<div>Anyone else notice the apparent lack of resists on T7 gear? Yes, I've seen the resist jewelry that has some very nice resists on it...along with crapy stats. It's looking like they want you to choose stats OR resists. You can't have both. Most the nice armor and weapons dropping out there are completely devoit of resists. I'm not saying the resists are low, I'm saying they are completely gone. Is this a bit strange? Does SoE want you to carry three large bags of armor/jewelry for each different mob/situation? If so, this is getting just a little ridiculous.</div><div> </div><div>Raiders, how are you planning to adjust to this weird loot situation? It's almost like you have to decide on mitigation OR resists as well. That makes for some really messed up combinations.</div><div> </div><div>Thoughts? Observations?</div><div> </div><div>Bjoern</div>

I cant say i've seen the same thing.Between high level treasured and legendary (level 66+ to equip) even the treasured has some insane resists.Typical legendary loot i'm seeing now thats equipable at lvl 67-69 has two-four resists usually between 850-1100.There's an incredible ring from Palace of awakened that adds 850 (or was it 950?) to five resists.Honestly the way i see loot going atm, getting full one groupable legendary, and your resists will all sit around 3-5k.thats not even getting into the raid loot. Thats just stuff you can get with one group, level 67+<div></div>

<div></div><p>I'm glad to hear this. I'll have to catch the stats off the few items I've found that I'm referring to. One is the kettlekeepers helm out of the nest. Another is a bracer that falls in the armory in the sanctum. Both have nice mitigation, due to the +63 to slash/crush/pierce, but no resists. And if it wasn't for that +63, the base mitigation is lower than Cobalt.</p><p>Bjoern</p>
Well, the gear you're talking about really isn't all that good. When you start doing harder things (even just the harder instances) you'll start to get gear with stats and really nice resists (some with 1k+)<div></div>

<div></div><p>Fantastic! To which instances are you referring so that I can put them on my to do list? </p><p>Oh, and I got the same reaction when I saw the T7 rare Acrylia jewelry. At first glance it was....'nice stats'....then 'where the heck are the resists?'. That alone makes the acrylia jewelry set about useless to us tanks. No wonder the acrylia clusters are going for almost as low as 1p on my server.</p><p>What you said also explains why the pieces I am referring to are selling in the low gold on my server as well, even though the net mitigation is better than pristine cobalt.</p><p>Bjoern</p>

Check out Blacksacle Sepulcher, HoF, Palace of Awakened, Den of Devour.All those instances have dropped some very nice gear. Even some gear that i have swapped for my t6 fabled.<div></div>

I agree, it sucks. None of the T7 crafted armor appeals to me at all, not even the rare stuff. It's all junk as far as I'm concerned. My T6 fabled is way better and so is my cobalt even, which I find really strange. I have seen a couple of pieces of legendary dropped armor that are really nice though, with both stats and resists on it and decent mit too.<div></div>
