Wilderness or Combatant TSO Gear?

[Mordith]

<p>I don't raid and typically only group with my guild so I am typically not the MT, though it happens on occassion. It seems I should go more for the Wilderness gear for better dps, but not sure if that would be better for my circumstances.</p><p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Wilderness shoulders and 3 set for the win.   CA and spell damage bonusses rock. </p>

The rest of the stats are garbage as theres nothing at all defensive on them.</span></p>

<p>Theres nothing garbage at all about the wilderness set, if your going for the 3-set bonus.  Just because it's not a tanking set doesn't make it garbage IMO. </p>

<p>The times I tank are very very limited.  When grouped it is typically with my guild where I am just dps unless the MT goes down and I have to tank for a bit.  Other than that, I just solo around.</p><p>I currently have a full set of the Combatant gear and have about 40 shards saved up. I am trying to figure out whether to now get into the Jin Drake or the Wild Cry sets.  If I go Wild Cry, I obviously need to first invest in Wilderness.</p><p>Thanks for any input.</p>

As Crab say, get the 3 set from Wilderness, it rocks for sure.. Just make sure you get the 3 most dps minded, without loosing the 3 most defensive ones from the other set..

Wilderness Shoulders, Gloves and boots = a nice dps boost (Aggro control also), and you can still wear the 4 most defensive of the tank ones.. If you do not have acces to raid gear that is..

<p>Tanks having DPS gear is absolutely not garbage.  Bruisers get their hate through DPS, so without DPS gear how do you expect a bruiser to hold aggro against GOOD assasins, wizards and that sort?</p>
