Any news on updating the resists on t7 gear?

[swedago]

<DIV>Seems to me a lot was left out when KoS came out.  Resists on the crafted, dropped and Relic gear needs a major updagrade IMO.</DIV>

[Formangenavn]

Keep in mind that some classes buff resist. Increase the resist on items and those buffs will become even more useless.

Not to mention potions.  <div></div>

I think resists are very well done on T7 gear. If you want to max out your resists, there's more than enough excellent T7 resist gear, but not every piece needs high resists.

<P>T7 armor stats were changed last LU, have you looked at it since then?</P> <P>And like They say, it's all about choices <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

<DIV>Err...yeah, what they said.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A couple examples...Light Chitin Ring (drops off the Devourer in the Den), Small Feather Earring (can't remember where, but it's a treasured drop in Palace of the Awakened).  These are ones that I use and they make a WORLD of difference.  I'm certain there are numerous other examples out there too.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Lord Montague on <span class=date_text>05-05-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:06 PM</span>

<P>Actually quite a bit of T7 gear remains w/o resistances of any type.  Here's a couple examples of some of the gear that I'm currently running around in:</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=121391" target=_blank>Mitts of the Restrainer</A></P> <P><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=121462" target=_blank>Hardened Arm Wraps</A></P> <P><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=129083" target=_blank>Wisdom of the Taloend Vigil</A></P> <P><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=122255" target=_blank>Pristine Talored Horned Leather Bandolier</A></P> <P><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=124572" target=_blank>Ravasectian Shredder</A></P> <P><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=124638" target=_blank>Strifewing Clawed Fist</A></P> <P> </P> <P>Perhaps I'm reaching selinity early, but IIRC virtually every piece of gear in the previous 6 tiers of the game had some sort of resistance on it.  It may not have been great, but it was something.  Now I agree that all gear shouldn't have insane resists because that'd make buffs, potions, etc useless and would also take some of the challenge out of many encounters.  However, all gear should have something resembling a resistance IMO.</P>

Hrm, weapons don't have resists in nearly 99% of cases, so hey go ahead and link them. As for the rest of the gear in T7, you make the trade FT/stats for resists, or resists for stats and so on. The non-raiding gear is setup perfectly, and should not be changed(except for the CoP's huge mitigation amount).

Thus, we are left with what we have now.

Personally, I love the new system.  I actually have to think about which piece of gear is the better on to get based on how I am playing.  As a wizard, I used to only have one set that I always wore, now I have a bunch of pieces that I can switch out based on the situation.Tialored Dragon's Breath is great armor to fill in gaps.  Each piece has around 2400 in resists, nothing has even come close to that in previous tiers.<div></div>

The trade off is simple - many items dropped and quested in T7 have resists to most or all:<a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=126003" target=_blank>Earring of the Expanding Mind</a><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=124974" target=_blank>Ethereal Buckler of Bylze</a><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=123098" target=_blank>Chitin Plated Guantlets</a><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=125737" target=_blank>Hoo'Loh's Faithful Helm</a><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=123102" target=_blank>Light Chitin Ring</a><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/item.vm?itemId=125573" target=_blank>Firanvious Eye</a><div></div>
