Adornments ... what to put where?

[WizzyPat]

<p>Hello everyone.</p><p> I'm not a big poster here but I read almost every thread on the first page at least once a week to make sure I keep up with what my Assassin should be doing. The only thing I haven't seen yet, or that just slipped by, is what adornment is best to use in each slots. I have several spots where it's a given and some where I'm not sure what would be best. So I'll list what I think is best for each and I would like you guys input telling me if my choices are good or if something else would be best.</p><ul><li>Head : +16 Wis</li><li>Cloak : 40% Reduce Falling Damage</li><li>Shoulders : +100 hps</li><li>Chest : +7 to all stats</li><li>Forearms : +8 Parry</li><li>Hands : +2 Ranged Crit </li><li>Waist : +3 Attack Speed</li><li>Legs : +16 Sta</li><li>Feet : +16 Sta</li><li>Rings : +100 hps</li><li>Wrists : Alot of good choices here - Heal on Parry Proc, +16 Str, +16 Sta, +16 Int, +30 CA Damage</li><li>Ears : +16 Int</li><li>Neck : +1 Melee Crit</li><li>Primary Weapon : I'm really not sure here</li><li>Bow : +DPS</li></ul><p>Discuss <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Thanks for your replies Brimestar and WhiteBear.</p><p> I have 1 new qestions regarding choices you've given me. I was thinking of putting 100hps on shoulders and +16 sta on Legs and feet because I had the feeling that I'd be high enough in str and agi by lvl 80 that hps would serve me better.</p><p> Am I wrong? Isn't there a point where you have enough str/agi that the group/raid buffs will bring you to the max of the return curve?</p><p>Thanks again <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

IMO if you are in a raid, you shouldn't have to worry about HP as much as DPS....So, I would go for the STR on the legs, but the shoulders I would keep the 100 hp to balance out the loss of the +16 STA.

tbh i never bothered too much about STA or AGI, it's nice to have them but not over STR or INT. If you have roughly 900-1k STR you surely will be capped on raid. As for HP's, you will have them buffed a bit so not much worries there aswell, most AOE's you will joust so there is nothing left that could oneshot you and if healers do their job, you can tank nameds for a while till tank takes them back <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Is there a snare or a stun one for Bow/ranged?
