Have u considered Sora kell in your tetris?
> For the benefit of anyone visiting this thread, looking for suggestions for gear, who is not familiar with the Sora Kell set:
Legendary Wrath of Sora Kell (3 Pieces):
- +25 Artifact bonus to Universal Spell Power
- +30 Artifact bonus to Physical Resistance Rating
- +3 Artifact bonus to Hit and Damage
- +3 Artifact bonus to Imbue Dice
Legendary Perfected Wrath (3 Pieces):
- +3 Artifact bonus to all Ability Scores
- +15% Artifact bonus to Helplessness Damage
> Indeed I have, and decided no to for a few reasons:
- Sora kell came out around the time I had just finished planning and gearing several alts with the set up I posted in this thread
- the work involved in doing tetris all over again for all of those alts is ENORMOUS
- this set became available around the time Myth Drannor (and the timeframe for its release) was announced
- I gnerally wait to do any major gear tetris with the release of full expansions, such as Myth Drannor
- the bonuses provided by the items in the Sora Kell set are not particularly great
- the slots occupied by items clash with other important sets
> there are other important personal considerations I tend to abide by ref equipment are:
- I want to achieve things in my lifetime
- vast majority of weapon swaps for bonuses are absolutely out of question: annoying, irritating, not fun at all
- all my melees invest in some defensiveness and survival: being a soul stone is not only frustrating, but contribute zero DPS
- I play 23 alts: this isn't changing, it's just how I like it
- I need to have sets of 'standard equipment suites' that:
- fit a certain group of alts (e.g. DPS alts; THF combat style alts; etc.)
- is mostly sharable via the shared bank
- also include raid items, which are BTA, and so require considerable effort
- include several slotted augments, many of which are rare, and so require considerable effort
- can be achieved in a timeframe when they are still desirable, rather than when they are already obsolete
Those who have a bunch of active alts are most likely to fully appreciate how hard the tetris can be to make a set work for several alts, while still ensuring all key bonuses are included!
> the 'formula' I came up with for gearing several melee DPS alts (which fits the personal constraints listed above) gave me all I needed:
Legendary Part of the Family set (3 pieces):
- +15% Artifact bonus to Doublestrike
- +15 Artifact bonus to Melee Power
- +15% Artifact bonus to damage vs the Helpless
- +30% Artifact bonus to Fortification Bypass
Note: Items have highly relevant bonuses on them
= 3 slots used (out of 13 available for many builds: inc armor & weapon)
The Legendary Dread Isle's Curse (5 Pieces):
- +15 Profane bonus to Melee and Ranged Power
- +25 Profane bonus to Universal Spellpower
- +30 Profane Bonus to PRR
- +2 Profane bonus to Spell DC's
- +2 Profane bonus to All Ability Scores
- +4 Profane bonus to hit and damage
Note: Part of Family leaves helm and cloak free, and these are fully craftable in this set. The artefacts here are fully customisable too, and fit the free slots without considerable clash. This set allows the weapon to become a slot that counts for set bonuses.
= 8 slots used (out of 13 available for many builds: inc armor & weapon)
Augment set (3 pieces):
This is for defensiveness, which for me personally, is a must. My builds do not count of a ton of free defensiveness granted by past lives, mythical + reaper bonuses, and various other rare bonuses:
either:
OR
Note: still undecided which is the best out of the two, to be frankly honest
... but this leaves potential for others to tweak and add extra DPS/other bonuses, if that's what they prefer:
= 11 slots used (out of 13 available for many builds: inc armor & weapon)
> The other
2 slots have proven essential for squeezing rare DPS bonuses (insightful, quality, etc, as in the images below):
Gear Set bonuses:
All in all, it works great, and I don't personally feel Sora Kell would enhance this massively, considering Myth Drannor is around the corner
I'm not particularly interested in what has been 'decreed' by some as '
the meta', or '
best in slot' to be honest, but that's just me.
