Have any of these proven better than Vivified/Titansteel? Any opinions? After finishing the mod 12 campaign, I've been building up a squishy alt as I didn't see anything that looked better than what I already had.... ILevel epeen not withstanding.

    Mod 12b makes it even worse, at least for my CW. Going to need to replace a lot of lost crit and arp to cap...lowering power. Only a few pieces of il500 gear are worth it imo.

    Imo the Arms are the best of the Primal pieces primarily for its extra power, whose set bonus does work off buffed power. The only class where I wouldn't instantly reccomend them is AC DC, because I'm not sure if the Arms contributes to base power.

    I don't know if the chestpiece's setbonus works with Steely Defense, but if I had the Primal chestpiece on my GWF, I would test it.

    Other than the arms, you really are just looking for what has the best stats.

    pfffttt

    On the boots for Vivivfied versus Primal, you trade Power or Crit for Recovery or ArmPen.

    And in exchange, you get the ability to cast OF, then instantly recharge your AP for full, because lol3%ofAPgainperkillwithoutICD. Or, in the bossfights with adds, you cast CoI on boss, and then let the adds run into your CoI and give you free AP.

    Good trade imo, since apart from laggy instances, Ice Knife/OF are satisfying dailies to use and more Ice Knife spam is always (n)ice.

    Some good ideas for my squishy CW when he gets to Chult. I may switch a piece or two on my GWF for more Arpen. Again, lowering Power, ugh.

    Mod 12b is going to be like playing 52 card pickup with my character's stats, which were perfect for the current meta.
