Please help me out here, I'm not familiar with ">=<." Would you please clarify? Thanks!
My GF has both a complete Timeless and a complete Stalwart, and I have found (anecdotally, haven't crunched the numbers) that the latter seems far more effective than the former.

I should have just made it a plain "=" sign instead of the other symbols. I meant that either once could be better than the other, depending on the type of situation/build/encounter/etc.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks for clarifying! Agree completely.
Since I mostly tank in guild groups, Stalwart is fantastic (when I am not using one of the nice group sets like KC) but Timeless seems to hold a slight edge in single target DPS.

holy HAMSTER! been excited to wait for this new set..but i just expected another trash like the grym ones -_-" it's kinda turn off now in this coming expansion and dungeon >.<
Too bad, i'm barely using guard, except in pvp, with my tanky GF. I don't even need that, and it's hard to aggro a lot of stuff and block at the same time. :rolleyes:
And feiwild only adds 1 set right? I didn't really expect a dps/carry build to get any goodies, thanks for confirming that. Any info on the new weapons that are supposed to be added?
Why do you guys complain about GF sets being useless? Why wanna change the stalwart for something new? I spent quite a time to enchant my stalwart set with lvl7 stones, and i don't have lots of money to enchant other several sets (And don't forget about soulforged, my lord!)
So i hope this set will remain BiS for a while.
Upgrading to sets with new set bonuses is fun. It's just nice to have the option of new, well thought-out sets with decent bonuses, even if it is expensive to move the enchantments.
Expensive enchantment unsocketing is a necessary evil though, because it removes AD from the game economy. Fortunately, NW's economy is pretty stable as a result of all the gold, seal and astral diamond sinks keeping inflation down. They have done a good job with that, unlike the folks at Blizzard when they designed Diablo 3 (BILLIONS of gold for gear in that game...)

I still hope stalwart set will remain BiS for the next several months))) Personally i don't need that fun of wasting my AD, and i believe majority of players will agree with me. While it's pretty achievable to grind some nice sets and enhance them with rank 5 enchantments, it would become a pain in the bottom to go for rank 7s
So yeah, fooling around with new interesting sets is nice. Totally re-equipping because your gear just became bad with one patch is not
It is man. I farmed enchants off stupid nodes for days and have all rank 7 and 8's in my stalwart. I started out all deflec and recovery. Then I went to AP and Crit with maxed deflec and soft cap defense. Worked out the best for me hands down.. But I threw on timeless and put a couple drake slavemasters on with rank 6 radiants just to see... That set can stray lay it down in a boss fight and in pvp too.
But show me a good reason to put a 60 sec proc on my gear, only get 45% of my guard meter, and it take 5 seconds? Why in the f'ing f would I want that over Stalwart or Timeless. I mean if you want to go turtle and tactic build with high recovery to never die you'll just use grand reagent..
I can honestly say that there is ZERO point in this gear. Like, maybe if it was an 80-100% recovery of guard meter in 2-3 seconds with a 25% chance... Something to give you that BOOM... And F the proc... 60 seconds? Same reason why Holy Avenger isn't in every GF's hand.. the proc is a joke. But lets just let them put this in so they can start fixing real problems lol. Such a stupid set.
Final statements. If you can't afford timeless or stal (helm). Go with 2 pc pvp set, and 2 pc something else. I went for 450 defense, 450 deflec til I got stalwart. If you ever see another set... Burn it. Unless you have like 50-65% damage resistance, then you should go grand reagent... I feel better.
Stalwart Bulwark: This set has been reworked. The new effect is as follows: When you are blocking, strikes against you generate stacks of Stalwart Bulwark. Your next power deals 20 bonus damage for each stack of Stalwart Bulwark on you. You may have up to 10 stacks.

The designers keep designing different sets for different purposes, but their content doesn't require most of those purposes.
So i hope this set will remain BiS for a while.
