Why anyone must want +2 exceptional CON when can get +2 Alchemical INT and +6 Necro DC from LAC? 8)
Because alchemical items have become obsolete for most builds. If you're looking for a shield, ok, alchemical might not be bad. But a +2 int alch is not a big deal. If you want DC, you can make an IoD staff that gives you a unique +2 DC and in which you can put legendary affirmation, which is a lifesaver in high reaper. Or if you want to carry two weapons, like I do, it allows you to switch between legendary affirmation and various debuffs that are really useful in high difficulty and raids, and next to which a +1 to the DC is... nothing.
Do u want +6 necro? Use an augment. IoD items (weapons too) have 2 augment slots.
There are people who are obsessed with getting the highest DC possible. My standard is: is my DC enough to kill the mobs? If the answer is yes, the rest is overkill and is better used in spell dps.
Very arguable. Both Masterful Magewright and Legendary Wrath/Perfect Wrath or even Legendary Saltmarsh is better because don't waste precious armor slot.
Let's see, I think you haven't read me. There is no perfect set, but it depends on how you play your character. Masterwright is a fine set if your PM is just DC focused, but if your PM is an all-round wizard like mine is, completely self-sufficient on all difficulties, it falls very short. It has 0 spell damage bonuses, for one item more esoteric give me more useful stats. The best robe for me (for my build, not for all wizards) is the esoteric one. None of them give me what that one does (it has hidden more exceptional spellpower than the description), so I don't care if it blocks my armor slot.
Now Magewright is not an exceptional set either. It's only 2 items, but the cloak is now a coveted slot. It gives +6 school dc to enchantment and illusion, but now there are augments that give you that. And one of the items waste two stats in Cha, which as a wizard does not give me any benefit.
In short, it is an ok set but not exceptional for all-DC wizard (it was very good before IoD, because then there were no spell DC augments and no competitive cloaks). For a wizard who is mostly DC but with a dps that allows solo any quest in any difficult, it is not the best choice. That doesn't mean your choice is bad, DDO doesn't have a single perfect set. If it allows you to play how you want to play, it is the right choice for you.
I have a set in the bank. And thousands of runes in the bank with which I could buy it back. It's not useful to me.
Legendary saltmarsh is literally legendary garbage for me. We already talked about this in another topic and I told you why.
Legendary wrath is worse. Look at the items, how many useful enchantments you receive in total. Do you really want to waste 3 items like that? Legendary Night Hag's Heartstone would be a cool item if it weren't an artifact. Being an artifact, it has to compete with IoD artifacts, which give you +15 to int. There are tastes for everyone, but do you really find it more useful than an dread or esoteric set, or the Sharn Docks set?
I'm still use Ender set at one my PM... and i'm not amazed. Yea, instakill and crit damage and +18% to HP... but LGS obsolete so gravely that any other appropriate gear just better.
Ender set has never been good for PM caster. It takes up 5 slots and that has always been overkill, even when ender was a good set (for other builds, not for wizard caster). Currently the set is quite obsolete for everyone (I suppose there may still be any build but in general).
I think you don't understand why I carry two items, and only two items, which by the way are not part of the ender set. It's because overall I get a good chunk of spell points, between the set and the profane bonus. It's because I get a nice bonus to spellcraft, which controls my spell damage. And it's because one of the items gives me the same thing that an IoD item could give me: critical damage to negative. For two items, it gives me things that I value. If you only play on low difficulty or in groups, you may not value spell points. If you play on high difficulty as a solo or duo, you will value them much more. When you don't have anyone to kill those pesky doom or inflated HP bosses for you, believe me, you value them. So, this LGS may not be suitable for you. For me I already think it does its job.
EinarMal's is a good set too, it gives you a lot of useful bonus. Ender... my advice would be to change it.
In another thread I read that you said that you only have 40 reaper points or something like that. That means you don't play high reaper much, which may explain why the two of us have very different perspectives on what is useful. As I said, in DDO there is no master set for the gear. Depending on how you play, there are configurations that are more useful than others, and there may even be several good configurations for the same character.
I was in the process of updating my equipment with the new chronoscope augment set, but seeing myth drannor so near, I passed. I'm not going to spend my precious reaper shards to change everything in a few months. It's not like my current equipment doesn't work, after all.
