With the addition of new 18/19 augs in anniversary mission what is the optimal Combination? Is it the soft cap increase arc dps? I’m leaning towards the ac softcap increase atm if I can get it to drop but I don’t want to short change myself in the long run. Any suggestions would be great I appreciate all of the previous advice as it’s helped a lot. I’ve currently knocked out charm aug, diplomatic papers, the type 18/19 without the effect the combat 18/19 and gnoll totem. It’s just a mad rush to catch up in these anniversary events especially as a tank (War)
Since you seem to be also fishing for other possible advise here are some items you should get, if you dont already. https://special.eqresource.com/rumorhasit.php Shrink ring (bracer) https://special.eqresource.com/arangerstale.php Clicky damage AE frontal cone https://special.eqresource.com/defendingknowledge.php Horn (old one) https://special.eqresource.com/cleansingtheground.php Cleansing Rod https://special.eqresource.com/deaddragons.php Necro bone rod https://special.eqresource.com/liquidcourage.php Helm trophy if you have availiable slots https://special.eqresource.com/pubcrawl.php Stein (awesome) https://special.eqresource.com/tsaphsdayoff.php Clicky portal to old wizard spires https://special.eqresource.com/lostbutnotforgotten.php Tent (another trophy) https://special.eqresource.com/unity.php Feather (on separate timer than horn) https://special.eqresource.com/whispersinthedark.php Shiny finder (more AA's!) Now when Fabled come out there might be Warrior specific items that may be worth getting, I cannot say what those would be. Tons of time to get these knocked out and most do not need a full group now-a-days. Most of the walk through's on eqresource are great and if you follow them it wont take much time either. https://special.eqresource.com/anniversary.php
Oooo that shiny finder is one that I didn’t know about. Most of those are on my todo list though. I’m just most curious about what 18/19 is best from this years event as I don’t know particularly much about the effects and what stacks or gives the best return.
recommending Vex bottle & Necro bone to folks is sabotage Cleansing Rod has more use than "none", but folks that want cure clickers are better off pursuing CotF & TDS clickers.
Have to be cautious as it looks like some will share lore groups, I havent looked into it enough as of yet. Believe someone mentioned they might share lore group with prior ones also. Bummer on that
Yes there are better out there, but this one is only for a certain time frame. Can farm COTF and TDS raids through the year.
characters are more productive if they don't own Vex bottle or Necro bone. Time spent on "thoughts and prayers" is time spent better than clicking on those items.
Is there a list of the new type 18/19 augs out there? I know the new ventral defense (frontal % mitigation) and attacker (+accuracy) augs are generally $$$. Historically, ventral defense doesn't stack and accuracy does.
I've only seen Defense (6% softcap), Dorsal (.8% rear), Attacker (6% accuracy), Assaulting Magic (Hammer of Magic II), Casting Magic (Hammer of Magic II) and Enhancement (+30 heroics, 750 hme) I think the Dorsal, Ventral are going to be no better than the Rallos Zek raid ones. So it kinda depends if you've bothered to do the ear and get the raid augs as to how useful the anniversary mission is going to be for your tanking. The randomness sucks. I have 4 Attackers so far ... for a casters group ... out of 10 total runs so far.
My former raid alt paladin still does, but mainly because he was a raid alt paladin. You cannot get the bonus from anywhere else but the augs (I think). And since heroics and hme matter less and less for maxing accumulation, it feels silly not to take advantage of it (sort of the same philosophy on the spec augs and even the shawl brell one). But I've never seen any real parses to try to tease out the effect.
