Much appreciated. I think that just leaves a couple open questions:</p><p>If the DPS adornments stack I will assume the haste adornments stack. Someone please jump in if that is not right.</p><p>If anyone has strong feelings/tests on which of those neck adornments is best (10 DPS, 2% haste or 1% crits), I'd appreciate it as the cost difference is large to get the fabled crits (which look the worst to me).</p><p>Any confirmation on damage shield adornments working? I predominately solo and actually get hit a lot...</p>

My paladin has spiked straps on his shoulders.  They work fine.  Every time he's hit they proc a bit of damage.  (I'm not posting from my EQ2-playing computer, else I'd include a bit of log file.) They are considered a "spell", though, so your melee critical improvements won't make them proc harder.  But 69% spell criticals on a paladin make them look good. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>DPS adornments stack, as far as im aware the haste do not.</p><p>I'd get the DPS adornments over any other adornment and i wouldn't bother with the dmg shields at all.</p>

<p>Any opinion on the wrist (?) adornments that proc healing based on deflection, vs parry? I know the odds of deflection for bruisers is much higher than parry.</p><p>Anybody found value in these?</p>

[Ferous]

Deflection for sure over parry (first check and 360 degrees, I believe). If you are a soloer the heal proc adornment is definitely the way to go (along with vampirics for your weapons). If you primarily group/raid with healers then I would skip it and get the + mitigations to help them out.
