Xenogite or Dexterous dragon T7?

[DemosEye]

Hey, Just recently bought a full set of dexterous dragonhide leather armor for my swashie, it gives +20 agi +20 str, along with the health and resists in the 200's.  Just wondering am I losing out against players around my level (63) using xenogite armor?  Although they have less health and power stats, it seems that those around my level have the same if not more avoidance then me even though they use heavier armor?  Is this because they have the last tier agi AA or am I missing something?  My avoidance is currently 40% with agi and str in the early 400's. And it is in my nature to buy sets of armor then realise i made a mistake :p <div></div>

don't know if it still has, or if it is going to have after tonight with LU24 and the new AP, but xegonite chain used to have +1 defense per piece, that +7 for the full set, might be the difference you are seeing, they could also have higher agi than you, either from other gear or higher quality self buff.Another thing, do you solo much? if you don't your defense skill might not be maxed out.How far into 63 are you, +1 to skills max for every 20% exp, so others you are seeing could be at 80%+ where you might be at 10%, thats an extra 4 points of defense they can have above you and therefore have a higher avoidance against the same level mobs.Personally I didn't go with any Xegonite, I mostly went with instance zone legendary drops, much higher mit than xegonite.<div></div>

I live to solo <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I group only about 10% of the time, I'm too much of a fan of quest lines and hate waiting around for groups.  When I first noticed this i was about 20% but now I am about 10% away tnl at 40% avoidance.  My defence is definately maxed. Wonder if anybody actually knows what the defence difference is between xeno and the dexterous set on a single player? (does the +1 defence in xeno stats equal the defence given for dexterous being leather). Although I could spend another 10p on a xeno set i dont think I will <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Just curious.  And I doubt ill be able to get a decent set of legendary instance drops since I hardly group, also the mitigation it seems is only about 100-200 more overall between the two. <div></div>

check the broker, alot of the legendary drops that are tradable are so common now that they sell for under 20g a piece on my server, would be very dependant on your server economy though.<div></div>
