginal gains.

DC casters on the other hand... it is 100% worth the time to tetris into Sharn gear.

[Shadow_Jumper]

If anything the biggest change from RL to Sharn gear is HAMP and To Hit.

I saw both of those increase massively on my rogue.

[HuneyMunster]

I found it a bit of a headache to fit everything I need into a gear setup. Couldn't fit Well Rounded, but have reaper Sightless instead. Sightless in also my source of MRR that's hard to fit now that Sheltering is broken into two types. Had to use a +8 Resistance Augment for saves bonus.

I don't have the raid necklace yet, but will probably swap to it once I have it. Will also change my crafted trinket to +12 to spell saves. Might also switch to Slave Lord crafted trinket for accuracy and quality con. Sitting at 75 main hand doublestrike unbuffed, that increases to 95 with rapid Slash and 100 with a stack of Killer. Losing some Armor Piercing and Relentless Fury is only other issue with change to raid neckless.
