I wanted to see how the new items released match up against each other. Came out with four builds for reference.

I presume the barb buff is lvl 10 in NW, never paid attention to it. I kept the magic one at 50%, could be lower or higher, not sure. I kept base dex at 200, because i like to use claws to for my pve things.

Things i was looking at. HP, MP (i aoe, i like my mp high), Attack, resistances, Def lvls, attack lvls.

First ring is the new sky cover ring, it also has the add from the new warsong belt.

Second ring is the new r9 ring.

Cube neck stats have been changed, the mag res appears in the first two build appears in the robe. In the last two builds it appears in the chest.

Warsong belt is changed. The stat change appears in the first ring.

I changed the tome skills, the +400 hp appears in the wrists.

1 -New G16 cube neck + warsong belt, new r9 ring and skycover, r9 3rd cast, tt g15 helm + robe

2 -New G16 cube neck, new r9 belt, ring, new skycover, tt g15 robe+helm

3 -New g16 neck, warsong belt, r9 ring, sky cover, G16 helm and robe

4 - New G16 cube neck + warsong belt, new r9 ring and skycover, r9 3rd cast, tt g16 helm + robe

If i had to farm towards any one of those sets, i would go for number 2. The attack levels should come close to negating the def levels of most classes, some classes might still have 5~20 more def levels. But that is better than having to plow through 50~120 def levels to hit someone. The crit rate is good.

Compared to my current bm, those defenses look impossible to achieve b:chuckle. If i added my marrowed pdef and marrowed mdef together, i might get the pdef with mag marrow on.

HP is about 1k~2k less than others, 0~2 def levels lower as well, damage a bit lower as well.

I did not engrave the neckalce for 3 things yet, i have to see the probabilities. Ring engraving didn't have space, and haven't tried it in game with emblems, so didn't bother with it.

The above builds are a reference for me to see how the new stats on the gear stack up with the gear. Whether they are worth investing in or not. R9 3rd Cast, but rest of the gear is "regular"

Same gear, but the simple R9 version

To me it makes sense to upgrade the r9 to r9 3rd cast. The question is whether to farm the new bling or not? I'll change the builds, once pwclac gets updated with new gear b:pleased. Awesome job to the person who maintains pwcalc b:victory.
