Hi guys ....I am writting this post to ask all ppl out there which gear set and armor set is best for a gf .
I have 18k gs with grand regent armor set and ancient gear set.
Although dread ring and fomorian armor set has better stats from the grand regent one,when i equip the 4 parts of grand regent i gain 1100 power (20% defense = power ).i dont know what to do ,keep grand regent or take fomorian or dread ring one ??
I have the same question for gear set,try collecting dread ring or fomorian one gear set.
Thank you for the advise!!! :o

    It's more of a question of comparing "Armor of the Dread Legion" Versus "Fabled Plate" :

    Armor of the Dread Legion - Recov, Defense, Deflect & Life Steal. Direct upgrade from Grand Regent, swapping Regen for Life Steal.
    Dread Legion 4pc bonus - +500 Deflect, +1250 HP (procs often)

    Fabled Iliyanbruen Plate - Recov, Defense, Deflect & Regeneration. Direct upgrade from Grand Regent (more points).
    Fabled Plate 4pc bonus - +45% block over 5 sec every 60 seconds

    Regen is better than Life Steal as GF's do not generate enough DPS to make it worth it... Even with Endless consumption & a Conq GF, it is negligible. So the Fabled set is better than the Dread Legion on points strictly because Regen > Life Steal.

    However, the Fabled Plate 4pc bonus is absolutely useless! It's a HAMSTER set. On the other hand, the Dread Legion 4pc bonus actually adds some tankiness that I find useful.

    So, take it as you wish... Life Steal is not very useful, nor is the 4pc Fabled set bonus. Take the lesser of 2 turds.

    Yes you are right,i didnt set the right tilte (first time i post sth ).
    You forgot something however.When y wear full set of grand regent you gain power =20%defense( for me this is 1100 power ).That makes me really unsureif i have to change my grand regent set.In addition i am not sure about the fomorian gear set(sword and shield ) versus the dread legion one gear set.They have almost the same stats.

    Stick with the Grand Regent... Timeless is a good "grind set", but you're better off with the Grand Regent than any other tbh.

    The PWE Developers have this idea in their heads that every GF wants or needs to be a turtle and all the sets they have released after the game was released have followed this montra.

    Here's hoping they eventually realize that their game doesn't want/need any "turtles". Proof of that can easily be expressed by how many players either shelved or deleted their GF's when they nerfed the Stalwart set into uselessness.

    Thank you for the advise,i really appreciate it.Do y have a gf too ??and if yes ,which are your set and gs ??
    I believe that grand regent armor set is the best,although many think of timeless.Many gf's with timeless set have told me that they feel "week" in end game.
    Lastly, i think that fomorian gear set maybe a little better that that of dread legion( with gear set i mean sword and shield )

    GF : c0mad0r, 18.5k GS (Stone, 5 epic pets, Rank 8s & 9s) - http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3732/12576998935_98deb24c29_b.jpg

    PVP:
    2 pc High General, 2 pc Timeless or Knight Captain

    PVE VT, CN, MC and SP:
    Knight Captain T1 (Team buff)

    PVE Grind & all other Epic DD's:
    Timeless

    And yes, I really do run around with 3 sets. I also swap out my Lethal Berserker Belt for a Reinforced Frostpelt Girdle or Ancient Exorcist for Bloodied Frostwolf Pelt neck piece in certain scenarios.

    Hope that helps!

    Formian > Dread > Ancient

    Comparisons here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoLRo1M6-ypfdENfQkZQS05mWnFOYS1fcWE0VURzYVE&usp=sharing

    The Formian is better because it does NOT have any Life Steal on it.

    EDIT:

    Reason I do not have the Grand Regent:

    To get the most out of Grand Regent you must put everything you can into Defense, which often causes one to not have enough Armor Penetration or Critical Strike. Since I like to do good damage AND tank (hint to developers), I choose not to use any of the new sets and only use sets with Power & Armor Penetration on them.

    I really appreciate your help.Thank y :D I have made all these lists but i wasnt sure which one to choose.
    It seems that both gear sets are quite close but y are right about life steal as we are not dps class.
    I may see y in the game ;) Thanks again!!
