    Automatic? Yup, I agree. But, if I want the best stuff in the game I know what I have to do to get it. Join a raid guild and show up everyday and ill get what I want.

    This item? It will never happen. Unless we're assuming guilds will be raiding this encounter for three weeks every year for the next 26 or so years.if you get what I mean.

    Something to spend all that DKP on it looks like!

    Riou has the idea.

    Why put a non HDex aug in your shield when one is available? I itemize all of my SKs augs for AC + HDex whenever possible, and AC + HAgi (+1%ish Dodge per breakpoint) when it's not. This aug is neither. It doesn't even have particularly good mod2s/mod3s.

    The best I can say about this aug is that it'd be handy for trying to grab top spot in Magelo for hp rankings.

    It's kind of a shame that this stuff requires the kind of organized strat development and raiding power that only raiding guilds can really muster, rather than being something a fun pick-up raid can do for fun and nostalgia.

    This stuff DOES need to be a bit more tuned toward casual raiders.

    Remove the lock out on the raid and level the playing field if you want to compare it to the trash from MM & Naggy. Most guilds are only going to get a shot of this once a week for what time is left (4 weeks depending on when it goes in) . While the cloak and the ring are dropping all day every day.

    Mayong...event?

    Me and Benhan scoured Mistmoore just now, can't find anything that resembles the trigger for a ring event. Can you go into detail, please?

    Removing 10 AC from your shield Aug is basically equivalent to dropping 100AC from your regular slots.
    That's like saying you'd drop 2.5 of your regular AC augs for HP only + hDex.

    I've yet to see any tank with Terrortangler's Gem or Nefori's Horn in their magelo.

    And add spelldmg so int casters have something also. Make it an achievement to select from and all should be happy.
    No sense in limiting this for a raid which is only up very shortly, precedents have been brought up by others.
  10. Jonny Panic Augur

    This is incorrect. Removing 10 AC from your shield is like dropping about 30-40 AC from another slot, depending on class and associated ac softcap.

    And yes, at this point in the game I'd drop 40 AC for +1.5% to +2% more raw damage prevention (the bonuses to Parry and Riposte). +40 AC this late in the game is negligible when you already have 7k-9k AC, but that extra raw 1.5% to 2% is still relevant. The difference between the +8 HDex and the next breakpoint can be closed with tribute, which is dirt cheap in the late game.
  11. Kelefane Augur

    Its 50ac and goes into shield. AC is all that matters for shields.
  12. MrGPAC Augur

    That's not exactly how AC works...how your AC works is relevant to the attack of the mobs you are fighting which keeps going up...its not like you can reach a level where small gains are irrelevant.

    Question...do you have any 0 ac + 8hdex augs?

    ~MrGPAC
  13. Riou EQResource

    If it took you over an interval it would be better to do that option yes, you don't need to do so nowadays however with even more augs being +8 agi/dex with 35+ ac.
  14. Lifeshriek Augur

    Personally I would like to see a choice of 1 of any of the items on the loot table being a reward window option (and then a flag of some sort so you can pick only one, perhaps), the drum for example, is also a very nice piece because of its clicky.

    This aug should be cursor loot in either the raid or a group mission, please.

    Can we get a dev reply? Perhaps make the aug cursor/reward loot before its pushed back live?

    It's live again, and the only rewards are 5 items in the chest + 2 hero's forge pieces on Naggy.
