Not sure, but got one of those for running dragon mansions quest...will try it out when I get Saaluta reflagged.

(It was BTC when I got it, so can't just switch it to someone flagged already)

OMG DRUNK RAIDS!

Either through DDO store or doing the challenges with kobolds, which is most of them...kill red names and get chests and on occassion an extra goodie, have gotten one of these and 2 kobold save boosts so far, of course,have not done the challenges very often, kinda bored with them and trying to level characters.

Now, if they decide to add the wand bracers back in as rewards, may just try to get a set of those

I hear there's this awesome exploit you can use.

OK, awesome given how little effort they take.

Killing trash as a Monk is kind of important; we're the first melee to get assigned to that.  Killing things immune, or even resistant, to fire is kind of important.  Also haven't been able to get Oremi's ring yet.  That's a lot more effort there than the Frozen Tunic takes.  As I said; build specific.  With Oremi's Ring, I'd probably get less use out of it.

Ki on crits alone is not enough to finance my ki usage against most bosses, or if I'm doing heavy stunning on trash.

I guess, overall, my definition of "awesome" is basically "best in slot, given what else I have, in important parts of the end-game".  Both qualify for me, and, I would think, many other Monks.

Yeah it's pretty sweet.

Dark Earth Stance monk, so Ki Regen plz.

And Freezing Ice counted as Helpless/autocrit way back when. It actually has a higher proc rate than Earthgrab and lasts longer (by a few seconds) with a higher DC.

I'm doing a pair of Air/Water Tier2 wraps on mine. After talking with a guildie, getting +2 WIS, Crushing Wave and Corrosive Salt sounds much better than Lit2 and +2 DEX.

Air/Water wraps are nice due to a ton of the damage being untyped. And I still get Stunning 10.

And I hear you about the Tanks...I play a Dark/Earth Stance monk. Earth 4 give 70% threat now :3

Freezing ice guard was not auto crit it just froze them.  Whether or not updates changed it I cannot say - I used it once when DT came out and it was shit.

Also, Ice guard is a 8sec timer and is a fort save.  Earthgrab is a 6 sec timer with reflex save.  Both are a 35 save and have the same proc rate.  You see earth more often because nothing in this game has good reflex saves in comparison to fortitude.

Also, earthgrab isn't effected by fom like freezing ice guard.  This would actually mean something if mobs casted fom.
