Hey guys and gals! Looking for some advice. We have doubly rp coming up on the Xbox. I have a green orcus set waiting in the bank. I'm currently wearing a maxed lostmouth set, i need to know if it's worth the rp and AD to change sets. I'm a 4.2 Conq tank that focuses on tanking over dps, but i like being able to do my dailies in a timely manner
I have 140k+ hp, 97% DR with bondings, so I'm good defensively. But I'm not sure if the dmg increase for the orcus set is that significant enough for a GF to worry about it, considering i already have the maxed lol set.
Is it that noticeable for a GF? Worth it?

I would only swap to Orcus if you are planning to be a full time DPS GF and the difference in DPS potential I don't think will be that big (I'm not good with math like Sharpie, so I can't quite calculate the DPS boost).
I know @kacezet has recently made the change from a Losty set to Porkus set, but he's also a (mostly) fulltime DPS GF, so... I don't know what feedback he might have that would add to your decision.
Orcus set will add some % which is most needed when it comes to bursting high numbers fast other than that you as a tank conq will not miss out on much compared to what Valhalla or full recovery set will offer..e
I wanted a neck that provided power, defense and AC: Lathander works perfect.
I wanted the Lostmauth belt for the extra STR and DEX for added RI and Damage along with offensive stats.
For artifacts I went with a mix for HP, Power, Crit, and Defense: Sigil of Controller, Sigil of Devoted, Sigil of the Guardian and Wheel of Elements.
As for gear I went with the chest plate that provides GF/OP 50K and used the Dragon Visage head for Arm Pen and more Power. Than I use Dusk gear that focused on defensive ability to boost defense and deflection.
I use the Moonbow companion for added 15% crit for myself and my group along with bonding for addition to defense. Than her gear is a mix between defense and offensive, mostly offensive.
I compared my old build to the new one and the new one has just as much ability to survive as a tank but now does way more damage.
My old build it took 25 minutes solo Barakas in Shores, yesterday it took 15 minutes.
You have to find a build that works for you. The artifacts other than the DPS ones from what I can see are not worth the investment from my experience. Just get artifacts that will help your build.
All I can say is with 100% crit chance Lostmauth set bonus was doing only around 300k dmg in a CN, it's pretty much worthless after the nerf, any other set will be better.
If I was going full on tank, the Valhalla set artifacts have stats that are really good for a tank: Recovery, Defense, Deflection, HP, etc.. The set bonus itself is damage reduction, again, good for a tank.
If I was 100% tank for my GF, than Valhalla it would be for me, but that isn't how I play.
Another option is Seladine, but that set bonus is just huh...1% heal after taking in X amount of damage. I mean at 160K HP that is 1.6K health back after taking a hit for 16K or more in damage. Not a good choice IMO. The artifact itself with the ability to heal the group isn't bad, but that isn't a job of the tank, that is the job of a healer. The tank focus IMO is hold threat and buff the group up whenever possible.
