New PvP Armour Sets

zekehubris

So what do people think of the new armour sets?

I'm going to have to totally redo my build by the looks of it as none of them have both Ar. Pen and Crit and none of them have +HP.

The fact that none of them have HP really messes with everyone's build I think.

crit seems to be the problem as well coz best armor in mid tree doesnt have it,plus 5 extra crit feat is missing to.
so 33 to 35 crit chance lol.

didn't realize i would lose 10% crit for going for the deflect pvp set and barely gained any deflect for it

oh diminishing returns, how i loathe u

oh well, can still achieve similar stats since i kept my old gear >.>

Don't forget it adds power though, which is good for DF and PoTB and CoS. Also, I'm not sure if that number takes it into consideration, but the set bonus is +450 crit on the armor too.

The stats on this along with healing depression is what caused me to switch back to the deflect based rogue build rather than the conventional max CON/INT. Being able to take this armor set means you need a bit less INT/recovery too since you can get the extra stealth, not to mention extra stealth damage being nice.

Ultimately I may still be just heading over to HR anyway though depending on how well things work.

Wtf, The new TR sets suck so bad

No armor pen, No crit in one set?

in place of HP we have dumb Deflection

and useless power? way to go

crit? all 3 of the sets give life steal o.o

no crit on armor it was on prewie only now its life steel.
so if u stack char instead dex thats 4 more pts with 5 lost in executioner tree thats 9 %crit less and thats just the start.
now you need to make up 2k without enchants so there goes 4,5 crit ,total 15 % less crit easy.
so from usuall 42,3% con int tr to flat 30% crit.
not very good for impact lol.so lashing and pob only viable

I am looking at the collections on Gateway for gear info as that's what I can access right now.

The Grim sets show a life steal bonus. The Profound sets show crit. Is this accurate?

pindaop

yes its crit on profound,
didnt know you can use scoundrel armor with executioner feats

I think the name of the set basically means its somewhat designed for that build but can be used with any feat tree. Like all other gear and enchants you can use which suits your playstyle and needs. To me all the recovery and crit in the world isn't going to do much good if you don't have at least 24 percent armpen at least. That's the minimum for pve and I would think that's very valuable in pvp as well. Thoughts from the Shadow Army?
