haveing a hard time with this one currently im full profound 4/4 but i cant tell which one i should be going for i would do black ice but getting the gloves/mainhand im beginning to think will never happen after 100+ runs the drop rate is horrendous. any help would be of use.

or does it really make a huge diffrence in the long run only thing i can think of is the overload slots which i would be missing out on?

    I used to use full profound and i can say now that black ice is way better. I use purified black ice and i have 39k hp with 2k regen and still have 6.8k power and 2k crit and armor. I can deal very good dmg and survive a lot too :)

    The weapon set bonus and armor set bonus and the overload slots gives you so much regen and healing options its great.

    I've been thinking about this too. I have both Profound Preserver and Purified BI.

    True, stats wise, Purified is way better than Preserver, more power, more HP never go wrong in PvP.

    But, when I was using Purified, I really missed the bonus Guard meter and run speed from Preserver. I really need that run speed bonus in PvP, it makes difference against TR, you can avoid their DF much easier, and having more guard meter really helps you survive when you have to hold a node. Maybe without Healing Depression Purified will outperform Preserver by large margin, but with HD I cant rely on large HP and regen only like pre-tenacity patch, I need Guard meter too to survive. So, Im back using Preserver after series of testing.

    But, thats me thou :D

    Yeah i got lucky i got my sword on second beholder fight and i got my gauntlets on second day of trying but i would have probably quit if it took more than a week :/

    I will say its worth it though, the black ice gear whatever you choose is great.

    yeah been at it for week now i have done nothing but run back and forth to beholder/remo/raiders and still nothing as much as i would love to have the BI set im beginning to question if it's even worth my time anymore i currently have full profound so i may just stick with that or heck maybe ill level a new GF once mod 4 hits for the fun of it go back and try and get all those triple kills i may never get at 60.

    im worried though that once mod 4 drops no one will be in IWD doing these encounters anymore. lol i have like a million of the ingredients to make the gear but none of the mainhand and gloves and without those it's kinda useless.

    Profound seems better as the set bonus boosts GS usually, however I too have gone to Black Ice Gear! I even sold my corrupted armor ( 3 ) pieces at first as i was like man this is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>....


    Then I really sat down and wrote down stats and bonuses on paper and I was hmmmm, I then had to re grind got everything but 1 ring and my main hand, and I can say my stats are better, my hp is better, only thing I lack is defense.

    Overpowered 60 CW ~ Thaumaturge 14.5k

    ~ GF Buffs were great we are much better, please fix the bugs now... Thank you!

    Preserver will be seeing a lot of love once Mod 4 hits. Great set bonus when you pair it up with Shield Talent and Guarded Assault. :)

    true and now with mod4 i have come to the conclussion BI will be even harder to get also now the eway guard works perserver seems the way to go.

    and with the rework on rampaging madness most people will have to go with endless consumption so i have figured out a way to get 10% lifesteal and 10% regen for my pvp setup by only switching 1 ring and belt and through boons and the new armor kits it's possible

    a pretty deadly combo. however the new overload enchantments look insane so it might be better to go head and bracers just for the overload slots if i could ever get the bracers that is

    I have both sets Purified and corrupted.My main pvp is the corrupted.But cause it decays i use the purified in pve/IWD/KR .
    Both are great .Purified cause the extra regen and corrupted cause it is the only set that offers so much armpen.
    I can exceed 23% armpen plus 11 from dex and 16% from bronzewood it help me a lot.

    But as many said in mod4 the profound PVP amors may made a glorious retirn.As i said in another post our timed guard is still low and the old way of gameplay blocking is not wise anymore.

    only good thing i can think of from the ice gear is the overload slots other than that profound has way more tenacity and defense

    Most problem i see the new owerload enchant will help you only in pve.
    In pvp there are 2 powerfull class how can ignore any DMR shild block ITC unstoppable Astral shild.
