This has me wondering what bosses or mobs in general have so much fort bypass that people will need 230+.  There are also exceptional fort boosts of up to 25% of items, and you can pick up fort in enhance trees and such also.

My understanding is that a mob with sneak attack ignores 1 fort per CR.  Mobs without sneak dice don't have fort bypass.  If I'm correct to even have a 1% chance to crit someone wearing this armor a mob would need sneak dice and a CR of 131.

Bosses might have some fort bypass or ignore it, and some champs just ignore it.  But for the ones that just ignore it no amount matters, so what's the point?

I guess it lets you suck down the int yugo pots without worrying too much about getting critted by the trash.

Don't forget also justifying prior item and enhancement nerfs with the excuse of trying to reduce the different number of bonus types.

Loot is irrelevant at this point. Much more important to make enjoyable and repeatable quests.

Gawd yes.

Cool, but why is it made of wood? Presumably for Druids, I guess, but haven't all previous docents been made of "Gem" and thus wearable by Druids (without breaking their oaths) anyway???

Why would you even be a warforged druid? That's like being a Jewish Nazi. Sure, you CAN do it, but it's just a contradiction in terms.

Creativity does seem to be missing.  If you want to know what I think creative is, I'm thinking of items like the Jibber's blade, the master's gift/Voice of the Master, the PLIS, the beholder Eye optics/doomsphere ring, the silver flame necklace, the visor of the flesh rendor guards, ring of the anscestors, the Royal guard mask, the litany of the dead, the belt of braided beards. Which all represent unique and creative loot that often has value far beyond the "Stats".  Those are the type of items I'd like to see at least one of in each pack.  Even a Visions of Precision, Celestia or an Eidolon Necklace.  (I thought the HH loot in general was pretty creative).

I'm pretty sure druid compatibility is determined by body feat. (As in default composite is ok but mithral or adamantine body break oath.) Is this item implying that you can wear it with metal body feat?

This.

The fact that they once again came up with a loot system that you can't search the AH for gear by what it improves and what slots it has shows how wilfully obtuse they are. They don't play the game and have nothing but a spiteful Fuck You for those of us who do.

Am I reading that right?  109 potency @ lvl 13?  And a green slot?
Freekin awesome caster item.

It's funny how I get lumped in as a "fanboi".

It clearly shows that you haven't read many of my posts on the forums!

I've been highly critical of Turbine on numerous occasions!



As for the +7/+8 thing - The best I've got on any of my characters or in my shared crafting bank is +6 and I don't run E-GH anywhere near enough to get the requisite Epic Relics for either so it really doesn't matter to me if they go up to+8.

What does matter is that E-Orchard Gear {Min Lvl 27} has stat bonuses of +11!
I'm simply not going to take off my Fanged Gloves for +1/2 or even 4 Quality Int! {Yes I know the Gloves in this update are Cha but chances are I'm going to be taking something off that I can't afford to take off to wear them!}.



Finally - Someone said something about Leg GS - Chances are if I do somehow manage to make an LGS item {Lol - I haven't even run Leg Shroud yet!} the first one will be a Weapon and I don't want my Main Stat on a Weapon!
What happens when I need to swap Weapons?

This is the same reason I don't want Deadly on a Weapon!

Fran, don't be a tool.  You cried "Where will I get my +12 to stat!?!" and I gave you an easy source for +15 to stat.  Your refusal to run content is not any reason to try to invalidate the answer.  If I listed a specific +12 stat item you would have come back and said "I hate and don't run that quest" as if I gave a rat's ass.  Grow a pair and run some end game content, it's not as if the raids are terribly hard, and you know the layout already since turbine just recycles old content to save work for the one guy they have left who remembers how to use the typewriter-era software they use to make new dungeons.

What happens when you swap weapons?  Your stat goes down until you swap back, idiot.  That's how this works.  Don't make a LGS +15 Str shortsword if you don't plan on carrying a shortsword in most fights.  How hard is this for you?

And finally, learn to parenthesis.  It's shift-9 and shift-0, not shift-[ and shift-].

All of it is vendor trash.
