Any hope for Berserker/Warrior gear in EOF?

[Dimgl]

<font color="#00cc99">So what has everyone found out there? I am really, -really- dissapointed in what I've seen so far for warriors, so I'm hoping that I might be able to gain some hope by seeing what other people have found.I've run all the instances once just about, and been in a handful of dungeons and haven't seen a single item that I would consider an ugprade yet, or even a -sidegrade- yet, not in links in public channels, not on brokers, and not even on forum threads. On the flipside my group's Warlock has picked up a half dozen items, mostly spell damage, the Templar 3-4, mostly healing and symmetry, and the scouts have all found a piece or two of chain with crit boost or something useful. But for a pure class like we are, I've not seen anything yet.In fact, after the combat changes, I've found that the best plate gloves in the game may be the chitin ones from Den due to the +5 DEF and +5 Parry, spread of resists, and decent stats. The gloves actually increase my longevity significantly more than fabled plate gloves due to mitigation scaling back so harshly, but def and parry skill being -very- rewarding. This is painful when considered that it is probably the easiest piece of plate armor to aquire in T7 (always a dozen on the broker.)I've even taken a look at some of the PVP server sets, and I'm really dissapointed in what we get as Berserkers. While we get 2% melee crit, some classes get 9% chance to stun on every attack (which, yes, will work in PVE.)But the real kicker for me was a ring drop in Obelisk of Blight tonight, which actually brought me to write this post.A legendary ring called Signet of Light from Darkness dropped from the final boss. Usable by mages, priests, and paladin and sk. The paladin in my group rolled on it and won.10 AGI 30 WIS 30 INT, 50 HP 125 PP, 612 Heat, 612 Cold, 612 Divine, 612 Mental, 5 Minitstration5% chance when damaged to cast Divine Light - Deals 728-889 divine damage on target - heals caster for 580-708.It's affected by their spell and heal crit. This ring comes down to being a 40 point damage shield on average, and heals them for 32 health per hit on average too. Essentially a ring that drops damage taken by 32 a hit, and does 40 damage back. After crits we're looking at up to 1100 divine damage procs and 800-900 hp heals. This ring not only has -fantastic- stats for a legendary, it has amazing resists for a legendary, and a proc so powerful that I have never seen anything remotely like it in the entirety of EQ2, even in fabled gear. Tanks are hit hundreds if not thousands of times an instance run, and are often hit 15-20 times a fight against even solo content.Has anyone found anything even remotely this nice or powerful for warriors? Please tell me there are items like this out there that cater to our strengths. I've seen nothing but STR/AGI/STA plate that doesn't offer competitive resists, any DEF or parry skill, no procs, no bonuses, and no +slashing or other combat skill (which is now nearly mandatory for us if we want to stay in D stance.)A comparable ring to the one above listed for warriors would be something like:10 AGI 30 STA 30 STR, 125 HP, 50 PP, 612 to 4 resists, +5 DEF or +5 Parry5% chance when damaged to cast Crushing Will on target, dealing 700-900 crushing damage and warding caster for 600-700.Somehow I could never see us getting that kind of item though.</font><div></div>

I got a pretty nice legendary buckler that a guildy had drop for them in one of the instances. pretty decent stats, and 5 def. I like it a lot better than the archaic buckler I had since they nerfed the mit on it down to 30 something. I also got a legendary belt from mistmoore castle off of trash that has 5 def and a chance to proc 400 threat to the encounter on my melee attacks. And I saw a fabled buckler from freethinkers I think it was that was tank oriented for once.<div></div>

<P>Dim is right, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to tank in this game. I'm feeling more gimped by the day. I've tried twice to get to kill Slazz Dralax in Catle mistmoore and even with 2 healers its incredibly difficult. In full fabled gear I'm getting my [Removed for Content] handed to me on a plate. Yesterday however i watched a SK in legendary gear and some fabled soloing some of them in there and still had 100% health at the end.</P> <P>Something is very wrong here!</P>

I like MM castle very much. It has very little margin of error. Nizara was kind of difficult at first, but only from bad rolls of the RNG. With MM you can easily get over your head but if you play smart and have some decent gear the zone really isn't that bad. I have enjoyed my time in the zone a lot so far.

I also noticed today that my darn HOO'LAH HAT has more mitigation than my relic hat, I mean, [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn], more mit AND +def on a legendary quested item over fabled raid drop, just sad.<div></div>

Not too impressed with EoF non-raid loot for tanks so far, only good items i have seen are those 2 earrings, one from obelisk and the other one with +21 wis, sta &agi, + allmost 1k to magic and divine ect, never dropped for me ofcourse. And the legendary set armor isnt that great either, not bad ,but you got better or equal in KoS. Or have i just missed all the good ones?<div></div>

<P>I have to agree with the OP - the EoF gear is not better than anything I have from KoS. I have Claymore done up to the end of POA. I have 1 relic peice and Doomrage vambrances, and a fabled 2 hander for lyceem.</P> <P>All the gear I ahve seen from Crypt, Obliesk, acadiaence is not an upgrade.</P> <P>The chest from Crpyt looks good until I put it on - attack, mit, and resists all dropped so i put my Cuirass of protection back on. </P> <P>I have been a supporter of this expansion and even the "scaling back" of all classes based on the expectation of better gear in EoF, but that is not the case so far.</P> <P>I do not feel compelled to play anymore as there is nothing that is an upgrade. I have purchased 3 fabled adornments, but am waiting to see if we get any changes in the next 2 weeks before using them - cost me 12 plat each and dont want to waste the cash.</P> <P>My taunts are ADP 3  and Master 1s (3 and 2) and I stll get resisted approximately 50% of the time to blue and white mobs - this is not right IMO. Yes the mobs have less HP, but there are still almost 1 hitting me sometimes. The named in the instances are easier than some of the trash too.</P> <P>I am hoping for a few tweeks because otherwise i will have less reason to play - I am also hoping to see the gear from the Signature quests and hoping this provides some upgrades.</P>
