Ok, what's the best thing I can quest for, or camp for, or make for my Bruiser when he hits level 30 or 32?
 
I've got a Tailor high enough to make Tier 4 rare leather armor. I can work on rare jewellery.
 
Is that the best I can make? I like to solo in Fallen Gate and Nektulos currently, will be working my way towards Split Paw and Varsoon's soon, perhaps even RunnyEye.
 
I'm finding myself getting bloodied quite badly just killing 20-21 Heroics atm. (Not named) and I'm wearing a full set of Tier 3 rare leather armor now and using Tier 3 rare wood batons.
 
I understand the combat system has really hurt us, and that I'm working against diminishing returns, but there are (In theory) returns nonetheless right?
 
So what's the MAX Avoidance and DPS setup I can put together for level 32? (I don't want to redo the expensive setup I have for Tier 3, so I'd rather work on the future.)
 
Thanks for any expertise you may have to share!

are they triple up heroics ? cause im a 26 bruiser and i can savely solo anything without 3 up arrows in a decent con range, and my gear really is laughable still. i do notice however that with a triple up even from the lowest con i will be having a ton of problems on my hand.im not sure how high a bruisers avoidance can get, at max in defensive its only at 52% or something for me, but like i said my gear stems mostly from my lvl 10 gear upgrade and am doingthe armor quest slowly.personally im going to aim for the best str/agi/sta craftables i can find for when i hit 30 or 32. believe there is dexterous mastercraft or something, will just have to find me a way to get those rares :p

Well, to give yourselves the best chance, not only go with Mastercrafted Armor, but MC Jewlrey too.....and A3 spells if possible. Other than that, look at what the mobs are doing to you who you have a hard time with and if they are killin you with Poison, stay in Def stance for the major Poison Mit. Have fun.:smileywink:

Oh, and the Dex armor doesnt have imbued legs or chest, so they equal out to the other rare armor non dex but has imbued.

The heroics that I have trouble with are usually ^^^. I can beat them, but it's a bloody mess.I went with the +Sta, +Agi, +Str armor as well.I just dinged 28 this morning and scribed my Adept 3 feign death upgrade. I've got Master 1 of my self heal, Master 2 of my Wild Swing. I'm pretty sure my Defensive and Offensive stances were Adept 3's or better. (I'll have to check though)So Mastercrafted armor, weapons and jewellery is the best I can shoot for?I'm good with that I suppose. Some of my jewellery is pretty sad at the moment.

That chestpiece is equppable at lvl 33 and in my opinion is the single best piece of armor I have ever had.  It is especially handy if you like to dungeon crawl and solo green nameds.  In fact,  if the proc would still work on mobs higher than 45 I would still be wearing it at lvl 70.....only in certain situations of course.

Another nice thing that drops fairly commonly in RoV is Rescue Master1 off the named spider at beginning of zone.
