Hey!
I've a question, what are the artifact I have to put on my warrior?
My talents are full protector.

Thx

I'm a big Protector fan. Seems like everyone is Tactician these days.

Sigil of devoted is bis for almost all classes.
Personally haven't tested, but Sigil of pally could be useful (for a while) IF the extra DR it provides when popped buffs your itf. Lantern could be viable for the debuff.

Obviously your secondary artifacts should have tank type stats, such as deflect, defense, stamina gain, control resist, ect..

My last piece of advice isn't exactly artifact advice, but it's semi relevant.
Movement speed is something to consider important with a gf.. At least in my mind.

Hey!
Thx dude, but what is Semi Relevant??

rryman · September 2016

Semi = somewhat ,. So the advice is kind of relevant, pertaining to your question

You can run Sigil of devoted to rotate fighters recovery and pop steel defense (sort becoming immune on a constant bases but still requires timing though SD gets a nerf down the road). Or you can use Sigil of the guardian, lantern for buff (I say no to that one unless you are running dps conquerer, I would rather survive and tank/buff), Sigil of the oathbound is nice. If you run the last 3, I recommend an eye of the lathander artifact set to go with those with a soulforged on armor enchantment, and drowned set as artifact weapon set (though burning is nice also). That way it revives you, heals you, and party.

I use a devoted simply because of how diverse it can be on the many builds a GF has, just to many uses I get out of it for now........Tc.

Sigil of devoted, Guardian, symbol of fire, and Lathanders eye are what I rock.

I use sigil of the guardian, brueners battle hammer, waters of elihzad, and symbol of celdarine. 3 are given with quests and the other was given to me

iccyasd · September 2016

I use sigil of the guardian(switch with Eye of Lathander), waters of elihzad, brueners helm and symbol of fire

madjestyk · September 2016

what do you think about sigil of devoted + sigil of pally + lantern of revelation + symbol of fire?

Thx folks

The sigil of the paladin will be useless for the added DR gain when our rework happens.

madjestyk · September 2016

Oh ok thank you ^^

I personally run the protectors path as well. For artifacts I use the following
Emblem of Seldarine: Defense, LifeSteal, Companion bonus
Oghma's Token of Free Movement: Defense, Deflection, Control Resist
Sigil of the guardian: Defense, Deflection, AoE Resist
Sigil of the scourge: Power Deflection, Stamina/Guard gain. (Swapping this for Apocalypse Dagger (PWR, Defl, Comp Inf)

In our current mod on xbox, the only 2 stats you care about are Defense (Boosts your Into the Fray's potency) and Recovery (Speeds up your Fray). Waters of Elah'zad is current BiS (Best in Slot) as the only artifact that has 1000 Defense, and 1000 Recovery. Symbol of Fire is also good, 1000 Defense, 600 Recovery. After those 2, you have a ton of different choices, most have been listed already. I would recommend all your artifacts have 1000 defense if possible. HOWEVER.....in the event you don't know already, next mod makes Fray not require Defense to gain potency. So following what's best now, will result in a bunch of wasted time and effort shortly (Probably less than a month at this point)

Sigil's DR gain does NOT increase fray right now, nor has it ever. It's easy to test for yourself too. Cast Fray and look at the damage range of a move, then cast your Sigil before casting Fray and look again...the numbers are the same. Not everything that says Damage Resistance counts towards Fray.

zman81420 · September 2016

@masteroga it does indeed work with into the fray. Applied DR does not show on stat sheet. Trust me I've been down this road for long time.

greyhawk · September 2016

OP sigil does indeed boost ItF by 20%. And different ranks of the sigil stack I've heard - not actually done this...

nightranger7477 · September 2016

Which unfortunately will be worthless come mod 10..... I currently run eye, waters, guardian and oghmas.

zman81420 · September 2016

Yup^

masteroga · September 2016

Z man....how did you confirm it worked? I personally tried a green version, and a guildmate tried a mythic....damage didn't change even 1 point with either version

zman81420 · September 2016

By equipping the mythic artifact and using it. Easy as that. BTW I wouldn't read to much into it or invest much towards it with the DR changes to come.

Which artifact for my guardian fighter?
