BP at 70

[jfhoun]

<DIV>Fresh off all the good ideas for Two Handed Weapons at 70, here is another question for the group.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I carry the Awakened Scalelord BP, Cuirass of Protection and Breastplate of the Watchman and wear them according to the situation.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know there are better BPs out there and am very interested in what each of you consider to be the best paladin BP at 70 (e.g., Relic, Firebrand, etc).  Assume the paladin is in a T7 raiding guild and that the paladin is NOT the MA.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bonus question:  which of the three BPs that I carry would you wear most often in a raid?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Good hunting and thanks for the input.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Justinious</DIV>

<P>I carry a COP, Awakened Scalelord and the one from the Claymore line. Reasons:</P> <P>COP: When MT and for resists when needed</P> <P>Awakened Scalelord: My raiding BP if i'm not MT. The FT and stats sell it for me.</P> <P>Claymore: Resists, but mostly it matches my outfit the best, so I put it on when I'm just goofin around and want to look cute. :smileyvery-happy:</P>

<DIV>Most of the time I wear the Cuirass of Shadowfire, unless of course I need to MT and am forced to grab every ounce of Mitigation I can, in which case it begins and ends with the CoP.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When I won't be tanking, to be honest, I try to max Int. Oftentimes a robe is best suited for that and I have one of those too.</DIV>

[jfhoun]

<DIV>Great ideas.  Where does the Curiass of Shadowfire drop and from what mob?  Also, when going for max INT, what robe do you use?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks again.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Justinious</DIV>

Definately the Cuirass of Shadowfire. Highest base Mit in the game with 596 with good stats as well.

Black lotus breastplate have 676 base mitigation. Still Curiass of protection wins.

<DIV>Black Lotus had its Mit nerfed into oblivion on test. CoS drops in Halls of Seeing.</DIV>

<DIV>please dont talk about Black Lotus nerf, im in depression :smileysad:</DIV>

<P>I am typically secondary main tank, I have a swashy hate transfer me and put amends on a dps class.  If MT goes down I instantly get agro everytime.  For that reason I use CoP almost all the time.  Also I typically tank group instances.</P> <P>It is depressing how CoP isnt really upgraded, but thats an entirely different subject <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

Fixed a while ago, I think. Though you still can't stack them; Swarthy X from a swash + Amends on the same swash won't dump you 65% of their hate. <div></div>

<DIV>Back to the INT comment made earlier, for the longest time I had a full set of the purple cloth stuff that drops in SOS, each piece has 20 INT on it and is dirt cheap.  The problem is when I was wearing this stuff, I was MA, my mit buff went on the MT, and although I hit like a wizard... I also went down like one.  I've since been upgrading to Xegonite devout, each piece has 16 int, so you lose 28 on the set, but you could also take a beating.  I also found my INT was always maxed out in these situations so I could afford to drop the 28.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For those of you who are looking for a DPS boost, going INT is the way to go, my dps has gone up a min 30% (more with spell crits), in the right raid situation I can often be found in the top 10 dps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Right now my MT chest piece is the CoP, again, they are relatively cheap and will do you until you get lucky.</DIV>
