Wizards - where do you slot your second GS item?

[inggold]

I made my T3 conc opp SP goggles.

Now looking to begin a HP item, as I'm coming up on the 20th shroud for my wizard.

Where do folks adivse to slot the HP item?

I'm a bit lost on gearing a wizard. I've got my Ench DC's up to 38, and plugging along, but really not a lot of idea what to aim for for end game.

What I'm doing now:

Chest: DT armor, hoping for epic diabolist's.
Helm: minos, eventually can be replaced. Aiming Chromo epic helm?
Bracer: Necro DC bracers right now, aiming Epic Chrono?
Goggles: GS conc opp
Cloak: Resistance cloak, aiming for Chrono Epic cloak?
Boots: swap slot
Necklace: aiming for Torc (epified)
Trinket: Crystal cove, for the excp int+2
Gloves: Bramble casters? Dunno, using for STR right now.
Ring 1: GFL right now, aim for?
Ring 2: int+6 and guild slot right now, aim for?
Belt: +6 con, aim for?

Looking for guides on it and not finding a ton... where are folks slotting that second Greensteel typically?

[jandhaer]

goggles only other option for me would be belt I reckon.

[Darknark]

I slot HP on goggles with conc opp.
Sp can go in a slot that will be swapped out (gloves,belt, etc) when the sp is used up.

[vraelliott]

Belt? Aren't the wizard ToD sets belts?

I'd say boots, goggles, or bracers.

[jandhaer]

5 piece abishai doesnt leave alot of options

[Alternative]

1. GS Helm with heavy fort, slot toughness on epic envenomed cloak.
2. ...
3. profit

That means no 5pc Abishai.

I slot BOTH my HP and SP item on goggles...

It's a pain... I have to remember to switch all the time when I shrine and after I buff, but it's the best way to consolidate inventory slots...

So I wear the SP goggles when I shrine, then I buff, and I switch to the HP/Conc Opp goggles until the next shrine.

I'd say boots, goggles, or bracers.

Careful with choosing Boots!!!
(You're going to have to remove them to run Tower of Despair)

Yeah, other than that one, I can't think of a place where you would HAVE to remove them..
I didn't even think about this until AFTER I completed my con-opp boots..


*sigh*

[Habreno]

Going to agree with goggles here. Hate to say it but another Conc-Op item is in order for you.

[sumnz]

Well I went necro, and since the necr forms give heavy fort, I dident need the minos anymore so put it there.

[Vellrad]

Belt? Aren't the wizard ToD sets belts?

Yes, sets to be evaded at all cost.

[Phidius]

...
Ring 1: GFL right now, aim for?
Ring 2: int+6 and guild slot right now, aim for?
Belt: +6 con, aim for?
...

Ring1 would be freed up if you get one of the Amrath Belts that have Con +6 and GFL.

My luck has been pretty weird with those belts. Some get them on the first run, others grind and grind for nothing.

You could run ToD a bunch looking for one of the Int +6 Exceptional Int + 1. You could even free up your trinket slot by puting Exceptional Int +2 on the ring also.

[inggold]

K, so what are folks using for rings?

[LordRavnos]

Its not for everyone of course, but my wizard does not want epic gear so I slotted it on my cloak and have yet to regret it. Only answering since your asked where wizards were putting there second GS item to give you reference.

[GotSomeQuestions]

Careful with choosing Boots!!!
(You're going to have to remove them to run Tower of Despair)

I really like using boots as a swap-item, for situationally powerful effects: 33% Fire Absorb from Firestorm Greaves, Freedom of Movement from Kundarak Delving Boots, ToD anchoring from Boots of Anchoring, etc.

If you're not going for a full slate of epic items, bracers and cloak are probably the least painful slots to give up, or, as mentioned, you can make a MinII helm. But anything beyond goggles will mean giving something up.

[Vellrad]

K, so what are folks using for rings?

I don't know other people, but on ring I got greater enchantment focus of persuasion (with small guild slot), and on 2nd I got verik's ring (with +2 exceptional constitution slotted).

[Alternative]

That means no 5pc Abishai.

And? 5 piece gives very little to a wizard, 3 con might look nice but my human can self buff to 617hp and there are still options to go higher. +3 conjuration DC that doesnt stack with epic inner sight or epic diabolist robe/docent and all wizards use one of those two.

Oh, and don't know about archmage ToD set, but the Pale Master set is pretty cool if you like your aura to heal for more than just sup potency and not having to worry about nihil pots/clickies.

Make a GS helm, seriously.

[gerardIII]

My Drow Palemaster:

Armor: epic diabolist robe with +1 exc Int and Toughness
Helm: epic helm of frost
Bracer: GS HP ConcOpp
Goggles: for now +6 Int with large guild slot +20hp
Cloak: epic envenomed cloak
Boots: epic boots of corrosion with +1 exc Con
Necklace: Torin's choker (for the sup potency VI when i swap to Dreamspitter)
Trinket: Crystal cove, for the excp int+2
Gloves: Lit 2 GS SP gloves
Ring 1: FF ring of jumping/UWA Ring
Ring 2: Ring of Thelis
Belt: GFL belt with small guild slot +40 sp

On PM the cheaper Pos/Pos/Pos, Air/Air/Air or Earth/Earth/Earth are also worth considering.
