FBSS and Journeymans Boots, still wearing em?

Dashel · 10-16-2005, 10:31 PM

Well I had my cobalt boots made up last night, kinda miss the JBoots boost of speed but I suppose I can always swap. How about the FBSS though? Other than fabled items are there any upgrades to a haste item?

i never wore either one of them because i didn't like the stats or the resists on them

currently i wear cobalt vanguard sabatons and a vanadium girdle, which i think are quit nice

Im a BIG believer in the FBSS myself, and i still wear my JBoots (mostly cause of the speed stuff) and i'm level 51 (more'n halfway to 52).

Theres better boots out there stat wise, but i like the stats + the mit + the speed bonus (which to me is near priceless, it will take something with far better str + sta or str + agi plus better mit). As for the FBSS I love the haste, same deal as with the boots. I figure if i can't get my mit up with my other gear, and my stats right with all that other stuff, then i'm doing something wrong to begin with.

I'm currently still using both at lvl 50 when I get to lvl 55 I think it is I'll buy the Sabatons of the Conqueror but the 15% haste on the FBSS is too good to not have equipped, I guess if you get a vanadium belt made taht would be a worthy replacement but since I have yet to see 1 vanadium drop in mining over 2000 pieces of berrulym and the nave stuff but whatever.

Im wearing full cobalt and full vanadium but i still wear the FBSS for the haste (only piece not vanadium) and for the boots i switch back and forth, when in combat (always have one bag open with potions, shield, 1h, ect) anyway, when in combat i just double click the cobalt boots, when battle is done, i throw back on the speeder boots. Also in the begining of a battle I stay duel wield and offencive stance, when i hit orange ill thow on def stance, shield and 1h or just leave one of my cobalt cresent axes on. and hit some of the other def. buffs seems to work real well for me, By the time i hit orange health the mob is jsut about dead. With a healer in the group ill just stay in Off stance with duel wields. I'm loveing the new Zerker.
