Upgrade Questions

[mccon]

I am hoping you guys can help me out, I am closing in on 50 (49.5) and with my focus shifting from grinding to raiding I have begun rethinking my gear and spells situation. My guild uses me as either OT or dps depending on the raid. So here is where I am currently sitting. Coin: Approx 7pp Rares: 2 Cedar 2 Ebon (disk and coin) A few imbueing items Spells: All are adept1 and Blood Rage is adept3 Armor: Head - Taw Ew Helm Chest - Pristine Imbued Ebon Shoulders - Pristine Imbued Ebon Wrists - Rubicite Gloves - Fulginate Pants - Pristine Imbued Ebon Boots - Jboots Neck - Curn Eye Earring - Fishbone Ring 1 - Ancient Slayers Ring of Sta Ring 2 - Ring of the far Runner Wrist 1 - Glowing Shards braclet Wrist 2 - Glowing Shards braclet Waist - FBSS Sheild - Pristine Imbued Cedar Tower sheild Dolls: 2x +12 Str 1x +11 Sta Weapons: SBD SSoY Herophants Crook Monsoon, sword of the swiftwind Pristine Imbued Cedar Shortbow Things of note: Prismatic - I speak elder dragon and my guild's current raid schedule would have me getting my prismatic weapon by this Sunday. All of my combat skills are maxed so I don't have a skill issue using any weapon. Questions 1 - Which prismatic do I pick? I had been leaning toward 2hs as my primary role had been dps but as I am getting closer to 50 that has shifted to OT and could easily include MT if raid attendance warrents it, which has caused me to rethink my choice. 2 - What do I do with my ebons? Should I replace my gloves and helmet with ebon or should I upgrade my weapons? 3 - What should I do with my cedars? I am thinking of getting atleast one pristine imbued cedar baton or quarterstaff and a pristine imbued 2h blunt till I can get an RGF. However my guild hits the angler every Saturday so its very possible I can get one soon, but one has not dropped for us in the last 3 Saturdays. 4 - Should I replace the slayer ring with a crafter ring till a fable drop or wait for a fable drop? 5 - Should I get a ruby to create a pristine imbued ring to replace far runner or stick with bloodstone? Which stat should I get if I get ruby? If I stick with bloodstone should I get all 3? Any thoughts or ideas would be most helpful. <div></div>

<P>Really, where you are at I'd suggest going for A.) Weapons with damage procs B.) Upgraded spells, (Adept III's of short recast timer attacks like mutilate, relentless battering, etc.) this assumes that you do not tank very often with groups and raids. Anarchy is also a great spell to get Adept 3 of, since it has a nice group damage proc and somewhat short recast. As far as rings go, using the T5 gems on imbued versions of what you have (i.e. imbued ruby ring of agility / strength) might be a bit of a waste until later when you have a few adept 3's in your repetoire. ( did I spell that right? o.o) </P> <P>Personally, as a bored 50 berserker not in raiding guild, I've been trying to obtain ebons for better armor, so I can solo and help people defeat quest mobs / tank well in a small group. I use the hierophant's crook when not tanking, kind of a crappy weapon, but the encounter damage proc goes off at a decent rate, and.. that's about it. for tanking, i use a imbued cedar club + shiny brass shield. Sure, they're crappy. But once again i'm not in a raid guild. So, I don't have uber stuff.</P> <P>Good luck with finding the right gear.</P> <P>Hoboslayer, 50 Berserker, Oasis</P>
