I would get the 400hp for shoulder slot.Also I THINK theres a 100hp/100power ring slot, or it may just be 100 to either or hp/power. (there was 100/100 ones in beta)Also for soloing I would get a stun proc for your main hand piercer and the +12 disease one for offhand. Also get the cheap shot aa to 5 asap, the extra stun time will let you land 1-2 more back attacks.I plan on taking all str in the slots available, and haste > dps mod in the other slots. Also hp over power in every spot possible. I plan doing the +12 disease damage for each weapon once I get a new offhander that im going to keep for a while.I dont switch gear for soloing nor do I have a backup set so, I plan on going with one setup all the time and when I do buy all the adornment, ill be sure to post about it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Henladar Bloodheart ~]

Unless it gets nerfed... thr extra dmg per melee attack is the way to go. Think about it... an extra 92 dmg per weapon swing. It adds up.

[Mr. Dawki]

<P>yes added dmg per hit does add up thats why i took poison as i can debuff a mob about 3500 vs poison. add intoxification plus caustic and added dmg per swing...........he not guna like me no mo.</P>

[HazNpho]

I was under the impression you could not put anything on imbued items, or have you forgone Lambent, Sanguine, Gleaming and Aura's?<div></div>

It is a proc, and it works very well.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Skratttt]

Yah the base is 73 at 565 str with 180 int......they crit on the 52% modifier for us FTW  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />...you really feel the benefit of them when auto atacking with fast weapons and lotsa haste <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Recca[BK]]

enjoy it while you can, im pretty sure it is supposed to be a dmg shield, since the same adornment for a shield is a dmg shield. but for now that adorn is godly.

[Mr. Dawki]

<P>its been nerfed to 91 dmg per hit not a dmg shield and WHO CARES</P> <P>all the casters get their symetry things so its only fair for mele to get stuff to put on their armor as well as on their weps</P>

[Bugah]

Well the nerf / fix finally came through.  I logged in today to see my shoulder have a 54 point damage shield rather than the melee proc.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Theonol]

<DIV>Great list ty for the info :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

[pseudocide]

<DIV>yoyo you are a noob and you smell bad</DIV>

[blurryfast]

<DIV>what does everyone think of 2% attack speed increase or melee crit chance (1%?) instead of the 10% dps on the neck slot?</DIV>

[Mordacion]

<DIV>crit chance is tempting.</DIV>

[Mr. Dawki]

yoyo you are a noob and you smell bad <HR> Yeah I know :smileysad:

[blurryfast]

<DIV>do the 2 spry's stack (waist and neck)?</DIV>

[Siclone]

<P>its my understanding this adornments dont work if the item you have on already has "effects"</P> <P>not sure if this is true it, sounds right, and if this is true</P> <P>does anyone have equipment that does not have some type of effect? I dont.</P> <P>So I guess I really dont see the point in adornments,,,,i cant wear em,,,so who cares if they are in the game,,</P> <P>I might be missing something here, still trying to fiqure it all out.  </P> <P> </P>

[Mr. Dawki]

what does everyone think of 2% attack speed increase or melee crit chance (1%?) instead of the 10% dps on the neck slot? <DIV> <HR> </DIV> <P>we might want to forget about the hast and stick with the dps as the adornments do not stack with already worn haste.....which is BS</P> <P>so extra 10% dps on one slot and thats it</P>

[HellRaiserXX]

You can put adornments on items with other effects as long as they arent from a quest.

[snack-machine]

<DIV>Actually, you can put adornments on items you receive from quests. I have adorned Grizz weapon with an additional dmg proc, as well as adorned the MoA and they both work fine. I've read that you can not adorn Heritage Quest rewards.....but normal quested items you can.</DIV>

[Kaiser Sigma]

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Not entirely, true. You cannot adorn any of the rewards from Claymore quests.</FONT></DIV>

[Homerb]

<div></div>Ok, now that we have had time to try out some adornments, what do you suggest? My main question is like do adornments to bows, like +12 pierceing, only effect the bow shots? Does +12 on each weapon stack? etc.So what do you guys use?Daggerz<div></div>

[Graton]

*bump* we need this stickied. <div></div>

[Mr. Dawki]

<P>try using the +12 dmg adornments, i use poison because we debuff twards that<BR>however they are not affected by debuffs atm so get what you want</P> <P>in the long run i have noticed better poison dmg comming out of the added dmg rather than the proc adornments</P> <P>the added dmg adornments also work on ca's (the main hand we adornment will prok of a ca)</P>

[Outerspace]

some of the adornments listed have been changed. for example the +14 parry to forearm was nerfed to +7.<div></div>
