Tier 8 best of equip pre-raid

[darpger]

I am trying to come up with a wish list of equipment that can all be gotten from a single group kill at 80. Also it would serve as a best of armor set to get ready for t8 raiding. If anyone has some suggestions as to changes that could be made to this I would really appreciate it. I also understand that for a good guild this set up would be far from required and adornments would be lost due to raid upgrades. But to be honest, I'm just getting ready to raid and don't actually expect to do so for a while.Head: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-523833532" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sallet of the Reet Knight</span></a> +100 power adornChest: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/1654985881" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Breastplate of Ravaged Onslaught</a> +7 all stats adornShoulders: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/296465230" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mantle of the Jarsath Tribe</a> +100hps adornForearms: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-61520915" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Armguards of the Elite Yha-lei Shock Troops</a> +8 parry adornHands: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-1912653195" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gauntlets of Ravaged Onslaught</a> + 16 agi adornWaist: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/2126593866" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Baldric of the Di'Zok Warlord</a> +30 combat art adorn (maybe a better adorn)Legs: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-695422440" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Greaves of Ravaged Onslaught</a> + 16 stam adornFeet: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-328020099" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sabatons of Ravaged Onslaught</a> + 16 stam adornBack: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/159279298" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cape of the Vikomt</a> + 4 power regen adornPrimary: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-323141217" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vel'Arek</a> + 3% riposte/parry adornSecondary: (tower spec) <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-734992861" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Atronix, Heirloom of the General</a> + 1% Block adorn                   (buckler) <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-681646465" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Festering Flesh Buckler</a> +76 damage shield adorn (could do block instead as well)Range: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-1692779064" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Warlord's Long Bow of Defense</a> + 12 dps adornEarring: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-873533372" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Earring of the Wastes Hunter (now changed from proc to mana/hp regen)</a> + resist adornEarring: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/109255345" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sarnak Earring of Station</a> + resist adornNeck: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/717281040" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ganak's Torque</a> + 12 dps adornWrist: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-943605737" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Skleross Bands of Glory (now a ds proc)</a> + 3% block adornWrist: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-316707994" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nak'azar Brigade Bracers</a> + 3% block adornFinger: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-1849211307" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Band of Thuuga</a> +100 hps adornFinger: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/-79216311" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lost Ring of the Tides</a>  + 100hps adornCharm: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/41729229" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Scale of the Leviathan</a>Charm: <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/505019253" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Drolvarg Weapons Emblem</a>Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I wasn't sure about the proc on the completed set armor and if it'd even be worth the loss of stats from those pieces I've replaced. Also I now know some t7 raid instances can be done with single groups so maybe some raid pieces can be gained from those zones. ConquesoLevel 80 guardian of AB

So, you kept three pieces of ravaged onslaught for the CA bonus correct? <a href="aITEM -2130435569 1370360666:Boots of the Wastes Hunter/a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boots of the Wastes Hunter</a> are a good replacement for the legendary set boots if you don't need the +slashing. Good bit more hp/str/power and a bit more mit if you're lacking. Though with the above stuff you should be well into the diminishing returns curve. The <a href="aITEM -1722700717 2037131377:Kindred Cloak of the Warrior/a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kindred Cloak of the Warrior</a> is a good cloak from MMIS, which can be taken down by even casual guilds up to Mayong.The <a href="aITEM 1041230589 1895836206:Ancient Targetting Drape/a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ancient Targeting Drape</a> is also decent for a groupable cloak.The <a href="aITEM 742094460 295312767:Apis Thorax Breastplate/a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apis Thorax Breastplate</a> is awesome once you're able to drop named in EH. I could go on and on, but I'm sure ya know how to use the search function of LootDB.com, so I'll just leave with these above suggestions.

Thanks so much for your answer Ferunnia. Yes I kept some set armor for the ca bonus however I wasn't sure if the full set bonus was worth it or not. Those are all wonderful items, the targeting would be very doable. But when I say all of these items must be reachable by a single group, I'm talking about a pick-up group. My current guild has 3 level 80s and only 2 are actively played at the moment and that would be me and my wife. For raids I would have to wait and hope for a pick-up raid or start one myself as finding a pick-up raid is usually sponsored by a guild whom brings their own main tank. As far as the wastes hunter boots, I've already selected the earring. Thanks again for your response!<span class="postbody">ConquesoLevel 80 guardian of AB</span>

<p>Try looking for the Incardine Earring - drops of the Quenn in Chardok. Best tank earring I have seen.</p><p>+6 def, +6 parry.</p>

For wrists <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/2079592809" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shackles of the Court</a> I'd say that 6 parry 3 def is better than 6 def 3 parry <a href="http://www.lootdb.com/eq2/item/2079592809" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>

ok there are a few changes i would make to that list: Feet: Boots of the Wastes HunterBuckler: Abominable CrestEar: Droag Talon PlugsEar: Incarnadine EarringFinger:  Immortal Brigade Ring (keep Band of Thuuga)Wrist: Shackle of the Court (keep Nak'azar Brigade Bracers)

[Wilin]

I'd definitely take the Boots of the Waste Hunter rather than the Ravaged Onslaught. That still leaves you with 3 pieces of Ravaged for the +75CA damage.

[Ferunnia]

Aye, but as he said, he's already taken the other wastes hunter reward.
